Sunday morning news and notes

Weather might be a factor in Cleveland

Sometimes the Sunday morning coverage can be kind of painful. There's no actual news, so reporters are forced to manufacture stories that are kind of obvious. Like Tony Romo wanting to play for a good team rather than a bad one next year!

Yes, when Romo is traded or otherwise moves on from Dallas in the offseason, he would supposedly like to play for Denver (as opposed to, you know, Cleveland).

As for as actual, relevant news, there isn't a lot.

  • It's cold and a little blustery in Cleveland. Might be a negative for both passing games. So if you had players who were close in your decision-making might be best to avoid. Doesn't mean anyone should sit down someone like Antonio Brown -- it's not terrible -- and a slot receiver like Eli Rogers should be fine, catching passes near the line of scrimmage. But maybe a negative for the Cleveland passing offense and guys like Corey Coleman who were already marginal choices.

  • Dez Bryant (back) is fine to play against Baltimore.

  • Justin Houston (knee) will return for Kansas City.

  • DeSean Jackson (shoulder) should play tonight for Washington.

  • Jared Cook (ankle) will play for Green Bay.

  • Tyrann Mathieu (shoulder) probably won't play for Arizona, helping the Vikings offense.

  • Torrey Smith (shoulder) is likely out, and shouldn't have been a major lineup consideration regardless.

Most of this, another other news (like Mike Pouncey being out for Miami), was known prior to this morning.
