Patriots | Mack Hollins (calf) lone injury of concern, Chism in line for 'extended reps' Tue Oct 6, 07:18 AM
Patriots WR Mack Hollins, who suffered a non-contact calf injury in the third quarter of Sunday's 29-26 win over the Bills and never returned, was the only player unable to finish the game whose status is now in question, which head coach Mike Vrabel also said on Monday.
| Footballguys view: If Hollins is limited or unavailable this week, second-year WR Efton Chism is expected to see extended reps in practice and on game day against the Raiders; Chism had two big catches on the game-winning drive against Buffalo, including a 23-yard touchdown. We'll continue to watch for more. |

Early indications are that Eagles WR DeVonta Smith (hamstring) will miss more than one game, and it seems more likely he won't be able to play against the Jaguars in London in Week 5.
| Footballguys view: With Smith out last Sunday, Darius Cooper was the prime beneficiary. He outsnapped rookie WR Makai Lemon as the team's WR2 in Sunday's 24-20 loss to the Rams, turning a team-high seven targets into three catches for 33 yards and two touchdowns while also playing a significant special teams role. Dontayvion Wicks played the most snaps of any Eagles receiver but ranked third in targets with five. Expect this pecking order to remain in place if Smith is out again in London. |

Eagles RB Saquon Barkley is considered "week-to-week" with the hamstring injury he suffered in the first quarter of Sunday's loss to the Rams, NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reported.
| Footballguys view: Head coach Nick Sirianni said Monday, "We'll see," when asked about Barkley's availability for Sunday's game against the Jaguars in London, adding the team would "have more answers for you probably Wednesday." With Tank Bigsby undergoing core muscle surgery and heading to injured reserve, Will Shipley, who rushed six times for 23 yards against the Rams, is the only healthy running back on the active roster. Jaydon Blue, Dameon Pierce, and Carson Steele are on the practice squad. |

Cowboys WR CeeDee Lamb (thigh) was listed as a full participant in Monday's walk-through estimation.
| Footballguys view: The Cowboys host the Buccaneers on Thursday. Lamb caught 17 passes for 189 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's win over the Texans. |

Commanders head coach Dan Quinn said on Monday that the goal is for QB Jayden Daniels to "have a full week of practice, full week, and start on Sunday" against the Giants.
| Footballguys view: Daniels and RB Rachaad White are expected to return to practice this week. WR Terry McLaurin (hamstring), held out of Sunday's loss to the Colts, is still being evaluated, and Quinn said he will "give you a better update for him for Wednesday." QB Marcus Mariota sprained the same MCL he injured in training camp and has no exact timetable, while WR Jaylin Lane fractured and dislocated his ankle and "will be out for the year." |

Chargers WR Ladd McConkey, who has already played through a cracked rib this season, is day-to-day with a foot injury, head coach Jim Harbaugh said on Monday.
| Footballguys view: In addition, S Derwin James Jr. (hamstring) is week-to-week but is expected to stay off injured reserve, and CB Donte Jackson (hamstring) is also week-to-week. Tackle Rashawn Slater sustained a high ankle sprain in Sunday's loss to the Seahawks and is a candidate for IR, while tackle Joe Alt (neck) is still being evaluated but is less likely to be placed on IR. Harbaugh said WR Brenen Thompson (quad), TE Charlie Kolar, guard Kayode Awosika (fibula) and DT Dalvin Tomlinson (hamstring) are "all making good progress." The Chargers play the Broncos in Week 5. |

New Orleans Saints WR Chris Olave caught 8 passes for 116 yards on 12 targets in Monday's 45-24 loss to the Atlanta Falcons. He was projected for 17.1 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 15.6.

The Seahawks are signing Joe Mixon after Monday's workout, a source tells NFL Network's Mike Garafolo.
| Footballguys view: The two-time Pro Bowl running back hasn't played since Jan. 2025. But Mixon, who missed all of last season with a mysterious foot injury, ran for more than 1,000 yards in five of his first eight NFL seasons with the Bengals and the Texans. The Seahawks are in the market for another running back with rookie first-round pick Jadarian Price on injured reserve and Zach Charbonnet still not ready to return following January ACL surgery. We'll be watching for more. |
49ers RB Kyle Juszczyk (hyperextended knee/knee bruise) might miss a few weeks, per the team's Monday injury update, after he was hurt in the fourth quarter of Sunday's win over the Broncos.

