Cardinals | Gardner Minshew undergoing tests on right elbow/arm after first-half blow Mon Nov 9, 04:34 PM
The Cardinals are doing tests on QB Gardner Minshew II's right elbow/arm, the team said Monday. Minshew took a blow at the end of the first half of Sunday's 17-3 loss to the Seahawks.
| Footballguys view: So, in addition to losing WR Michael Wilson for the season, there's a chance Minshew misses Sunday against the Rams, per Mike LaFleur. Rookie Carson Beck will start at quarterback if Minshew can't play. |

Cardinals | Michael Wilson out for the season with a neck injury Mon Nov 9, 04:33 PM
Cardinals WR Michael Wilson is out for the season with a neck injury. The injury was described as a "brutal blow" for Arizona. Wilson had been playing through two broken ribs in recent weeks.
| Footballguys view: Wilson led the Cardinals in receiving against the Seahawks, hauling in six of seven targets for 60 yards during Sunday's 17-3 loss. He suffered the fracture on the fourth play Sunday vs. the Seahawks and played through it. Wilson had already played with two broken ribs in the last two games. Reggie Virgil, Simi Fehoko, Harrison Wallace, and Devin Duvernay are the healthy wideouts on Arizona's roster heading into Sunday's game against the Rams. |

Ravens | Jesse Minter keeps Lamar Jackson's thumb injury, return chances 'between me and him' Mon Nov 9, 03:51 PM
Ravens head coach Jesse Minter declined to give any update on QB Lamar Jackson (thumb) in his Monday press conference, including whether he can return this season or whether he requires or has had surgery.
| Footballguys view: "I'm going to keep most of the conversations between Lamar and I between Lamar and I," Minter said, adding that "no one wants to be on the field more" and that Jackson is "probably going to do everything he can to put himself in position" to play. Jackson, who is on injured reserve, is reportedly out 6-9 weeks with a fractured and dislocated thumb. Jacoby Brissett is set to take over as Baltimore's starting quarterback with Jackson and Tyler Huntley on injured reserve. |

Texans | DeMeco Ryans hopeful Montgomery practices this week or next Mon Nov 9, 03:34 PM
Texans head coach DeMeco Ryans said on Monday that he's hopeful to get RB David Montgomery (groin) practicing this week or next week. Ryans said he is pleased with Montgomery's 'progress.'
| Footballguys view: Montgomery was injured in an Oct. 11 game against the Titans and has missed the past three games. The Texans traded for Montgomery in the offseason, and he has 52 carries for 138 yards and two touchdowns, while adding seven catches for 67 yards and a touchdown. Woody Marks has served as the team's primary back in Montgomery's absence. |

Ravens | Jesse Minter doesn't believe Kyle Hamilton will miss time with hip injury Mon Nov 9, 03:14 PM
Ravens head coach Jesse Minter said on Monday that he doesn't believe S Kyle Hamilton will miss time.
| Footballguys view: Hamilton left Thursday's game against the Jaguars with a hip injury. "Everything looks fairly good," Minter said. Hamilton in his fifth season and has earned All-Pro honors in each of the past three year. His athleticism and versatility make him arguably the most valuable part of the Ravens defense. |

Packers | Josh Jacobs to have finger surgery, 'expected to miss a maximum of three weeks' Mon Nov 9, 03:05 PM
Packers RB Josh Jacobs will undergo surgery on his fractured finger and "is expected to miss a maximum of three weeks," The Athletic's Matt Zenitz reported on Monday.
| Footballguys view: Jacobs suffered the injury in Sunday's win over the Patriots. He has 80 rushing yards on 36 carries (2.2 yards per carry) this season. With MarShawn Lloyd and Chris Brooks missing Sunday's game, Kaleb Johnson filled in and finished with 14 carries for 68 yards and a touchdown. We'll be watching for more on Brooks and Lloyd when the team begins preparing for Sunday's game against the Vikings. |

