Eagles | Saquon Barkley estimated as non-participant Wednesday Wed Oct 28, 06:56 PM
Eagles RB Saquon Barkley (hamstring/back) would not have participated in practice on Wednesday, according to the team's estimated report. The Eagles held only a walk-through on Wednesday, so the report is an estimation. Philadelphia visits the Commanders on Sunday night in Week 8.
| Footballguys view: Barkley has been dealing with his hamstring injury since Week 4, but he picked up a back injury in Week 7. Let's see what Friday brings as the Eagles are incredibly thin at the running back position. Jaydon Blue is behind Barkley, and Elijah Mitchell is on their practice squad. |

Chargers | Ladd McConkey a full participant Wednesday Wed Oct 28, 06:16 PM
Chargers WR Ladd McConkey (concussion) was a full participant in practice on Wednesday. It was the Chargers' first injury report ahead of Sunday's Week 8 game at the Rams.
| Footballguys view: McConkey and a simplified offense can help the Chargers look better in Week 8. The matchup is better than some would think, and if McConkey is out there, we like him as a flex play with upside. Coming off a bye with tons to prove, the Chargers could use a good game here. |

Cowboys | George Pickens limited in Wednesday practice Wed Oct 28, 06:13 PM
Cowboys WR George Pickens (shoulder/hamstring) was a limited participant in practice on Wednesday. Pickens took a hit to his right shoulder in Monday night's win over the Eagles.
| Footballguys view: Let's see what Pickens can do on Friday, as he's limited on Wednesday with a known shoulder issue and now a new hamstring designation. Pickens should produce like a WR2 (borderline WR1) against the Cardinals in Week 8. |

Cardinals | Tyler Allgeier not on field for open portion of Wednesday practice Wed Oct 28, 06:05 PM
Cardinals RB Tyler Allgeier was not on the field during the open portion of Wednesday's practice. He was among a handful of Arizona players absent during the viewing window ahead of Sunday's game at Dallas.
| Footballguys view: Allgeier ran the ball eight times for 19 yards in the Cardinals' Week 7 loss to the Broncos, plus he had three catches for 30 yards. He's barely getting more work than Bam Knight, and Allgeier hasn't been much of a fantasy factor. We see him as a flex play if Jeremiyah Love has to miss more time. |

Broncos | Pat Surtain II full on Wednesday, 'really good sign' for return vs. Chiefs Wed Oct 28, 05:52 PM
Broncos CB Pat Surtain II (ankle) was a full participant in practice on Wednesday. His full session is a "really good sign" for his potential return for Sunday's game against the Chiefs. Surtain was ruled out for the Broncos' Thursday night game against the Seahawks two weeks ago with the ankle injury.

Raiders | Brock Bowers limited in Wednesday practice Wed Oct 28, 05:50 PM
Raiders TE Brock Bowers was a limited participant in practice on Wednesday because of a calf injury.
| Footballguys view: We've seen this with Bowers before. Bowers was also limited last Wednesday with a hamstring/calf injury before upgrading to full practice on Thursday. Let's see if the plan is the same this week for the superstar tight end. |

Broncos | Jaylen Waddle does not practice Wednesday ahead of Chiefs game Wed Oct 28, 05:49 PM
Broncos WR Jaylen Waddle (chest) did not practice on Wednesday ahead of Denver's Week 8 game against the Chiefs. Waddle played in the Broncos' Week 7 win over the Cardinals. The Broncos will share another practice report on Thursday before releasing Week 8 game statuses on Friday.
| Footballguys view: Waddle aggravated a chest injury in Sunday's win over the Cardinals. Facing the Chiefs at home on Sunday, the Broncos offense would benefit from Waddle's presence. He's only really had one good/big game this year as Bo Nix has been struggling. Nix seems to be bouncing back after a good game against the Cardinals, and we'll see if the Broncos offense can produce at a better level -- with or without Waddle in Week 8. |

Browns | Dylan Sampson limited in Wednesday's practice Wed Oct 28, 05:41 PM
Browns RB Dylan Sampson (knee) was a limited participant in practice on Wednesday. The Browns visit the Steelers on Sunday.
| Footballguys view: Sampson played on offense last week for the first time in 2026, coming back from this knee injury. In Week 7, he had six rushes for 45 yards in the win against the Titans, adding three catches for 32 yards. Sampson is a flex play as the clear-cut receiving back for the Browns offense. |

