Rams QB Matthew Stafford was a full participant in practice on Wednesday. Head coach Sean McVay would not say much about the ice pack on Stafford's arm after Sunday's win over the Chargers other than to say it was soreness.

49ers DE Nick Bosa returned to practice as a limited participant on Wednesday after missing the team's past five games with a left calf injury he suffered while warming up in practice for Week 3. "It's a long year, and I kind of just reminded myself that I need to be ready for the long haul," Bosa said, via Harrison Rich of the San Francisco Chronicle. Bosa, who tore his right ACL in a September 2025 game against the Cardinals, said the calf injury "took a little longer than I expected, but I don't even think about it anymore."

Commanders WR Treylon Burks (foot) did not practice on Wednesday as Washington began preparations for its Week 9 game against the Rams. Burks was questionable for last Sunday night's game against the Eagles with the foot injury but was active.

Browns rookie WR Denzel Boston came up limping during Wednesday's practice and was added to the injury report with a calf injury, though he returned to practice. Boston already had a sleeve on his right calf when he was first seen limping. He was listed as a limited participant on Wednesday ahead of Sunday's Week 9 game at the Saints.

Rams DE Myles Garrett returned to practice on Wednesday, opening his 21-day window to return from injured reserve after missing seven games following left knee surgery. Coach Sean McVay said Garrett would take half the amount of full reps on Wednesday and would be evaluated each day before the team determines when he will be activated for a game. "A lot of it is going to be predicated on his communication and feedback to us, and then ultimately being able to see that, hopefully the expectation is he's ready to rock this week," McVay said ahead of Sunday's game against the Commanders. Garrett went through individual drills with the edge rushers during the portion of practice open to reporters.

Eagles WR Dontayvion Wicks (ankle) remained sidelined at practice on Wednesday. Wicks was ruled out of last Sunday's game and is not practicing to open the week ahead of Sunday's Week 9 game against the Giants.

Eagles WR DeVonta Smith (hamstring) remained sidelined at practice on Wednesday. Smith was ruled out of last Sunday's game and is not practicing to open the week ahead of Sunday's Week 9 game against the Giants.
| Footballguys view: Smith has missed game action since Week 6, so it's no surprise he remains sidelined. Makai Lemon will be the Eagles' No. 1 receiver with Joe Milton III now under center at quarterback. |
DeVonta Smith player page
Eagles RB Saquon Barkley was listed as a non-participant on Wednesday's injury report with hamstring and back injuries. Barkley was off the injury report and declared 'good to go' ahead of last Sunday night's game at Washington. The Eagles host the Giants in Week 9 on Sunday.

Chiefs TE Travis Kelce was a limited participant in practice on Wednesday because of an ankle injury. Kelce had come off the injury report ahead of last Sunday's loss to the Broncos. The Chiefs host the Jets in Week 9 on Sunday.

Broncos head coach Sean Payton said on Wednesday, "We're good with the rotation," at running back, in response to a question about whether the team is load-managing RB J.K. Dobbins. The comment was not a trade deadline smoke signal. Dobbins played 13 snaps to RB Jonah Coleman's 41 in Sunday's win over the Chiefs.
| Footballguys view: Coleman is the lead back, but Dobbins might get a "ceremonial" start again. We like Coleman to do more going forward, and he could post RB1 numbers against the Panthers in Week 9. Dobbins is more of a "what the heck" flex in his limited role. |
J.K. Dobbins player page
Rams QB Matthew Stafford downplayed leaving the locker room on Sunday with an ice pack on his right elbow, saying on Wednesday that he has iced throughout the season. "Little bit of soreness and stuff that is not uncommon this time of year," Stafford said. "Haven't missed a rep in a game. Feel good. So I'm not too worried about it."
| Footballguys view: Stafford is a seasoned veteran who has dealt with nagging injuries before. Against the Commanders in Week 9, we've got him in the QB2 (with QB1 upside) range for Fantasy GMs out there. |

Rams CB Jaylen Watson will have shoulder surgery and is out for the season, coach Sean McVay said on Wednesday. Watson reinjured his shoulder during Sunday's win over the Chargers. "That's a big blow," McVay said. "He wanted to be able to play through it but just kind of understanding the totality of it all, just some of the different things, recommended to get that surgery." CBs Josh Wallace and Emmanuel Forbes Jr. are expected to help fill Watson's spot, and McVay indicated the Rams could explore adding a cornerback before next Tuesday's trade deadline.

