Link to storyChicago Bears RB D'Andre Swift had 14 carries for 108 yards against the Washington Commanders in Week 6. He also had two receptions (on three targets) for 67 yards and a touchdown.
Footballguys view: As ESPN.com noted, Swift came into Week 5 averaging 3.3 yards per carry. Just like last season against the Commanders, Swift broke through against Washington with a season high rushing yards while finally generating the chunk plays (7.7yards per carry) the Bears' run game had been looking for. Chicago's lead rusher also came away with the second-longest reception of his career, a short pass that he took 55 yards down the Commanders' sideline for a touchdown in the fourth quarter. The Bears play the Saints in Week 7. |

San Francisco 49ers TE George Kittle (hamstring) hopefully will be able to participate in practice this week, according to head coach Kyle Shanahan.
Footballguys view: Kittle, who has been on injured reserve since Week 2 because of a strained right hamstring, will begin his 21-day practice window this week with a chance to play against the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday night. "That's the hope," Shanahan said. We'll be following up on Kittle's progress as the week progresses. |

San Francisco 49ers LB Fred Warner (ankle) is scheduled to undergo surgery on his ankle Tuesday, Oct. 14. Head coach Kyle Shanahan said Warner is expected to be ready for offseason workouts.
Footballguys view: "I think usually things like this are around three months," Shanahan said. "But, I haven't asked all the questions you guys are asking me yet, but I assume he'll be good for the offseason workouts and stuff like that." Warner has missed only one game in his eight-year career, sitting out a game in 2021 with a hamstring injury. He played through a broken bone in his ankle last season. |

San Francisco 49ers QB Brock Purdy's (toe) practice participation for this week will not be known until Wednesday, Oct. 15, according to head coach Kyle Shanahan.
Footballguys view: Purdy hasn't been able to practice since he aggravated a turf toe injury in Week 4. Still, he resumed conditioning work on the side last Thursday, signaling that he's making progress in his recovery. As CBSSports.com noted, Purdy missed four games in all due to health concerns (Weeks 2-3 and 5-6), with backup Mac Jones filling in well during Purdy's absence. If Purdy can practice on Wednesday, he could be on a path to return to action this coming Sunday versus the Falcons. |
Updating a previous report, Tennessee Titans senior offensive assistant Mike McCoy was named the team's interim head coach Monday, Oct. 13.
Footballguys view: McCoy, 53, joined the Titans as a senior offensive assistant earlier this year. The Chargers head coach from 2013-2016, McCoy has since served as the Broncos offensive coordinator (2017), the Cardinals offensive coordinator (2018), and the Jaguars quarterbacks coach (2022-2024). McCoy accumulated a 27-37 record with the Chargers during their last four seasons in San Diego. A former pro quarterback, McCoy spent time with the Broncos, Packers, 49ers, Eagles, and Seahawks in the league. Now, McCoy will need to work to develop this year's No. 1 overall pick, Cam Ward, as best he can through the rest of the season. |
San Francisco 49ers WR Ricky Pearsall's (knee) practice participation for this week will not be known until Wednesday, Oct. 15, according to head coach Kyle Shanahan.
Footballguys view: Pearsall has missed two weeks of practice since injuring the PCL in his right knee in Week 4 against the Jaguars. Still, the wide receiver resumed conditioning work on the side last Thursday, indicating that he's making progress in his recovery. As CBSSports.com suggested, Wednesday's practice report will reveal whether or not Pearsall was able to mix into drills. Whatever the case, the 49ers are getting healthier, with Brock Purdy and TE George Kittle expected back at practice whether Pearsall is or not. |
Updating a previous report, New York Jets WR Garrett Wilson (knee) is expected to miss at least one week because of a hyperextended knee, according to a source.
Footballguys view: Wilson was hurt late in Sunday's 13-11 loss to the Broncos in London. There's some thought that Wilson could return after the bye week. The Jets (0-6) have two games before their bye -- Sunday against the Carolina Panthers and Oct. 26 at the Cincinnati Bengals. New York returns from its bye to host the Cleveland Browns on Nov. 9. Wilson is the team's top perimeter weapon. He leads the Jets with 36 receptions for 395 yards and four touchdowns. The next-closest wide receiver is Josh Reynolds, who has eight catches for 72 yards. |
Chicago Bears QB Caleb Williams completed 17 of 29 passes for 252 yards, one touchdown, and no interceptions versus the Washington Commanders in Week 6. Williams also ran four times for minus-two yards and a touchdown.
Link to storyAtlanta Falcons CB Dee Alford had six tackles (four solo), three passes defensed, a sack, and an interception in Week 6 against the Buffalo Bills.
Link to storyAtlanta Falcons RB Bijan Robinson carried the ball 19 times for 170 yards and a touchdown in a Week 6 win over the Buffalo Bills. Robinson also had six receptions (on eight targets) for 68 yards.
Footballguys view: The dynamic, explosive back dominated on Monday night, ripping off an 81-yard touchdown to get his night started. He finished with 170 rushing yards on 19 carries, tying a single-game high, and played a key role in the passing game, adding six catches for 68 yards. Robinson logged the most scrimmage yards (238) by a Falcons running back in a single game in franchise history and the second-highest total in the league this season en route to finishing the week as RB1 overall. The Falcons play the 49ers in Week 7. |

Atlanta Falcons WR Drake London had 10 receptions for 158 yards and a touchdown during the club's Week 6 win over the Buffalo Bills. He was targeted 16 times.
Footballguys view: The Falcons were without two of their top three wide receivers in Darnell Mooney (hamstring) and Ray-Ray McCloud III (healthy scratch). McCloud's absence was a surprise. It forced the Falcons to rely heavily on two skill players: Robinson and Drake London, who combined for 89 percent of the team's yardage in the first half and came in with the highest percentage of their team's scrimmage yardage (57 percent) out of any duo in the NFL. Robinson finished the week as RB1 while London tied for WR1. The Falcons play the 49ers in Week 7. |
Buffalo Bills WR Joshua Palmer (ankle) caught two passes for 60 yards against the Atlanta Falcons in Week 6 before leaving the game because of an ankle injury. He was targeted two times during the game.
Footballguys view: Palmer was leading the Bills with two receptions for 60 yards when he was injured. He made a 45-yard catch on the Bills' first play from scrimmage. Palmer was initially ruled questionable to return but was downgraded to out at halftime. |

Buffalo Bills QB Josh Allen went 15-for-26 for 180 yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions against the Atlanta Falcons in Week 6. He also rushed for 42 yards on six carries during the game.
Footballguys view: The Bills continue to make sloppy mistakes (eight penalties accepted against them Monday night for 64 yards), their defense is struggling mightily, and the offense is far too reliant on Allen, who looked very human against Atlanta's defense. They've been outclassed by two teams previously considered to be inferior in the last two weeks, and every team they've beaten owns a losing record (and none won in Week 6). The Bills have a bye this coming week, and it couldn't come at a better time for much-needed rest. |