Commanders | Commanders 'optimistic' Treylon Burks plays Thursday vs. Giants Mon Nov 9, 02:13 PM
Commanders WR Treylon Burks (foot) has a chance to play in Thursday's Week 10 game against the Giants, and head coach Dan Quinn said on Monday that the team is optimistic about it.
| Footballguys view: Burks was ruled out for Sunday's game against the Rams with the foot injury. Burks led the Commanders in receiving yards during their Week 8 win over the Eagles. He is the only legitimate downfield threat without Terry McLaurin, and the trust with quarterback Jayden Daniels is growing. His return would be a plus for the offense. |

Browns | Todd Monken 'not ready to name' Watson or Sanders starter for Week 10 Mon Nov 9, 02:09 PM
Browns head coach Todd Monken was not ready on Monday to name either QB Deshaun Watson or QB Shedeur Sanders his starter for Sunday's Week 10 game against the Texans. The decision follows Sanders' late rally in Sunday's 23-22 overtime loss to the Saints.
| Footballguys view: ESPN's Jeremy Fowler reported earlier Monday that the Browns plan to start Watson in Week 10 against the Texans. The looming decision follows Sanders' late rally in Sunday's 23-22 overtime loss to the Saints. Of course, it makes sense that Monken and the Browns aren't looking to fill the Texans in on their plan. That said, we'll continue to watch for more. |

Panthers | Panthers to open Xavier Legette's 21-day practice window this week Mon Nov 9, 01:32 PM
Panthers head coach Dave Canales said on Monday that the team will open the 21-day practice window for WR Xavier Legette this week. Legette has been out since Week 2 with a knee injury.
| Footballguys view: Legette's return to practice opens a three-week window before he has to be added to the active roster. In 2026, Legette has appeared in two games for the Panthers and recorded 2 catches for 64 yards. We'll be watching for more. |

Panthers | Panthers to 'see how the next two days go' before opening Brooks' window Mon Nov 9, 01:32 PM
Panthers head coach Dave Canales said on Monday that the team will have to see how the next two days go before deciding whether to open the 21-day practice window for RB Jonathon Brooks, who was placed on injured reserve in September following core muscle surgery.
| Footballguys view: As CBSSports.com reported, Brooks, who remains on IR, was seen working off to the side during the Panthers' unofficial practice last Tuesday, perhaps signaling some progress for the oft-injured RB, who last saw game action in Week 2. In Brooks' absence, Chuba Hubbard has dominated Carolina's backfield touches. Hubbard is currently RB10 overall through Sunday's Week 9 games. |

Cowboys | Tyler Goodson 'probably gonna miss some time' Mon Nov 9, 01:31 PM
Cowboys RB Tyler Goodson (knee) is "probably gonna miss some time," Cowboys EVP Stephen Jones said on 105.3 The Fan on Monday. "He's got a real injury that unfortunately he's probably gonna miss some time with," Jones said.
| Footballguys view: Goodson was hurt in Sunday's win over the Colts and was initially questionable to return before going back into the game. As SI.com noted, Goodson's injury stings because he provided some explosiveness to the running game as the offense was attempting to get back on track. Dallas has become more reliant on the run, but will now need to look elsewhere for additional depth behind Javonte Williams until Goodson is healthy enough to return to the field. |

Chiefs | Andy Reid: Patrick Mahomes 'day-to-day' with elbow injury Mon Nov 9, 01:26 PM
Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes is day-to-day with an elbow injury, head coach Andy Reid said on Monday. Reid said he had seen Mahomes on Monday and the quarterback was in "good spirits." Mahomes' MRI after Sunday's win over the Jets did not reveal a major elbow injury.
| Footballguys view: Mahomes finished Sunday's game completing 23 of his 31 passes for 242 yards and two touchdowns, even though he averaged just 2.8 air yards per attempt, his second-fewest in a game in his career, according to Next Gen Stats. The Chiefs' training staff is expected to monitor Mahomes in hopes of reducing the swelling in his elbow and his pain when throwing the ball. Reid said he didn't know if Mahomes would be able to have his full reps during the Chiefs' three practices this week. The Chiefs' next game is Sunday against the Falcons in Atlanta. |

