Austin Walter (illness) is out for the rest of today.

Walter did not have any carries before leaving Week 14 against the Saints. Hopefully this isn’t anything too serious and he’s feeling better soon.

Lamar Jackson is getting carted to the locker room.

[UPDATE: It is officially an ankle injury for Jackson, who is questionable to return.] Jackson went down and hobbled off the field, and now he’s been struggling to put weight on his leg and has been carted to the locker room. So this doesn’t look great, but hopefully Jackson is able to return to today’s Week 14 game at Cleveland.

Kareem Hunt (ankle) is officially questionable to return for the Browns.

Hunt appeared to take a shot to the knee/lower leg area, and he went to the locker room to get checked out. It’s probably a good sign that Hunt is being called questionable, but this has the look of a potential high-ankle sprain. We’ll see if he’s able to return for today’s Week 14 matchup versus the Ravens.

Tony Pollard (foot) is officially inactive for Week 14.

Pollard was trying to make a push to play, but he’s being held out against Washington with the torn plantar fascia. Consider Pollard week-to-week for now.

The Texans placed David Johnson on the reserve/COVID-19 list.

A late positive test puts Johnson out for today’s Week 14 matchup with the Seahawks kicking off in 90 minutes. Rex Burkhead is set to lead the Houston backfield today.

Darrell Henderson has been placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list.

It was reported earlier that Henderson was dealing with an illness, and being placed on the list knocks him out for Monday night. We had already suspected Sony Michel would be the lead back and a top-15 option at the position, so this news solidifies him as an RB1—and it’s another opportunity to the former first-round pick to make a case to remain the lead back the rest of the way. Hopefully Henderson is feeling better soon and will be back for Week 15.

The Jets are placing Elijah Moore (quad) on injured reserve, according to The Athletic’s Connor Hughes.

Moore was questionable for this week, so it’s a definite surprise to hear he’ll now miss three games. It’s definitely unfortunate, as Moore had a great opportunity to step up as the clear No. 1 wideout the rest of the way with Corey Davis (core) done for the season, and that will now be put on hold for at least three games. New York will now rely on Jamison Crowder as the top target for Zach Wilson, and Denzel Mims (along with Keelan Cole) should get plenty of opportunities to shine.
