Bills | DJ Moore will practice 'in some capacity' Thursday Thu Nov 5, 01:35 PM
Bills WR DJ Moore will practice "in some capacity" on Thursday, head coach Joe Brady said. Moore had a knee scare late in Sunday's game against the Ravens but said afterward that he was OK.
| Footballguys view: Moore caught 4-of-7 targets for 82 yards and a touchdown in the Bills' Week 8 win over the Ravens. He's missed time this year for a shoulder issue, and this knee scare from Sunday is a bit of a concern. If healthy and out there on Monday against the Vikings, we see Moore as a WR2/flex option for Fantasy GMs. |

Giants RB Cam Skattebo (hamstring) was again working on the side with a trainer at practice on Thursday.
| Footballguys view: He also worked on the side with a trainer on Monday and Wednesday, and head coach John Harbaugh called him 'day-to-day' on Monday. The Giants may be going with Devin Singletary as their lead back if Skattebo needs more time. We'd like Singletary in the deep flex range if he gets the starting nod in Week 9 against the Eagles. |

Giants WR Malik Nabers was working on the side with a trainer at practice on Thursday. The Giants play at the Eagles on Sunday.
| Footballguys view: Nabers caught 7-of-11 targets for 111 yards in New York's Week 7 win over the Texans. The Giants had a bye in Week 8, and Nabers must've needed an extra day of rest. Given his workload and importance to this offense, it's wise for the Giants to have Nabers limit his practice reps. We like Nabers as a WR1 against the Eagles on Sunday. |

Vikings HC Kevin O'Connell said on Thursday that placing QB Kyler Murray on injured reserve is "not under consideration at all." O'Connell said Murray's hamstring injury is "not much more than a week-to-week kind of thing," but the team does not want to risk making it worse. QB Carson Wentz will start for Minnesota in Monday night's game against the Bills.
| Footballguys view: A week-to-week injury means it may be some time before we see Murray back out there for the Vikings. Wentz is the starter again, and the team is looking for a spark that Murray wasn't providing. If he didn't have the hamstring injury, Murray would be in line to be benched based on his play. |

Packers DE Micah Parsons practiced on Thursday, his second practice since his 21-day practice window opened on Wednesday. Parsons said Wednesday he had been 'cleared to go full go' and would be limited as part of his ramp-up.

Jets WR Garrett Wilson (concussion) was not seen during the stretching portion of Thursday's practice.
| Footballguys view: Wilson is in the concussion protocol and missed Wednesday's practice, with the team calling him 'day-to-day.' Two missed practices to open up the week is not a good sign for Wilson's availability. The Jets could be leaning on Omar Cooper and Adonia Mitchell more in Week 9. We doubt Wilson gets through the protocol on Friday, but circle back just in case. |

Seahawks QB Sam Darnold is out for Week 9 against the Cardinals after injuring his quad at the end of Monday night's game against the Bears. Head coach Mike Macdonald said Darnold also suffered a cracked rib when he took a hit on the second snap of that game, which Seattle lost 34-17.
| Footballguys view: Darnold is out for at least Week 9, and Drew Lock is the starter for the Seahawks. He's dealing with an elbow problem, so Seattle may have to play Jalen Milroe if Lock aggravates the injury. Some think Darnold is going to miss more than one game with these injuries. |

Texans RB David Montgomery (groin) remains out and will be sidelined for Sunday's Week 9 game at the Chargers. The Texans practiced indoors on Thursday.
| Footballguys view: Woody Marks gets another chance to impress, something that he hasn't done in two starts while Montgomery has been out. Good thing for Marks and the Texans is the hapless Chargers are the opponent in Week 9. We've got him as an RB2/flex option for Fantasy GMs in PPR formats. |

Commanders WR Treylon Burks (foot) was not seen at the start of practice on Thursday. Burks also did not practice on Wednesday. Washington hosts the Rams on Sunday.

49ers WR Mike Evans (Achilles) is unlikely to play Sunday against the Raiders, GM John Lynch said Thursday on KNBR. The team wants to be cautious with Evans' Achilles tendinitis after the Christian McCaffrey situation in 2024. Lynch indicated WRs Demarcus Robinson and KhaDarel Hodge will be available if they get through the week OK.
| Footballguys view: Getting Robinson back would be a boost for the 49ers, especially without Evans. Christian Kirk, Brandin Cooks, and Jordan Watkins are in line to get more looks as well. Let's circle back Friday just to be sure Robinson will return in Week 9. |

Cowboys TE Brevyn Spann-Ford played 65 offensive snaps and 14 on special teams, taking over the team's TE1 spot in the overtime loss to the Cardinals. He was targeted five times and made four catches for 31 yards, and added a special teams tackle. Span-Ford "appears to be the new TE1 in Dallas."
| Footballguys view: Spann-Ford caught 4-of-5 targets for 31 yards in Dallas' Week 8 loss to Arizona. That happened after Jake Ferguson suffered an ankle injury early against the Cardinals. Ferguson missed Wednesday's practice, and if he's out in Week 9 we like Spann-Ford as a TE2 with upside. |

The Las Vegas Raiders signed WR Cody White (Free Agent Signing) on Thursday.

