ARI: Zach Ertz done in Arizona [Source: ESPN - Adam Schefter]( Arizona Cardinals TE Zach Ertz was waived on Thursday, Nov. 30. Our view: The veteran tight end had been on Injured Reserve for over a month with the Cardinals. Ertz caught 27 passes for 187 yards and one touchdown this season, and now he's free to sign anywhere if he passes through waivers. No longer the player he used to be, there should be some interest in Ertz for contenders who want a veteran presence at the position. [Back to Top](#top) [] 2. JAX: Travis Etienne day to day [Source: Jacksonville.com - Demetrius Harvey](=) Jacksonville Jaguars RB Travis Etienne (chest) is day to day with a chest injury, but he'll be at practice Thursday, Nov. 30. Our view: Get D'Ernest Johnson if he's out there on the waiver wire just in case Etienne can't play in Week 13. The Jaguars are playing on Monday night against the Bengals, so Saturday is when we need to see Etienne out there. [Back to Top](#top) =

â [] 3. NO: Rashid Shaheed remains sidelined [Source: NewOrleansSaints.com]() New Orleans Saints WR Rashid Shaheed (thigh) did not participate in practice Thursday, Nov. 30. Our view: Not great. Let's see if we get additional information from Friday. [Back to Top](#top) [] 4. PHI: DeVonta Smith upgraded Thursday [Source: PhiladelphiaEagles.com]( Philadelphia Eagles WR DeVonta Smith (knee) practiced in full on Thursday, Nov. 30, after being limited the day before. Our view: Great news for Smith and this offense. [Back to Top](#top) [] 5. ARI: Trey McBride a no-go again on Thursday [Source: ESPN.com - Josh Weinfuss]( Arizona Cardinals TE Trey McBride (groin) did not practice for a second consecutive day on Thursday, Nov. 30. Our view: McBride is a TE1 against the Steelers in Week 13...if he's out there. Two missed practices aren't a great sign for his playing status on Sunday. As always, Friday will be the tell. [Back to Top](#top) [] 6. LAC: Joshua Palmer could play again in 2023 [Source: The Athletic - Daniel Popper](=) Los Angeles Chargers WR Joshua Palmer (knee) has a chance to rejoin the active roster before the end of the 2023 season, according to head coach Brandon Staley. Palmer is currently on the Reserve/Injured list. Our view: Palmer is eligible to return in Week 13, but there is no clarity as to exactly when he could be back on the field for the Chargers. They need all the help they can get as rookie first-round WR Quentin Johnston continues to struggle and is banged up himself. [Back to Top](#top) [] 7. NO: Chris Olave practices again on Thursday [Source: NewOrleans.Football - Mike Triplett]() New Orleans Saints WR Chris Olave (concussion) was limited in practice again on Thursday, Nov. 30. Our view: Olave must clear the concussion protocol before he can play. He's gotten two days of limited practice in this week, so he seems to be on the right track.

GB: Another DNP for Aaron Jones, Jayden Reed [Source: ESPN.com - Rob Demovsky](=) Green Bay Packers RB Aaron Jones (knee) and WR Jayden Reed (chest) did not practice for a second straight day on Thursday, Nov. 30. Our view: Jones is unlikely to play in Week 13. That means AJ Dillon will be the lead back once again for the Packers. Reed can make plays in the passing game, but this chest injury has us concerned about his playing status. Let's see if he can practice on Friday. [Back to Top](#top) [] 9. LAC: Keenan Allen held out of practice again [Source: The Athletic - Daniel Popper]( Los Angeles Chargers WR Keenan Allen (quad) did not practice for a second straight day on Thursday, Nov. 30. Our view: Allen is a seasoned veteran who doesn't need to be out there every day in order to play on Sunday. If he practices on Friday, consider him good to go (as his usual WR1) for Week 13 as the Chargers take on the Patriots. [Back to Top](#top) [] 10. HOU: Dalton Schultz absent from practice again [Source: KPRC.com - Aaron Wilson]( Houston Texans TE Dalton Schultz (hamstring) did not practice for a second straight day on Thursday, Nov. 30. Our view: The Texans have a big game against the Broncos on Sunday. If Schultz can't play, the Texans can turn to Brevin Jordon. He's a talented and athletic player who has been a bit banged up in his career and has been waiting for his opportunity. [Back to Top](#top) [] 11. PIT: Diontae Johnson does not practice on Thursday [Source: Pittsburgh Tribune-Review - Joe Rutter]( Pittsburgh Steelers WR Diontae Johnson (illness) did not practice on Thursday, Nov. 30. Our view: We're excited about the Steelers' offense now that they've moved on from OC Matt Canada, and last week there were glimpses of what they could be on that side of the ball. So long as this is not serious, Johnson as WR2 upside if he plays against the Cardinals in Week 13. [Back to Top](#top) [] 12. JAX: Travis Etienne absent from practice on Thursday [Source: ESPN.com - Michael DiRocco](=) Jacksonville Jaguars RB Travis Etienne (chest) was not spotted on the field during the portion of practice open to the media on Thursday, Nov. 30. Our view: Get D'Ernest Johnson if he's out there on the waiver wire just in case Etienne can't play in Week 13. The Jaguars are playing on Monday night against the Bengals, so Saturday is when we need to see Etienne out there. [Back to Top](#top) That'll do it for today, Folks.