Chiefs | Xavier Worthy considered day-to-day Mon Nov 9, 01:04 PM
Chiefs WR Xavier Worthy (hamstring) is considered day-to-day, head coach Andy Reid said on Monday. Worthy went down grabbing his hamstring during Sunday's win over the Jets.
| Footballguys view: Some believe the best-case scenario for Worthy is that he misses a couple of weeks with his hamstring injury, like Rashee Rice did when he tweaked his hamstring. Reid's assessment seems more optimistic. Remember, the Chiefs are already thin at wide receiver, with Tyquan Thornton on IR recovering from an ankle dislocation, and the team is said to be in the market for help at the position before Tuesday's trade deadline. |

Seahawks | Macdonald believes Lock's oblique strain is minor, Darnold ruled out vs. Raiders Mon Nov 9, 12:46 PM
Seahawks QB Drew Lock is dealing with an oblique strain that head coach Mike Macdonald believes is minor. Macdonald told Seattle Sports 710 ESPN on Monday that tests on Lock's oblique were "good" and the team believes he can start Week 10 against the Raiders, ESPN's Adam Schefter reported. Macdonald also ruled out QB Sam Darnold for Sunday's game in Las Vegas.
| Footballguys view: Remember, Lock was already working with tendinitis in his throwing elbow. We'll follow up as the week progresses. Jalen Milroe will be standing by if Lock and Darnold are both out. |

Buccaneers | Bowles says Bucs will 'try and lessen the load' on Bucky Irving after bye Mon Nov 9, 12:45 PM
Buccaneers RB Bucky Irving has run well but is on pace for 315 rushing attempts this season. Head coach Todd Bowles said Monday that the team will have to try and lessen the load on Irving after the bye week.
| Footballguys view: Irving had a game-high 97 yards on 20 carries and both of Tampa's touchdowns in Sunday night's loss to the Bears. He added a team-high four receptions for 28 yards. With Tampa sitting at 3-0 this season when Irving hits 100 yards rushing, he fell just short this night, and so did the Bucs. The question is, will limiting his workload also limit the offense? We'll be watching for more on this over the Buccaneers bye week. |

Raiders | Ashton Jeanty plays 64% of snaps vs. 49ers, Washington at 34% Mon Nov 9, 12:05 PM
Raiders RB Ashton Jeanty played 64% of the team's offensive snaps in Sunday's loss to the 49ers. Rookie RB Mike Washington Jr. played 34% of the offensive snaps. In the previous week's win over the Jets, Washington out-snapped Jeanty 38-25.
| Footballguys view: The Raiders' running back situation has been awful all season, but it hit a new low in Sunday's loss to the 49ers. Jeanty had a historically bad game catching passes out of the backfield, finishing with five catches for negative five yards. Jeanty was their leading rusher, with 25 yards on six carries. Washington had six carries for negative three yards. Between the two of them, Jeanty and Washington had 17 touches for 17 yards. Things won't get easier for the duo going up against the Seahawks in Week 10. |

Raiders | Maxx Crosby on trade deadline: 'I expect to play for the Raiders' Mon Nov 9, 12:04 PM
Raiders DE Maxx Crosby said he expects to remain with Las Vegas through the trade deadline. "I expect to play for the Raiders," Crosby said.
| Footballguys view: Earlier this year, Crosby was supposed to be traded from the Raiders to the Ravens. That trade fell through. While Crosby pushed for a trade in the offseason, he's now on board with the direction of the franchise. We'll be watching for more on this through Tuesday's deadline. |

