NFL Notes: 49ers, Bengals, Packers, Panthers, Raiders, & Seahawks

49ers

• With their loss to the Browns on Sunday, the 49ers have officially been eliminated from the playoffs. (Rich Eisen)

Bengals

• Reports have said that the Bengals could be without QB Andy Dalton for the remainder of the season, which would cost him a shot at his $5 million salary escalator for playing 80 percent of the team’s snaps. (Joel Corry)

Packers

Packers HC Mike McCarthy said he made the decision to take back play-calling duties from Tom Clements on Monday.

“Personally it didn’t feel good at all,” McCarthy said, per Rob Demovsky. “Professionally it was what I needed to do. It was an adjustment to our process.”

Panthers

• Panthers CB Bene Benwikere suffered a broken left leg during Sunday’s win over the Falcons will miss the remainder of the season.
• Carolina will likely place Benwikere on season-ending injured reserve on Monday.

Raiders

Seahawks
