Bills | Josh Allen not blaming knee injury for drop in scrambling production Thu Oct 8, 06:50 PM
Bills QB Josh Allen addressed speculation about a knee injury after Thursday's practice and is not blaming his recent lack of scrambling production on an injury. Allen has 13 carries for 22 yards combined over the last two games against the Chargers and Patriots, including five carries for four yards in Sunday's Week 4 loss to New England, and appeared to pass up clear scrambling opportunities in both games.
| Footballguys view: Speculation had swirled that Allen injured his knee in the fourth quarter of the Week 3 win over Los Angeles. In the first two games of the season, Allen ran 20 times for 92 yards and four touchdowns. We'll see if Allen can get back to his running ways in the near future. |

Bears | Kyle Monangai dealing with turf toe, availability uncertain for 1-2 weeks Thu Oct 8, 05:10 PM
Bears RB Kyle Monangai is dealing with a turf toe injury that places uncertainty around his availability over the next one to two weeks. Monangai is hoping to play through it, and the team and player are still managing the situation. He has missed practice on Wednesday and Thursday this week. Monangai ranks seventh in the NFL with 324 rushing yards.

Broncos | Sean Payton takes back play-calling from Davis Webb: 'I'll call the plays' Thu Oct 8, 04:34 PM
Broncos head coach Sean Payton confirmed on Thursday that he will take back offensive play-calling duties from offensive coordinator Davis Webb, whom he gave them to this offseason. "We'll make a change offensively. I'll call the plays," Payton said, citing a belief that "there's more there" offensively than Denver has shown through four weeks. Webb will remain involved in building game plans, but Payton will be the voice in QB Bo Nix's ear on gamedays, starting Sunday against the Chargers.
| Footballguys view: Payton didn't take long to wrestle back control of his offense. Nix has looked inconsistent (to say the least) and flat-out bad for most of this season. He's a talented quarterback, but the Broncos need better play from him if they're going to make another deep postseason run. We'll see if Payton can light a spark (again) in his young quarterback. |

Steelers | Rico Dowdle (toe) limited again in Thursday's practice Thu Oct 8, 04:32 PM
Steelers RB Rico Dowdle (toe) was limited in practice on Thursday. He was also limited on Wednesday after missing Week 4 with the injury. Pittsburgh hosts the Colts on Sunday.
| Footballguys view: Just a few days ago, Steelers HC Mike McCarthy said Dowdle is making progress in his attempt to return from a toe injury. That progress has him limited so far in two days of practice. If Dowdle is available in Week 5, we like him in the deep flex range against the Colts. |

Commanders | RB Kaytron Allen, a 2026 sixth-round pick by Washington, was released Thu Oct 8, 04:17 PM
Commanders RB Kaytron Allen, a 2026 sixth-round pick by Washington, was released.
| Footballguys view: Allen has been bothered by various injuries this year, but the rookie, two-down banger should be able to land on another roster. It's interesting that the Commanders gave up on him after a month of the regular season. We'll see where Allen lands in the near future. |

Saints | Chris Olave limited Thursday with a 'foot' injury Thu Oct 8, 04:16 PM
Saints WR Chris Olave was limited in practice on Thursday with a "foot" injury. Olave returned to practice after not practicing on Wednesday.
| Footballguys view: Olave was listed as a 'rest' day on Wednesday. Now, he's got a 'foot' problem that popped up. Make sure he's practicing on Friday before starting him as a WR1 against the Vikings in Week 5. |

Saints | RB Alvin Kamara (back) limited in Thursday's practice Thu Oct 8, 04:15 PM
Saints RB Alvin Kamara (back) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.
| Footballguys view: Kamara left Week 4's game with a knee injury that checked out. Now, he's been limited due to a back issue. The veteran back is up against the Vikings in Week 5, making him a flex option. |

Bears | D'Andre Swift limited Thursday after sitting out Wednesday Thu Oct 8, 03:31 PM
Bears RB D'Andre Swift (hip/knee) was limited in practice on Thursday after sitting out Wednesday's session.
| Footballguys view: The return to the field is a step forward for Swift ahead of Sunday's game at the Packers. Kyle Monangai is working through a turf toe injury, and his availability for the next couple of weeks may be uncertain. Swift should play, and we might see more Roschon Johnson if Monangai can't go against the Packers. |

Titans | Tony Pollard returns to practice Thursday ahead of Texans game Thu Oct 8, 03:31 PM
Titans RB Tony Pollard returned to practice on Thursday ahead of Sunday's game against the Texans. Pollard did not practice on Wednesday because of a foot injury.
| Footballguys view: Same as it ever was. Pollard has missed practices this year, but he suits up and plays through his various ailments. Ankle and now foot problems have bothered the veteran running back this year. Against the Texans on Sunday, we see Pollard as a low-end RB2/flex option. |

Bears | Kyle Monangai (thumb/toe) misses second straight practice Thu Oct 8, 03:22 PM
Bears RB Kyle Monangai (thumb/toe) did not practice on Thursday, his second straight absence. RB D'Andre Swift returned to practice in a limited capacity on the same day.
| Footballguys view: Reports suggest Monangai has a turf toe injury, placing uncertainty around his availability over the next 1-2 weeks. Turf toes are tricky injuries to deal with, and it's best to let them heal as much as possible. If Monangai has to miss time, Roschon Johnson might be in line for more work behind Swift. |

Seahawks | RB Zach Charbonnet (knee) limited in Thursday's practice Thu Oct 8, 03:15 PM
Seahawks RB Zach Charbonnet (knee) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.
| Footballguys view: Charbonnet is working his way back from the knee injury that cut his season short last year. He's been ruled out for Week 5, but a return in Week 6 is possible. He should have already been stashed off the waiver wire. |