Giants | Cam Skattebo 'very close' to playing Sunday, expected to be 'full go' Thursday Mon Nov 9, 11:49 AM
Giants RB Cam Skattebo (hamstring) was "very close" to playing in Sunday's win over the Eagles, head coach John Harbaugh said on Monday. The team chose not to take that risk, but the expectation is that Skattebo will be "full go" for Thursday night's game against the Commanders.
| Footballguys view: Skattebo suffered a hamstring injury late in the Giants' Week 7 win over the Texans and missed practice for two days coming out of the bye week. He returned on Friday, but the team had this week's quick turnaround in mind when making a plan for managing his health. With Skattebo watching from the sideline, Devin Singletary was the lead back for the Giants against the Eagles, and he ran 21 times for 31 yards. Gregory Desrosiers had 20 yards on three carries. |

Browns | Browns plan to start Deshaun Watson in Week 10 vs. Texans Mon Nov 9, 11:36 AM
The Browns plan to start QB Deshaun Watson in Week 10 against the Texans. QB Shedeur Sanders filled in on Sunday in New Orleans, but returning to Watson was the expected move once he cleared the concussion protocol.
| Footballguys view: Watson cleared concussion protocol on Saturday, but was inactive after missing two practices during the week. Shedeur Sanders got the start and went 19-of-31 for 297 yards and two touchdowns. Monken said after the game that he was proud of Sanders' performance after spending the first two months of the season on the bench, but declined to answer whether it was enough for him to consider making a lasting change. Monken hasn't confirmed the plan, but it appears the team will return to the status quo as they try to keep pace in the AFC playoff race. |

Giants | J.J. McCarthy has hip pointer, Giants 'confident' he'll be ready for Thursday Mon Nov 9, 11:35 AM
Giants QB J.J. McCarthy suffered a hip pointer during Sunday's win over the Eagles in Philadelphia. The team is confident that McCarthy will be ready for Thursday night's game against the Commanders. McCarthy left Sunday's game with the hip injury before returning, and said afterward the hip 'feels pretty good.'
| Footballguys view: The short turnaround makes this a situation worth watching. As ProFootballTalk.com suggested, even if he's not playing, there's strategic value in keeping the Commanders in the dark about whether it will be McCarthy or Jameis Winston. Either way, it would be wise for Washington to be ready for both guys, since McCarthy could aggravate the injury or suffer a new one. We'll be following up through game time. |

Titans | Saleh feels good about RBs; Singleton 'getting better', Spears dealing with injury Mon Nov 9, 09:30 AM

Browns | Dylan Sampson plays 22 more snaps than Quinshon Judkins in Week 9 Mon Nov 9, 08:49 AM
Browns RB Dylan Sampson played 22 more offensive snaps than RB Quinshon Judkins in Sunday's Week 9 game against the Saints.
| Footballguys view: Judkins still ran the ball 15 times for 43 yards, but as Pro Football Focus noted, his receiving production has plummeted since Sampson's return, with four receptions over the last three games. Sampson ran eight times and was no more effective, but he caught three passes for 27 yards. As PFF's Nathan Jahnke pointed out, the Browns have a generally favorable schedule for running backs, so there could be some games where Judkins can be in fantasy starting lineups. However, if the Browns are underdogs, it may make sense to consider Sampson more than Judkins. |

Jaguars | Falcons trade former Pro Bowl S Jessie Bates to Jaguars for 2027 2nd-round pick Mon Nov 9, 07:57 AM
The Falcons are trading former Pro Bowl S Jessie Bates III to the Jaguars in exchange for a 2027 second-round pick and a 2028 fifth-round pick.
| Footballguys view: Bates signed with Atlanta in 2023 and started all 60 possible games with the team, totaling 14 interceptions, 11 forced fumbles and 392 tackles. Jacksonville explored the safety market after recently losing S Eric Murray to a season-ending injury. |

