Reinforcements could be on the way for the Pittsburgh Steelers as they prepare to face the AFC North-rival Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday.
Safety Minkah Fitzpatrick has been activated from the reserve/COVID-19 list, NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport reported.
Fitzpatrick landed on the COVID list after a positive test on Nov. 15. Earlier this week, Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin said he expected Fitzpatrick to be back for Sunday and this is a huge step in the right direction for that to happen.
Through nine games this season, Fitzpatrick, a two-time Pro Bowler, has 64 tackles.
Cooper Kupp topped 90 receiving yards for the ninth consecutive game, tying him with Hall of Famer Michael Irvin (1995 season) and Odell Beckham (2014) for the longest such streak in the last 70 seasons, per NFL Research.
With Monday night’s Rams win over the Cardinals, 2021 — the first 17-game campaign — is only the third season without a clinched postseason berth through Week 14 since the NFL moved to a 16-game season in 1978, per NFL Research. The other such years were 1993 and 2014.
Behind excellent nights from quarterback Matthew Stafford, wide receiver Cooper Kupp and the Aaron Donald-led defense, the Rams defeated Kyler Murray and the Cardinals, 30-23.
The official inactives for the Los Angeles Rams at Arizona Cardinals “Monday Night Football” game.
Thirty-six NFL Players — 25 on active rosters and 11 on practice squads — were placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list Monday as a result of positive tests. It is the largest number of additions to the list since its creation in 2020, NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero reports.
Bills head coach Sean McDermott said Monday that quarterback Josh Allen is dealing with a foot sprain and will be day to day going forward. NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport reported earlier Monday that Allen is also dealing with a mild case of turf toe.
John Harbaugh isn’t the most communicative coach when it comes to injuries. But he was willing to offer an update on Lamar Jackson — and Ravens fans everywhere can breathe a sigh of relief. The star QB does not have a high-ankle sprain and is expected to start versus the Packers in Week 15.
The Rams won’t have one of their best players when they take on the Cardinals on “Monday Night Football.” The team announced Monday that cornerback Jalen Ramsey has been placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list.
Joe Judge’s Giants are headed toward another disappointing result in 2021. But the coach expects things to next around next season. “I’m not interested in quick fixes,” Judge said Monday. “I want to do this the right way.”
Dolphins RB Phillip Lindsay is joining his backfield mates on the reserve/COVID-19 list, Tom Pelissero reports. Lindsay tested positive for COVID-19. Miami currently doesn’t have any running backs on the active roster.
Kareem Hunt’s recent return from injured reserve has encountered another interruption. The RB suffered an ankle injury in Cleveland’s 24-22 win over Baltimore on Sunday, and Browns coach Kevin Stefanski told reporters Monday the team does not expect Hunt to play in Saturday’s game against the Raiders.
Justin Herbert made it look easy again in the Chargers’ win over the Giants. As coach Brandon Staley reminded, that doesn’t mean what the second-year QB doing is normal. “What you’re witnessing is something special,” Staley said.
