Giants | Singletary, Desrosiers only healthy RBs on active roster with Skattebo 'in doubt' Wed Nov 4, 01:42 PM
Giants RB Cam Skattebo (hamstring) again worked on the side with a trainer and did not practice on Wednesday, and he is in doubt for Sunday's Week 9 game at the Eagles. That leaves RB Devin Singletary and RB Greg Desrosiers, who was signed off the Chargers practice squad last week, as the only healthy running backs on the Giants' active roster, with RB Tyrone Tracy on injured reserve. RBs Phil Mafah and Eric Gray are on the practice squad.

Giants | Cam Skattebo works on the side with trainer again Wednesday Wed Nov 4, 01:35 PM
Giants RB Cam Skattebo (hamstring) was on the side again with a trainer at practice on Wednesday. Skattebo also worked on the side with a trainer in Monday's first practice after the bye, and head coach John Harbaugh called him "day-to-day" with the hamstring injury on Monday. The Giants visit the Eagles on Sunday.
| Footballguys view: Skattebo's hamstring injury might force him to miss the game against the Eagles. Devin Singletary would likely be the Giants' starter if Skattebo is out. |

Packers | Christian Watson practicing Wednesday despite broken rib Wed Nov 4, 01:33 PM
Packers WR Christian Watson was practicing on Wednesday. Watson said he broke a rib in last Thursday's win over the Panthers, a game in which he caught eight passes for 113 yards. LB Zaire Franklin, OL Sean Rhyan, OL Travis Glover, and TE Josh Whyle were the players on the 53-man roster not practicing.
| Footballguys view: We'll likely see Watson use extra protection like a flak jacket while he deals with this rib injury. It's a pain-tolerance issue, and if he's practicing on Wednesday, Watson should be able to play in Week 9. We've got him as a WR1 against the Patriots in Week 9. |

Commanders | Stefon Diggs not at practice Wednesday for a rest day Wed Nov 4, 01:10 PM
Commanders WR Stefon Diggs was not at practice on Wednesday, a rest day. Diggs was also held out of last Wednesday's practice for rest, with a weekly rest day described as "likely" going forward, and he was "good to go" for Sunday's game against the Eagles.
| Footballguys view: Diggs caught 3 of 6 targets for 38 yards and a touchdown in the Commanders' Week 8 win over the Eagles. He's getting limited work in during the week, and Diggs has a lower snap count as the team uses him as a situational slot weapon. This week against the Rams, we view Diggs as a WR3/flex play in PPR formats. |

Commanders | Rookie Antonio Williams led WRs in snaps with McLaurin on IR, Quinn praises Wed Nov 4, 01:09 PM
Commanders WR Antonio Williams, a third-round rookie, led the team in snaps in Sunday's win over the Eagles with WR Terry McLaurin on injured reserve. Head coach Dan Quinn said on Wednesday that the moments were never too big for Williams or first-round rookie LB Sonny Styles. Washington hosts the Rams on Sunday.
| Footballguys view: Williams caught 5 of 7 targets for 54 yards in the Commanders' Week 8 win over the Eagles. Against the Rams in Week 9, we like Williams as a flex option for Fantasy GMs out there. |

Patriots | TreVeyon Henderson away from team with illness Wednesday Wed Nov 4, 01:04 PM
Patriots RB TreVeyon Henderson was away from the team with an illness on Wednesday, head coach Mike Vrabel said. Henderson missed Thursday's practice last week with an illness and was downgraded to out for last Sunday's game at the Dolphins.
| Footballguys view: An illness usually doesn't impact a player this long, unless it's something more serious. We'll know more when more information about Henderson becomes available. In the meantime, get ready for plenty of Rhamondre Stevenson (again) in Week 9 if Henderson can't play. |

