Commanders WR Stefon Diggs is being held out of practice on Wednesday but will be "full-go" on Thursday, head coach Dan Quinn said. Quinn said going forward this likely will be the case for Diggs each week, and that it was not related to the hand injury Diggs appeared to suffer against the 49ers.

Giants RB Cam Skattebo indicated his hamstring was OK after Sunday's win over the Texans, and the team has its Week 8 bye to recover. With RB Tyrone Tracy Jr.'s surprise placement on IR on Tuesday, the beat writer's view is to 'wait and see where he's at' when the Giants return to practice next week; Skattebo missed chunks of time last offseason with a hamstring injury. The backfield was shaping up as an even split before Tracy left with a hamstring injury in the second quarter, with Skattebo at 14 snaps to Tracy's 11 at that point. As the game progressed, RB Devin Singletary took over as the third-down back while mixing in on early downs.

Broncos WR Jaylen Waddle aggravated his previous chest injury on a reverse in last Sunday's game against the Cardinals, sources said. His status for Sunday's game against the Chiefs will be determined at a later time, and his availability will be based on how practice goes.

Ravens WR Rashod Bateman checked in at No. 18 on ESPN's list of the league's top 25 possible trade candidates ahead of the deadline, compiled by Matt Bowen and Jeremy Fowler. They estimated Bateman's chances of being traded at 15% and listed the Commanders and Chiefs as potential fits. "Bateman has long been a bit miscast in Baltimore," Fowler wrote, adding that "rookie Ja'Kobi Lane is well-positioned for WR2 status in Baltimore." Bateman has 266 receiving yards through seven games this season.

Eagles TE Dallas Goedert did not take his normal workload in Monday night's loss to the Cowboys after missing two practices due to injury last week. He still ranked second on the team in targets with seven.

Bears rookie TE Sam Roush is expected to see more snaps with TE Cole Kmet out for the rest of the season after sustaining a knee injury in last Thursday's win over the Patriots. Roush is the only reserve tight end on the 53-man roster behind starter Colston Loveland. "We've been very pleased with the improvement that [Roush] has made over these first seven weeks, and so there's a high likelihood that his rep count is going to go up as a result of what's going on here," coach Ben Johnson said. Roush, a third-round pick out of Stanford, said, "I'll have to step up in the coming weeks, and I feel confident in my ability to do that."

The Raiders activated second-year WR Dont'e Thornton Jr. from injured reserve on Tuesday, releasing DT Jonah Laulu in a corresponding move. Thornton's practice window opened October 7, and the 21-day evaluation period was approaching its Wednesday deadline. Raiders coach Klint Kubiak repeatedly indicated Thornton needed to demonstrate he was ready to contribute, and the team declined to activate him for Sunday's loss to the Rams.

The Colts are trading DT DeForest Buckner to the 49ers. Buckner is a three-time Pro Bowler and is in his 11th NFL season.
| Footballguys view: Earlier on Tuesday, the Colts traded Quenton Nelson to the Seahawks. Buckner returns to the team that made him a 2016 first-round pick before dealing him to Indianapolis in 2020, adding some much-needed heft to the 49ers' defensive line. |

Packers WR Matthew Golden was listed as a non-participant on Tuesday's estimated practice report.
| Footballguys view: It is the second straight day Golden was estimated as DNP after also being listed that way on Monday. Golden was hurt in the second quarter of Sunday's loss to the Lions but returned and finished the game, so there's reason for some optimism. The Packers will file their final injury report for Thursday night's game on Wednesday. |

Ravens QB Lamar Jackson is expected to play against the Bills in Week 8 on Sunday, NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reported on Tuesday.
| Footballguys view: Jackson has missed the past three games with an ankle injury. He was limited in practice all of last week before being listed as questionable on Friday and then ruled out on Saturday for last Sunday's game against the Bengals. We'll be following this one closely all week. |

Bears RB Kyle Monangai (toe) was not on the practice field when the team returned to practice on Tuesday.
| Footballguys view: Monangai was ruled out of last Thursday's win over the Patriots. Because they play against the Seahawks in Seattle on Monday night this week, the Bears will not release their first injury report until Thursday. We'll be following up as needed. |