Raiders | Kirk Cousins wants to give Jalen Nailor more opportunities: 'He's separating' Wed Oct 28, 05:33 PM
Raiders QB Kirk Cousins said on Wednesday that WR Jalen Nailor has been getting open and needs more chances in the offense. "When you watch the tape, you see him separating. I've told him you're doing a lot of good things. I need to give you opportunities to make it right," Cousins said, pointing to a late route against the Bills on which he overthrew Nailor and to "a couple of other examples" in Sunday's loss to the Rams. "He's beating his guy. That's all he can do. And then it's our job to give him opportunities to make plays," Cousins added.
| Footballguys view: He's running the routes, but the Raiders aren't getting him the ball much. Nailor caught 2-of-5 targets for 14 yards in the Raiders' Week 7 loss against the Rams. He's yet to be a waiver-wire addition, but that could change if Cousins starts sending it in his direction. |

Chargers | Chargers sticking with Mike McDaniel as play-caller coming out of bye at 0-6 Wed Oct 28, 05:29 PM
Chargers head coach Jim Harbaugh said on Wednesday that offensive coordinator Mike McDaniel will continue calling plays after the team's 0-6 start and Week 7 bye. "We're very confident in Mike and his talent, his work ethic and his ability," Harbaugh said, per The Athletic. "We continue to be." QB Justin Herbert has completed 59.4% of his passes with five touchdowns and eight interceptions, tied for the league high, and has been sacked 21 times, while the Chargers rank last in the NFL in points per game (15) heading into Sunday's game against the Rams.
| Footballguys view: The Chargers want to simplify some things on offense coming out of the bye. We imagine the team will use less pre-snap motion, and they should emphasize the rushing attack. These things are part of what can get Herbert looking good again. |

Texans | Tank Dell 'next man up' with Jaylin Noel's turf toe regarded as season-ending Wed Oct 28, 05:27 PM
Texans WR Tank Dell is the next man up at receiver after WR Jaylin Noel's turf toe injury, which is regarded as a season-ending issue, per a league source. Noel's loss is a blow to Houston's offense and special teams, as he was the most explosive and fastest receiver on the roster with 4.39 speed in the 40-yard dash. Dell was activated from injured reserve and lined up with the starting offense in Sunday's loss to the Giants.
| Footballguys view: Dell is an explosive player who can make big things happen on limited snaps. The Texans wide receiver situation is a bit convoluted, and we're not sure if Dell would get a healthy target share, no matter how things shake out. They have a bye in Week 8 to see what plan comes together. |

Ravens | Lamar Jackson a full participant in Wednesday's practice Wed Oct 28, 05:21 PM
Ravens QB Lamar Jackson was listed as a full participant in practice on Wednesday. Jackson has been dealing with an ankle injury and was expected to return for the Ravens' Week 8 game at the Bills.
| Footballguys view: Jackson should be back in Week 8 against the Bills. He has missed time with this ankle injury, but the hope is that he's as close to 100% healthy as possible. In what could be a shootout against Josh Allen, Jackson is a must-start QB1 for Fantasy GMs in Week 8. |

Texans | Jaylin Noel expected to miss the rest of the season Wed Oct 28, 05:21 PM
Texans WR Jaylin Noel is expected to miss the rest of the season, a source said on Wednesday. Noel was placed on injured reserve with a toe injury on Wednesday after suffering a turf toe injury in Sunday's loss to the Giants, which left him wearing a boot.
| Footballguys view: Toe injuries can be tricky to deal with, and they require time to properly heal. Noel was just getting more looks in the Texans' passing attack, and now he'll be eligible to return in Week 13 against the Steelers. |

Eagles | Dameon Pierce heading to IR, Eagles' top four RBs all hurt or on IR Wed Oct 28, 05:11 PM
Eagles RB Dameon Pierce is heading to injured reserve. Pierce joins RBs Tank Bigsby and Will Shipley on IR, while RB1 Saquon Barkley is dealing with back and hamstring injuries. Pierce was injured in the fourth quarter of Monday's loss to the Cowboys after taking on more of the workload with Barkley on a limited "pitch count" in his return.
| Footballguys view: Things are so thin behind Barkley -- and that's even if he's healthy enough to play. Behind Barkley is Jaydon Blue, and Elijah Mitchell is on the Eagles' practice squad. |

Lions | Kerby Joseph returns to practice as Lions open 21-day PUP window Wed Oct 28, 05:07 PM
Lions S Kerby Joseph returned to the practice field on Wednesday for the first time this season as the team opened his 21-day window to come off the PUP list. Joseph has not played in a game since Week 6 last season because of a knee injury and still has to get back into game shape and make sure the knee responds positively. Head coach Dan Campbell said Joseph has "checked all those boxes" in his rehab, adding, "the rest is just how does he react to football, movement skills of true football with real bodies and the intensity of it."

