Week 11 kicked off with a Super Bowl 51 rematch, albeit without the historic comeback or drama.
As for the 28 other teams scheduled to play this week, COVID-19 continues to strike down key players and other devastating injuries have Injured Reserves filling up fast.
As for the guys who are still on active rosters, here is what happened in practice this week and how it affects this weekend's action:

– It has been an abysmal year for Chase Young, but he will be out for the rest of the season after tearing his ACL against the Bucs on Sunday. The reigning Defensive Rookie of the Year has just 1.5 sacks and his 23 pressures rank fourth on his own team.
The Washington pass rush was already hurting with Montez Sweat sidelined by a broken jaw.
Casey Toohill and James Smith-Williams are the next two guys up on the depth chart. They each have just one sack on the season.

– The depleted Washington pass rush is welcome news for a Panthers team with three starting offensive linemen on the IR. Carolina ranks 27th in ESPN's pass-block win rate this season.
However, last week against Arizona, the Panthers allowed just one quarterback hit and four pressures with P.J. Walker and Cam Newton under center.

– The biggest absence in Detroit will be Jared Goff. As terrible as he has been this season, things will be worse with Tim Boyle under center against Cleveland.
Boyle threw one touchdown and 13 interceptions during his three years at UConn before transferring to Eastern Kentucky. He has completed three passes for 15 yards during his NFL career and accumulated an astonishing -16 rushing yards.

Baker Mayfield is also expected to play after sitting out the second half of the Browns' blowout loss at the hands of the Patriots last week. Cleveland set season-lows in points scored and yards gained in New England.

– With Zach Wilson expected to miss another game and Mike White turning back into a pumpkin last week, veteran Joe Flacco is expected to make the start at quarterback for New York.
Flacco spent 2020 with the Jets, but was with the Eagles until he was traded before the deadline a couple weeks ago. He completed all three of his attempts against Buffalo last week for 47 yards.
Last year, Flacco completed a career-low 55.2 percent of his pass attempts and averaged 6.4 yards per attempt in five starts for the Jets.

– Alvin Kamara will miss his second-straight game with a knee injury. Mark Ingram will start again after getting 18 touches last week against the Titans.
Ingram is averaging just four yards per carry in his three games since rejoining the Saints, but he's been an effective receiver, catching 11 of his 14 targets for 107 yards.
– The Saints will play on Sunday with both of their starting tackles on the bench. Terron Armstead is out for the second-straight week and Ryan Ramczyk is out for just the second time in his five-year NFL career.
James Hurst will keep playing at left tackle while rookie Landon Young will get his first career start at right tackle. Young was a sixth-round pick out of Kentucky in April's draft.

– Derek Barnett is still expected to play after missing Friday's practice with a neck injury. His status is still worth monitoring as the Eagles defensive front is very thin, especially since Brandon Graham's season-ending injury.
– Running back Miles Sanders is eligible to come off the IR this week, but Nick Sirianni didn't commit to his availability this week. The head coach did tell reporters Sanders will be the starting running back whenever he returns.
Since he went down with an ankle injury, the Eagles have boasted the NFL's top rushing attack, averaging over 200 yards per game in their last three contests.

– Darius Leonard is the only Colt to carry a label into the weekend. He's been dealing with an ankle injury most of the year, but it flared up last week against Jacksonville.
– As for Xavier Rhodes, he is expected to play for the first time since Week 9, but there may not be a starting spot for him. Isaiah Rodgers and Rock Ya-Sin will be the starters after impressive showings the past few weeks.
Rhodes will rotate into the game at some point, according to Frank Reich. The veteran is allowed 11.2 yards per target and a passer rating of 122.7 this season.

– Brandon Williams will miss his third-straight game due to a shoulder injury. Veteran Justin Ellis has been starting at nose tackle, but is struggling, earning a putrid 45.5 defensive grade from Pro Football Focus.
– Elsewhere, Marquise Brown participated in Friday's practice, which is a good sign as he deals with a thigh injury. Brown did miss a substantial amount of time in training camp due to a hamstring injury, but it's unclear if this injury is related.
The good news is Rashod Bateman was back at practice on Friday and will play after experiencing illness on Thursday.

