Washington Commanders WR Terry McLaurin (quadriceps) is unlikely to be available to play in the Week 10 game, according to head coach Dan Quinn.
| Footballguys view: "I don't foresee [McLaurin]) making it for this weekend," Quinn said. "Knowing it's game-game-bye, that has an effect. But I don't have a timetable today." On Sunday, ESPN's Adam Schefter reported that McLaurin could miss "possibly multiple weeks" due to the latest injury. Washington hosts Detroit next week and then heads over to Madrid to face the Miami Dolphins in Week 11 before a much-needed bye week. If that's the timeline, McLaurin could miss three games and have an extra week of rest before returning Week 13 against the Denver Broncos. We'll be watching for more. |

Washington Commanders QB Jayden Daniels (elbow) has officially been diagnosed with a dislocated elbow and does not have a timetable at this point, according to head coach Dan Quinn.
| Footballguys view: The decision to have Daniels in the game while down 31 points in a blowout came back to bite the Commanders. Quinn acknowledged he erred by not paying enough attention to the possibility of Daniels being at risk. "I know many of you have been asking about the thought process of Jayden being in the game in that situation," Quinn said. "I get that. I've been thinking about it, honestly, nonstop too. For me, the answer is 'I missed it.' That's 100 percent on me." It's on Quinn, but we'll all pay a price with Daniels out. |
New York Jets WR Garrett Wilson (knee) is expected to participate in practice this week, according to head coach Aaron Glenn.
| Footballguys view: A return to practice would put Wilson in line to suit up for the team's Week 10 matchup against the Cleveland Browns. Wilson has been the Jets' most reliable receiver so far this 2025 season. Through six games this season, he leads New York in targets (56), receptions (36), receiving yards (395), and receiving touchdowns (4). We'll continue to monitor his progress in coming days. |
For the second consecutive season, Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski is relinquishing playcalling duties. Stefanski said Monday that offensive coordinator Tommy Rees will call plays Sunday in the team's road game against the New York Jets. The 2-6 Browns returned from the bye and held a practice on Monday.
| Footballguys view: Last season, Stefanski gave up playcalling duties to then-OC Ken Dorsey seven games into the season as the Browns posted the lowest-scoring offense in the league. This year, the Browns have the third-lowest scoring offense in the NFL, averaging 15.8 points per game. Cleveland made a change at quarterback four games into the season, benching the since-traded veteran Joe Flacco for rookie Dillon Gabriel. The move, though, hasn't been enough to jump-start Cleveland's offense. Stefanski confirmed that Gabriel would continue to be the team's starting quarterback. We'll see if this change has a greater impact than last year's. |
Chicago Bears DE Dayo Odeyingbo (Achilles) has been diagnosed with a torn Achilles tendon and will miss the rest of the season, according to sources.

Washington Commanders CB Marshon Lattimore (knee) has been diagnosed with a torn anterior cruciate ligament, according to a source.
| Footballguys view: Acquired from the Saints last November, Lattimore had started in each of his first nine games of his first full season with Washington, tallying 27 tackles, seven pass breakups, one interception, and one fumble recovery. As CBSSports.com suggests, given the timing of the injury, Lattimore is unlikely to make a full recovery from surgery in advance of the Commanders' offseason program this spring. However, he'll have a chance at being cleared before the start of the 2026 season if he avoids any setbacks in the rehab process. |

San Francisco 49ers DE Mykel Williams (knee) has been diagnosed with a torn anterior cruciate ligament after undergoing tests to confirm the injury, according to a source.
| Footballguys view: This development marks the latest setback for a 49ers roster already dealing with multiple key injuries, including season-ending losses to linebacker Fred Warner and defensive end Nick Bosa, the team's two top defenders. The 49ers selected Williams with the 11th overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft. In his rookie season, he recorded 20 tackles (four for loss), three quarterback hits, a sack, and a fumble recovery across nine games. |
Cincinnati Bengals RB Samaje Perine (ankle) has been diagnosed with a high ankle sprain, according to head coach Zac Taylor.
| Footballguys view: As previously noted, Perine has been playing well in recent weeks. Joe Flacco has revived the Bengals offense, so the veteran back was actually worth a roster spot in some leagues. The Bengals have a Week 10 bye, so it's possible Perine won't miss any time. If he does, Chase Brown will be the clear lead back, with sixth-round pick Tahj Brooks as the backup. We'll monitor and report back as developments warrant. |

New York Jets QB Tyrod Taylor (knee) is expected to participate in practice this week, according to head coach Aaron Glenn.
| Footballguys view: Taylor appeared to be set to move ahead of a struggling Justin Fields as the team's starting quarterback last week. However, a knee injury ultimately led to Taylor being ruled out ahead of the Jets' matchup with the Bengals. Aaron Glenn, fresh off the bye week, remained mum on his starting quarterback for Sunday against the Browns. Fields is expected to get the nod, but Glenn said he will let it play out until Sunday. We'll keep watching, but Taylor seems all but certain to open this week watching from the sidelines. |

New York Giants QB Jaxson Dart (shoulder) did not suffer any serious shoulder injury after taking a hit in the Week 9 game and will be fine, according to head coach Brian Daboll.
| Footballguys view: Keeping Dart in the locked and upright position has to be a goal in New York as the rookie continues to make plays despite less-than-ideal situations. Dart went 24-of-33 passing for 191 yards and two TDs for a 107.0 passer rating in the Week 9 loss to San Francisco. The signal-caller also led the Giants with eight carries for 56 yards and a score. Even in a blowout, Dart kept battling and battling. That mentality helps the Giants and fantasy investors. The Giants play the Bears in Week 10. |
New England Patriots WR Kayshon Boutte (hamstring) is considered day-to-day because of the hamstring injury he suffered in Week 9 and is expected to miss some practice time early in the week, according to head coach Mike Vrabel.
| Footballguys view: "I think Kayshon's going to be day-to-day, but I don't see him practicing early in the week," Vrabel told reporters on Monday. Boutte was limited to just 18 offensive snaps before leaving Sunday's 24-23 win over the Falcons. He has 23 catches for 431 yards and five touchdowns this season. Kyle Williams saw an uptick in playing time after his injury on Sunday. The Patriots play Tampa Bay in Week 10. |