Buccaneers WR Emeka Egbuka (foot) returned to the portion of practice open to the media on Thursday. Egbuka was not seen practicing during Wednesday's open portion and missed last Sunday's game against the Falcons with the foot injury. An update is expected following Thursday's practice.
| Footballguys view: We imagine Egbuka will be limited when the official practice report comes out. He's trending in the right direction, and the team has to see if there are any setbacks. Friday will be the day that most likely determines Egbuka's status. |

Browns QB Shedeur Sanders will likely start Sunday's game against the Saints, the beat writer reported on Thursday. Rookie WR Denzel Boston spoke Thursday about traits he admires in Sanders.
| Footballguys view: Deshaun Watson did not practice on Thursday as he goes through the league concussion protocol. Sanders is set to start against the Saints, and Fantasy GMs should consider him a QB2/streaming option if he's under center. |
Shedeur Sanders player page
49ers WR Mike Evans is "probably unlikely" to play in Sunday's Week 9 game against the Raiders, General Manager John Lynch said Thursday on KNBR, though he stopped short of ruling Evans out. Evans missed Week 7 with Achilles tendinitis and did not practice in the team's first post-bye session on Wednesday. Lynch referenced Christian McCaffrey's past issues with a similar injury and said the 49ers "don't want it to become something that really lingers" for Evans, because the goal is for him to be as impactful as he was early in the season.
| Footballguys view: A bye in Week 8 was not enough to get Evans healthy, and he needs more time to recover. With Demarcus Robinson set to return from IR this week, the 49ers could turn to him, Christian Kirk, Brandin Cooks, and Jordan Watkins at the wide receiver position. |

Falcons RB Brian Robinson Jr. (hamstring) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, the team's first full practice in Madrid ahead of Sunday's game against the Bengals. The Falcons held only a walkthrough Wednesday after landing, and nothing changed from Wednesday's estimated report, where Robinson was also listed as limited.
| Footballguys view: Robinson has been out of action for the last two weeks with this hamstring injury. Let's see what he does on Friday, but Robinson is trending towards playing in Week 9. He'll be the primary backup to Bijan Robinson if active. |
Brian Robinson Jr player page
Vikings QB Carson Wentz could start Monday night against the Bills in place of QB Kyler Murray, who is dealing with a hamstring injury. "It sounds like it is trending towards Carson Wentz starting Monday night," ESPN's Adam Schefter said on Thursday. Murray's hamstring was tight on Sunday and "sore" on Monday, per head coach Kevin O'Connell, with a "full eval" to follow, and offensive coordinator Wes Phillips noted the uncertainty on Tuesday. The Vikings hold their first practice of the week on Thursday.
| Footballguys view: Murray has a hamstring injury, and the team needs to find a spark at the quarterback position. Wentz has never seen a coverage he doesn't like, and that mentality is what Fantasy GMs are looking for. Justin Jefferson and Jordan Addison can do more with a quarterback willing to attack a defense. |

The Colts have received "plenty of calls" on several players, including RB Jonathan Taylor, WR Josh Downs and DT Grover Stewart. The belief around the league is that, barring an offer that blows them away, Indianapolis plans to wait until after Sunday's game against the Cowboys before revisiting the offers on the table. The Colts would then make "the trades that make sense" on Monday and Tuesday ahead of the trade deadline.
| Footballguys view: Taylor is going to bring the Colts a haul, and there is likely a bidding war going on behind the scenes. At this time, reports indicate the Colts are going to wait until after Sunday to deal him. We're likely to see Taylor dealt before Tuesday's trade deadline. |

Jaguars RB Bhayshul Tuten's injuries are putting his status for Thursday night's game at the Ravens in jeopardy. Tuten is officially questionable with an ankle injury after missing practice all week.

The Bengals are one of a few teams "aggressively pursuing" Colts RB Jonathan Taylor ahead of Tuesday's trade deadline, NFL insider Jordan Schultz reported, though no deal with any team appears imminent. The Colts have started a fire sale following the firing of general manager Chris Ballard, and Taylor is widely expected to be moved before the deadline, but Indianapolis appears firm on getting top-tier value for him. Cincinnati's passing game has been productive, while its running game has struggled this season. CBS broadcaster J.J. Watt said the Bengals "make sense for a guy like him because of what their offense has in terms of the passing game and they just haven't been able to get going on the ground."
| Footballguys view: The Bengals have one of the league's best passing attacks, and adding Taylor would make their offense even more deadly. Taylor is set to play in Week 9 even though he's likely to be dealt before the trade deadline on Tuesday. |

Buccaneers RB Kenny Gainwell was limited in practice on Wednesday with a hip injury. Gainwell was listed as questionable with the hip injury for last Sunday's game against the Falcons before being cleared to play, and he ran for 140 yards in the win.

Seahawks QB Drew Lock was a limited participant in practice on Wednesday with a right elbow injury. Head coach Mike Macdonald said QB Sam Darnold will be out for Sunday's game against the Cardinals with a quad injury he suffered late in Monday's game. Lock was the emergency QB for Monday night's game because of the elbow injury.

Bears RB Kyle Monangai (toe, thumb) was listed as a non-participant on the team's estimated injury report on Wednesday. Monangai was ruled out of Monday's game against the Seahawks, his fourth straight missed game. RB Zavier Scott (wrist) was also listed as a non-participant.

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.

49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan confirmed on Wednesday that San Francisco tried to trade for Vikings WR Jauan Jennings and that Minnesota was amenable, but Jennings preferred to stay. "It wasn't, like, a definite no at first," Shanahan said. "But he was like, 'Man, Kyle, I'm pretty happy. I'm liking stuff.'" Shanahan disputed Fox's Jay Glazer's Sunday report that Jennings turned down a FaceTime with team brass, saying "He FaceTimed me... It was a good talk," and added there was no "bad blood." Jennings has six catches on 10 targets in six games with Minnesota.

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. |
Matthew Stafford player page
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. |