Panthers QB Bryce Young (ankle) was listed as a full participant on Wednesday's estimated injury report. The Panthers did not practice Wednesday after practicing Tuesday, and the estimated report reflects what was seen on the practice field the day before. Carolina hosts the Broncos in Week 9.
| Footballguys view: Young is coming off a Thursday night game in Week 8 where he was sacked six times. Now, he gets to face a sack-happy Broncos defense in Week 9. The Panthers need to do a much better job protecting him this week. Expect a lot of short passes to keep the Broncos' rushers at bay. |

Packers DE Micah Parsons said on Wednesday that he will not play 50-60 snaps as he did before when he returns to games. "My conditioning right now is probably the worst it's been in my career," Parsons said. "Am I gonna go out there and play 50, 60 snaps how I was doing before? Absolutely not. It's just not realistic. My body's not there yet. I don't even think my knee's built for that yet. I didn't go through training camp." Asked whether he would be "the All-Pro Micah" this year, Parsons said, "Probably not until later, after I go through all my phases and things like that."

The Rams will open the 21-day practice window for TE Terrance Ferguson, who is on injured reserve with an ankle injury, head coach Sean McVay said on Wednesday. Ferguson will practice on Wednesday.
| Footballguys view: McVay said on Monday that Ferguson's return was "looking more likely than not." If Ferguson is out there on your waiver wire, feel free to stash him on your bench. |

Broncos WR Pat Bryant returned to practice on Wednesday, opening his 21-day window to be activated from injured reserve. His return was expected. Bryant was placed on injured reserve on Oct. 9 with an ankle injury.
| Footballguys view: Bryant could be back this week for the game against the Panthers. However, the Broncos have a bye in Week 10, so Bryant could get an extra week of rest if the team doesn't think he's quite ready to get back on the field. |

Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes (knee) practiced in full on Wednesday. Mahomes was off the injury report ahead of last Sunday's game against the Broncos, when he threw for 321 yards and three touchdowns in a loss.

Dolphins QB Malik Willis (groin) was a full participant in practice on Wednesday. Willis was also listed with a groin injury and practiced in full last Wednesday.

Saints RB Alvin Kamara did not practice on Wednesday because of a back issue. Kamara was limited in practice with a back injury in late October before playing against the Steelers without an injury designation.

Cardinals RB James Conner, who remains on injured reserve, will not be an option for Sunday's Week 9 game at the Seahawks, head coach Mike LaFleur said on Wednesday. As for Conner playing this season, LaFleur said he is taking it "week-to-week." RB Bam Knight did not practice Wednesday as he recovers from a concussion, and rookie RB Jeremiyah Love is on injured reserve.
| Footballguys view: The week-to-week designation is curious, especially with the trade deadline coming up. With Love on IR, Tyler Allgeier handles a large workload for the Cardinals. We've got him in the RB2 range for Fantasy GMs in Week 9 against the Seahawks. |

49ers WR Deebo Samuel (hamstring) is not expected to practice on Wednesday, head coach Kyle Shanahan said. Samuel had posted a workout video earlier, and there had been a 'chance he could be back' for Sunday's Week 9 game against the Raiders.

Ravens RB Derrick Henry, a reported trade target of the Giants, appears to be off the market. Baltimore's push to stay in the playoff race makes any possibility of the Giants trading for Henry unlikely.
| Footballguys view: The Ravens are 4-4 and two games back from the Steelers (6-2) entering Week 9. With the trade for QB Jacoby Brissett, it seems like the team is not folding just yet. With the trade deadline less than a week away, Henry seems to be locked in with the Ravens. |

Colts RB Jonathan Taylor was a limited participant in practice on Wednesday, with the team listing it as a partial "rest" day. Taylor was not listed with an injury.
| Footballguys view: Taylor has not gotten traded -- yet. Teams like the Broncos, Giants, Vikings, and others should have interest. However, the Colts' asking price might be pretty high, and teams are so far hesitant to cough up a package for Taylor that could include a first-round pick. |

49ers RB Christian McCaffrey will not practice on Wednesday. McCaffrey suffered what the team called a 'mild' hamstring strain before the bye, and the 49ers said then they were 'pretty optimistic' about him.

