Bam Knight and Tyler Allgeier have replaced Love in the backfield. Love has 67 carries for 245 yards and a touchdown, and 11 catches for 36 yards and a touchdown. |

49ers | Christian McCaffrey has 'mild' hamstring strain, team 'pretty optimistic' post-bye Tue Oct 27, 01:07 AM
49ers RB Christian McCaffrey has a mild hamstring strain, head coach Kyle Shanahan said on Monday. The team believes McCaffrey will be fine coming out of the bye. "We're pretty optimistic," Shanahan said.
| Footballguys view: McCaffrey was hurt in Sunday's 29-20 loss to the Falcons, returned to the field after warming up before the third quarter, and said after the game, "I know I'll be alright." We'll be watching for more, but the real clarity will come when San Francisco hits the field to begin their Week 9 preparations. |

Eagles | Saquon Barkley doesn't expect back injury to keep him out, hamstring 'came out fine' Tue Oct 27, 12:33 AM
Eagles RB Saquon Barkley said his back flared up on his first run of Monday's loss to the Cowboys, noting that sometimes you overcompensate when dealing with a different injury. Barkley said his hamstring came out fine and he doesn't expect the back to keep him out. "Just can't find a way to finish the game. But yeah, banged up a little bit," Barkley said.
| Footballguys view: Barkley returned from a two-game absence only to be limited -- he spent time in the medical tent, on the exercise bike, and stretching on the sidelines. Still, he was effective. Barkley had seven carries for 62 yards and a touchdown and added two receptions for nine yards before the back injury sidelined him. Barkley became the first starter in the last 20 seasons to play at least nine offensive snaps in a game and get a touch on all of them. The Eagles play the Commanders in Week 8. We'll have more on Barkley in coming days. |

49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan said on Monday that he is hopeful WR Mike Evans (Achilles) will be back for the team's Week 9 game against the Raiders.
| Footballguys view: Evans was ruled out on Friday and missed Sunday's Week 7 game at Atlanta. We spoke with USA Today's Kyle Madson over the weekend, and he said the team expected Evans and Deebo Samuel to both be ready after the bye. Madson added that De'Zhaun Stribling and Demarcus Robinson could return soon as well. |

Panthers WR Jalen Coker (shoulder) was listed as limited on Monday's injury report. The Panthers held only a walk-through on Monday, so the report is an estimate, as they prepare for Thursday's Week 8 game at Green Bay.
| Footballguys view: The Panthers held only a walk-through on Monday, so the report is an estimate as they prepare for Thursday's Week 8 game at Green Bay. This is a new injury for Coker, so we'll be following up as needed, likely all the way through Thursday's kickoff. |

Cardinals | Jalen Brooks has wrist surgery, 'done for the season'; Fehoko to fill his role Mon Oct 26, 10:59 PM
Cardinals WR Jalen Brooks had surgery on Monday to repair the wrist he injured late in Sunday's loss to the Broncos, when he was tackled at the Denver 1-yard line at the end of a 35-yard catch. "Have to get an emergency surgery on my wrist. I don't need any phone calls. Just Prayer. I'll be done for the season," Brooks posted. He played in all seven games without a start, catching five of 17 targets for 81 yards, and his targets had increased after the Cardinals traded WR Marvin Harrison Jr. WR Simi Fehoko, who has mostly played special teams, will now fill Brooks' role on offense.

Bengals | Erick All Jr. injures surgically repaired knee, Bengals sign TE Cam Grandy Mon Oct 26, 08:15 PM
Bengals TE Erick All Jr. limped off the field in Sunday's win over the Ravens with an injury to his right knee, the same knee in which he had ACL surgery that sidelined him for a year and a half. Head coach Zac Taylor said Monday he is not sure of the extent of the injury, which came a week after TE Tanner Hudson (pectoral) was lost for the year. The Bengals signed TE Cam Grandy off the Vikings practice squad, Cincinnati's Channel 5's Charlie Clifford reported. "He's somebody we can rely on, somebody we've got a lot of trust in," Taylor said of Grandy. "He was really a make-it roster guy for us."

