#Jaguars WR D.J. Chark — listed as questionable (ankle) — is considered a game-time decision against the #Lions, per source. It doesn't sound as promising for DE/LB Josh Allen (knee), who didn?t practice Friday. But, final call on both players in the morning.

Barring a setback, #Broncos QB Drew Lock — listed as questionable (right shoulder) — will make his return and start against the #Patriots, per source.

This was expected. Lock wouldn?t have been ready if this game happened as scheduled last week. Now, he?s ready to roll.

#Browns QB Baker Mayfield — listed as questionable (chest) — will start against the #Steelers, per source.

WRs Odell Beckham Jr. (illness) and Jarvis Landry (hip/ribs) are good to go, too. Offense fully loaded in Pittsburgh.
