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. |

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. |

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. |

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. |

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 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. |

Seahawks QB Drew Lock was a limited participant in practice on Wednesday with a right elbow injury.
