NFL Notes: Bears, Dolphins, Falcons & Patriots

Bears

• Bears announced that OL Mike Adams did not travel with the team to Detroit, making him out for Week 14.

Falcons

• Adam Schefter reports that has spoken two separate Falcons’ officials Saturday evening and one thinks WR Julio Jones plays against the Rams tomorrow while the other one doesn’t.

Dolphins

• According to Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald, the Dolphins have $13 million in cap space to carry over into 2017, which would leave them between $36 million to $44 million.
• Jackson expects the Dolphins to cut DE Mario Williams ($8.5 million) and LB Koa Misi ($4.5 million) this offseason.
• Although Miami is “determined to find a solution” for C Mike Pouncey‘s hip injury, Jackson believes he will not be released since he would be owed $5 million if he’s cut.
• Jackson lists WR Jarvis Landry, LB Kiko Alonso, TE Dion Sims, and possibly WR Kenny Stills as potential extension targets for the Dolphins.
• Jackson does not think the team will re-sign impending free-agent LB Jelani Jackson and that he might require another knee procedure after the season.

Patriots

• Patriots ruled out WR Danny Amendola (ankle) from Week 14’s Monday night game.
• New England also listed S Jordan Richards (knee), TE Martellus Bennett (ankle/shoulder), LB Elandon Roberts (hamstring), CB Eric Rowe (hamstring), and ST/WR Matthew Slater (foot) as all questionable.