Broncos | Pat Bryant 'right back into the mix', plays 68% of snaps vs. Panthers Mon Nov 9, 07:36 AM
Broncos WR Pat Bryant was "right back into the mix" in Sunday's 26-21 win over the Panthers, playing 68% of the offensive snaps in his return from an ankle injury.
| Footballguys view: Only WR Courtland Sutton (85%) played more among Denver's wide receivers, ahead of WR Troy Franklin (55%), WR Marvin Mims Jr. (25%), and WR Jaylen Waddle (19%), who left with a concussion. Bryant caught four passes for 56 yards and a touchdown. If Waddle can't make it through the concussion protocol, Bryant could see additional targets in Week 10. |

Broncos | Jaylen Waddle played 19% of snaps before leaving with concussion Mon Nov 9, 07:36 AM
Broncos WR Jaylen Waddle played just 19% of the offensive snaps in Sunday's 26-21 win over the Panthers before leaving with a concussion. WRs Courtland Sutton (85%), Pat Bryant (68%) and Troy Franklin (55%) led Denver's receivers in snaps.

Patriots | Rhamondre Stevenson's knee injury the 'top concern' after loss to Packers Mon Nov 9, 06:00 AM
Patriots RB Rhamondre Stevenson's knee injury is the "top concern" coming out of Sunday's 45-27 loss to the Packers. Stevenson injured his knee with 3:29 left in the third quarter and did not return. He played 38 offensive snaps before exiting.
| Footballguys view: Stevenson played 38 of 63 offensive snaps (60%) before departing. With RB TreVeyon Henderson already out due to an illness, RBs Corey Kiner and Lan Larison are next on the depth chart. They are likely to see increased opportunities should Stevenson show any signs of limitations heading into the Week 10 game against Detroit in Munich. Larison played 14 snaps and Kiner 11 on Sunday. |

Colts | Jonathan Taylor trade will reportedly come by deadline Mon Nov 9, 12:47 AM
The trade chatter regarding Colts running back Jonathan Taylor has lasted for two weeks. It will last at least two more days. The current belief in league circles is that the Colts will take the best offer that's on the table as the deadline approaches at 4:00 p.m. ET on Tuesday.
| Footballguys view: As PFT's Mike Florio noted, the Colts would surely like to get as much as they can, ideally landing the same package the Panthers got from the 49ers for running back Christian McCaffrey. But the Colts are likely to take what they can get, with the market for Taylor set by the competition among the teams that make an offer. So whether it's the teams that have been linked to Taylor (Giants, Vikings, Seahawks, Broncos, Packers) or someone unexpected, a trade is expected to happen before the clock strikes 4:00 p.m. ET on Tuesday, November 10. |

Bears | Luther Burden has a concussion, per Ben Johnson Mon Nov 9, 12:41 AM
Bears WR Luther Burden III has a concussion, head coach Ben Johnson said. Burden left Sunday's win over the Buccaneers in the fourth quarter with a possible head injury after taking a helmet-to-helmet hit on which he fumbled.
| Footballguys view: Prior to exiting Sunday's win, Burden caught seven passes for 97 yards and a touchdown, leading the team. With a bye week to rest, we'll see what Burden's status is going into Week 11 when the Bears take on the New Orleans Saints. |

49ers WR Mike Evans is dealing with Achilles tendinitis that could keep him sidelined for weeks. Evans missed Sunday's win over the Raiders, as did WRs Deebo Samuel and Christian Kirk.

Cardinals | LaFleur says 'no' to Carson Beck replacing Gardner Minshew II next week Sun Nov 8, 08:54 PM
Cardinals head coach Mike LaFleur answered with a quick "no" on Sunday when asked whether rookie QB Carson Beck would replace QB Gardner Minshew II next week.
| Footballguys view: LaFleur clearly didn't like the offense's execution before the snap in Sunday's 17-3 loss to the Seahawks, as crowd noise bothered the offensive line at times and there was a not-on-the-same-page element. "The margin for error is slim," Minshew said. Arizona hosts the Rams in Week 10. |

Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes II underwent an MRI following Sunday's win over the Jets, and the tests did not reveal a major injury, NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reported, citing sources.
| Footballguys view: Mahomes' elbow strain/sprain will be monitored over the next few days for pain and swelling, but "so far, so good." Mahomes returned to the game after the injury. Again, this is a story we'll be following closely in coming days. |

Chargers | Justin Herbert has possible fracture in left middle finger, 'could be a fracture' Sun Nov 8, 08:16 PM
Chargers QB Justin Herbert left Sunday's 44-22 loss to the Texans in the fourth quarter after injuring the middle finger on his left, non-throwing hand. "It could be a fracture," head coach Jim Harbaugh said, adding, "We'll find out," and noted that he made the decision to pull Herbert, who wanted to stay in the game.
| Footballguys view: Herbert, who appeared to hurt his finger while trying to stiff-arm Texans DT Logan Hall on a sack and was sacked eight times in the game, will undergo further testing on Monday. Herbert, who played through a broken bone in his left hand during the 2025 season before having it surgically repaired, expects to play through this injury: "I'll do whatever I can to make sure I'm 100%." The Chargers face the Ravens in Week 10. |

Packers RB Josh Jacobs fractured a finger in Sunday's win over the Patriots, head coach Matt LaFleur said. "Hopefully, we can do something to allow him to go out there. But he was having a hard time gripping the ball," LaFleur said. Jacobs left Sunday's game with the hand injury.
| Footballguys view: Jacobs left the 45-27 win in the first quarter. His day ended with five yards on four carries. With MarShawn Lloyd and Chris Brooks missing the game, Kaleb Johnson filled in and finished with 14 carries for 68 yards and a touchdown. The health of Green Bay's backfield will be something to monitor heading into next Sunday's game against the Vikings. |

Seahawks | Drew Lock suffers oblique injury, status for next week 'up in the air' Sun Nov 8, 07:47 PM
Seahawks QB Drew Lock suffered an oblique injury, head coach Mike Macdonald said on Sunday. Macdonald said it is "up in the air" whether Lock will be available next week against the Raiders.
| Footballguys view: Lock, who completed 19 of 28 passes for 175 yards, a touchdown, and no turnovers, had also been dealing with severe tendinitis in his throwing elbow. Nonetheless, Lock said he's confident he can play next week if needed. He was filling in for the injured QB Sam Darnold, who is also in danger of missing Seattle's Week 10 game against the Raiders. Darnold could attempt to return for next Sunday's game in Las Vegas, but the Seahawks also know that they have their bye the following week. Jalen Milroe will get the nod if both Darnold and Lock are out next week. |

Packers | Love throws for 372 yards, three touchdowns in win over Patriots Sun Nov 8, 07:46 PM
Green Bay Packers QB Jordan Love completed 23 of 29 passes for 372 yards with 3 touchdowns and ran 1 time for 13 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 45-27 win over the New England Patriots. He was projected for 18.2 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 34.2.
| Footballguys view: As Yahoo's Eric Edholm noted, Love once again relied on the NFL's top receiving tandem this season, Christian Watson and Matthew Golden. Watson had seven catches for 171 yards and one touchdown. Working frequently against Patriots All-Pro cornerback Christian Gonzalez, Golden caught 10 passes for 164 yards and a score. Love was QB2 through the end of Sunday's late-afternoon games. Love will be tested in Week 10, when the Packers host the Vikings. |

Green Bay Packers WR Christian Watson caught 7 passes for 171 yards and a touchdown on 8 targets in Sunday's 45-27 win over the New England Patriots. He was projected for 13.2 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 26.6.
| Footballguys view: Watson's big performance, which included a career high in yardage, coincided with Matthew Golden's 10-catch, 164-yard effort. The Packers scored a season-high 45 points in their Week 9 win, the most the Patriots have ever allowed in a game at Gillette Stadium. Green Bay also posted a season-high 478 total yards, including 129 rushing yards, after failing to surpass 90 rushing yards in any of their first eight games of the 2026 season.