Texans | Texans claim Emari Demercado, 'not a good sign' for Montgomery after bye Wed Oct 28, 05:03 PM
The Texans were awarded RB Emari Demercado off waivers from the Cowboys on Wednesday. The beat writer called the claim "not a good sign for availability of David Montgomery (groin) after bye week." Texans RB Montgomery was ruled out for last Sunday's game against the Giants with the groin injury, and Houston is on its bye in Week 8.
| Footballguys view: The addition of Demercado could indicate the team doesn't think Montgomery will be ready after the bye. We'll see what the Texans' practice reports look like next week. |

Lions | Jahmyr Gibbs does not practice Wednesday Wed Oct 28, 04:57 PM
Lions RB Jahmyr Gibbs did not participate in practice on Wednesday because of a shoulder injury. Gibbs ran for 116 yards in Sunday's win over the Packers.
| Footballguys view: The Lions could be giving Gibbs a bit of rest here. We're not overly concerned with his availability in Week 8 at this time. Let's see what Gibbs can do on Friday at the latest as the team prepares for a Week 8 contest against the Vikings. |

Rams | Myles Garrett will not return to practice this week, McVay says Wed Oct 28, 04:56 PM

Rams | Davante Adams has successful hamstring surgery, 'probably closer to the shorter term' Wed Oct 28, 04:52 PM
Rams WR Davante Adams had a successful clean-out surgery on his hamstring, head coach Sean McVay said on Wednesday. McVay said "it's probably closer to the shorter term" of the six- to 10-week timeline for Adams, who is on injured reserve.
| Footballguys view: A return against the 49ers in Week 14 could be a possibility for Adams. Hopefully, your fantasy league has roster spots for injured players so Adams can be stashed until his return. |

Chiefs | Rashee Rice limited in first practice back Wed Oct 28, 04:45 PM
Chiefs WR Rashee Rice (hamstring/knee) was a limited participant in practice on Wednesday. It was his first time on the field since his hamstring injury, which kept him out of last Sunday's game against the Seahawks. Kansas City visits the Broncos on Sunday.
| Footballguys view: Rice hasn't played since Week 4 against the Raiders. This is a big road game for the Chiefs in Week 8, and the Broncos should be getting All-Pro CB Patrick Surtain II back for this contest. If he plays, you'll want to consider Rice as at least a deep flex play in Week 8. |

Patriots | A.J. Brown's injury listing clarified as knee/ankle on Wednesday report Wed Oct 28, 04:43 PM
The Patriots informed reporters on Wednesday that WR A.J. Brown's injury on the team's Wednesday injury report should be listed as knee/ankle. Brown was limited in Wednesday's practice ahead of the Week 8 game at Miami. Aside from a lengthy list of players on injured reserve, it was 'maybe the healthiest Wednesday report' the Patriots have had 'in a long time.'

Buccaneers QB Baker Mayfield (right thumb) was a full participant in practice on Wednesday. Mayfield returned from a dislocated thumb last Sunday against the Panthers, wearing a glove on the injured hand.
| Footballguys view: Mayfield completed 7-of-11 passes for 64 yards and a touchdown in the Bucs' 43-13 Week 7 win over the Panthers. They should have him throwing a bit more this week, and we've got him in the QB2 range for Fantasy GMs in Week 8. |

Dolphins | Malik Willis listed with groin injury, practices in full Wednesday Wed Oct 28, 04:26 PM
Dolphins QB Malik Willis was listed on Wednesday's injury report with a groin injury but was a full participant in practice. Several Dolphins were limited at Wednesday's practice ahead of Sunday's Week 8 game against the Patriots.
| Footballguys view: Willis has battled various injuries (toe, thumb) this year, and now he's dealing with a groin injury. He's an option as a QB2 if you play in a start-2QB/superflex league. |

Bengals WR Ja'Marr Chase was listed as a non-participant in Wednesday's practice due to an ankle injury and rest. Chase had not been present at the start of Wednesday's practice. The Bengals host the Titans on Sunday.
| Footballguys view: It's a rest day, so we think he'll be good to go against the Titans. Chase is always a top-tier WR1 when he plays, but circle back Friday just to check on his status. |

Bears | Kyle Monangai on a bike in weight room, not practicing Wednesday Wed Oct 28, 04:10 PM
Bears RB Kyle Monangai (toe) was in the weight room on a bike at the start of Wednesday's practice as the team went through stretching. Chicago had the same absences on Wednesday as it did on Tuesday, when Monangai did not practice.
| Footballguys view: The Bears play the Seahawks on Monday Night Football in Week 8. That means we won't see an official injury report until Thursday. We'll know more about Monangai's status at that time. |

