[CAR - QB Cam Newton still an option in Carolina?]() Source: ESPN.com - David Newton Carolina Panthers QB [Cam Newton]( (foot) wasn't ruled out as a potential starting option for the 2020 season by new head coach Matt Rhule Wednesday, Jan. 8. 'I certainly look forward to working with him. I hope so. But I don't know enough about, really, everything that's kinda happening right now,' Rhule said when asked if Newton is part of the team's future plans. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] The future is unclear for Newton but speculation remains that he will be on the trade block this offseason. The 2015 NFL MVP is coming off of season-ending foot surgery and will enter the final year of his contract. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 2. [MIN - WR Stefon Diggs cleared for Saturday]() Source: Vikings.com Minnesota Vikings WR [Stefon Diggs]( (illness) practiced in full Thursday, Jan. 9, and was removed from the injury report for his team's Divisional Round game against the San Francisco 49ers. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Diggs missed a couple of practices this week dealing with this injury. With Adam Thielen banged up (ankle) the team may need Diggs more than usual. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 3. [MIN - RB Dalvin Cook set for Divisional Round]() Source: Vikings.com Minnesota Vikings RB [Dalvin Cook]( (shoulder) practiced in full Thursday, Jan. 9, and was removed from the injury report for the team's Divisional Round game. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Cook helped the team run over the Saints in the Wild Card game. He'll be the centerpiece of what they do on offense against the 49ers on Saturday. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 4. [MIN - WR Adam Thielen doesn't practice Thursday]() Source: Vikings.com Minnesota Vikings WR [Adam Thielen]( (ankle) didn't practice Thursday, Jan. 9. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Thielen received stitches for a cut he sustained during practice on Wednesday. The Vikings are going to limit him until they play on Saturday against the 49ers. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 5. [BAL - RB Mark Ingram officially questionable]( Source: TitansOnline.com Baltimore Ravens RB [Mark Ingram]( (calf) was limited in practice Thursday, Jan. 9, and is listed as questionable for the team's Divisional Round game against the Tennessee Titans. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Ingram had a little bit of a setback with his calf injury but now seems like he'll be as ready as possible for Saturday's game. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 6. [BAL - TE Mark Andrews listed as questionable]( Source: TitansOnline.com Baltimore Ravens TE [Mark Andrews]( (ankle) was limited in practice Thursday, Jan. 9, and is listed as questionable for the team's Divisional Round game against the Tennessee Titans. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Andrews is not at full strength but he's still going to play against the Titans. The Ravens are one of the most dangerous offenses in the league, in part thanks to what Andrews can do at the tight end position. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 7. [HOU - Limited practice for WR Will Fuller]() Source: Chiefs.com Houston Texans WR [Will Fuller]( (groin) was a limited participant in practice Thursday, Jan. 9. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Fuller should be able to go against the Chiefs on Sunday. However, Fuller is always a risk to get hurt or re-injure himself during the game. We'll see what kind of practice he can get in on Friday. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 8. [KC - TE Travis Kelce remains limited]() Source: Chiefs.com Kansas City Chiefs TE [Travis Kelce]( (knee) was limited in practice once again Thursday, Jan. 9. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Kelce is not 100 percent but he's going to be out there against the Texans in the Divisional Round. Expect him to be on the attack against a Texans defense that can be vulnerable to a playmaker like Kelce. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 9. [GB - RB Jamaal Williams stays full at practice](=) Source: Packers.com Green Bay Packers RB [Jamaal Williams]( (shoulder) remained a full participant in practice Thursday, Jan. 9. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Williams is good to go for the Divisional Round against Seattle. The Packers will run the ball early and often with Aaron Jones. Williams will serve as his primary backup and bring some power to the field when needed. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 10. [GB - TE Jimmy Graham limited Thursday](=) Source: Packers.com Green Bay Packers TE [Jimmy Graham]( (wrist, non-injury) participated in a limited practice Thursday, Jan. 9. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Graham or somebody not named Davante Adams needs to elevate their game in the passing attack for the Divisional Round game against the Seahawks. The veteran tight end isn't quite what he used to be but perhaps he'll be able to shake free for Aaron Rodgers here and there. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 11. [TEN - Week 19 injury report for Tennessee]( Source: The Tennessean - Erik Bacharach Tennessee Titans LB Jayon Brown (shoulder) and WR [Adam Humphries]( (ankle) did not practice all week and have been ruled out for the team's AFC Divisional Round game against the Baltimore Ravens. WR [Cody Hollister]( (ankle) was limited in practice Thursday, Jan. 9, and is listed as questionable. OG Nate Davis (illness), CB Adoree' Jackson (foot), RB [Dion Lewis]( (shoulder), WR [Kalif Raymond]( (concussion) and LB Kamalei Correa (illness) practiced in full Thursday and have been removed from the injury report. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] So long as RB Derrick Henry is good to go, the Titans have a chance. They'll be using Henry to soften up the Ravens defense. Humphries is out at the wide receiver position but Raymond is back for the Titans this week. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 12. [BAL - Baltimore's Week 19 injury report]( Source: The Tennessean - Erik Bacharach Baltimore Ravens TE [Mark Andrews]( (ankle) and RB [Mark Ingram]( (calf) were limited in practice Thursday, Jan. 9, and are listed as questionable for the team's AFC Divisional Round game versus the Tennessee Titans. CB Jimmy Smith (non-injury), S Earl Thomas (non-injury) and DT [Brandon Williams]( (non-injury) practiced in full Thursday and no longer appear on the injury report. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Andrews and Ingram should be ready to go against the Titans on Saturday. Both should be big parts of what the Ravens want to do on offense in the Divisional Round. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 13. [TEN - WR Adam Humphries a no-go for divisional round](=) Source: ESPN.com - Turron Davenport Tennessee Titans WR [Adam Humphries]( (ankle) has been ruled out for the team's NFC Divisional Round matchup against the Baltimore Ravens on Saturday, Jan. 11. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Zero surprise here. Humphries hasn't been able to play in over a month due to this ankle injury. The Titans are getting reserve receiver Kalif Raymond back for the Divisional Round after his missed time due to a concussion. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 14. [MIN - WR Adam Thielen draws questionable tag]() Source: ProFootballTalk.com - Josh Alper Minnesota Vikings [Adam Thielen]( is listed as questionable for the team's divisional-round playoff game at San Francisco on Saturday, Jan. 11. 'I just got a little tangled up in practice but I'm going to do whatever it takes -- it's playoffs,' Thielen said on NFL Network Thursday. 'I'll do whatever it takes to be out there on Saturday with my teammates and try to help this team win.' [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Thielen had to get stitches for a bad cut on his ankle suffered in practice Wednesday, Jan. 8. The Vikings are going to take it easy on him with the anticipation that he'll be able to play on Saturday against the 49ers. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 15. [WAS - QB Dwayne Haskins not locked in as QB1]() Source: ESPN.com - John Keim Washington Redskins QB [Dwayne Haskins]( will need to earn the starting job leading up the 2020 season, according to comments made by head coach Ron Rivera, who said that, 'We won't know until we get ready to open up in September,' while also mentioning that the team has 'good veteran quarterbacks that [will] get some opportunities to play.' [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] A most....interesting...news item here. While we don't need Rivera to do cartwheels when talking about Haskins, most did expect him to declare with certainty that Haskins was their guy...at least for 2020. At the end of the day this is likely just coach-speak and Rivera doesn't want to overstate anything. Haskins needs better weapons around him and he can build on what he flashed in his rookie season. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 16. [KC - KC adds RB Mike Weber to practice squad](=) Source: Chiefs Digest - Matt Derrick The Kansas City Chiefs signed free agent RB Mike Weber (Cowboys) to the practice squad on Wednesday, Jan. 8. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Weber was a seventh-round pick out of Ohio State in the 2019 NFL draft for the Cowboys. He was outplayed in the preseason by Tony Pollard and was waived. Weber is a player we will monitor but only in crazy deep dynasty formats. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 17. [NFL - Kendrick Rogers declares for draft]( Source: ProFootballTalk.com - Charean Williams Texas A&M WR Kendrick Rogers announced his intention to enter the 2020 NFL Draft on Wednesday, Jan. 8. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Rogers started seven games for the Aggies in 2019, catching 30 passes for 351 yards and two touchdowns. At 6'4" 204, Rogers has a nice size/athleticism combination but might only be a late-round pick or priority free agent. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 18. [NFL - Cole McDonald entering 2020 draft]( Source: NFLDraftScout.com - Matt Miller Hawaii QB Cole McDonald announced on Twitter Wednesday, Jan. 8, he's entering the 2020 NFL Draft. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] McDonald has good size at 6'4" 220 pounds and he does throw with proper velocity. He threw 69 touchdowns over the last two seasons but turnovers have been a problem for the Warriors quarterback with 24 interceptions during that time. McDonald will likely be a late-round pick or priority free agent. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- That'll do it for today, Folks.