Colts RB Jonathan Taylor "isn't a lock to be traded," and a deal is "as of now, looking like a no."
| Footballguys view: The Colts, who dealt OL Quenton Nelson to the Seahawks earlier Tuesday, "surely aren't done" making moves, "but that doesn't mean everything must go," with ESPN's Adam Schefter sharing the same view on Taylor. There are "still two weeks left for things and minds to change" before the trade deadline. |

Panthers QB Bryce Young (knee) was listed as a full participant again on Tuesday's estimated injury report.
| Footballguys view: The Panthers held a walk-through on Tuesday because of the short week, so the report was a projection. Game statuses for Thursday's game at Green Bay come on Wednesday, but expect Young to start and play as usual. |

Panthers WR Jalen Coker (shoulder) was listed as a full participant on Tuesday's injury report after he was limited on Monday.
| Footballguys view: The Panthers held another walk-through on Tuesday because of the short week, so the report was a projection. The final report with game statuses for Thursday's game at Green Bay comes on Wednesday. Still, a positive trajectory (even estimated) is a good sign. We'll follow up after the injury report is released on Wednesday. |

Jaguars WR/CB Travis Hunter's snaps will not change dramatically after his best two-way game, head coach Liam Coen said on Monday. "Just keep chomping away at it," Coen said. "We're not going to over-rotate to a good game. There are a lot of games left in the season."
| Footballguys view: Hunter caught four passes for 59 yards and a touchdown and intercepted Texans QB C.J. Stroud in the end zone in the Week 6 loss to Houston, and Coen added that "last week you saw his impact and effect on games where he is playing more." It's going to take some time for fantasy investors to get a feel for how consistent Hunter's offensive opportunities might be. But with Brian Thomas Jr. struggling (and possibly being a trade candidate), proactively adding Hunter on a speculative basis makes sense. |

Giants RB Tyrone Tracy Jr. is being placed on injured reserve with the hamstring injury he suffered in Sunday's win over the Texans, GM Joe Schoen told reporters during his bye-week press conference on Tuesday. Schoen said it is not a long-term injury, but Tracy will miss four games.
| Footballguys view: Cam Skattebo is dealing with a minor hamstring issue that is expected to heal over the off week. Assuming he's fully healthy, Skattebo could benefit from more work in the passing game, in addition to the slight bump in snaps that is also likely to come. Devin Singletary will also benefit. |

The Bengals officially placed TE Erick All Jr. on injured reserve with a knee injury on Tuesday. Cincinnati brought back TE Cam Grandy to the 53-man roster from the Vikings' practice squad.
| Footballguys view: The team also placed rookie TE Josh Kattus on practice squad injured reserve and replaced him on the practice squad with TE Caden Prieskorn, a first-year player out of Ole Miss. The Bengals already put Tanner Hudson on injured reserve this season, so adding depth behind Mike Gesicki and Drew Sample was important. Of course, Gesicki is the lone fantasy-relevant option at the position here. |

Colts WR Keenan Allen is among the Indianapolis names to watch ahead of the trade deadline. The Colts are willing to listen to offers on everyone after agreeing to trade G Quenton Nelson to the Seahawks on Tuesday.
| Footballguys view: Allen has emerged as one of the Colts' most consistent offensive performers in recent weeks. He's been mentioned in reports suggesting the Bills would be interested. Allen is no longer the elite receiver he once was, but he is still a good veteran option and could be a safety net for Josh Allen. Stay tuned. |

Colts WR Josh Downs is among the Indianapolis names to watch ahead of the trade deadline. The Colts are willing to listen to offers on everyone after agreeing to trade G Quenton Nelson to the Seahawks on Tuesday.
| Footballguys view: ESPN's Adam Schefter points to Downs, DeForest Buckner, and Grover Stewart as players who could potentially be on the move. Downs has fallen short of expectations this season, but that seems more due to overall circumstances than any shortcomings on his part. We'll see if he draws legitimate interest. |