Raiders | Jack Bech designated to return from injured reserve Mon Oct 26, 04:21 PM
The Raiders designated WR Jack Bech (forearm) to return to practice from injured reserve on Monday. Bech fractured his forearm in late September, head coach Klint Kubiak confirmed at the time.
| Footballguys view: Bech has been out with a broken forearm suffered in the Week 3 victory over the Saints. Bech now has 21 days to practice before he must be added to the 53-man roster. In his second season, Bech caught five passes for 48 yards with a touchdown before suffering the injury. As a rookie in 2025, Bech caught 20 passes for 224 yards. With a lack of high-end depth at wideout, Bech, an excellent blocker, could resume a contributing role in short order. |

Raiders | Kirk Cousins remains starter; Mendoza will play 'at some point,' not this week Mon Oct 26, 03:54 PM
Raiders head coach Klint Kubiak opened his press conference on Monday by saying, before anyone could ask, that QB Kirk Cousins is the team's starter. "Fernando is going to play at some point, but it's not going to be this week," Kubiak said of QB Fernando Mendoza. Kubiak also said Cousins is playing at a very high level.
| Footballguys view: Through seven games, Cousins has thrown for 1,877 yards, a league-leading 16 touchdowns, and five interceptions. He has thrown seven TDs in the past four games (all losses) after nine in the first three (all wins). But Cousins is not this team's biggest problem, and Kubiak knows that. It doesn't mean the Raiders won't make a switch at some point. But all indications are that the team would like to hold off on throwing Mendoza into the fray as long as possible. |

Lions | Amon-Ra St. Brown not expected to practice Wednesday Mon Oct 26, 03:51 PM
Lions WR Amon-Ra St. Brown is not expected to practice on Wednesday after coming out of Sunday's win over the Packers with an ankle injury, head coach Dan Campbell said on Monday.
| Footballguys view: Campbell said there was optimism that St. Brown would be able to play in Sunday's home game against the Vikings, but that the wideout's practice work would be managed to keep him on track. St. Brown had nine catches for 153 yards while playing 78 percent of the offensive snaps. We'll follow this situation closely as the week progresses. |

Patriots | Rhamondre Stevenson held out of Monday's bonus practice as Patriots manage veterans Mon Oct 26, 03:36 PM

| Footballguys view: TE Hunter Henry, CB Marcus Jones, DE Dre'Mont Jones, LB Christian Elliss, LB Robert Spillane, S Kevin Byard, and OT Morgan Moses were also absent. We'll keep a close eye on practice reports when the team gets back on the field Wednesday. |

Ravens | Lamar Jackson in 'decent spot' to play Week 8 at Bills, more known Wednesday Mon Oct 26, 03:08 PM
Ravens head coach Jesse Minter said on Monday that QB Lamar Jackson will be in a "decent spot" as far as playing Sunday in Buffalo, but the team will know more about Jackson's status on Wednesday, ESPN's Jamison Hensley reported.
| Footballguys view: Jackson, who's missed the last three games, returned to work on a limited basis last week. After Friday's practice, Jackson didn't look like a quarterback who was close to full strength, limping to the lectern for his media session. He was also not seen as players walked off the field Friday, which suggests he did not finish practice. Jackson said Friday that he was "heading in the right direction" and the decision would come down to pain tolerance. It's reasonable to hope the improvement continues as preparations to take on the Bills begin. Expect regular updates all week. |

Bengals head coach Zac Taylor said on Monday that the team will need to get more information before making any comments on TE Erick All Jr.'s knee injury.
| Footballguys view: All has played a role on offense when healthy, but he's struggled to stay on the field. The Bengals already put Tanner Hudson on injured reserve this season, so depth behind Mike Gesicki and Drew Sample continues to look shaky. We'll continue to watch for more on this. |

Cardinals | WR Jalen Brooks to undergo season-ending wrist surgery Mon Oct 26, 02:35 PM
Cardinals WR Jalen Brooks announced on social media on Monday that he will undergo season-ending wrist surgery.
| Footballguys view: Brooks has taken on an expanded role since the Marvin Harrison Jr. trade moved him up the depth chart. He is tied for fourth on the Cardinals this season with 17 targets. Without Brooks, the Cardinals have five active wide receivers and two more on the practice squad. Michael Wilson (37), Kendrick Bourne (25), and Reggie Virgil (2) are the only members of that group with a catch this season. The other receivers are Devin Duvernay, Simi Fehoko, Shedrick Jackson (on the practice squad), and Harrison Wallace III (also on the practice squad). |

Jets | Aaron Glenn calls Garrett Wilson sideline outburst 'overblown' Mon Oct 26, 01:15 PM
Jets head coach Aaron Glenn said on Monday that WR Garrett Wilson's sideline outburst during Sunday's 28-25 loss to the Dolphins was "overblown" by the media. It was Glenn's first comment on the incident. Glenn added that "it's going to get noisy" for the Jets.
| Footballguys view: CBS cameras caught a frustrated Wilson, targeted only three times, screaming in the direction of Geno Smith. Afterward, Wilson said he wasn't directing his ire at Smith. The target appeared to be passing-game coordinator Seth Ryan, who was seated next to the QB. "We were collaborating," said Wilson, who finished with only two catches for 26 yards, one week after a quiet game against the Patriots. The coaches spoke about the importance of getting Wilson involved in the offense, and yet it took until the third quarter before he was targeted. |

