Tyreek Hill is being placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list.

Hill joins Travis Kelce and others on the Chiefs as COVID positives over the past two days, as the major issues around the league continue even after the “targeted” testing kicked in starting this week. Hill is now in serious doubt for Week 15, but we’ll see if he can get cleared in time for Sunday.

Jakeem Grant (concussion) has been ruled out for the remainder of the game.

Grant will be a big loss for Chicago on offense and special teams as they try to generate points, so hopefully someone can step up. The dynamic weapon will have a day less than usual to get cleared for Week 16.

Jakeem Grant has entered the concussion protocol.

Grant did a semi-flip and landed on his head, so he went to the locker room and could be done for the night. If so, Chicago will rely more on Damiere Byrd and others behind Darnell Mooney.

Adam Thielen (ankle) officially inactive for Week 15.

Thielen having been questionable is hopefully a good sign for his chances of returning soon, but he’ll need at least one more week to heal up. K.J. Osborn will again be the No. 2 wideout behind Justin Jefferson, and the passing attack is in a good spot tonight with Chicago not having top cornerback Jaylon Johnson (COVID-19 list).

Kendrick Bourne has been placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list.

Bourne is among a few dozen players to be placed on the COVID list today, and his Week 16 is now in doubt. The free-agent acquisition has been a key player in the New England offense this season, but look for N’Keal Harry to step into a bigger role if Bourne misses time.

Travis Kelce is being placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list.

Yet another big name is added to the list today, but ESPN’s Adam Schefter says that Kelce is vaccinated and has a shot to return for Sunday. So, now Kelce is working against the clock to get cleared for Week 16.

The Titans designated A.J. Brown (various) for return from injured reserve.

This means Brown can practice with the team, and it gives him a shot to play this Thursday night against the 49ers to kick off Week 16. We’d say Brown will make a strong push to play, but Tennessee will want to see how the superstar receiver looks during the light week of practice.
