NFL - NEWS & NOTES

His 'pot-o-gold' prowess may be ending... He hasnt come through, except for robbing bank accounts. I really doubt he can bilk someone next year after his showing this year.

 

Justin Fields returns to limited practice; DeShon Elliott, Donte Jackson full participants

Wide receiver George Pickens (hamstring) returned to a full practice Monday in the Steelers’ walk-through. He was one of 11 changes to the team’s practice report.

Only Ben Skowronek (hip) and cornerback Joey Porter Jr. (knee) remained the same as Sunday’s estimated report. Both remained non-participants.

Backup quarterback Justin Fields (abdominal) returned to limited work Monday after missing Sunday.

Safety DeShon Elliott (hamstring), cornerback Donte Jackson (back), linebacker Tyler Matakevich (knee) and defensive tackle Larry Ogunjobi (groin) had full participation Monday after being estimated as limited a day earlier.

It’s a good sign for all four players to play on Christmas Day.

The five players who took a veteran rest day Sunday were back to full work Monday.

Texans claim WR Diontae Johnson off waivers from Ravens

The Houston Texans, in need of receiving help after Tank Dell's season-ending knee injury, claimed wide receiver Diontae Johnson off waivers Monday.

Earlier Monday, the team announced that Dell suffered a torn ACL and dislocated kneecap in the Texans' 27-19 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs on Saturday.

The Los Angeles Chargers were the only other team to place a waiver claim on Johnson, a source told ESPN's Field Yates.

The Ravens waived Johnson on Friday, ending his drama-filled seven weeks with the team. The Ravens suspended him for one game after he refused to play in a Dec. 1 game against the Philadelphia Eagles and then he was excused from team activities last week.