Commanders | Quinn doesn't expect larger Diggs role with McLaurin out, mentions Antonio Williams Mon Oct 26, 01:14 PM
Commanders head coach Dan Quinn said on Monday that he doesn't anticipate WR Stefon Diggs taking on a larger role with WR Terry McLaurin out.
| Footballguys view: Quinn indicated the change will come with usage elsewhere and mentioned rookie WR Antonio Williams. TE Chig Okonkwo and WR Treylon Burks are also candidates to do more. McLaurin suffered a torn patellar tendon and is done for the season. |

Commanders | Treylon Burks expected to be limited at start of practice week Mon Oct 26, 01:03 PM
Commanders WR Treylon Burks is expected to be limited in practice at the start of this week, according to head coach Dan Quinn's comments on Monday. Washington returns from its bye week.
| Footballguys view: Burks move up in the rotation after Terry McLaurin went down with a knee injury during the team's Week 6 game. Burks drew six targets coming off the bench in that game, and he could continue playing a more significant role with McLaurin out for the season. We'll follow up on his status as the week progresses. In the meantime, proactively adding Burks is a good idea if there's room on your roster for a speculative play. |

Seahawks | Seahawks to open Jadarian Price's 21-day practice window this week Mon Oct 26, 12:59 PM
The Seahawks will open the 21-day practice window for rookie RB Jadarian Price this week, head coach Mike Macdonald said on Monday. Price has been on injured reserve with a chest injury. There was no word on his status for next Monday night's Week 8 game against the Bears.
| Footballguys view: According to CBSSports.com, Seattle will likely make the transaction official Thursday, when the team will hold its first practice ahead of next Monday's game against the Bears. With the 21-day window, the team won't rush a decision on his return. Whenever he's activated, Price could be part of a backfield committee with Zach Charbonnet (knee) -- who appears to be trending toward making his 2026 debut versus Chicago -- and potentially Emanuel Wilson and George Holani. |

Seahawks | 'Early returns are positive' on Rashid Shaheed's knee injury Mon Oct 26, 12:54 PM
Seahawks head coach Mike Macdonald said on Monday that the "early returns are positive" on WR Rashid Shaheed's knee injury, speaking on Seattle Sports radio. Shaheed left Sunday's win over the Chiefs with the injury and did not return.
| Footballguys view: Shaheed had to exit Sunday's win after the first half with the injury. Shaheed is averaging 11.5 yards per punt return and 27.3 yards per kick return so far this season. He's also caught 16 passes for 163 yards and taken four carries for 39 yards with a touchdown. Seattle does have an extra day to prepare, as the club will face the Bears on Monday night in Week 8. |

Texans | Caserio on Stroud contract: 'Couldn't quite come to agreement,' 'nobody is discouraged' Mon Oct 26, 11:20 AM
Texans GM Nick Caserio said Monday that the team and QB C.J. Stroud "couldn't quite come to agreement" on a contract extension. "There wasn't any reluctance," Caserio said. "Nobody is discouraged. Have a lot of respect for C.J. and David (Mulugheta). At some point, it will take care of itself."
| Footballguys view: The 25-year-old Stroud is playing out the season on the final year of his four-year, $36.28 million rookie contract, and Houston already picked up his $25.9 million fully guaranteed fifth-year option for 2027. While Stroud has been great for fantasy managers, he's currently QB7 with 1,867 passing yards, 11 touchdowns, and one interception; Houston is just 2-5 after entering the season considered to be among the Super Bowl favorites. Stroud and the Texans will use the bye week to regroup before returning in Week 9 to try to get their season back on track. |

Vikings | Aaron Jones 'day to day', had played with sprained MCL since Week 2 Mon Oct 26, 11:03 AM
Vikings RB Aaron Jones Sr. had been playing with a sprained left MCL since Week 2 before suffering a knee injury in Sunday's win over the Colts. The latest knee injury is not considered significant at this time, and a source described Jones as "day to day," ESPN's Adam Schefter reported on Monday.
| Footballguys view: While the news is positive, Jones will continue to deal with this injury. Meanwhile, Jordan Mason averaged 4.5 yards per carry in his return from IR Sunday and was likely to play a more robust role in the coming weeks regardless of Jones' health. Expect that trend to continue when the Vikings take on the Lions in Week 8. |

Packers | Zaire Franklin dealing with 'hairline fracture' Mon Oct 26, 11:00 AM
Packers LB Zaire Franklin is dealing with a hairline fracture. Franklin had been ruled out of Sunday's game against the Lions after taking a knee to the shin in practice.