Eagles RB Tank Bigsby suffered an injury on Sunday and now requires core muscle surgery to repair it, sources say. Bigsby is headed to injured reserve, with hopes he's back in six weeks or less.
| Footballguys view: With Bigsby out and Saquon Barkley uncertain due to a hamstring injury that sidelined him in the first quarter of Sunday's loss to the Rams, Will Shipley could be very busy when the Eagles take on the Jaguars in London this week. |

Lions S Brian Branch (Achilles) has a good chance to return to practice this week, head coach Dan Campbell told reporters on Monday.

Rams head coach Sean McVay said Monday that the "hope" is that DT Aaron Donald will play in the Rams' Week 5 game against the Bills.
| Footballguys view: Donald missed Sunday's Week 4 game at the Eagles with a back injury after missing practice during the week. |
Aaron Donald player page
Packers RB Chris Brooks is still having his injured ankle evaluated, head coach Matt LaFleur said on Monday, leaving his status open-ended.
| Footballguys view: This situation is worth watching, as Brooks was out-snapping MarShawn Lloyd and Kaleb Johnson through four weeks before he was hurt against the Buccaneers. If Brooks is out, look for Green Bay to elevate running back Pierre Strong Jr. from the practice squad. |
Brandon Cisse player page
Packers DE Micah Parsons will not return to practice this week, head coach Matt LaFleur said on Monday.
| Footballguys view: Parsons has not yet been cleared to practice as he recovers from a torn ACL. He has had no setbacks in his recovery, but it could be November before he is ready to play. |

The Cowboys opened the 21-day practice window for All-Pro G Tyler Smith (thumb) on Monday, and head coach Brian Schottenheimer said the "hope" is that Smith can practice on Tuesday.
| Footballguys view: Smith underwent surgery to repair a damaged ligament in his thumb just ahead of the season. The Cowboys have until Oct. 26 to activate Smith to the 53-man roster. |
Micah Parsons player page
Bears RB Kyle Monangai's thumb injury is more of a day-to-day issue, and he should be OK, head coach Ben Johnson said on Monday.
| Footballguys view: Monangai suffered the injury in Sunday's win over the Jets, when he ran for 146 yards and two touchdowns. The running back told reporters after Sunday's game that he would have further testing today, so Johnson's answer has likely been informed by those tests. We'll continue to follow up. |

Chiefs WR Tyquan Thornton is expected to miss 12-16 weeks after dislocating his ankle in Sunday's win over the Raiders, NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reported on Monday.
| Footballguys view: Thornton will undergo surgery within the week and has a real chance at a late-season or postseason return, Rapoport added. Thornton caught five passes for 111 yards and two touchdowns against the Raiders before leaving with the injury. The Chiefs appear to be interested in adding Tyreek Hill to their roster, but there's nothing concrete on that. For now, Jalen Royals and Cyrus Allen will play larger roles behind Rashee Rice, who's dealing with a hamstring injury, and Xavier Worthy. |
Tyquan Thornton player page
Free-agent WR Tyreek Hill's agent, Drew Rosenhaus, plans to begin negotiating a deal for his client on Monday with multiple teams, including the Chiefs, ESPN's Adam Schefter reported.
| Footballguys view: Rosenhaus has indicated Hill, who is recovering from a dislocated knee and torn ligaments including his ACL suffered in September 2025, could be ready to play in November. The Chiefs were interested in Hill even before WR Tyquan Thornton dislocated his ankle and WR Rashee Rice injured his hamstring on Sunday, and the team reached out to Rosenhaus after those injuries, The Athletic's Michael Silver reported. Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes said "it'd be pretty cool" if Hill returned, and TE Travis Kelce said, "I'd love to have 'The Cheetah' back in this building." Stay tuned. |

