[CLE - QB Baker Mayfield to miss season finale]() Source: ESPN - Adam Schefter Updating a previous report, Cleveland Browns QB [Baker Mayfield](=) (shoulder) will not play against the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 18, according to head coach Kevin Stefanski. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Mayfield has been trying to play through this injury for quite some time - and he hasn't been playing well as a result. The Browns will have Case Keenum as their starter in Week 18. Mayfield has one more year left on his contract, and reports indicate the Browns will bring in competition for the starting job in 2022 training camp.

[DAL - QB Dak Prescott, starters will play](=) Source: 105.3 The Fan Dallas Cowboys QB [Dak Prescott](=) and the rest of the regulars will play in Week 18 as owner Jerry Jones said the team will 'play to win.' [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] The Cowboys want to build some momentum into the postseason. They have a top-4 seed, but they cannot get a first-round bye as that's going to the Packers in the NFC. However, the Cowboys can move up in the playoff rankings with a win.

[DAL - WR Michael Gallup lands on IR]() Source: Dallas Cowboys Public Relations Dallas Cowboys WR [Michael Gallup](=) (knee) was placed on the Reserve/Injured list Tuesday, Jan. 4. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] No surprise here. Gallup's season is done with this ACL injury, and now he begins the road to recovery. A free agent in 2022, this injury will unfortunately hurt the market for his services. Even with a miraculous recovery, Gallup's availability for the start of the 2022 season is up in the air. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 4. [DAL - TE Blake Jarwin cleared to practice]() Source: SportsTalk 790 - Aaron Wilson Dallas Cowboys TE [Blake Jarwin](=) (hip) was designated for return from the Reserve/Injured list Tuesday, Jan. 4. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Jarwin comes back for the playoffs. The Cowboys now have a 21-day window to choose whether or not to activate their tight end.

[JAX - Jim Caldwell meeting with Jacksonville]() Source: The Florida Times-Union - Gene Frenette Former Indianapolis Colts and Detroit Lions head coach Jim Caldwell is reportedly interviewing with the Jacksonville Jaguars to discuss the team's head coaching vacancy Tuesday, Jan. 4. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] The Jaguars are looking far and wide when it comes to a new head coach. They moved too quickly with Urban Meyer, and it was a spectacular disaster. Caldwell is a bit conservative as a coach, and we can't see how the veteran coach would be able to get the most out of 2021 no.1 overall pick QB Trevor Lawrence. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 6. [KC - RB Clyde Edwards-Helaire could play Week 18]( Source: The Kansas City Star - Sam McDowell Kansas City Chiefs RB [Clyde Edwards-Helaire](=) (shoulder) did not take part in practice Tuesday, Jan. 4, but head coach Andy Reid noted that Edwards-Helaire 'has a chance' to suit up against the Denver Broncos in Week 18. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] The game is on Saturday, so the Chiefs will not be resting their starters as they jockey for playoff position. With a win and a Titans loss on Sunday, the Chiefs will secure the no.1 seed in the AFC. Edwards-Helaire missed Week 17, but he could be out there in Week 18. If he misses another game, Darrel Williams will get the nod as the top back. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 7. [LAR - WR Warren Jackson joins LA Rams' practice squad]( Source: TheRams.com Free-agent WR Warren Jackson was signed to the practice squad of the Los Angeles Rams on Tuesday, Jan. 4. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Jackson is a big-bodied UDFA in 2021 out of Colorado State. He's bounced around to a few different teams already as a pro, and he's bounced on and off the Rams roster as a rookie. In crazy deep dynasty formats we'll keep an eye on him.
