Bengals | Ja'Marr Chase questionable, likely to play if cleared from concussion protocol Saturday Fri Oct 9, 12:23 PM
Bengals WR Ja'Marr Chase took part in practice on Friday and will be listed as questionable for Sunday's game at the Dolphins, head coach Zac Taylor said Friday. Chase remains in the concussion protocol but will likely play if he is cleared on Saturday.
| Footballguys view: The good news for fantasy managers is that we'll get clarity on Chase's status before Sunday's games. After back-to-back practices, he's on the right track. But check back Saturday afternoon to see whether he's been cleared from concussion protocol. Assuming he's active, he's in your lineup as an elite WR1. |

Commanders | Terry McLaurin (hamstring) on practice field for first time this week Fri Oct 9, 11:16 AM
Commanders WR Terry McLaurin (hamstring) walked onto the practice field on Friday for the first time all week. McLaurin did not practice Wednesday and was not out for warmups Thursday. Washington hosts the Giants on Sunday.
| Footballguys view: McLaurin logged back-to-back DNPs to start this week, so a return to the practice field is a promising sign. If he's active, he'll be in the WR3 discussion. But we'll hope for more information before Sunday's 9:30 a.m. ET kickoff in London. He's an obvious risk for a limited or decoy role, but with Stefon Diggs expected to miss, the Commanders might be willing to push McLaurin harder to suit up. |

Buccaneers | Jalon Daniels plan to start vs. Steelers, Mayfield down to 'smaller splint' on thumb Fri Oct 9, 11:10 AM
Buccaneers QB Baker Mayfield has a smaller splint on his dislocated thumb, head coach Todd Bowles said on Friday. The team will see whether Mayfield can grip a ball this week, but the plan is to go with rookie QB Jalon Daniels in Week 6 against the Steelers. Mayfield had been 'pushing to play' against Pittsburgh.
| Footballguys view: The Buccaneers engineered a fantastic game plan Thursday night, letting Daniels get into a rhythm with some easy early throws, pulling the Cowboys' defense into the box, and then letting him rip it late. Daniels is an undrafted rookie and is still a bit rough around the edges. But he's getting the ball to the Buccaneers' playmakers and adding some rushing upside of his own. He'll be in the streaming discussion in two-quarterback and superflex leagues in Week 6 against the Steelers. |

Dolphins | Caleb Douglas (ankle) 'unlikely to play' Sunday against Bengals Fri Oct 9, 11:01 AM
Dolphins rookie WR Caleb Douglas (ankle) is unlikely to play Sunday against the Bengals, head coach Jeff Hafley said on Friday. Douglas worked on the side during practice on Thursday after not practicing on Wednesday.
| Footballguys view: It's a shame that Douglas is dealing with this injury, as the rookie was a bright spot early in the season on an otherwise disappointing Dolphins offense. Chris Bell and Malik Washington have been the top targets, with complementary skill sets as deep and short targets, respectively. |

Eagles | Sirianni expects Dontayvion Wicks (hamstring) to practice Friday Fri Oct 9, 10:57 AM
Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni said Friday that he expects WR Dontayvion Wicks (hamstring) to practice that day. Sirianni confirmed Wicks got hurt in Thursday's session, when he was added to the injury report as a limited participant. The Eagles visit the Jaguars on Sunday.
| Footballguys view: The Eagles are down a lot of weapons this week, and Dontayvion Wicks could be their top receiver. Wicks wasn't on Wednesday's injury report, but popped up Thursday as a limited participant with a hamstring injury. Assuming he's active, he's a shaky WR3. Expect the Eagles to lean on their run game as much as possible to control the clock against a strong Jaguars team. |

Jets | Adonai Mitchell (finger) ruled out for Week 5 vs. Browns Fri Oct 9, 10:42 AM
The Jets have ruled out WR Adonai Mitchell (finger) for Sunday's game against the Browns. Mitchell did not practice Wednesday or Thursday and will miss another game.
| Footballguys view: Mitchell is expected to miss a few weeks after sustaining an injury in practice before Week 3's game. He got off to a hot start this year, but he needs to fully recover before returning. In his absence, expect Isaiah Williams to be the team's secondary receiver alongside Garrett Wilson. In what is projects to be a low-scoring matchup against the Browns, Wilson is the only viable Jets receiver outside of very deep leagues. |

Buccaneers | Baker Mayfield 'pushing to play' vs. Steelers, too early to know medically Thu Oct 8, 10:25 PM
Buccaneers QB Baker Mayfield could return for the Week 6 game against the Steelers on October 18. Mayfield is pushing to play, but with the game 10 days away it is too early for the Bucs to know medically whether he can go. The stitches in his thumb were removed on Monday, and his return is a matter of the thumb healing, his pain tolerance and his ability to grip the football. The medical staff will have a big say in whether he plays.

Bills | Josh Allen not blaming knee injury for drop in scrambling production Thu Oct 8, 06:50 PM
Bills QB Josh Allen addressed speculation about a knee injury after Thursday's practice and is not blaming his recent lack of scrambling production on an injury. Allen has 13 carries for 26 yards combined over the last two games against the Chargers and Patriots, including five carries for four yards in Sunday's Week 4 loss to New England, and appeared to pass up clear scrambling opportunities in both games.
| Footballguys view: Speculation had swirled that Allen injured his knee in the fourth quarter of the Week 3 win over the Chargers. In the first two games of the season, Allen ran 20 times for 92 yards and four touchdowns. We'll see if Allen can get back to his running ways in the near future. |

Bears | Kyle Monangai dealing with turf toe, availability uncertain for 1-2 weeks Thu Oct 8, 05:10 PM

Monangai ranks seventh in the NFL with 324 rushing yards.

Broncos | Sean Payton takes back play-calling from Davis Webb: 'I'll call the plays' Thu Oct 8, 04:34 PM
Broncos head coach Sean Payton confirmed on Thursday that he will take back offensive play-calling duties from offensive coordinator Davis Webb, whom he gave them to this offseason. "We'll make a change offensively. I'll call the plays," Payton said, citing a belief that "there's more there" offensively than Denver has shown through four weeks. Webb will remain involved in building game plans, but Payton will be the voice in QB Bo Nix's ear on game days, starting Sunday against the Chargers.
| Footballguys view: Payton didn't take long to wrest back control of his offense. Nix has looked inconsistent (to say the least) and flat-out bad for most of this season. He's a talented quarterback, but the Broncos need better play from him if they're going to make another deep postseason run. We'll see if Payton can light a spark (again) in his young quarterback. |

Steelers | Rico Dowdle (toe) limited again in Thursday's practice Thu Oct 8, 04:32 PM
Steelers RB Rico Dowdle (toe) was limited in practice on Thursday. He was also limited on Wednesday after missing Week 4 with the injury. Pittsburgh hosts the Colts on Sunday.
| Footballguys view: Just a few days ago, Steelers HC Mike McCarthy said Dowdle is making progress in his attempt to return from a toe injury. That progress has him limited so far in two days of practice. If Dowdle is available in Week 5, we like him in the deep flex range against the Colts. |

Commanders | RB Kaytron Allen, a 2026 sixth-round pick by Washington, was released Thu Oct 8, 04:17 PM
Commanders RB Kaytron Allen, a 2026 sixth-round pick by Washington, was released.
| Footballguys view: Allen has been bothered by various injuries this year, but the rookie two-down banger should be able to land on another roster. It's interesting that the Commanders gave up on him after a month of the regular season. We'll see where Allen lands in the near future. |
