UNDATED (AP) — Adrian Peterson didn’t last very long with the Tennessee Titans, waived after just three games and replaced by the signing of running back Dontrell Hilliard from the practice squad. Peterson started two games and had 27 carries for 82 yards and a 3.0-yard average per rushing attempt and one touchdown run.
The Titans also signed defensive back Buster Skrine and outside linebacker John Simon while placing defensive back Chris Jackson and wide receiver Marcus Johnson on injured reserve.

— Bears head coach Mike Nagy spent half of his press conference on Tuesday dealing with a report saying he has been told he will no longer coach the team after Thursday’s game in Detroit. The report about the firing was published by Patch.com and was described by Nagy as “not accurate.” The Bears go into Thanksgiving on a five-game losing streak that leaves them 3-7.
— The Giants have fired offensive coordinator Jason Garrett after a dreadful performance in a nationally televised game against the Buccaneers. There was no immediate word on who would replace Garrett for the game Sunday at MetLife Stadium against the Eagles. Former Cleveland Browns coach Freddie Kitchens is on the staff and could take over.
—A person with direct knowledge of the decision says Zach Wilson will return as the Jets’ starting quarterback Sunday against the Texans in Houston. The No. 2 overall pick in April missed the past four games with a sprained posterior collateral ligament in his right knee.
— The Vikings have placed defensive tackle Dalvin Tomlinson on the COVID-19 reserve list.