Texans RB David Montgomery (groin) will still be out and is week to week, head coach DeMeco Ryans said on Wednesday. Ryans added that Montgomery has made 'progress' in his recovery. Montgomery was not seen at practice earlier Wednesday.

Cowboys WR George Pickens is expected to remain in Dallas through the trade deadline, as he "remains content in Dallas and doesn't want to be moved, nor does Dallas plan to trade him," ESPN's Jeremy Fowler reported. ESPN's Dan Graziano added that teams have wondered whether the 3-5 Cowboys would consider dealing Pickens, who is headed for 2027 free agency, but "I do not get the sense that Dallas would consider such a move." Pickens had four targets in Sunday's loss to the Cardinals, fewer than TE Brevyn Spann-Ford, and has 39 catches for 533 yards and two touchdowns through eight games.
| Footballguys view: As Pickens walked off the field at the end of the loss to the Cardinals, fans began to speculate about his status with the team. It all seems to be fine, and Jerry Jones said in a Tuesday radio interview on 105.3 The Fan that he is not looking to be a seller at the deadline. |

Cardinals QB Jacoby Brissett is projected to be the Ravens' starting quarterback for Week 10 against the Chargers, which would give Baltimore four different starting quarterbacks in four games. The Ravens are finalizing a trade for Brissett. Tyler Huntley started Week 7 against the Bengals, Lamar Jackson started Week 8 at the Bills, and rookie Joe Fagnano is set to start Thursday against the Jaguars.

The Ravens are finalizing a trade for Cardinals QB Jacoby Brissett, a deal also reported by Adam Schefter. The move fills the void left by injuries to Ravens QBs Lamar Jackson and Tyler Huntley. The deal is expected to be completed this weekend.
| Footballguys view: The Ravens play on Thursday night against the Jaguars, so the deal couldn't get done in time for him to play this week. However, Brissett is a seasoned veteran who should be able to pick up the offense quickly. That means he could certainly be the team's starter in Week 10. The Ravens play against the hapless Chargers that week on Monday Night Football. |

Patriots TE Hunter Henry (foot) was not seen during the media-access portion of Wednesday's practice. Henry left last Sunday's win over the Dolphins with the foot injury, and head coach Mike Vrabel said Tuesday he had no expectations yet for him. Rookie TE Eli Raridon is listed first on the Patriots' healthy tight end depth chart, followed by Cameron Latu, Tanner Arkin and practice-squad TE Tanner Conner.

Cowboys TE Jake Ferguson was going through resistance training on Wednesday as he works back from an ankle injury. Ferguson suffered a low ankle sprain against the Cardinals on Sunday.
| Footballguys view: Let's circle back to see what Ferguson can do on Friday. Brevyn Spann-Ford would get more work if Ferguson has to miss Week 9. |
Jake Ferguson player page
Texans RB Woody Marks could once again be leaned on as a starter in Week 9 against the Chargers. RB David Montgomery (groin) was not seen at practice on Wednesday, according to reporter DJ Bien-Aime: "We did not see RB David Montgomery out there."
| Footballguys view: Marks should get another start this week. Against the Chargers in Week 9, Marks could post RB2 numbers for Fantasy GMs. He's been mostly underwhelming this season. |

Cowboys WR George Pickens went from playing 55-60 offensive snaps per game over the first six weeks to 41 and 42 the last two weeks because he's been banged up. Pickens was limited in practice all last week with shoulder and hamstring injuries. He was at practice on Wednesday and was moving well in the portion open to reporters.
| Footballguys view: On Tuesday, Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said Pickens "needs the ball coming in his direction more." He's not getting traded, per ESPN's Jeremy Fowler, despite fan speculation, and if Pickens is healthy he should get more work. Against the Colts, Pickens is a WR2 with WR1 upside in what could be a bounce-back game for the Cowboys after losing to the Cardinals in Week 8. |

Colts WR Keenan Allen did not practice on Wednesday. Allen joins CB Justin Walley, CB Charvarius Ward, LB Akeem Davis-Gaither and TE Drew Ogletree among the Colts not practicing.