Broncos | J.K. Dobbins fades after first drive as Jonah Coleman leads RBs in snaps Mon Oct 26, 08:56 AM
Broncos RB J.K. Dobbins had 3 carries for 15 yards on Denver's first drive of Sunday's game against the Cardinals, then just 3 carries for 8 yards over the team's final nine drives.
| Footballguys view: Rookie RB Jonah Coleman, back from injured reserve, led the Broncos' running backs with 30 offensive snaps (49%). RB RJ Harvey played 16 snaps and Dobbins 14. The good news is Dobbins salvaged his day with a goal-line touchdown run. While Dobbins will still have some value, Coleman appears to be on a path to lead this backfield down the stretch. |

Broncos | Rookie Jonah Coleman leads Broncos RBs with 30 snaps in return from IR Mon Oct 26, 07:23 AM
Broncos rookie RB Jonah Coleman led the team's running backs with 30 offensive snaps (49%) in Sunday's win over the Cardinals, his first game back after being activated from injured reserve. RB RJ Harvey played 16 snaps and RB J.K. Dobbins played 14.
| Footballguys view: As Pro Football Focus reminded readers, Coleman, in his first game back from a stint on IR, led the backfield in snaps on early downs, third downs, and in short-yardage situations. He averaged 6.0 yards per carry, compared to 3.8 for Dobbins and 2.0 for Harvey. However, Harvey scored a receiving touchdown, while Dobbins handled the team's lone goal-line snap and turned it into a rushing touchdown. Given the workload, Coleman is a clear top waiver-wire target this week in any league where he remains available. |

Dolphins | Ollie Gordon plays 54 snaps to Jaylen Wright's 8 in win over Jets Mon Oct 26, 06:49 AM
Dolphins RB Ollie Gordon II played 54 offensive snaps in Sunday's Week 7 win over the Jets. RB Jaylen Wright played eight snaps. Gordon ran for 103 yards and a touchdown in the game.
| Footballguys view: Wright suffered a quad injury late in the third quarter and was unable to return, but Gordon has been the featured back for Miami since De'Von Achane's season-ending injury, playing 71% of snaps from Weeks 3-5. While part of that has been Gordon playing well, some of that has also been Wright dealing with a foot injury. Gordon ended Sunday with 25 carries for 103 yards and a touchdown. As Pro Football Focus suggests, he will remain a must-start option at running back until someone steps up and takes some of Gordon's playing time. |

Browns | Judkins, Sampson 'handle all the work' in Browns backfield in return Mon Oct 26, 05:57 AM
Browns RBs Quinshon Judkins and Dylan Sampson handled all of the work in the backfield in Sunday's 27-24 win over the Titans, their first game back. Judkins ran for 96 yards and two touchdowns in the win.
| Footballguys view: As Pro Football Focus suggested, the Browns' running back distribution resembles what most people expected heading into the season. Judkins was the lead back on early downs, dominating short-yardage and goal-line snaps, while Sampson was the principal backup and clear passing-down back. Judkins remains the fantasy-viable option and was especially effective Sunday, hitting new season-high marks for rushing yards and TDs while tearing through Tennessee's defense for 96 yards and two touchdowns on 17 carries, providing Cleveland's offense with a much-needed running threat to balance the unit. |

Raiders | Kubiak will evaluate everything, including who starts at QB Mon Oct 26, 01:52 AM
Amid a four-game losing streak, Raiders coach Klint Kubiak said the team is evaluating everything, including looking toward the future by starting No. 1 pick Fernando Mendoza over Kirk Cousins. "We have to go watch the film," Kubiak said after a 35-21 loss to the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday. "We've got to talk about all of it."
| Footballguys view: Through seven games, Cousins has thrown for 1,877 yards, a league-leading 16 touchdowns and five interceptions. He has thrown seven TDs in the past four games after nine in the first three. To be clear, Cousins is not this team's biggest problem. But he's understood the reality of his situation since the team drafted Mendoza with the first pick in April's draft. If the losses begin to pile up, the likelihood of the team turning to the Heisman Trophy winner will increase. Stay tuned. |