Seahawks RB George Holani (ribs) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.
| Footballguys view: Holani is dealing with a ribs issue, and that always comes down to pain tolerance. He's expected to be out there against the 49ers in Week 5, and that makes him an RB4/deep flex option for Fantasy GMs in PPR leagues. |

Chargers | WR Ladd McConkey (foot) did not practice Thursday Thu Oct 8, 03:15 PM
Chargers WR Ladd McConkey (foot) did not participate in Thursday's practice.
| Footballguys view: The Chargers are at home to take on the Broncos in Week 5. They do have a bye coming up in Week 7, so McConkey might miss more time just to get closer to 100 percent if he misses Sunday's game. It's a reaggravation of his foot injury, so Jim Harbaugh considers McConkey day-to-day. |

Cardinals RB Jeremiyah Love (ankle) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.
| Footballguys view: Love is not 100 percent, but he's trending towards playing against the Lions on Sunday. We like him as an RB2/flex option for Fantasy GMs in PPR formats. Tyler Allgeier could give him a breather more often if the talented rookie back needs to be on a snap count. |

Eagles | Saquon Barkley (hamstring) not seen at Thursday practice Thu Oct 8, 02:02 PM
Eagles RB Saquon Barkley (hamstring) was not seen during the open portion of practice on Thursday. Barkley did not practice on Wednesday and was called 'week-to-week' with the hamstring injury on Monday. The Eagles play the Jaguars on Sunday.
| Footballguys view: Zero surprise here as Barkley is not expected in Week 5. Will Shipley and Dameon Pierce will split carries with Shipley likely being the lead back. We've got Shipley in the RB3/flex range for Fantasy GMs this week. |

Eagles | Dallas Goedert appears to practice for second straight day Thu Oct 8, 02:02 PM
Eagles TE Dallas Goedert appeared to be practicing on Thursday for a second straight day. Goedert was among six Eagles ruled out for the Week 4 game against the Rams.
| Footballguys view: The Eagles are getting thin when it comes to pass-catching options on offense, so getting Goedert back out there will help. DeVonta Smith (hamstring) and Hollywood Brown (ankle) are banged up. Plus, Dontayvion Wicks (hamstring) was added to the injury report on Thursday. |

Patriots | Rhamondre Stevenson (knee) heads out to Thursday practice in pads Thu Oct 8, 01:55 PM
Patriots RB Rhamondre Stevenson (knee), in shoulder pads and a practice jersey, left the locker room as players prepared for practice on Thursday, Mike Reiss reported. His level of participation will be known later in the day. Stevenson was limited in Wednesday's practice.
| Footballguys view: Stevenson was limited on Thursday, but it seems like he's on track to play against the Raiders in Week 5. Even though he's not 100 percent, if Stevenson plays we like him in the RB2/flex range for Fantasy GMs in PPR formats. |

Bills | No specific update on DJ Moore, but Brady says he'll try 'to be able to rock this week' Thu Oct 8, 01:47 PM
There was no specific update on Bills WR DJ Moore on Thursday. Head coach Joe Brady said Moore is "going to be able to do everything he can to be able to rock this week." Moore suffered a shoulder injury in Sunday's loss to the Patriots that was not believed to be a long-term issue. The Bills play at the Rams on Monday night.
| Footballguys view: The Bills play on Monday night against the Rams in what some are calling a Super Bowl preview. Moore has time to get right, even though he's missed the last two days of practice. Saturday is the big day, which should give us clues as to whether or not Moore is going to play. Stay tuned. |

Bengals | Tee Higgins working on rehab field Thursday Thu Oct 8, 01:43 PM
Bengals WR Tee Higgins was working on the rehab field during the open portion of practice on Thursday. Higgins (groin/neck) did not practice on Wednesday. The Bengals play at the Dolphins on Sunday.
| Footballguys view: Higgins has not practiced yet this week, but let's make sure to circle back on Friday to gauge his participation level. Ja'Marr Chase is practicing, but he's still in the NFL concussion protocol. While Chase may be closer to playing in Week 5 than originally thought, it seems like Higgins is on the wrong side of questionable. |

Giants WR Malik Nabers (knee) was participating in the open portion of practice on Thursday. Nabers did not practice on Wednesday, when he said his knee was "more sore than usual" and "we'll see" about his availability for Sunday.
| Footballguys view: Nabers was sore earlier in the week, but a limited participation on Thursday is a good sign. Up against the Commanders in Week 5, we've got Nabers in the WR2 range in terms of projections. |

Giants | Cam Skattebo out of non-contact jersey Thursday Thu Oct 8, 01:38 PM
Giants RB Cam Skattebo (shoulder) was out of the non-contact jersey at practice on Thursday. Skattebo was limited in a non-contact jersey on Wednesday.
| Footballguys view: He was limited on Thursday, but getting out of the non-contact jersey shows he's on track to play. Against the Commanders in Week 5, we like Skattebo as an RB2/flex option for Fantasy GMs in PPR formats. |
Cam Skattebo player page
Bengals | Ja'Marr Chase back at practice after concussion protocol Thu Oct 8, 01:36 PM
Bengals WR Ja'Marr Chase returned to practice on Thursday. Chase has been in the concussion protocol and did not practice on Wednesday.
| Footballguys view: He's not out of the woods just yet, but this is a step in the right direction for Chase. It seems like he could be on track to play against the Dolphins in Week 5, barring any setbacks. Chase is one of those elite-level players who we play if he suits up, even if he's not quite 100 percent. A full practice on Friday would make us feel more confident. Stay tuned. |