Patriots | Vrabel says A.J. Brown won't practice Wednesday Wed Nov 4, 01:04 PM
Patriots WR A.J. Brown will not practice on Wednesday, head coach Mike Vrabel said. Brown was downgraded to out for last Sunday's game at the Dolphins.
| Footballguys view: Brown may have to miss another contest as he deals with a knee injury that flared up on him last week in practice. Mack Hollins may be back for the Patriots this week, as his 21-day IR window was opened. We'll know more about Brown's status on Friday at the latest. |

Chiefs | Andy Reid says 'Harrison will be in' against Jets Wed Nov 4, 12:51 PM
Chiefs K Harrison Butker will kick in Sunday's game against the Jets, head coach Andy Reid said on Wednesday. "Harrison [Butker] will be in," Reid said. Butker has remained Kansas City's kicker despite the team's signing of K Justin Tucker.

Packers | Micah Parsons practicing Wednesday, 21-day PUP window opened Wed Nov 4, 12:23 PM
Packers DE Micah Parsons will practice on Wednesday for the first time in almost 11 months, head coach Matt LaFleur said. Parsons' 21-day window to be activated from the PUP list is now open.
| Footballguys view: LaFleur said Parsons is a "full go" to do individual work at practice. That's not a lock to put him back on the field in Week 9, but obviously Parsons is getting close. The Packers want him healthy for a Super Bowl run, so expect Parsons to get eased back into the lineup when he does return. |

Browns | Monken not ruling out Watson, Shedeur Sanders takes QB1 reps on Wednesday Wed Nov 4, 12:10 PM
Browns QB Deshaun Watson remains in the concussion protocol, and QB Shedeur Sanders took the QB1 reps in practice on Wednesday. Head coach Todd Monken is not yet ruling out Watson for Sunday's game at the Saints but acknowledged the return-to-play process is "a little more difficult for a quarterback" because of the mental preparation needed to get ready for game day. Asked if Watson could play Sunday without practicing but getting cleared Saturday, Monken did not commit: "I don't know that."
| Footballguys view: Getting through the concussion protocol may not be something Watson can do in such short order. The team and Fantasy GMs should be preparing to have Sanders under center in Week 9. That could mean plenty of targets for guys like Harold Fannin Jr. and KC Concepcion Jr. |

Jets | Garrett Wilson in concussion protocol, per Aaron Glenn Wed Nov 4, 12:09 PM
Jets WR Garrett Wilson is in the concussion protocol, head coach Aaron Glenn said on Wednesday, Rich Cimini reported.
| Footballguys view: Wilson will now work his way through the NFL concussion protocol, and his status for Week 9 is very much in doubt. Omar Cooper Jr. and Adonai Mitchell would be tasked with doing more if Wilson is out against the Chiefs on Sunday. |

Jets | Aaron Glenn says 'both guys will play' if Hall and Allen are available Wed Nov 4, 12:09 PM
Jets head coach Aaron Glenn said on Wednesday that "both guys will play" when asked about the workload for RBs Braelon Allen and Breece Hall if both are available. Hall, who has a quadriceps injury, sat out Sunday's loss to the Raiders, while Allen ran for 147 yards and a touchdown in that game.
| Footballguys view: Allen has been fantastic as the lead back for the Jets. With Hall out, Allen was able to strut his stuff -- and he looked good as a bell-cow back. Now, the team is going to use both and that could frustrate Fantasy GMs. Allen is more of an RB2/flex, and we view Hall as an RB3/flex in Week 9. |
Breece Hall player page
Braelon Allen player page
Jets | Breece Hall limited in Wednesday practice Wed Nov 4, 12:07 PM
Jets RB Breece Hall was a limited participant in practice on Wednesday. Hall sat out Sunday's game against the Raiders.
| Footballguys view: Hall was limited last week, but he missed the game against the Raiders. He's in line to return to the field this week, but it would be nice to see him get a full designation by Friday at the latest. With the way that Braelon Allen is playing, the Jets should use plenty of both backs going forward. Allen is more of an RB2/flex, while we view Hall as an RB3/flex if he does play in Week 9. |

