Dolphins | Caleb Douglas (ankle) 'unlikely to play' Sunday against Bengals Fri Oct 9, 11:01 AM
Dolphins rookie WR Caleb Douglas (ankle) is unlikely to play Sunday against the Bengals, head coach Jeff Hafley said on Friday. Douglas worked on the side during practice on Thursday after not practicing on Wednesday.
| Footballguys view: It's a shame that Douglas is dealing with this injury, as the rookie was a bright spot early in the season on an otherwise disappointing Dolphins offense. Chris Bell and Malik Washington have been the top targets, with complementary skill sets as deep and short targets, respectively. |

Eagles | Sirianni expects Dontayvion Wicks (hamstring) to practice Friday Fri Oct 9, 10:57 AM
Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni said Friday that he expects WR Dontayvion Wicks (hamstring) to practice that day. Sirianni confirmed Wicks got hurt in Thursday's session, when he was added to the injury report as a limited participant. The Eagles visit the Jaguars on Sunday.
| Footballguys view: The Eagles are down a lot of weapons this week, and Dontayvion Wicks could be their top receiver. Wicks wasn't on Wednesday's injury report, but popped up Thursday as a limited participant with a hamstring injury. Assuming he's active, he's a shaky WR3. Expect the Eagles to lean on their run game as much as possible to control the clock against a strong Jaguars team. |

Jets | Adonai Mitchell (finger) ruled out for Week 5 vs. Browns Fri Oct 9, 10:42 AM
The Jets have ruled out WR Adonai Mitchell (finger) for Sunday's game against the Browns. Mitchell did not practice Wednesday or Thursday and will miss another game.
| Footballguys view: Mitchell is expected to miss a few weeks after sustaining an injury in practice before Week 3's game. He got off to a hot start this year, but he needs to fully recover before returning. In his absence, expect Isaiah Williams to be the team's secondary receiver alongside Garrett Wilson. In what is projects to be a low-scoring matchup against the Browns, Wilson is the only viable Jets receiver outside of very deep leagues. |

Buccaneers | Baker Mayfield 'pushing to play' vs. Steelers, too early to know medically Thu Oct 8, 10:25 PM
Buccaneers QB Baker Mayfield could return for the Week 6 game against the Steelers on October 18. Mayfield is pushing to play, but with the game 10 days away it is too early for the Bucs to know medically whether he can go. The stitches in his thumb were removed on Monday, and his return is a matter of the thumb healing, his pain tolerance and his ability to grip the football. The medical staff will have a big say in whether he plays.

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. |

Bears | Kyle Monangai dealing with turf toe, availability uncertain for 1-2 weeks Thu Oct 8, 05:10 PM
Bears RB Kyle Monangai is dealing with a turf toe injury that places uncertainty around his availability over the next one to two weeks. Monangai is hoping to play through it, and the team and player are still managing the situation. He has missed practice on Wednesday and Thursday this week. Monangai ranks seventh in the NFL with 324 rushing yards.

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 Thu Oct 8, 04:17 PM
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. |

Saints | Chris Olave limited Thursday with a 'foot' injury Thu Oct 8, 04:16 PM
Saints WR Chris Olave was limited in practice on Thursday with a "foot" injury. Olave returned to practice after not practicing on Wednesday.
| Footballguys view: Olave's absence Wednesday was listed as a "rest" day. Now, he's got a "foot" problem that popped up. Make sure he's practicing on Friday before starting him as a WR1 against the Vikings in Week 5. |

Saints | RB Alvin Kamara (back) limited in Thursday's practice Thu Oct 8, 04:15 PM
Saints RB Alvin Kamara (back) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.
| Footballguys view: Kamara left Week 4's game with a knee injury that checked out. Now, he's been limited due to a back issue. The veteran back is up against the Vikings in Week 5, making him a flex option. |

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 Zach Charbonnet (knee) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.
| Footballguys view: Charbonnet is working his way back from the knee injury that cut his season short last year. He's been ruled out for Week 5, but a return in Week 6 is possible. He should have already been stashed off the waiver wire. |

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. |

Chargers | WR Ladd McConkey (foot) did not practice Thursday Thu Oct 8, 03:15 PM
Chargers WR Ladd McConkey (foot) did not participate in Thursday's practice.
| Footballguys view: The Chargers are at home to take on the Broncos in Week 5. They do have a bye coming up in Week 7, so McConkey might miss more time just to get closer to 100 percent if he misses Sunday's game. It's a reaggravation of his foot injury, so Jim Harbaugh considers McConkey day-to-day. |

| Footballguys view: Love is not 100 percent, but he's trending toward playing against the Lions on Sunday. We like him as an RB2/flex option for Fantasy GMs in PPR formats. Tyler Allgeier could give him a breather more often if the talented rookie back needs to be on a snap count. |
