Broncos | RJ Harvey not present at Friday's practice Fri Oct 30, 03:59 PM
Broncos RB RJ Harvey (knee) was not present at practice on Friday. Harvey popped up on the injury report as limited on Thursday, when he was seen for only a portion of the practice viewing period. Friday's injury report, with game designations for Sunday's game against the Chiefs, is due out Friday afternoon.
| Footballguys view: FP to LP to DNP isn't a good progression for any player in a week of practice, and Harvey's availability for Sunday is now officially in doubt. The Broncos play in the afternoon slate, so fantasy managers will have to plan accordingly. The best-case scenario is having J.K. Dobbins or Jonah Coleman as a pivot, as both would benefit from a Harvey absence. But you should pick up any other player in the late slate or primetime games. We'll hope for an update on Harvey after Friday's practice. |

Eagles | Saquon Barkley off injury report, 'good to go' Sunday night at Washington Fri Oct 30, 03:51 PM
Eagles RB Saquon Barkley (hamstring/back) is off the injury report and good to go for Sunday night's game against the Commanders. Earlier in the week Barkley had been tracking to miss the game, with no sign of him at Thursday's practice, before he was spotted at practice on Friday.
| Footballguys view: This is a bit of a surprise, since Barkley missed practice Wednesday and Thursday. The Eagles were down to Elijah Mitchell and Jaydon Blue after Tank Bigsby, Will Shipley, and Dameon Pierce all landed on IR. Barkley is expected to get the bulk of the work, and it remains to be seen whether and how the team will monitor his workload. He's a risky back-end RB2 this week. |

Titans | Tyjae Spears ruled out for Sunday at Bengals Fri Oct 30, 03:43 PM
Titans RB Tyjae Spears (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's Week 8 game at the Bengals. Spears did not practice Wednesday or Thursday this week.
| Footballguys view: Spears will miss his second straight game with this knee injury. Tony Pollard scored three touchdowns as the team's workhorse last week, while Michael Carter played as the team's RB2. Expect similar usage this week, though the matchup against the Bengals could be tougher than last week's against the Browns. |

Lions | Jahmyr Gibbs off injury report, 'good to go' for Week 8 Fri Oct 30, 03:33 PM
Lions RB Jahmyr Gibbs (shoulder) is off the injury report and good to go for Sunday's Week 8 game against the Vikings. Gibbs did not practice Wednesday before returning to practice Thursday.
| Footballguys view: Wednesday seemed to be a light practice, as quite a few veterans were off. Gibbs has logged back-to-back practices since then and can be relied on as an elite RB1 against the Vikings this week. |
Jahmyr Gibbs player page
Bears | Kyle Monangai does not practice again Friday Fri Oct 30, 03:25 PM
Bears RB Kyle Monangai (toe, thumb) did not participate in practice on Friday. Monangai was not practicing Wednesday, when he was on a bike in the weight room, and was listed as a non-participant on Thursday's estimated report. The Bears play at the Seahawks on Monday night.
| Footballguys view: With the Bears playing Monday night, fantasy managers should probably just prepare for the worst. Monangai hasn't played since Week 4, when he handled 31 touches. The injury he suffered in that game, turf toe, is notorious for lingering and flaring up. With a Week 10 bye, don't be surprised if Monangai sits the next two weeks and returns in Week 11 after the bye. D'Andre Swift is an RB1 with Monangai out, even with a touch matchup in Seattle this week. Roschon Johnson should get some relief work, and he's in the desperation flex range. |

Buccaneers | Kenny Gainwell listed as questionable for Week 8 Fri Oct 30, 02:09 PM
Buccaneers RB Kenny Gainwell (hip) was listed as questionable on Friday for Sunday's Week 8 game against the Falcons. Gainwell was back at practice on Thursday after his hip kept him out on Wednesday.
| Footballguys view: Gainwell exited last week's game with a hip injury but returned late in a blowout win. That injury kept him out of Wednesday's practice and has limited him since. Even if Gainwell is active, Bucky Irving has started to pull away with the backfield. Gainwell and Sean Tucker have some utility for desperate managers, with the former being the preferred guy in PPR leagues, but both backs would likely need an Irving injury to be preferred starters. |