Jets | Garrett Wilson will not request trade before deadline: 'I want to be here' Wed Oct 28, 04:00 PM
Jets WR Garrett Wilson said on Wednesday that he has not asked to be traded and will not ask the team to deal him before the Nov. 10 trade deadline. "Yeah, I want to be here," Wilson said. "I want to win games. That's the one thing we've been missing on here. I love it here. Do I love it more than I love winning? Nah, to be completely honest. But I'm hopeful." Wilson, who was targeted three times with two catches for 26 yards in Sunday's 28-25 loss to the Dolphins, said the on-field frustration between him and QB Geno Smith was not directed at each other, and Smith said Wednesday, "I'm looking to get him the football, as much as I can. But I have to be mindful of the defense as well."
| Footballguys view: Football is an emotional sport, and sometimes emotions boil over when running hot. Wilson is a cornerstone player for the Jets, no matter what the head coach/quarterback combination may be in the future. |

Colts | Tyler Warren estimated as limited after missing two straight games Wed Oct 28, 03:53 PM
Colts TE Tyler Warren (groin) was listed as a limited participant on Wednesday's practice report. The Colts held only a walkthrough on Wednesday, so the report is an estimation of how players would have participated if practice had happened. Warren missed Sunday's game in Minnesota and was also sidelined for the Week 6 game against the Titans. The Colts visit the Jaguars in Week 8.

The reporter believes the Jaguars are "more open than ever to listening to trade offers" for WR Brian Thomas Jr. ahead of the trade deadline. He added that Thomas' trade value is "complicated," a topic he discussed with Daniel Popper in an early trade-deadline preview.
| Footballguys view: The deadline is Nov. 10, and Thomas should have a few suitors if the Jaguars have him on the trade block. A change of scenery could be best for a receiver who hasn't caught a pass since Week 4. |

Bengals | Erick All Jr. tore ACL again; Taylor 'not nervous at all' about using Jack Endries Wed Oct 28, 03:01 PM
Bengals TE Erick All Jr. suffered his third ACL tear in his right knee in the last four seasons in last Sunday's win over the Ravens, head coach Zac Taylor confirmed on Wednesday. "It's awful for him," Taylor said. "He's been through this a couple of times before." With Tanner Hudson (pectoral) also lost for the season, rookie TE Jack Endries and TE Cam Grandy will have to "pick up the slack," and Taylor said of Endries: "I'm not nervous at all about using him.

Bills WR DJ Moore was on the practice field Wednesday wearing a red non-contact jersey, joining the wide receivers for a drill with QB Josh Allen. Head coach Joe Brady had said Wednesday that "it will be nice to get" Moore back on the field. Moore (shoulder) was listed as a limited participant on Wednesday's official injury report.
| Footballguys view: Moore has been dealing with a shoulder injury (AC joint sprain) and was inactive against the Raiders in Week 6. A Week 7 bye helped Moore get more time to get right. Let's see what his practice status is this week, Friday specifically, as the Bills prepare for a big game versus the Ravens. |

Packers | Stenavich says Jacobs 'didn't play as much as he normally would' in return Wed Oct 28, 02:30 PM
Packers offensive coordinator Adam Stenavich said on Wednesday that RB Josh Jacobs "didn't play as much as he normally would had he been here this whole time" in Sunday's loss to the Lions. "He's been out for a while. Getting him back in the swing of things," Stenavich said of Jacobs' workload. Jacobs was activated from exempt status on Saturday ahead of that game.
| Footballguys view: Jacobs is going to get more work as he continues to get back into football shape. We see him leading the team in touches from the backfield, and that makes him a borderline RB1 for Fantasy GMs out there. |
Josh Jacobs player page
Patriots | A.J. Brown 'sometimes' still pushing through right high-ankle sprain Wed Oct 28, 02:08 PM
Patriots WR A.J. Brown said on Wednesday that he is sometimes still trying to get his explosiveness back since his right high-ankle sprain. "Yeah, sometimes. Sometimes I see it and sometimes I'm pushing through. But none of that stuff really matters. I'm out here, so...." Brown said.
| Footballguys view: Brown caught 3-of-6 targets for 48 yards in the Patriots' Week 7 loss to the Bears. He's not quite himself, and the chemistry he has with Drake Maye is a work in progress. Against the Dolphins on Sunday afternoon, we've got Brown in the WR2 range. Fantasy GMs won't be too confident, but they don't want to miss out if/when Brown has a breakout week. |
