Eagles | Saquon Barkley 'tracking to miss' Sunday, Jaydon Blue lone healthy active RB Fri Oct 30, 09:45 AM
Eagles RB Saquon Barkley missed practice again and is tracking to miss Sunday's Week 8 game at the Commanders. If Barkley can't play, RB Jaydon Blue is the only healthy running back on the Eagles' active roster; Blue was called up from the practice squad on Wednesday. RB Elijah Mitchell, who was temporarily elevated for Week 7, remains on the practice squad. Blue logged 38 carries for 129 rushing yards and one catch for five yards with the Cowboys as a rookie last season.

Eagles RB Jaydon Blue will likely be active for Sunday night's game at the Commanders, as RB Saquon Barkley has not practiced this week while dealing with hamstring and back injuries. Unless Barkley bounces back quickly, the Eagles' running backs on Sunday night will be Blue and Elijah Mitchell, with Will Shipley, Tank Bigsby and Dameon Pierce on injured reserve. Blue is on the 53-man roster, while Mitchell is on the practice squad. "I feel like I'm very comfortable in the offense," Blue said on Thursday. "But I'm ready. I feel like I'm going to take advantage of every opportunity that I get."

Panthers rookie CB Will Lee III left Thursday's 27-19 loss to the Packers with what head coach Dave Canales called "a pretty good hamstring" and did not return. Lee, who has started since Week 4, was hurt on a 53-yard completion to Christian Watson and was replaced by Chau Smith-Wade for the rest of the game. Carolina is also without CBs Jaycee Horn and Mike Jackson, who are on injured reserve, and Akayleb Evans, who was placed on IR this week. Canales said second-year CB Corey Thornton is "going to get that opportunity real soon."

Packers WR Christian Watson said he broke a rib and was coughing up blood during Thursday's win over the Panthers. Watson said everything else checked out fine at the hospital, so he got the OK to return to the game. He finished with eight catches for 113 yards.

Panthers QB Bryce Young's knee issue may be affecting his ability to escape pressure. Asked on Thursday whether the knee was compromising Young's ability to escape, head coach Dave Canales replied, "Maybe." Young has been on the injury report with the knee but has been a full participant, and while he is still able to move, he is not as slippery as he was earlier in the season.

Rams WR Puka Nacua said on Thursday that he is still doing maintenance on his calf injury each morning to get ready to play. "I'm working with some stuff in my insoles... so I can go out there and play as freely and confidently as I can," Nacua said. He played through the calf injury in last Sunday's win over the Raiders.

Packers RB Josh Jacobs' legal matter is closed, but the NFL's investigation is not. Jacobs played on a pitch count in his return against the Lions last Sunday, and it is an open question whether he will be limited again on the quick turnaround for Thursday's game against the Panthers.

Rams TE Colby Parkinson (rib) missed practice for a second straight day on Thursday. Parkinson was injured in the third quarter of Sunday's win over the Raiders before returning to that game.

Cardinals rookie RB Jeremiyah Love (ankle) was limited in practice again on Thursday. Love missed the last two games with the ankle injury before returning to practice this week.
| Footballguys view: Love has missed time, and the Cardinals are wisely being cautious with their star rookie. He's set to return this week, but a full participation on Friday would make us feel a lot better about his status. |

Chiefs special teams coordinator Dave Toub expressed rather emphatically on Thursday that K Harrison Butker is Kansas City's kicker despite his struggles and the team signing K Justin Tucker. Tucker, who hasn't played in the NFL since 2024, was signed to the Chiefs' practice squad.

Seahawks rookie RB Jadarian Price was a limited participant in practice on Thursday, the team said. Price, who is on injured reserve with a chest injury, was designated to return to practice earlier on Thursday.

Seahawks RB Zach Charbonnet was a full participant in practice on Thursday. Charbonnet was ruled out for last Sunday's game against the Chiefs.
| Footballguys view: Charbonnet was close to returning last week, but the team kept him out of action against the Chiefs. This week, Charbonnet is trending to play. Rookie first-round pick Jadarian Price is also practicing. With the game against the Bears on Monday, Fantasy GMs won't have clarity until Saturday... and we're hoping things are a bit more clear at the time. |

Packers WR Matthew Golden is active for Thursday night's Week 8 game against the Panthers after being listed as questionable. Golden had been dealing with a shoulder injury.

Chiefs rookie CB Mansoor Delane was added to the injury report on Thursday and did not participate in practice because of a shoulder injury. The report indicates Delane injured the shoulder in Wednesday's practice. He dealt with a shoulder injury in training camp and aggravated it in Week 1.