Patriots | TreVeyon Henderson questionable for Sunday at Dolphins Fri Oct 30, 01:35 PM
Patriots RB TreVeyon Henderson (illness) is questionable for Sunday's game at the Dolphins, coach Mike Vrabel said on Friday. Henderson missed Thursday's practice with the illness.
| Footballguys view: Even if he's active, Henderson can't be trusted in lineups right now. He's averaging 34.4 scoreless yards per game over his last five outings. He's worth stashing in case Rhamondre Stevenson gets hurt, but the Patriots seem to be losing faith in him as ball security and pass blocking remain issues. He's a shaky RB4 if active. |

Cardinals | Jeremiyah Love will play Sunday against Cowboys, LaFleur says Fri Oct 30, 01:35 PM
Cardinals RB Jeremiyah Love will play Sunday against the Cowboys, head coach Mike LaFleur said on Friday. Love, who has been dealing with an ankle injury, was limited in practice on Thursday after missing the Cardinals' previous game.
| Footballguys view: After a two-week absence, Love will make his return. The rookie suffered a high ankle sprain this preseason, and his efficiency was trending down every week of the regular season as he worked through it. The Cardinals decided to put him on ice for a couple of weeks, and he'll hope to return healthy. He's a high-ceiling RB2 in fantasy lineups. The big question is how backup work will be split between Tyler Allgeier and Bam Knight. Knight has handily outplayed Allgeier over the last couple of weeks and earned a larger role. One of Knight or Allgeier could be inactive for this matchup, and savvy fantasy managers can drop the inactive back for a waiver option with a higher ceiling. |

Falcons | Brian Robinson Jr. ruled out for Week 8 against Buccaneers Fri Oct 30, 01:07 PM
Falcons RB Brian Robinson Jr. has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Buccaneers, his second straight missed game with a hamstring injury. Robinson is the only Falcons player ruled out. The Falcons elevated RB Khalil Herbert to replace Robinson in last Sunday's win over the 49ers, and Herbert played well in his first action with the team, particularly on special teams, where he returned two kicks for 65 yards.
| Footballguys view: Herbert was respectable with his three touches last week while Brian Robinson was sidelined, and he should maintain that role in Week 8. However, Bijan Robinson is the only running back who matters here. He's an elite RB1 this week against the Buccaneers, and only the most desperate managers should even consider Herbert, whose value will rely almost entirely on his unlikely ability to get into the end zone. |

Colts | Jonathan Taylor, a trade candidate, will play Sunday with usual workload Fri Oct 30, 12:55 PM
Colts RB Jonathan Taylor, a trade candidate, will play Sunday against the Jaguars, head coach Shane Steichen said on Friday. Taylor is expected to have the same workload as usual.

Colts | Jonathan Taylor practicing Friday amid trade speculation Fri Oct 30, 12:27 PM
Colts RB Jonathan Taylor was practicing on Friday. Taylor has been the subject of trade speculation, though head coach Shane Steichen said on Wednesday that Taylor has not requested a trade.
| Footballguys view: Taylor has scoffed at the idea of a rebuild. He's tried to ignore the trade speculation while maintaining his image as a consummate professional. The Colts remain steadfast in their desire to get a first-round pick in return, so a deal is unlikely unless they change their asking price. Fantasy managers should hope for a trade after the team shipped off Quenton Nelson. Taylor has proven to be a bit gamescipt-dependant in Indianapolis, and gamescripts are not expected to favor him for the rest of this season. He can be started as a back-end RB1 this week, but his floor is shaky if he can't score early. |

Eagles | Saquon Barkley 'out here' at Eagles practice Friday Fri Oct 30, 12:14 PM
Eagles RB Saquon Barkley, who has a hamstring injury, was 'out here' at the team's practice on Friday. Barkley was not seen at the Eagles' first practice of the week on Thursday. Earlier on Friday, he was reported to be tracking to miss Sunday night's game at the Commanders.

