Bears at Lions (-9.5) — Thursday

The Bears are relatively healthy heading into the Thanksgiving showdown with the Lions. Their only two players listed on the injury report were ruled out. The Lions will be without two huge pieces on Thanksgiving: cornerback Carlton Davis III (knee/thumb) and left tackle Taylor Decker (knee). Two of Detroit’s top playmakers, running back David Montgomery (shoulder) and wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown (knee), are trending toward playing on Thursday. Both didn’t practice on Monday, were limited on Tuesday and fully participated on Wednesday. 

Giants at Cowboys (-3.5) — Thursday

  • Giants: OL Jermaine Eluemunor (quad), OLB Azeez Ojulari (toe), DL Armon Watts (shoulder) OUT; CB Deonte Banks (rib), QB Tommy DeVito (right forearm) QUESTIONABLE
  • Cowboys: TE Jake Ferguson (concussion), RG Zack Martin (ankle/shoulder) OUT; DE Marshawn Kneeland (knee) DOUBTFUL; CB Trevon Diggs (groin/knee), LB Eric Kendricks (groin/shoulder), LB Nick Vigil (foot) QUESTIONABLE 

DeVito did not travel with the Giants, so he’s unlikely to play this week. If DeVito can’t go, Drew Lock will get the start. DeVito also did not practice on Wednesday. 

Kendricks didn’t practice all week, so it’s unlikely he suits up on Thursday. Diggs feels unlikely to play after not traveling with the team to Washington in Week 12 and participating in limited fashion in practice on Wednesday. 

Dolphins at Packers (-3.5) — Thursday

Armstead was upgraded to limited for the Dolphins, so there’s a chance he could play against the Packers on Thanksgiving. Wide receiver Tyreek Hill (wrist) and cornerback Jalen Ramsey (knees) were not given injury designations, so they will play. 

The Packers had Myers as a full participant in Wednesday’s practice, which was a walkthrough (even though he is questionable). Tackle Rasheed Walker (knee) was not given an injury designation. 

Raiders at Chiefs (-12.5) — Friday 

The Raiders were relatively healthy on Wednesday with only four player not practicing: quarterback Gardner Minshew (collarbone), running back Zamir White (quadricep), cornerback Nate Hobbs (ankle) and cornerback Jakorian Bennett (shoulder). Only two players were limited participants: running back Alexander Mattison (ankle) and wide receiver Tre Tucker (hip). 

Only three Chiefs didn’t practice fully on Wednesday: kicker Spencer Shrader (right hamstring), linebacker Cam Jones (illness) and linebacker Leo Chenal (personal).

Dobbins will reportedly miss Week 13 in Atlanta after suffering a knee injury on Monday against the Baltimore Ravens.
