Julio Jones was set up for a big day to take down the Chiefs, but suffered a toe injury in the first quarter and was really limited down the stretch of the game. Turf toe is no joke and it could certainly linger for some time, thus limiting Jones’ potential. Jones is likely to play Week 14, but just remember this injured toe when setting your lineup.
Depending on how practice goes this week, there's a real chance Browns QB Robert Griffin III starts Sunday against Cincinnati.

Just when you thought that the season was lost for the Cleveland Browns, the return of Robert Griffin III is a shining hope for the Browns hapless offense. RGIII was expected to bring big things to the offense after a solid preseason and could provide a late season spark. Receivers like Terrelle Pryor or Gary Barnidge might be excited about a little change of scenery under center if Griffin does end up playing this week.
Doug Pederson: DGB has an oblique contusion. Won't practice Wed but SHOULD be back for Sunday. Ryan Mathews and Jordan Matthews go to go.

The Eagles got some good news today with the return of Jordan Matthews and Ryan Mathews to the offense. Philadelphia really struggled to move the ball offensively and had such a bad time on their road trip to Cincinnati. A date with the Redskins isn’t great looking for Matthews with the threat of Josh Norman right across from him, but nonetheless the Eagles need both of these guys back to move the chains.
Quick Hits:
- Chiefs WR Jeremy Maclin is “optimistic” to play in Thursday night’s game against the Raiders
- LSU running back Leonard Fournette has declared for the NFL draft. Watch out defensive players, this beast is coming to the league
- Broncos QB Trevor Siemian is doing “a lot better” with his ailing foot right now, making it hopeful he plays Sunday
- Receiver Cecil Shorts suffered a dislocated knee, along with a torn ACL, MCL, and PCL, thus putting his career in jeopardy. Everybody now asks, “Shorts is still in the league?” along with “His career wasn’t already over to begin with?”