Titans | Tyjae Spears uncertain for Sunday at Bengals Fri Oct 30, 11:41 AM
Titans RB Tyjae Spears (knee) will not practice Friday and is in doubt for Sunday's Week 8 game at the Bengals. Spears also did not practice Wednesday or Thursday.
| Footballguys view: With Spears out and Tony Pollard's name swirling in trade discussions, Nick Singleton should be stashed in deep leagues. Michael Carter got the elevation last week and will likely be the one called up again on Sunday. But in what appears to be a lost season for the Titans, they might want to see what they have in their rookie late in the season. Pollard had a massive three-touchdown outing last week without Spears, and should see a similar workload this week against the Bengals. Start him as a high-end RB2. |

Jets | Breece Hall limited again in Friday practice Fri Oct 30, 10:42 AM
Jets RB Breece Hall (quadriceps) was limited in practice again on Friday. Hall was also limited on Wednesday and Thursday after missing last Sunday's game against the Dolphins. The Jets host the Raiders on Sunday.
| Footballguys view: Hall hasn't played since suffering a quadriceps injury in Week 3, and hopes to return this week. Hall logged two limited practices last week before being scratched on game day, so his practice participation this week doesn't guarantee a return. Braelon Allen has been fantastic in Hall's absence, so the Jets probably don't feel a need to rush Hall back. If Hall does return this week, it's not illogical to think Allen may remain involved to lessen Hall's load. At some point this year, Hall should get healthy enough to regain his role as the team's top back. If he's active this week, you can start him this week as a risky RB3. Allen's ranking as an RB2 or RB4 will be contingent on Hall's availability. |
Breece Hall player page
Eagles | Jaydon Blue 'will likely be active' Sunday night with Barkley yet to practice Fri Oct 30, 03:00 AM
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."
| Footballguys view: With Saquon Barkley, Tank Bigsby, Will Shipley, and Dameon Pierce all down, the Eagles will finally give Jaydon Blue a shot. Blue is a spark plug who can score from anywhere on the field. He lacks discipline and consistency, which likely explains why he's struggled to get playing time in his NFL career. But for desperate managers looking for a bye-week fill-in, Blue is likely available and could make his week with one big play. |

Packers | Josh Jacobs' legal matter closed, but NFL investigation still open Thu Oct 29, 07:53 PM
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.

Cardinals | Jeremiyah Love limited again Thursday Thu Oct 29, 07:16 PM
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. |

Seahawks | Jadarian Price limited in Thursday practice Thu Oct 29, 06:49 PM
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 | Zach Charbonnet a full participant in Thursday practice Thu Oct 29, 06:45 PM
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. |

Lions | Lions won't limit Jahmyr Gibbs' workload: 'He probably wants more' Thu Oct 29, 06:03 PM
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.

Broncos | J.K. Dobbins says reduced workload is about staying fresh, not losing starting job Thu Oct 29, 05:15 PM
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. |

Jets | Braelon Allen a full participant in Thursday's practice Thu Oct 29, 04:36 PM
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. |

Broncos | RJ Harvey present for only a portion of Thursday's practice viewing period Thu Oct 29, 04:20 PM
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. |

Bears | Kyle Monangai listed as DNP on Thursday's estimated report Thu Oct 29, 04:11 PM
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. |

Browns | Dylan Sampson upgraded to full practice on Thursday Thu Oct 29, 04:06 PM
Browns RB Dylan Sampson (knee) was a full participant in practice on Thursday. He had been limited on Wednesday.

Lions | Jahmyr Gibbs returns to practice Thursday, says 'I'm good' after shoulder issue Thu Oct 29, 04:04 PM
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. |

Jets | Breece Hall limited again in Thursday practice Thu Oct 29, 04:00 PM
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). |

Vikings | Aaron Jones returns to practice Thursday Thu Oct 29, 03:49 PM
Vikings RB Aaron Jones Sr. (knee) returned to practice on Thursday. Jones had been held out of practice on Wednesday, head coach Kevin O'Connell said. Jones has been playing through a sprained MCL since Week 2 and has been considered day to day. The Vikings play at the Lions on Sunday.
| Footballguys view: Jones is back in action, and that's a good sign for Week 8's game against the Lions. He's working in an RBBC with Jordan Mason, and Fantasy GMs should consider Jones more of a deep flex play in his current role. Mason is more of an RB3/flex play in his current role. Circle back Friday to see if Jones is still on track to play in Week 8. |