The Lions won't limit RB Jahmyr Gibbs' heavy workload. 'He probably wants more,' the report quotes. Gibbs is on pace for 471 touches this season, the most in the NFL since James Wilder had 492 touches for Tampa Bay in 1984.

Eagles DT Jalen Carter appeared on the team's injury report on Thursday with an abdomen injury. Carter had been playing through a hairline wrist fracture earlier this season before practicing in full in mid-October. The Eagles play at the Commanders on Sunday night.

Eagles WR DeVonta Smith (hamstring) was 'still sidelined' on Philadelphia's Thursday injury report, ahead of Sunday night's game against the Commanders.
| Footballguys view: Smith was estimated as a non-participant on Wednesday after missing Monday night's game against the Cowboys. Two days of "DNP" is not a good sign, but practicing on Friday might make Smith limited in Week 8. Come back to see what Smith can do on Friday. |

Commanders WR Treylon Burks (foot) did not practice on Thursday.

Broncos WR Jaylen Waddle (chest) was a limited participant in practice on Thursday after not practicing to start the week. Denver hosts the Chiefs on Sunday.
| Footballguys view: Waddle hasn't been doing much for the Broncos this year outside of a big game against the Jaguars. He's back in action, but the chest injury is something they'll monitor closely on Friday. Waddle is more of a WR3/flex play with his current role in a struggling offense. |
Jaylen Waddle player page
Broncos RB J.K. Dobbins indicated on Thursday that he believes his reduced workload is Denver trying to keep him fresh rather than him losing the starting job. Dobbins said rookie RB Jonah Coleman's uptick in work came when the Broncos were winning late and that all he cares about is winning. He added that if he wasn't getting carries and Denver was losing, "s***, I'm gonna be mad as f***."
| Footballguys view: Dobbins was salty with reporters on Thursday. He's getting work with Coleman and Harvey in a three-headed RBBC. With Coleman impressing and looking to do more, and with Harvey having the pass-catching role, there may not be much for Dobbins in certain matchups. We've got him as a deep flex play in this current role. |
J.K. Dobbins player page
Cowboys WR George Pickens was limited in practice again on Thursday. He is still expected to play Sunday against the Cardinals. Pickens took a hit to his right shoulder in Monday's win over the Eagles.

Chiefs WR Rashee Rice (hamstring/knee) was a limited participant in practice on Thursday, his second straight limited session. Rice hasn't played since tweaking his hamstring in Week 4. The Chiefs visit the Broncos on Sunday.
| Footballguys view: Getting Rice back would be huge. He's missed two games and had a bye week to recover from this hamstring/knee problem. The Chiefs offense needs all the help they can get in the passing game. Rice may play against the Broncos, but they're getting All-Pro CB Pat Surtain back for Sunday's game. |
Rashee Rice player page
Ravens QB Lamar Jackson was a full participant in practice on Thursday. It was his second straight full session after he also practiced fully on Wednesday.
| Footballguys view: Jackson looks like he'll be out there against the Bills. It's a huge mathcup in the AFC, and the Ravens offense gets a huge boost with Jackson back out there. We like him as his normal QB1. |
Lamar Jackson player page
Titans RB Tyjae Spears (knee) did not participate in practice on Thursday. Spears was also absent from practice on Wednesday as Tennessee prepares for Sunday's game at the Bengals.
Link to storyTyjae Spears player page
Jets RB Braelon Allen (ankle) was a full participant in practice on Thursday. Allen had been limited in Wednesday's session. The Jets host the Raiders on Sunday.
| Footballguys view: Allen has been rock solid as the starting back for the Jets. Now that Breece Hall could be returning this week, Allen may go to more of a reserve role. At the very least, we could see the Jets easing Hall back into action. Allen has been too good to go back to just a few touches a game. |
Braelon Allen player page
Jaguars WR Travis Hunter's breakout offensive game against the Texans won't necessarily mean a dramatic and steady increase in his offensive snaps, offensive coordinator Grant Udinski said on Thursday. "That's something that will probably vary week-to-week," Udinski said, adding, "Some weeks, it might be a strong feature of Travis... and then the next game it might only be two or three catches or a couple touches." Hunter played nine offensive snaps in the Week 6 loss to Houston, catching a season-high four passes for 59 yards and a touchdown, while also starting at cornerback and recording an interception. He has played 311 snaps at cornerback and 30 at wide receiver this season, and Udinski said the team will "continue to try to build his route tree."
| Footballguys view: Varying from week to week is not great for Fantasy GMs. Hunter has a ton of athleticism, so he can be seen as a 'what the heck' flex on a weekly basis. |
Travis Hunter player page
Broncos RB RJ Harvey was present for only a portion of the media viewing period at Thursday's practice. Harvey's status on Thursday's injury report will be one to watch, along with those of DT Zach Allen and WR Jaylen Waddle. Denver hosts the Chiefs on Sunday.
| Footballguys view: Harvey popped up on the injury report with a knee issue. After not being on the injury report on Wednesday, this is a concern. The team is looking for Jonah Coleman to do more, and JK Dobbins might not yet take a backseat to the rookie. |
RJ Harvey player page
Lions WR Amon-Ra St. Brown was a full participant in practice on Thursday. St. Brown said his ankle is fine and that he just got it stepped on a couple of times last week.
| Footballguys view: It's a huge divisional game for the Lions against the Vikings in Week 8. Upgraded from a "DNP" on Wednesday, St. Brown is on track to play. |
Amon-Ra St. Brown player page
Buccaneers QB Baker Mayfield (right thumb) was a full participant in practice on Thursday. Mayfield was also a full participant on Wednesday. He wore a glove on his dislocated thumb in last Sunday's win over the Panthers. Tampa Bay hosts the Falcons on Sunday.
| Footballguys view: Let's see if Mayfield throws it more than 11 times this week. Against the Falcons in Week 8, Mayfield should be a QB2. We like Egbuka in the WR2/flex range for Fantasy GMs in PPR formats. |
Baker Mayfield player page
Bears RB Kyle Monangai (toe) was listed as a non-participant on the team's estimated injury report on Thursday. Monangai also did not practice on Tuesday or Wednesday, when he was seen working on a bike in the weight room. He missed the Bears' Week 7 game against the Patriots with the toe injury.
| Footballguys view: The game is on Monday against the Seahawks, but it looks like Monangai may have to miss another game. D'Andre Swift is the lead back, and he should post RB2 numbers for Fantasy GMs in Week 8. |

