One day, we will talk about news that is not based on injuries.
Today is not that day.
Where is the NFL Dynasty landscape moving heading into Week 5?
Joe Mixon: Not A Seahawk
As it turns out, the Seahawks decided not to sign veteran running back Joe Mixon to their practice squad after he underwent a physical for the team, per league source. Mixon will remain a free agent. https://t.co/0blouVwvPU

Mixon’s comeback attempt from a foot injury hit a snag after Mixon failed a physical.
Obviously, Mixon’s name generates the headline.
This story is less about Mixon and more about the current Seattle backfield. Jadarian Price was placed on IR with a chest injury he played through in Week 3. His ball security issues were quickly becoming a headlining story. Meanwhile, there was positive news around Zach Charbonnet, who was spotted working at Seahawks practice. Except his legs were entirely different sizes.
Right now, the team is down to just Emanuel Wilson and George Holani. Wilson looked capable of carrying the weight against the Chargers in Week 4. As it stands, Wilson is a fantasy starter with a run away to solidify a role.
The Eagles Are Down Everyone
#Eagles RB Saquon Barkley is considered week-to-week with his hamstring injury, per me and @MikeGarafolo. It’s not considered to be a long-term injury. https://t.co/WvZgowe7Hs

The current list of Eagles projected out for Week 5:
Perhaps there is solace in knowing A.J. Brown is also on IR?
The 49ers' injury woes have been a story, but Brock Purdy is still throwing to Christian McCaffrey, George Kittle, Deebo Samuel Sr., and Mike Evans (kind of).
Will Shipley, Makai Lemon, Dontayvion Wicks, and Darius Cooper are the pieces we are watching right now. The Eagles face Jacksonville, Carolina, and Dallas over the next three weeks. For now, simply staying afloat until some pieces are back is the reality.
Oh, and Lane Johnson just announced a surprise retirement.
Lamar Jackson
#Ravens QB Lamar Jackson is dealing with a sprained ankle that gives him only an outside chance to play Sunday against the #Falcons, sources say. Jackson could end up missing multiple games based on how rehab goes, but the injury is not considered long-term or surgical. https://t.co/pIKU5IfA3J

The Ravens have flashed moments of the NFL's most explosive offense. The issue is, they have only been moments. Zay Flowers has been in and out of the lineup. Now, Jackson looks likely to miss time.
Jackson has played a full season three times in his nine-year career. We will likely not get one in 2026.
The Bears and Giants are a combined 4-0 without their franchise quarterbacks in 2026. The Ravens' Week 5 opponent, Atlanta, has seen the unfortunate side of losing their quarterback. The Ravens and all of fantasy football have to hope for the good version of Tyler Huntley.