Buccaneers | Emeka Egbuka not practicing Wednesday during open portion Wed Nov 4, 12:05 PM
Buccaneers WR Emeka Egbuka was not practicing on Wednesday during the portion of practice open to the media. Egbuka missed last Sunday's game against the Falcons because of a foot problem, despite having cleared the concussion protocol.
| Footballguys view: After missing a game, it's not a great sign that Egbuka has to miss the opening day of practice the following week. This foot injury may cause him to miss another week of action. Fantasy GMs need to have other options at the ready. |
Emeka Egbuka player page
KC Concepcion Jr. has 'a bit of rapport' with Shedeur Sanders from camp Wed Nov 4, 11:42 AM
Browns rookie WR KC Concepcion Jr. caught a lot of passes from QB Shedeur Sanders during Cleveland's quarterback competition in training camp, giving the pair "a bit of rapport." "All we have to do is get that bond back started," Concepcion said. QB Deshaun Watson is in the concussion protocol, and Sanders is in line to start if he can't clear.
| Footballguys view: Sanders can work underneath routes, so we expect plenty of targets for TE Harold Fannin Jr. However, the connection and chemistry with Concepcion cannot be denied. With Sanders out there, we view Concepcion as a WR3/flex option for Fantasy GMs in Week 9. |

Jaguars | Bhayshul Tuten a 'game-time decision' Thursday, Rodriguez would see larger role Wed Nov 4, 11:34 AM
Jaguars RB Bhayshul Tuten (ankle, foot) will be a game-time decision for Thursday's game at the Ravens, head coach Liam Coen said on Wednesday.
| Footballguys view: Coen said Tuten told him he feels better, but Tuten has three DNPs in practice this week. RB Chris Rodriguez Jr. would have a larger role if Tuten is out. We view Rodriguez as a flex play with upside if Tuten can't play on Thursday Night Football. |
Bhayshul Tuten player page
Saints | Jordyn Tyson designated to return from IR Wed Nov 4, 11:14 AM
The Saints have designated rookie WR Jordyn Tyson to return from injured reserve, Nick Underhill reported on Wednesday. Tyson, the No. 8 overall pick, has been on IR with a hamstring strain. The move opens his practice window ahead of Sunday's Week 9 game against the Browns.
| Footballguys view: Tyson could play in Week 9, but he'd likely be on a snap count. We're eager to see the rookie out there for the first time in a regular-season game. Tyson battled hamstring injuries during his college career, so the Saints had to be extra cautious here. The top-10 pick can be a downfield threat or work effectively from the slot. We'll have to see what he does in practice before feeling good about his status. |

Jaguars | Bhayshul Tuten could be a 'game-time decision' Thursday Wed Nov 4, 10:43 AM
Jaguars RB Bhayshul Tuten (ankle, foot) could be a game-time decision for Thursday night's game at the Ravens, head coach Liam Coen said on Wednesday. Tuten was estimated as a non-participant on Monday and was the only player not spotted at Tuesday's practice.
| Footballguys view: Fantasy GMs need to make other plans here. An option for you could be Chris Rodriguez, and without Tuten on the field, he could get a sizable workload. If Tuten can't play, we view Rodriguez as a flex play with upside. |

Falcons | James Pearce Jr. returns from suspension, snap count to be determined Wed Nov 4, 09:59 AM
Falcons DE James Pearce Jr. returned to walkthrough on Wednesday after missing the first eight games of the season due to suspension. Head coach Kevin Stefanski said the Falcons are pleased with where Pearce is in terms of being football ready, having worked out with the team's strength staff for the last month under his suspension rules. Stefanski added the team will use the rest of the week to determine how many snaps Pearce gets Sunday against the Bengals.

