Washington’s wide receiver Treylon Burks gets a boost ahead of Thursday Night Football vs. the New York Giants. After missing the Rams loss with a foot injury, Burks moves from non‑participant to limited practice on Tuesday, and a second limited session Wednesday could make him available for the game. The 26‑year‑old has 12 catches for 233 yards and two TDs this season, and with Terry McLaurin out injured, Burks could climb into the top three of the Commanders’ receiving corps. Washington also deals with injuries to center Lucas Patrick (concussion) and TE Colson Yankoff (knee) as they seek a third straight win and a Thursday night victory over the Giants.
The Indianapolis Colts, now shorthanded at wide receiver after trading Keenan Allen and Josh Downs, saw former franchise star Reggie Wayne humorously tweet about coming out of retirement. Wayne, second‑all‑time in Colts history with 1,070 catches, 14,345 yards and 82 TDs, joked about dusting off his “Reeboks” and wondered if a player‑coach role ever happened. With Alec Pierce on IR and the team struggling in a lost season, the joke highlights the Colts’ desperation, though Wayne, who turns 48 on Nov. 17, won’t suit up Sunday. The post originally ran on ClutchPoints on Nov. 11, 2026.

Mercer scored first and again late in the third, while Kyle Connor added two goals, including the empty‑net filler.

The Indianapolis Colts decide to keep RB Jonathan Taylor as the trade deadline passes, despite interest from five teams – the Broncos, Packers, Bengals, Vikings and Seahawks. Sources say offers ranged from a second‑round pick plus extras to a second‑ and fifth‑round combo, but the Colts hold firm on a first‑round price comparable to the package the 49ers paid for Christian McCaffrey. Taylor, 27, is in the final year of his $44 million extension, posting 610 rushing yards, four‑point‑one YPC and eight touchdowns in eight games this season. Colts hope to retain him for their rebuild.

Scheffer’s $9 million annual salary and a new multi‑year extension fuel speculation that he’s prioritizing tweet volume over concise reporting.