Buccaneers head coach Todd Bowles said the team needs to get RB Sean Tucker more involved after his two-yard touchdown run and fourth-down conversion in Sunday's 17-14 loss to the Packers. "He needs to earn a few reps. I mean, we've got to find a way to split the three backs kind of... it doesn't have to be equally, but, you know, a hot hand should be able to ride a little bit longer," Bowles said.
| Footballguys view: RB Bucky Irving started, led the team with 61 rushing yards and played 37 of 63 offensive snaps, while RB Kenny Gainwell played 27 snaps with three handoffs and caught a touchdown pass, and Tucker played three snaps, carrying three times for 10 yards. Irving is likely to remain the lead back as long as he's healthy, but it sounds like a shift in approach is coming. |

Bengals coach Zac Taylor confirmed Ja'Marr Chase is in concussion protocol, and they'll take him day to day.
| Footballguys view: The race for Chase to get cleared for the Bengals' Week 5 matchup with the Dolphins starts now. This is not a matchup that fantasy owners want to be without their star wideout, as the Dolphins' secondary has struggled this year. We'll be following Chase's progress all week. |

Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson had to exit Sunday's win over the Titans with an ankle injury. Will he be on the field for the Week 5 matchup with the Falcons? "I don't know the chances yet," head coach Jesse Minter said in his Monday press conference. "We're still gathering a lot of the information, imaging, things like that. We'll see where that shakes out."
| Footballguys view: The Ravens may still be gathering information. But if Jackson is going to miss time, it sounds like it won't be much. "I really don't think it's going to be crazy long term," Minter said. "But we'll see what happens." The Ravens' first injury report of the week will be released on Wednesday. Tyler Huntley will get the start against the Falcons if Jackson can't go. |

Bengals WR Tee Higgins (adductor) is considered day to day, head coach Zac Taylor said on Monday. Higgins exited late in Sunday's loss to the Jaguars with the injury.
| Footballguys view: As SI.com noted, adductor injuries are tricky, as are most soft-tissue injuries, so we will have to wait and see how this week goes because we don't know the severity of the injury. Higgins had a monster day with Ja'Marr Chase going down early on Sunday, catching 11 of 16 targets for 157 yards. Higgins often explodes when Chase, who is in the concussion protocol, is out. We'll be following this one closely all week. |

Eagles WR Darius Cooper outsnapped rookie WR Makai Lemon as the team's WR2 in Sunday's 24-20 loss to the Rams, turning a team-high seven targets into three catches for 33 yards and two touchdowns while also playing a significant special teams role.
| Footballguys view: With DeVonta Smith sidelined by a hamstring injury, Lemon saw six targets and caught three passes for 27 yards, with all three receptions coming on the Eagles' third drive and no touches after that. WR Dontayvion Wicks played the most snaps of any Eagles receiver but ranked third in targets with five. Remember, Smith could miss another game -- and possibly more -- with his injury. |

Broncos CB Pat Surtain II suffered a short-term ankle injury in Sunday's loss to the 49ers, NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reported.
| Footballguys view: Surtain is "week-to-week," and one source believes he will be sidelined for about two weeks, ESPN's Jeremy Fowler reported. CB Jahdae Barron came in for Surtain on Sunday, and it remains to be seen whether either injured player will be placed on short-term injured reserve |

Buccaneers S Antoine Winfield Jr. has a fractured rib that will keep him out for 2-to-4 weeks, head coach Todd Bowles said on Monday.
| Footballguys view: Winfield, a Pro Bowler last season, has 24 total tackles and one QB hit this season. Bowles also said LB SirVocea Dennis is still undergoing tests on his ankle injury to determine its severity. Tampa Bay visits the Cowboys on Thursday night in Week 5. |

Texans head coach DeMeco Ryans said on Monday that he expects to open the 21-day practice window for WR Tank Dell.
| Footballguys view: Dell has not played since suffering a severe knee injury in December 2024, which cost him the rest of that season and all of 2025, and he had a setback in training camp this year. Before the injury, Dell had 98 catches for 1,376 yards and 10 touchdowns in his first 25 career games. Put this on your watch list. We're not overly optimistic about Dell, but Houston's passing attack is productive enough to make him interesting if/when he returns to action. |

Seahawks RB Emanuel Wilson played 60 percent of the offensive snaps in Sunday's 30-23 win over the Chargers, with RB George Holani at 37 percent while rookie RB Jadarian Price was out.
| Footballguys view: Wilson turned his work into 21 carries for 81 yards and a touchdown, plus three receptions for 39 yards and a receiving touchdown. While the Seahawks are visiting with free-agent RB Joe Mixon, with Price out at least three more weeks on IR, and Zach Charbonnet practicing but not activated, Wilson could have another solid role in Week 5 -- and perhaps beyond. |