Commanders | Dan Quinn says Commanders will 'lean in more' on Austin Ekeler Thu Oct 29, 03:45 PM
Commanders head coach Dan Quinn said on Wednesday that the team plans a bigger role for RB Austin Ekeler with RB Jacory Croskey-Merritt on injured reserve. "Now that he's back, we'll need to lean in more, and he's able to handle a bigger workload now," Quinn said. "It's the right play." Ekeler averaged 7.3 yards per carry in his Week 4 return against the Colts but has carried the ball only four times since, and Croskey-Merritt is out for at least the next month.
| Footballguys view: Croskey-Merritt has been dealing with this groin injury all season long, and now he's going to get time to properly heal. That means the Commanders will be looking for guys like Ekeler to do more. Rachaad White rushed seven times for 27 yards in the Commanders' Week 6 loss to the 49ers, adding 30 yards and a touchdown on four receptions. After the Week 7 bye, we'll see if Ekeler gets more work with White in the Commanders' backfield. |

Falcons | Brian Robinson misses second straight practice with hamstring injury Thu Oct 29, 03:29 PM
Falcons RB Brian Robinson Jr. did not practice on Thursday because of a hamstring injury. It was his second straight missed practice, putting his availability for Sunday's game against the Buccaneers in question.
| Footballguys view: Khalil Herbert will get the work as the primary backup to Bijan Robinson is Brian Robinson has to miss another game. Herbert rushed two times for nine yards in the Falcons' Week 7 win over the 49ers. |

Patriots | TreVeyon Henderson in street clothes, absent from start of Thursday practice Thu Oct 29, 02:45 PM
Patriots RB TreVeyon Henderson walked out of the locker room in street clothes with a backpack on as reporters entered for scheduled media access on Thursday. Henderson was also absent from the beginning of Thursday's practice, Doug Kyed reported. Henderson returned from an ankle injury earlier this month.
| Footballguys view: Henderson is listed as "DNP" for Thursday's practice with an illness designation. That may not keep him out of the game in Week 8, but Fantasy GMs should circle back on Friday. We've got him as a flex play against the Dolphins on Sunday. |
TreVeyon Henderson player page
Seahawks | Jadarian Price designated for return to practice, could play Monday vs. Bears Thu Oct 29, 02:41 PM
Seahawks rookie RB Jadarian Price was designated for return to practice on Thursday, as head coach Mike Macdonald said would happen during his Monday press conference. Price, Seattle's first-round pick, has missed four games on injured reserve with a chest injury. Macdonald said it is possible that Price and RB Zach Charbonnet could play in Monday night's Week 8 game against the Bears, but no definitive decision on their availability had been made early in the week.
| Footballguys view: Price could be back sooner rather than later as he's coming back from the chest injury that forced him out the minimum four games. With the return of Zach Charbonnet as well, the Seahawks could be using both backs in an RBBC. When both are active, we'll have Price in the flex range from a fantasy perspective. |

Eagles | 'No sign' of Saquon Barkley at Eagles' first practice of the week Thu Oct 29, 02:15 PM
There was 'no sign' of Eagles RB Saquon Barkley at Thursday's practice, the team's first practice of the week. Barkley, who is dealing with hamstring and back injuries, was estimated as a non-participant on Wednesday.
| Footballguys view: Barkley is clearly on the wrong side of questionable for Sunday's game against the Commanders. The Eagles could be down to Jaydon Blue and Elijah Mitchell at the running back position if Barkley can't play. |