The Colts have agreed to trade eight-time Pro Bowl G Quenton Nelson to the Seahawks, a deal NFL Network's Ian Rapoport also reported on Tuesday. Nelson is on an expiring contract, and the Colts opted to get draft capital back now rather than risk losing him in free agency.
| Footballguys view: Seattle is poised to have five compensatory picks in 2027 and will also receive a third-round pick after executive Nolan Teasley became Minnesota's GM, flexibility that has allowed the team to be aggressive in the trade market. |
Cardinals rookie RB Jeremiyah Love will be back at practice on Wednesday, head coach Mike LaFleur said Monday. Love has missed the last two games with an ankle injury.
| Footballguys view: Love injured his right ankle in the preseason. He played through his left ankle injury, which he sustained in Week 4, before the Cardinals shut him down to let it heal. Bam Knight and Tyler Allgeier have replaced Love in the backfield. Love has 67 carries for 245 yards and a touchdown, and 11 catches for 36 yards and a touchdown. |

49ers RB Christian McCaffrey has a mild hamstring strain, head coach Kyle Shanahan said on Monday. The team believes McCaffrey will be fine coming out of the bye. "We're pretty optimistic," Shanahan said.
| Footballguys view: McCaffrey was hurt in Sunday's 29-20 loss to the Falcons, returned to the field after warming up before the third quarter, and said after the game, "I know I'll be alright." We'll be watching for more, but the real clarity will come when San Francisco hits the field to begin their Week 9 preparations. |

Eagles RB Saquon Barkley said his back flared up on his first run of Monday's loss to the Cowboys, noting that sometimes you overcompensate when dealing with a different injury. Barkley said his hamstring came out fine and he doesn't expect the back to keep him out. "Just can't find a way to finish the game. But yeah, banged up a little bit," Barkley said.
| Footballguys view: Barkley returned from a two-game absence only to be limited -- he spent time in the medical tent, on the exercise bike, and stretching on the sidelines. Still, he was effective. Barkley had seven carries for 62 yards and a touchdown and added two receptions for nine yards before the back injury sidelined him. Barkley became the first starter in the last 20 seasons to play at least nine offensive snaps in a game and get a touch on all of them. The Eagles play the Commanders in Week 8. We'll have more on Barkley in coming days. |

49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan said on Monday that he is hopeful WR Mike Evans (Achilles) will be back for the team's Week 9 game against the Raiders.
| Footballguys view: Evans was ruled out on Friday and missed Sunday's Week 7 game at Atlanta. We spoke with USA Today's Kyle Madson over the weekend, and he said the team expected Evans and Deebo Samuel to both be ready after the bye. Madson added that De'Zhaun Stribling and Demarcus Robinson could return soon as well. |

Panthers WR Jalen Coker (shoulder) was listed as limited on Monday's injury report. The Panthers held only a walk-through on Monday, so the report is an estimate, as they prepare for Thursday's Week 8 game at Green Bay.
| Footballguys view: The Panthers held only a walk-through on Monday, so the report is an estimate as they prepare for Thursday's Week 8 game at Green Bay. This is a new injury for Coker, so we'll be following up as needed, likely all the way through Thursday's kickoff. |

Packers WR Matthew Golden (shoulder) was among seven players on Green Bay's estimated injury report on Monday.
| Footballguys view: The Packers did not practice but released an estimated report because of the quick turnaround for Thursday's Week 8 game against the Panthers. Golden was hurt in the second quarter of Sunday's loss to the Lions but returned and finished the game. We'll be following up on his progress as needed, right up through Thursday's kickoff. |

Cardinals WR Jalen Brooks had surgery on Monday to repair the wrist he injured late in Sunday's loss to the Broncos, when he was tackled at the Denver 1-yard line at the end of a 35-yard catch. "Have to get an emergency surgery on my wrist. I don't need any phone calls. Just Prayer. I'll be done for the season," Brooks posted. He played in all seven games without a start, catching five of 17 targets for 81 yards, and his targets had increased after the Cardinals traded WR Marvin Harrison Jr. WR Simi Fehoko, who has mostly played special teams, will now fill Brooks' role on offense.

Bengals TE Erick All Jr. limped off the field in Sunday's win over the Ravens with an injury to his right knee, the same knee in which he had ACL surgery that sidelined him for a year and a half. Head coach Zac Taylor said Monday he is not sure of the extent of the injury, which came a week after TE Tanner Hudson (pectoral) was lost for the year. The Bengals signed TE Cam Grandy off the Vikings practice squad, Cincinnati's Channel 5's Charlie Clifford reported. "He's somebody we can rely on, somebody we've got a lot of trust in," Taylor said of Grandy. "He was really a make-it roster guy for us."
