NFL inactives tracker Week 12: Justin Jefferson questionable, Kyren Williams off IR, 3 Chiefs playmakers out
It's Thanksgiving weekend, which means lots of early football and a new Black Friday game this year. The NFL kicked things off Thursday. Fans saw the Green Bay Packers take down the Detroit Lions; the Dallas Cowboys blow out the Washington Commanders; and the San Francisco 49ers top the Seattle Seahawks.
Friday afternoon featured the New York Jets' unsuccessful turn to Tim Boyle at quarterback as Zach Wilson was dropped to the third-string role. They took a 34-13 loss to the Miami Dolphins, who didn't have De'Von Achane as he deals with a knee injury. The running back missed four games before returning last week, but he exited the game after aggravating the injury.
Will this be the week Justin Jefferson returns for the Minnesota Vikings? The wide receiver is listed as questionable for the third straight week. He was limited at practice Thursday, but he has said he will be the one who makes the decision when he feels 100%. Oh, and he does not care about your fantasy team issues.
One receiver who is definitely not ready to return is Tee Higgins of the Cincinnati Bengals. He missed the last two games with a hamstring injury and will not play Sunday against the Pittsburgh Steelers, head coach Zac Taylor said.
The Los Angeles Rams had pegged wide receiver Cooper Kupp as "day-to-day" Monday after he suffered a lateral ankle sprain in Week 11. Kupp is active against the Arizona Cardinals in Week 12.
Here are the inactives for Week 12.
RAMS
The Rams officially activated running back Kyren Williams off injured reserve and he will play on Sunday vs. the Cardinals. Los Angeles reportedly designated the team leading rusher to return to practice on Wednesday.