Browns | Deshaun Watson in concussion protocol, Shedeur Sanders in line to start if he can't clear Wed Nov 4, 09:32 AM
Browns QB Deshaun Watson has been placed in the concussion protocol, the team announced on Wednesday. Watson was evaluated for a head injury during Sunday's loss to the Steelers before returning to the game. Cleveland plays at the Saints on Sunday in Week 9, and QB Shedeur Sanders would be in line to start if Watson cannot clear the protocol in time.
| Footballguys view: It would be a challenge for Watson to clear league protocol and play in Week 9. The 'vibe' around the Browns is that Sanders is going to get his first start of 2026. He's a skilled passer when it comes to underneath routes, so TE Harold Fannin should be in line for plenty of targets with Sanders under center. We only see Sanders as a QB3, so even if you play in a start-2QB/superflex league, he's likely on your bench if he's on a roster at all. |

Giants | Giants claim attempt on RB Henry adds to Skattebo hamstring 'alarms' Wed Nov 4, 08:30 AM
The Giants were the only other team to put in a waiver claim for undrafted rookie RB Robert Henry Jr., who landed with the Commanders, Ben Standig reported. The beat writer called it an interesting note given Giants RB Cam Skattebo's hamstring injury, saying Skattebo working on the side with a hamstring after the bye week "raises some alarms, especially since he dealt with a hamstring throughout last offseason." It is not clear whether it is the same leg. Skattebo's practice work on Wednesday was still to be seen.
| Footballguys view: The Giants had a bye in Week 8, and Skattebo is no guarantee to be available in Week 9 against the Eagles. Giants HC John Harbaugh said Skattebo remains day-to-day. We'll have to see what his practice status looks like on Friday at the latest, but Skattebo is not trending in the right direction. |

Patriots | Mack Hollins to return to practice, 21-day IR window opening Wed Nov 4, 08:28 AM
Patriots WR Mack Hollins (calf) will return to practice on Wednesday, with the team opening his 21-day window to return from injured reserve, NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reported. Hollins was placed on injured reserve after the Week 4 win over the Bills and has missed the last four weeks. Before the injury, he had played 63% of the team's offensive snaps and caught 15 passes for 209 yards.
| Footballguys view: Hollins seems to be trending toward playing in Week 9 against the Packers. His return is a boost for QB Drake Maye, but it could take some of the targets away from a guy like DeMario Douglas. We view Hollins as a "what the heck" flex if he does play in Week 9. |

Ravens | Tyler Huntley suffers 'season-ending' turf toe injury, Joe Fagnano to start Thursday Wed Nov 4, 07:24 AM
Tests revealed that Ravens QB Tyler Huntley suffered a season-ending turf toe injury. With QB Lamar Jackson out indefinitely with a thumb injury, rookie QB Joe Fagnano will start Thursday night's Week 9 game against the Jaguars.
| Footballguys view: Fagnano struggled against the Bills last week, and we imagine those struggles will continue against a better Jaguars defense. This negatively impacts the fantasy value of guys like Derrick Henry and Zay Flowers. The Ravens made a move for Jacoby Brissett that should be finalized over the weekend, and we imagine he starts for the Ravens in Week 10 (on Monday Night Football against the Chargers). |

Panthers | 'Increasing chatter' that Panthers, Bryce Young quietly working toward new deal Wed Nov 4, 06:19 AM
Panthers QB Bryce Young remains without a second contract in his fourth season, but there is "increasing chatter" that the Panthers and Young are quietly working toward a new deal. In theory, a new deal could be done at any time. Young and the Panthers "never really got anywhere" on a contract before the season.
| Footballguys view: With no movement before the season, the plan was to let Young play through this season before getting a new deal done. Even though some struggles (playing behind that OL can't be fun) have plagued Young this season, a new deal with the Panthers that pays him in excess of $50 million annually could be in his future. |

Brian Robinson Jr. going through stretches at Wednesday practice Wed Nov 4, 05:41 AM
Falcons RB Brian Robinson Jr. was going through stretches at the Real Madrid grounds on Wednesday. Robinson missed last Sunday's Week 8 game against the Buccaneers with a hamstring injury after sitting out practice Thursday and Friday. The Falcons face the Bengals in Week 9.
| Footballguys view: Robinson has missed the last two games with this hamstring injury. He's getting closer to a return, but the team could rely on Khalil Herbert again as a backup to Bijan Robinson. |