Buccaneers | Kenny Gainwell back at practice Thursday Thu Oct 29, 12:29 PM

Vikings | 'Some confidence' Aaron Jones will be available Sunday Thu Oct 29, 08:15 AM
There was some confidence on Wednesday that Vikings RB Aaron Jones Sr. (knee) will be available for Sunday's Week 8 game against the Lions. Jones had previously been called 'day to day' and has played with a sprained MCL since Week 2.
| Footballguys view: Jones has been playing with this for over a month, and the Vikings have given him quite the workload. With Jordan Mason back last week, the Vikings moved to more of an RBBC. That should help Jones as he continues to deal with - and likely play through - this knee problem. |
Aaron Jones Sr. player page
Eagles | Executives split on Saquon Barkley's trade value as Eagles may test market Thu Oct 29, 03:55 AM
Eagles RB Saquon Barkley is among the players Philadelphia may shop ahead of the November 10 trade deadline, as executives around the league believe the 2-5 Eagles will look to offload at least some contracts and clear cap space. One AFC executive said Barkley's lingering hamstring injury and the back injury he suffered in Monday's loss to the Cowboys will likely hamper his value, since teams more often trade for running backs to help in the same year. Two NFC executives debated Barkley's value, one thinking it could reach as high as an early second-round pick while the other estimated it closer to a fourth. DT Moro Ojomo, TE Dallas Goedert and CB Riq Woolen were also named as players the Eagles may test the market for.
| Footballguys view: Even with his lingering injuries, Barkley would have at least a few teams interested if he's available. The Eagles are always in the market because GM Howie Roseman is addicted to trading. We'll see if another team offers the Eagles enough to get Barkley. It's unlikely to take a premium pick (or picks) to get the veteran back. |

Eagles | Saquon Barkley estimated as non-participant Wednesday Wed Oct 28, 06:56 PM
Eagles RB Saquon Barkley (hamstring/back) would not have participated in practice on Wednesday, according to the team's estimated report. The Eagles held only a walk-through on Wednesday, so the report is an estimation. Philadelphia visits the Commanders on Sunday night in Week 8.
| Footballguys view: Barkley has been dealing with his hamstring injury since Week 4, but he picked up a back injury in Week 7. Let's see what Friday brings as the Eagles are incredibly thin at the running back position. Jaydon Blue is behind Barkley, and Elijah Mitchell is on their practice squad. |

Cardinals | Tyler Allgeier not on field for open portion of Wednesday practice Wed Oct 28, 06:05 PM
Cardinals RB Tyler Allgeier was not on the field during the open portion of Wednesday's practice. He was among a handful of Arizona players absent during the viewing window ahead of Sunday's game at Dallas.
| Footballguys view: Allgeier ran the ball eight times for 19 yards in the Cardinals' Week 7 loss to the Broncos, plus he had three catches for 30 yards. He's barely getting more work than Bam Knight, and Allgeier hasn't been much of a fantasy factor. We see him as a flex play if Jeremiyah Love has to miss more time. |

Browns | Dylan Sampson limited in Wednesday's practice Wed Oct 28, 05:41 PM
Browns RB Dylan Sampson (knee) was a limited participant in practice on Wednesday. The Browns visit the Steelers on Sunday.
| Footballguys view: Sampson played on offense last week for the first time in 2026, coming back from this knee injury. In Week 7, he had six rushes for 45 yards in the win against the Titans, adding three catches for 32 yards. Sampson is a flex play as the clear-cut receiving back for the Browns offense. |

Eagles | Dameon Pierce heading to IR, Eagles' top four RBs all hurt or on IR Wed Oct 28, 05:11 PM
Eagles RB Dameon Pierce is heading to injured reserve. Pierce joins RBs Tank Bigsby and Will Shipley on IR, while RB1 Saquon Barkley is dealing with back and hamstring injuries. Pierce was injured in the fourth quarter of Monday's loss to the Cowboys after taking on more of the workload with Barkley on a limited "pitch count" in his return.
| Footballguys view: Things are so thin behind Barkley -- and that's even if he's healthy enough to play. Behind Barkley is Jaydon Blue, and Elijah Mitchell is on the Eagles' practice squad. |

Texans | Texans claim Emari Demercado, 'not a good sign' for Montgomery after bye Wed Oct 28, 05:03 PM
The Texans were awarded RB Emari Demercado off waivers from the Cowboys on Wednesday. The beat writer called the claim "not a good sign for availability of David Montgomery (groin) after bye week." Texans RB Montgomery was ruled out for last Sunday's game against the Giants with the groin injury, and Houston is on its bye in Week 8.
| Footballguys view: The addition of Demercado could indicate the team doesn't think Montgomery will be ready after the bye. We'll see what the Texans' practice reports look like next week. |
