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 26 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 the Chargers. 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. |

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 game days, starting Sunday against the Chargers.
| Footballguys view: Payton didn't take long to wrest 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.
| 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. |

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 toe is a tricky injury 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 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. |