The Eagles are naming QB Joe Milton III their starting quarterback and benching QB Tanner McKee for Sunday's Week 9 game against the Giants, NFL Network's Mike Garafolo and ESPN's Adam Schefter reported Wednesday. McKee is 0-3 as a starter. Milton will be the fourth different Eagles quarterback to throw a pass this season, after Jalen Hurts (blood clots), Andy Dalton (released) and McKee. Philadelphia is 2-6 and has lost six straight.
| Footballguys view: Milton has a big arm, like 80 yards on a rope kind of arm, and he's going to be able to stretch the field because of that. He'll need to work on his consistency, but the athleticism and arm strength make him an intriguing prospect. Add Milton in start-2QB/superflex leagues as a "lottery ticket" addition. It could work out okay, or it could be disastrous in a lost season for the Eagles. |

Dolphins RB Jaylen Wright was not spotted at practice on Wednesday. Wright was listed with a foot injury earlier in October, though he was "good to go" for the Dolphins' game against the Jets.
| Footballguys view: Ollie Gordon II is the featured back for the Dolphins, and Wright is mainly used as a change-of-pace back and special teams return man. He's a player we keep stashed, but only in deeper leagues. |
Jaylen Wright player page
Seahawks QB Drew Lock is dealing with an elbow injury, head coach Mike Macdonald said on Wednesday. "He's able to throw. How much, we're working through that right now," Macdonald said. Lock is in line to start with QB Sam Darnold out with a quad injury.
| Footballguys view: Lock has been an emergency QB3 for the Seahawks over the last couple of weeks as he deals with this injury. Now, he's thrust into the starting lineup again with Darnold out for at least this week (and perhaps even Week 10). Jalen Milroe will get some work this week as well, but Macdonald had no issue calling Lock the starter on Wednesday. We've got Lock in the QB2 range. |

Texans RB David Montgomery had not been seen at practice as of Wednesday afternoon, the beat writer reported.
| Footballguys view: Montgomery has been dealing with a groin injury that kept him out of the Week 7 game against the Giants, and head coach DeMeco Ryans said Monday there was 'no significant update' on his status. |
David Montgomery player page
Seahawks QB Sam Darnold is out for Week 9 against the Cardinals with a quad injury, head coach Mike Macdonald said on Wednesday. Macdonald called Darnold week-to-week, and he is not going on injured reserve.
| Footballguys view: The Bears got after Darnold in Week 8, and now he's going to miss at least this week against the Cardinals. We'll see Drew Lock as the starter again, and he's a QB2 option in superflex leagues. |
Sam Darnold player page
Giants RB Cam Skattebo (hamstring) again worked on the side with a trainer and did not practice on Wednesday, and he is in doubt for Sunday's Week 9 game at the Eagles. That leaves RB Devin Singletary and RB Greg Desrosiers, who was signed off the Chargers practice squad last week, as the only healthy running backs on the Giants' active roster, with RB Tyrone Tracy on injured reserve. RBs Phil Mafah and Eric Gray are on the practice squad.
Link to storyDevin Singletary player page
Giants RB Cam Skattebo (hamstring) was on the side again with a trainer at practice on Wednesday. Skattebo also worked on the side with a trainer in Monday's first practice after the bye, and head coach John Harbaugh called him "day-to-day" with the hamstring injury on Monday. The Giants visit the Eagles on Sunday.
| Footballguys view: Skattebo's hamstring injury might force him to miss the game against the Eagles. Devin Singletary would likely be the Giants' starter if Skattebo is out. |
Cam Skattebo player page
Packers WR Christian Watson was practicing on Wednesday. Watson said he broke a rib in last Thursday's win over the Panthers, a game in which he caught eight passes for 113 yards. LB Zaire Franklin, OL Sean Rhyan, OL Travis Glover, and TE Josh Whyle were the players on the 53-man roster not practicing.
| Footballguys view: We'll likely see Watson use extra protection like a flak jacket while he deals with this rib injury. It's a pain-tolerance issue, and if he's practicing on Wednesday, Watson should be able to play in Week 9. We've got him as a WR1 against the Patriots in Week 9. |
