The NFL is back in Week 12 of the 2020 regular season and things are a bit messy. As a result of the Covid-19, the Ravens-Steelers were pushed back from Thanksgiving to Sunday and then again from Sunday to Tuesday. Meanwhile, he placed all of the Broncos ’quarterback on the Covid-19 injured reserve list.
Some major injury issues need to be resolved this week. Julio Jones probably won’t play, but we’re waiting for the final word. Kalen Ballage may not be playing, but Chargers is also expected to get Austin Ekeler back. Oh, and we’re looking forward to confirmation for the Broncos starting quarterback this week.
We keep an eye on relevant player news and figure out last minute roster decisions. Not only does that mean who doesn’t play this week, but also who does, but it may not be the best start on the fantastic football team of Week 12. We provide up-to-date information on injuries, key decisions with departure / meeting, and much more that starts by 1 p.m.
