DeAndre Hopkins (hamstring) is uncertain for Week 13.

Hopkins is set to be a game-time decision again for this Sunday against the Bears. Hopkins was not spotted at practice today, which might not bode well for his status; but Hopkins is a player that’s played a lot throughout his career without much practice time during the week. The good news is Arizona plays in the early slate of games on Sunday, so Hopkins will be officially in or out by 11:30 AM ET on gameday.

Kyler Murray expected to be a game-time decision in Week 13.

The hope was that Murray would be ready to go following the bye, but he apparently isn’t quite at 100% yet. That said, Murray did practice fully to start this week, and Cardinals head coach Kliff Kingsbury says the team is being “overly cautious” with their franchise quarterback. Thankfully, the Cardinals play at 1:00 PM ET this week, so Murray’s status will be official by late Sunday morning.

J.D. McKissic (concussion) has been ruled out for Week 13.

This was expected after McKissic went down on Monday night, and hopefully he can get healthy soon. Look for Antonio Gibson to handle another monster workload coming off a 36-touch performance.

Taysom Hill is feared to have a torn tendon in his finger that may require surgery, according to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport.

Hill didn’t miss any snaps last night after the injury, but he was clearly not sharp throwing the ball and had a splint on his middle finger. The issue is said to be similar to what Russell Wilson had earlier this year, though it’s clearly not as serious, and Hill was still effective from a fantasy perspective because of his rushing ability. The Saints fortunately have a few extra days before Week 14, and hopefully we get clarity on his status soon.

Boston Scott (illness) is questionable for Week 13.

Scott has missed practice time this week due to his illness, and hopefully he’s feeling better soon and can play Sunday against the Jets. Jordan Howard (knee) is already out for the Eagles, but at least Miles Sanders is ready to go.

Jordan Howard (knee) is officially out for Week 13.

As expected, Howard will miss his second consecutive game with his knee injury. The hope is that he will be able to return following Philadelphia’s Week 14 bye.

Breshad Perriman is being signed to the Buccaneers’ active roster.

Perriman had been a practice squad call up for the Bucs, but he’s now being signed to the active roster outright with Antonio Brown suspended for violating COVID protocols. The big-play receiver is someone to keep an eye on in deep leagues.