Bills | Bills release C.J. Gardner-Johnson, Damar Hamlin 'likely' to keep starting job Wed Nov 4, 02:17 AM
The Bills have released S C.J. Gardner-Johnson after he served a one-game suspension for spitting in the direction of Raiders TE Brock Bowers. NFL Network reported on Tuesday that the decision was driven more by inconsistency in Gardner-Johnson's performances than by the spitting incident. Gardner-Johnson started Buffalo's first six games after joining the team in the offseason, recording 26 tackles, two passes defended and one interception. Bills S Damar Hamlin replaced him in the starting lineup for Sunday's 36-10 win over the Ravens and is likely to retain his place.

49ers | Deebo Samuel posts workout video, 'chance he could be back' vs. Raiders Tue Nov 3, 08:00 PM
49ers WR Deebo Samuel (hamstring) posted a video of himself working out at the team's practice facility during Tuesday's day off, suggesting there's a chance he could return for Sunday's Week 9 game against the Raiders. Samuel has been sidelined since injuring his hamstring in the Week 5 game against the Seahawks, and a decision on his status will likely be made later this week. Samuel had 16 receptions for 206 yards and three touchdowns, plus nine carries for 78 yards, before the injury. San Francisco could also be without WR Mike Evans (Achilles) again this week.

Ravens | Tyler Loop placed on IR, Jake Moody will kick Thursday night Tue Nov 3, 04:29 PM
The Ravens placed K Tyler Loop (right groin) on injured reserve on Tuesday. K Jake Moody, who is on the practice squad, will kick Thursday night against the Jaguars.

Saints claim Audric Estimé, a possible 'telling sign' on Travis Etienne Jr.'s return Tue Nov 3, 04:15 PM
The Saints claimed RB Audric Estimé off waivers from the Browns on Tuesday, ESPN's Adam Schefter reported. Estimé was released by New Orleans in September.
| Footballguys view: The claim "might be a telling sign" for RB Travis Etienne Jr., who is eligible to return from injured reserve (hamstring), because activating him would bring the Saints up to five running backs on the 53-man roster. We'll continue to watch for more. |

The Saints released K Daniel Carlson on Tuesday. The ninth-year kicker's release came as New Orleans also claimed RB Audric Estimé off waivers from the Browns.

Cardinals | Bam Knight in concussion protocol, status in doubt Tue Nov 3, 04:01 PM
Cardinals RB Bam Knight is in the concussion protocol, leaving his status in doubt.
| Footballguys view: RB Evan Hull is on the roster and will be active, and the Cardinals can elevate RB Jerome Ford from the practice squad if needed. But Tyler Allgeier's path to workload is clear. His matchup against the Seahawks is tough on paper, but D'Andre Swift ran for three touchdowns in Seattle on Monday Night Football. |

Luther Burden III plays 3 of 21 heavy-personnel snaps as Bears drop 3-WR sets with lead Tue Nov 3, 03:57 PM
Bears WR Luther Burden III played 3 of 21 snaps in heavy personnel in Monday's win over the Seahawks.
| Footballguys view: When the Bears established a lead, they went away from 3-WR sets, which partially explains Burden's splits between halves this season. He ranks WR3 in yards per route run in first halves and WR61 in second halves. Burden is the WR24 on WR7 usage in games with Caleb Williams this year, so Yahoo's Hayden Winks suggests it's no reason to panic. Burden is an upside WR2/3 despite the obvious inconsistency. |

Ravens | Joe Fagnano will start Thursday night vs. the Jaguars, Jesse Minter announces Tue Nov 3, 03:38 PM
Ravens head coach Jesse Minter announced on Tuesday that rookie QB Joe Fagnano will start Thursday night's Week 9 game against the Jaguars.
| Footballguys view: Fagnano has been dealing with a right ankle injury and wore a brace on his ankle at practice on Tuesday. Lamar Jackson and Tyler Huntley have been ruled out for Thursday. The Ravens added Austin Reed and Kedon Slovis for depth. But Fagnano is currently the best hope for getting the most out of the team's other skill players. |