– The Bears lost both Khalil Mack and Danny Trevathan for the year to foot and knee injuries, respectively. The Bears pass rush has struggled in its two games without Mack, earning zero sacks and 14 total pressures.
Chicago did sign Bruce Irvin to their practice squad this week, so he could see some action at some point this season. For now, expect more snaps for Cassius Marsh and Alec Ogletree at linebacker.

– Stop me if you've heard this one before, but the 49ers backfield is in shambles again. Neither JaMychal Hasty nor Elijah Mitchell are expected to play this week.
That leaves Jeff Wilson and Trey Sermon as the two healthy backs for the 49ers. Sermon has zero carries since Week 5, but did pick up 89 yards on 19 carries against Seattle this year.
Wilson had 28 yards on 10 carries last week against the Rams.

– The Packers pass rush will rely on Preston Smith and Rashan Gary on the edges with Whitney Mercilus joining Za'Darius Smith on the IR this week.
Gary actually leads Green Bay in sacks and pressures this year. Smith is third in both categories, behind Gary and Kenny Clark.
– Aaron Jones is also out after injuring his MCL last week against the Seahawks. A.J. Dillon will be the lead back after scoring a pair of touchdowns in Week 10. He's averaged 4.3 yards per carry this season.

Patrick Peterson was also designate to return from the IR this week, but he remains off the 53-man roster as of right now. He still has an outside shot of starting this week, depending on how he feels after a week of practice.

– The Titans continue to be the NFL's most-injured team with eight players already ruled out for Sunday. No Jeremy McNichols means a larger workload for D'Onta Foreman who led the team with 11 carries last week.
– Geoff Swaim's absence means MyCole Pruitt will start at tight end. Pruitt has already set career-highs in catches (11), receiving yards (129) and touchdowns (3).
– Defensively, the Titans are down three starting linebackers with David Long Jr., Rashaan Evans and Bud Dupree all out. Veteran Jayon Brown and rookie Monty Rice will start in the middle for the second-straight week.

– The Cardinals quarterback situation remains in a state of flux with Kyler Murray listed as a game-time decision and Colt McCoy ever more ambiguously considered “getting there.”
When McCoy got injured last week, it seemed like he wasn't in danger of missing any time, so he'd still be the favorite to start this week, but Chris Streveler is the third-stringer.
Streveler is a former CFL backup who ran for over 1100 yards and 22 touchdowns in his time up north. He threw 19 TDs and 19 interceptions as well.

Rashaad Penny hasn't been any better, averaging just 1.6 yards per carry this season.

– Amari Cooper will be out on Sunday and on Thanksgiving after being added to the reserve/COVID-19 list on Friday. The wide receiver will be replaced by Michael Gallup in the starting lineup, although Cedrick Wilson has been a solid deep threat for the Cowboys.
Among teams who have already played 10 games, the Chiefs have allowed the second-least amount of completions to opposing wide receivers, but the sixth-most touchdowns.

– With Mike Remmers on the IR and Lucas Niang ruled out, it will be up to Andrew Wylie to make his second-straight start at right tackle. Wylie spent most of his career as a guard and just converted to tackle this season.
He has allowed 11 pressures in his 82 pass-blocking snaps this season. With the Cowboys missing Randy Gregory, Micah Parsons could get a lot of looks opposite Wylie.

– T.J. Watt being ruled out wasn't a surprise after his scary injury last week. However, it will be up to Derrek Tuszka and Taco Charlton to fill his shoes on the edge.
Tsuzka has just one quarterback pressure on 31 attempts and Charlton is still looking for his first after 20 pass rushes this season. The Steelers did have Melvin Ingram III earlier this season, but he was traded two weeks ago to Kansas City for a sixth-round draft pick.
– No Kevin Dotson at left guard means J.C. Hassenauer will get his first start of the season after playing just 12 snaps prior to last week.
The second-year undrafted free agent from Alabama did make four starts during his rookie campaign, three of which came at left guard. He has never allowed a sack in 256 pass-blocking snaps.