The Indianapolis Colts are among the teams that have called the Arizona Cardinals about the trade availability of Cardinals WR Marvin Harrison Jr., ESPN's Adam Schefter said on 'The Pat McAfee Show.'
| Footballguys view: The NFL trade deadline is Tuesday, November 10. Harrison Jr., the No. 4 overall pick in 2024, has 5 receptions for 85 yards through Arizona's first four games, including his first touchdown catch of the season in Week 4. The Colts have WR Alec Pierce on injured reserve, and WR Keenan Allen missed Sunday's game with a hamstring injury. |
Marvin Harrison Jr. player page
Cardinals RB Tyler Allgeier out-snapped rookie RB Jeremiyah Love 36-30 in Sunday's loss to the Giants, and head coach Mike LaFleur said Allgeier was on the field for the final drive mostly because of his pass protection.
| Footballguys view: Love still led the team with 14 carries for 63 yards, while Allgeier ran 8 times for 42 yards, but Love played just 11 second-half snaps and had two red-zone snaps to Allgeier's 10. As Footballguy Sigmund Bloom noted, the Cardinals drafted Love to be the lead back. It's heading in that direction, and even if the rushing workload isn't as dominant as we'd like at this point, his receiving role will help smooth out the overall production. But there will be some week-to-week variance for Love and Allgeier in coming weeks. |

Packers LB Edgerrin Cooper's season is over after further tests confirmed he tore his Achilles in Sunday's 17-14 win over the Buccaneers, according to multiple reports on Monday.
| Footballguys view: Cooper had nine tackles, an interception and a sack before the injury knocked him out, after posting 21 tackles and two sacks in the first three weeks of the season. The Packers' defense is also still waiting for DE Micah Parsons to make his 2026 debut. |
Edgerrin Cooper player page
Seahawks RB Zach Charbonnet (knee) won't play in Week 5 against the 49ers, head coach Mike Macdonald said on Monday.
| Footballguys view: Charbonnet was designated to return from the physically unable to perform list last week and began practicing on Thursday. The team has until Oct. 22 to activate him. Meanwhile, FOX Sports insider Jay Glazer reported on Sunday that the Seahawks were planning to visit with free-agent RB Joe Mixon. Remember, Jadarian Price was placed on IR over the weekend. He's out at least four weeks. Emanuel Wilson worked as lead back against the Chargers and was effective in that role. Expect the former Packer to continue to get the bulk of the work until we get resolution on Charbonnet. |

The Seahawks are "optimistic" about DT Leonard Williams' chances to play in Week 5 against the 49ers after he injured his ankle on Sunday, head coach Mike Macdonald said on Monday.

