Sunday, December 10, 12:14 PM

Chicago Bears wide receivers Velus Jones Jr. (illness) and Tyler Scott (hamstring) are officially active for Week 14 versus the Detroit Lions. They had been listed as questionable. Jones has been disappointing in his second pro season, amassing just three catches for nine yards. Meanwhile, Scott has 10 catches for 81 yards. Neither player belongs on the fantasy radar this Sunday.

Jonathan Mingo News

Panthers Place Jonathan Mingo On Injured Reserve

Tuesday, January 2, 7:16 PM

The Carolina Panthers placed rookie wide receiver Jonathan Mingo (foot) on Injured Reserve on Tuesday with a foot injury and signed veteran running back Mike Boone to their practice squad in a corresponding move. Mingo will now miss the final game of his rookie season in Week 18 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The 22-year-old second-rounder predictably had an inconsistent first year in the NFL while working with struggling first-round quarterback Bryce Young. In 15 games played, Mingo caught 43 of his 85 targets for 418 yards and no touchdowns. Mingo and Young will continue to work on their chemistry this offseason in hopes of connecting more often in 2024. With Mingo sidelined this weekend, Terrance Marshall Jr. should be active, while Ihmir Smith-Marsette and Mike Strachan should have bigger roles behind Adam Thielen and DJ Chark Jr.
