Week 12 of the NFL season is just about complete, and while several of the league’s top teams picked up big wins on Sunday — the Chiefs, Eagles, Lions, Packers and Vikings all kept winning — there were some big losses on the injury front on Sunday. Two key veteran members of the Philadelphia defense left the Eagles’ 37-20 Sunday Night Football win — also known as The Saquon Barkley Show— with one of them saying he’s done for the year. Also, the Las Vegas Raiders will need some help in their quarterback room after their starting QB was lost for the remainder of the season.
Brandon Graham out for the year with torn tricep, Darius Slay exits with concussion
The 14-year veteran defensive end was having a great game against the Rams when he exited after having moved into third place on the Eagles’ all-time sack list. After the game he said he’d been dealing with some tendonitis in his left triceps, and confirmed the tear. He’ll miss the rest of the season — one that could be his last, after signing a one-year, $4 million contract this past offseason. He’s one of just three players on the team, alongside tackle Lane Johnson and kicker Jake Elliott, who won Super Bowl LII at the end of the 2017 season.
Gardner Minshew to miss the rest of the season with broken collarbone
The Raiders’ signal caller suffered the injury in the fourth quarter of the team’s 29-19 loss to the Broncos. He finishes the season with 2,013 passing yards and nine touchdown passes with 10 interceptions in 10 games played. Desmond Ridder finished the game in his place. The Raiders have a short week and take on the Chiefs on Black Friday, and could welcome back Aidan O’Connell — he’s been on IR since October with a fractured thumb, and could be activated this week.
Trevor Lawrence back at practice after missing two games with shoulder injury
Jaguars QBTrevor Lawrence will practice today with the left shoulder injury that prevented him from playing the team’s past two games, and then Jacksonville will see if he’s well enough to play Sunday vs. the Texans.
Tommy DeVito to start Thursday vs. Cowboys ‘if healthy’
Tommy DeVito doesn’t appear to have an injury, though he did leave the Giants’ Sunday loss to the Bucs for one play near the end of the game. DeVito said he just had the wind knocked out of him.
Head coach Brian Daboll said Monday that he hadn’t talked to the trainers yet, but DeVito would start Thursday “if healthy.”
Tommy DeVito said he had the wind knocked out of him on the play in the end zone when he was forced to leave the game for a play.
Brian Daboll said DeVito would start again Thursday against the Cowboys if he was healthy.
#Giants coach Brian Daboll says he’s “hopeful” QB Tommy DeVito will be able to play against the #Cowboys Thursday. Says he hasn’t spoken to the training staff this morning but anticipates DeVito will be ready to go. FWIW I’m told DeVito has told others he’s good to go.
The Giants are getting their lunch money taken by the New York media
The Giants were awful yesterday, and the New York media took no prisoners with their Monday morning covers and back pages. “Baked Cutlets” is 100% hilarious.
Dave Canales still won’t commit to Bryce Young long term
After the Panthers’ excellent showing against the Chiefs in a 30-27 loss on Sunday, head coach Dave Canales was asked whether he’ll take the week-to-week label off starting QB Bryce Young.
Canales didn’t say no, but he also didn’t say yes. He did at least commit to starting Young against the Buccaneers in Week 13.
Bucs S Jordan Whitehead may. have torn his pec vs. Giants

#Bucs S Jordan Whitehead is feared to have torn his pec, an injury that would end his season, sources say. He’s getting an MRI to confirm the diagnosis.