Bears QB Tyson Bagent will start Sunday's Week 5 game at the Packers, head coach Ben Johnson said on Monday. Bagent was in line to start Sunday's game against the Jets after QB Caleb Williams was ruled out for that game. But Bagent technically was not the starter on Sunday, as Case Keenum took the first snap with Bagent split out at receiver.
| Footballguys view: Still, it was Bagent's show the rest of the way, as he completed 25-of-34 passes for 268 yards with an interception. In 14 career games with five starts, Bagent has completed 67.2 percent of his passes for 1,239 yards with three touchdowns and seven interceptions. |
Tyson Bagent player page
Broncos WR Pat Bryant is expected to miss multiple weeks after suffering an ankle sprain in Sunday's loss to the 49ers, ESPN's Adam Schefter reported on Monday.
| Footballguys view: Bryant went down after hauling in a 30-yard reception in the third quarter, his third catch of the game. He was then carted off the field, leaving Denver with Jaylen Waddle, Courtland Sutton, Troy Franklin and Marvin Mims as their four healthy receivers against the 49ers. Denver also has four receivers on the practice squad. The hope is, this won't be a season-ending injury. Bryant's nine targets through the first three games of the 2026 season ranked fourth on the team. |
Pat Bryant player page
Rams WR Puka Nacua has a "pre-hernia," Fox Sports' Erin Andrews reported during Sunday's game against the Eagles, meaning there is a weakness in the muscle wall in his hip/groin area that has not yet become a hernia.
| Footballguys view: This is a situation worth watching. Nacua had "core muscle" issues during training camp and then a hip/groin problem that cost him two games; head coach Sean McVay recently acknowledged that Nacua does not have a hernia but that "some of the things can be like pre-hernia." Nonetheless, Nacua returned on Sunday and caught nine passes for 125 yards. We're playing him without reservation as long as he's available. |
Puka Nacua player page
Saints rookie WR Jordyn Tyson, who is on injured reserve with a hamstring injury, is still weeks away from returning to action, ESPN's Adam Schefter reported.
| Footballguys view: Tyson is eligible to come off injured reserve as soon as Week 5, but Week 7 currently looks like the earliest point he would be back in the lineup, per Schefter. The Saints face the Steelers in Paris in Week 7 and have their bye in Week 8. Tyson, a first-round pick, will miss Monday night's game against the Falcons and has yet to make his NFL debut. |
Jordyn Tyson player page
Chargers head coach Jim Harbaugh said after Sunday's 30-23 loss to the Seahawks that offensive coordinator Mike McDaniel's job "is not in jeopardy," ESPN's Kris Rhim reported. "He's a skilled coach, and we're going to keep growing," Harbaugh added.
| Footballguys view: The Chargers have scored the fourth-fewest points in the NFL (67) through Sunday night. QB Justin Herbert has six interceptions and four touchdowns this season. Over the past two weeks, Omarion Hampton's touches have decreased significantly. He ranks 26th in the NFL with 24 carries during the past two weeks. On Sunday, Hampton had a season-low 22 snaps and nine carries, one fewer than Keaton Mitchell's 10. Injuries and poor play on the offensive line haven't helped. With two more games to go (against the Broncos and the Chiefs) before a Week 7 bye, a turnaround is definitely needed. |
Justin Herbert player page
Washington Commanders wide receiver and return specialist Jaylin Lane was carted off after a gruesome ankle injury he suffered while returning a kickoff against the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday. Lane, the second-year receiver, was rolled up at the end of the play, and his left ankle appeared to twist awkwardly underneath his body.
| Footballguys view: Lane was evaluated earlier in the contest for a concussion, but was cleared to return to play. But his ankle injury sidelined him for the rest of the game, and likely beyond. The injury further depletes the Commanders' wide receiver room, which was already without veteran Terry McLaurin due to a hamstring injury. While Lane did not catch a pass before his exit, he returned three kickoffs for 80 yards and two punts for 17 yards. |
Jaylin Lane player page
WR Konata Mumpfield went down hard while attempting to make a diving catch in the second quarter of Sunday's win over the Eagles, landing on his left arm. He was shaken up on the play and examined by trainers on the sidelines. Mumpfield was taken to the locker room for further evaluation.
| Footballguys view: Although he was initially designated as questionable to return with a shoulder injury, Mumpfield was back on the field in the third quarter. With Puka Nacua back from his groin/hip injury and working at full capacity, Mumpfield finished the game with one catch for seven yards. His fantasy value will remain limited as long as Nacua is healthy. |
Konata Mumpfield player page
Broncos CB Pat Surtain II left Sunday's 24-14 loss to the 49ers with an ankle injury and did not return, but he is believed to have avoided a serious long-term injury. CB Riley Moss also left the game with a rib injury and did not return. WR Pat Bryant left the game on a cart.

Detroit Lions QB Jared Goff completed 32 of 52 passes for 412 yards with 1 touchdown in Sunday's 32-26 loss to the Carolina Panthers. He was projected for 19.2 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 20.5.

Carolina Panthers WR Tetairoa McMillan caught 14 passes for 192 yards and two touchdowns on 16 targets in Sunday's 32-26 win over the Detroit Lions. He was projected for 13.4 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 38.2.

Carolina Panthers RB Chuba Hubbard ran 20 times for 122 yards and two touchdowns and also caught 1 pass for 7 yards on 2 targets in Sunday's 32-26 win over the Detroit Lions. He was projected for 16.0 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 25.4.

Detroit Lions TE Sam LaPorta caught 8 passes for 84 yards and a touchdown on 13 targets in Sunday's 32-26 loss to the Carolina Panthers. He was projected for 9.6 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 18.4.