Jaguars RB LeQuint Allen Jr. was added to the team's injury report on Thursday with a hamstring injury. He was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.

Browns RB Dylan Sampson (knee) was a full participant in practice on Thursday. He had been limited on Wednesday.
| Footballguys view: Good news for the Browns here. Sampson is the change-of-pace back for the team, and he's worth considering as a 'what the heck' flex in PPR formats. |
Dylan Sampson player page
Lions RB Jahmyr Gibbs (shoulder) returned to practice on Thursday after missing Wednesday's session. Gibbs downplayed the injury after practice, saying he was surprised by an alert on his phone listing him as questionable. "Yeah, just got dinged up a little bit, a little shoulder thing, but I'm good, though. I'm straight," Gibbs said. There are no indications the injury will affect his availability against the Vikings on Sunday.
| Footballguys view: Gibbs says he's good to go, and Fantasy GMs can start him as per usual. The Vikings defense will throw the kitchen sink at the Lions' offense, but Gibbs could still finish with RB1 production. |

Buccaneers WR Chris Godwin Jr. did not practice on Thursday because of a veteran rest day. DT A'Shawn Robinson was also given a rest day. Tampa Bay hosts the Falcons on Sunday.

Colts TE Tyler Warren (groin) was a limited participant again on Thursday, the Colts' first on-field practice of the week after a walkthrough on Wednesday. Warren, who has missed the last two games, was also limited on Wednesday. TE Drew Ogletree (knee) was limited as well ahead of Sunday's game against the Jaguars.
| Footballguys view: Warren has been out of action for a couple of games, but this week he's been limited in two days of practice. Another limited practice on Friday isn't total clarity, but a full participation would make it seem like he's ready to return in Week 8. Stay tuned, and check back on Friday to see what Warren's status is. |
Tyler Warren player page
Jets RB Breece Hall (quadriceps) was a limited participant in practice on Thursday as the team prepares for its Week 8 game against the Raiders. Hall was also limited on Wednesday after missing last Sunday's game against the Dolphins with the quad injury.
| Footballguys view: Hall was back in action last week, but the team decided to give him one more week of rest. Braelon Allen has been doing a fine job filling in as the lead back. In fact, even when Hall is back at full strength, we should see Allen get more touches than he was previously behind Hall. This dings Hall's fantasy value slightly, and Fantasy GMs will have to adjust to a new role for Allen once Hall is back (perhaps as soon as this week). |