Lions | Sione Vaki emerges as change-of-pace back, 'gained a lot of trust' per Dan Campbell Tue Nov 3, 03:24 PM
Lions RB Sione Vaki had career highs of 11 carries and 65 yards in Sunday's win over the Vikings, spelling RB Jahmyr Gibbs, who ran 23 times for 153 yards.
| Footballguys view: Gibbs leads the NFL with 191 touches through seven games. "He was going to need to get some carries for us, some significant carries. They needed to be real yards, and he was going to need to be able to pass protect for us," head coach Dan Campbell said of Vaki. Don't expect the Lions to lighten Gibbs' workload noticeably, but having a viable alternative is helpful. |

Panthers | Darren Waller off to the side at Tuesday's practice Tue Nov 3, 02:10 PM
Panthers TE Darren Waller was off to the side at the start of practice on Tuesday. Waller was also on the side with trainers at practice two weeks ago.
| Footballguys view: Waller has been a hit-or-miss streaming option in Carolina this season, delivering two touchdowns in Week 2 and a 50-yard scoring catch in Week 7. While those performances show us the high end, Waller hasn't hit that often. As CBSSports.com notes, he has one 50-yard effort in his five other appearances and 15 catches for 209 yards on 25 targets this season. The Panthers play the Broncos in Week 9. |

Jeremiyah Love headed to IR with high ankle sprain, Allgeier takes over as lead back Tue Nov 3, 01:56 PM
Cardinals RB Jeremiyah Love is headed to injured reserve with a right high ankle sprain, NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reported.
| Footballguys view: The move will sideline the rookie for a minimum of four games, with the Seahawks, Rams, Chiefs, and Commanders next on the schedule. Love's ankle got rolled underneath him in Sunday's 33-30 overtime win over the Cowboys, and he did not return; it is the third ankle injury of his rookie season. RB Tyler Allgeier, who ran for 147 yards and a touchdown on 11 carries and caught five passes for 44 yards and another score against Dallas, takes over as the lead back, although Bam Knight will also be a factor once he's cleared from the concussion protocol. |

Ravens | Joe Fagnano walks onto practice field wearing brace on injured right ankle Tue Nov 3, 01:44 PM
Ravens rookie QB Joe Fagnano walked onto the practice field on Tuesday wearing a brace around his injured right ankle. Fagnano was described as having 'a chance' to play Thursday against the Jaguars, with Lamar Jackson and Tyler Huntley ruled out.
| Footballguys view: Fagnano's availability isn't a sure thing, but the Ravens don't have great options here. The Ravens signed Austin Reed to their practice squad on Monday, and he could find himself in the mix for playing time during his first days with the team. Baltimore also signed Kedon Slovis off Green Bay's practice squad for additional depth. Stay tuned. This could go right up to game time. |

Raiders | Mark Davis: 'Absolutely no pressure whatsoever' to start Fernando Mendoza Tue Nov 3, 01:32 PM
Raiders owner Mark Davis said in a Monday interview with CNBC that there is "absolutely no pressure whatsoever" from him to start rookie QB Fernando Mendoza, the No. 1 overall pick, as reported by Adam Hill of the Las Vegas Review-Journal.
| Footballguys view: Davis said the team was "fortunate to get Kirk Cousins as someone who could bridge the gap" and added, "I think we're fortunate he doesn't have to go out and play." Davis said Mendoza is "picking it up great" and that he is "really happy with the way it is with Fernando right now, and we'll see what happens." Mendoza has made one appearance this season, completing 6 of 8 passes for 48 yards in mop-up duty in the Week 5 loss to the Patriots. |

Jaguars | Bhayshul Tuten only player not spotted at Tuesday's practice Tue Nov 3, 01:08 PM
Jaguars RB Bhayshul Tuten (foot) was the only player not spotted during the open media portion of practice on Tuesday. Tuten was estimated as a non-participant on Monday's practice report. Jacksonville plays at Baltimore on Thursday.
| Footballguys view: The short week doesn't do Tuten any favors, as the timeline is condensed with the Thursday night kickoff. That said, the Jaguars could just be giving him a break because of that -- especially after he handled a heavy workload in Week 8. If Tuten were to miss the contest, Chris Rodriguez Jr. becomes the primary back. We'll be following up on this one as developments warrant. |

Teams interested in Tony Pollard, but Titans not engaging yet Tue Nov 3, 10:09 AM
Teams are interested in Titans RB Tony Pollard, but Tennessee isn't engaging (yet). The Titans had consistently told teams that DT Jeffery Simmons would not be traded before deciding last Tuesday to listen to offers for him.
| Footballguys view: Whether their stance will change remains to be seen. Regardless, Pollard is an attractive option for any contender looking for help at the position. His contract is very affordable, relative to the veteran market, and he continues to produce at a torrid pace. How hot has it been? Pollard is the RB1 overall in fantasy over the last three games. |

Ravens | Ja'Kobi Lane has 'clearly assumed the No. 3 wide receiver role' Tue Nov 3, 09:45 AM
Ravens rookie WR Ja'Kobi Lane played 33 snaps and caught one pass in Sunday's Week 8 loss to the Bills. Since returning from injury, Lane "has clearly assumed the No. 3 wide receiver role," relegating WR Devontez Walker to eight snaps.
| Footballguys view: As CBSSports.com notes, Lane ran 21 routes on 30 dropbacks by Baltimore's three quarterbacks, but his one target represented just a 3.8% share. With Lamar Jackson (thumb) and Tyler Huntley (toe) injured, Joe Fagnano (ankle) could be in line to start Thursday night against the Jaguars. It would be a downgrade for all Ravens skill players. |

Cowboys | Jerry Jones says Dak Prescott is healthy Tue Nov 3, 09:41 AM
Cowboys QB Dak Prescott is healthy, owner Jerry Jones said on Tuesday on 105.3 The Fan. "I thought he played well (Sunday) considering the protection and us not being able to get the running game going," Jones said of Prescott's performance in Sunday's loss to the Cardinals.
| Footballguys view: For the second time this season, Prescott threw for fewer than 200 yards (195) against Arizona. His touchdown pass required a one-handed catch from WR Ryan Flournoy. Prescott was able to use his legs, picking up his first rushing touchdown of the season, but, as ESPN.com's Todd Archer suggested, for a team with so many playmakers, the Cowboys have been kept in check in three of their past four games. |

Ravens | Rapoport expects Ravens to 'consider some QB trades,' names Bagent, Brissett Tue Nov 3, 09:31 AM
With Ravens QB Lamar Jackson headed to injured reserve and QB Tyler Huntley (toe) expected to miss time, NFL Network's Ian Rapoport said, "I do expect the Baltimore Ravens to go out and consider some QB trades," naming Bears QB Tyson Bagent and Cardinals QB Jacoby Brissett as potential options.
| Footballguys view: Bagent has six career starts, including two this season, while Brissett started every game this season before being demoted this week to No. 3 on Arizona's depth chart behind Gardner Minshew II and rookie Carson Beck; Ravens QB coach Israel Woolfork coached Brissett last year in Arizona. Baltimore signed QB Austin Reed to the practice squad on Monday, and he will likely back up rookie Joe Fagnano for Thursday's game against the Jaguars, assuming Fagnano is healthy enough to play.

Texans | Stroud turned down deal similar to Lawrence's, in line for 'a bigger one' Tue Nov 3, 09:22 AM
Texans QB C.J. Stroud turned down a contract extension this summer similar to the one Jaguars QB Trevor Lawrence signed, according to sources.
| Footballguys view: Stroud is in line for a bigger deal amid a 2027 quarterback market on the rise. "He's making himself a lot of money. New tax bracket," one source said of Stroud's decision to bet on himself. So far, it's working out well for Stroud -- and fantasy investors. Stroud is currently QB12 on a points-per-game basis. The Texans face the Chargers in Week 9. |