Minnesota Vikings RB Aaron Jones (shoulder) is dealing with soreness in the shoulder he injured in Week 9, but head coach Kevin O'Connell said there is a chance that Jones will be available for Week 10.
| Footballguys view: O'Connell told reporters on Monday that Jones' right shoulder is "sore" following Sunday's win at Detroit, but the Vikings received "positive news early on." They will see if Jones can increase his activity level as the week goes on, Kevin Seifert of ESPN.com reports. Jones was the clear lead back ahead of Jordan Mason on Sunday and was at 98 total yards on only nine carries and two receptions before leaving. Mason would start if Jones can't play against the Ravens this week. |

Dallas Cowboys practice squad TE Princeton Fant was elevated to the active roster Monday, Nov. 3, and will be available for the Week 9 game.
Link to storyDallas Cowboys practice squad RB Malik Davis was signed to the 53-man roster Monday, Nov. 3. Terms of the contract were not disclosed.
Link to storyDallas Cowboys C Cooper Beebe (ankle) was activated from the Reserve/Injured list Monday, Nov. 3. The team also placed LB Jack Sanborn (groin) on the Reserve/Injured list.
Link to storyLos Angeles Rams WR Puka Nacua (rib) is scheduled to undergo a scan on the rib injury he suffered during the Week 9 game, but head coach Sean McVay said he is optimistic about Nacua's availability.
| Footballguys view: Despite not finishing the game, Nacua continued his elite-level season in Week 9, catching seven of eight targets for 95 yards and one touchdown before leaving. He's now ranked third in all of the NFL in receiving yards (711), behind the Seattle Seahawks' Jaxon Smith-Njigba (948) and the Cincinnati Bengals' Ja'Marr Chase (831). Even with a missed game and a bye week, Nacua ranks fourth in total fantasy points at his position. His 21.3-point per game average leads all wideouts. We'll monitor his progress as the Week 10 meeting with the Niners draws nearer. |

Houston Texans QB C.J. Stroud (concussion) is going through the concussion protocol, according to head coach DeMeco Ryans.
| Footballguys view: This is Stroud's second concussion, with him sustaining the first against the New York Jets in December 2023. As Footballguy injury expert Adam Hutchison noted, even if we can't assess the severity of a concussion based on how it looks, history suggests that NFL quarterbacks typically miss at least one game following a head injury. Stroud missed two games after his 2023 concussion. The Texans are 3-5 and host the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 10. If Stroud can't clear the concussion protocol this week, expect Davis Mills to start. |

Arizona Cardinals LB Cody Simon (illness) was added to the Week 9 injury report Monday, Nov. 3, because of an illness and is listed as questionable.
Link to storyPackers tight end Tucker Kraft is out for the season. An MRI confirmed today what was feared yesterday: Kraft suffered a torn ACL in Sunday's loss to the Panthers, according to multiple reports.
| Footballguys view: The recovery time for a torn ACL is such that there's no chance of Kraft playing again this season, and he could be in jeopardy for the start of the 2026 season as well. Kraft leads the team with 489 receiving yards and six touchdowns, and he has emerged as one of the best tight ends in the NFL this season. He won't be easy to replace, but Luke Musgrave will get the opportunity to do that. |
Tucker Kraft player page
Cleveland Browns WR Cedric Tillman (hamstring) was designated to return from the Reserve/Injured list Monday, Nov. 3.
| Footballguys view: Tillman has been out since suffering a hamstring injury against Detroit in Week 4. He has caught 11 passes for 106 yards with a pair of touchdowns so far this season. A limited passing attack in Cleveland also limits our interest in Tillman. He's a viable depth option in deeper leagues, but keep expectations in check. |
Washington Commanders WR Luke McCaffrey (collarbone) suffered broken collarbone in Week 9 and is headed to Injured Reserve.
| Footballguys view: McCaffrey left Sunday night's game after returning the opening kickoff. The 2024 third-round pick had 11 catches for 203 yards and three touchdowns this season. |
Washington Commanders CB Marshon Lattimore (knee) is believed to have suffered a torn anterior cruciate ligament Sunday, Nov. 2.
| Footballguys view: Lattimore will have an MRI to confirm the initial diagnosis and his season will be over if that torn ACL is confirmed. |

Washington Commanders QB Jayden Daniels (elbow) received X-rays on his dislocated left elbow, which were negative. He'll undergo an MRI Monday, Nov. 3, to determine how long he's out.
| Footballguys view: The belief, per NFL Network's Rapoport, is that the dislocation might not be as bad as it could have been. But even if the news is good, the signal-caller is expected to miss several games. Marcus Mariota started the previous three games Daniels sat out and went 1-2 with four touchdowns and four interceptions. He would be in line to start again, with Daniels expected to miss a few games. The Commanders face the Lions and Dolphins (in Madrid, Spain) before a Week 12 bye. |
Miami Dolphins LB Jaelan Phillips was acquired by the Philadelphia Eagles Monday, Nov. 3, in exchange for a 2026 third-round pick.
| Footballguys view: Phillips has three sacks in nine games this season and 26 in his five-year career with Miami. In Philadelphia, Phillips will reunite with Eagles defensive coordinator Vic Fangio, who was the coordinator in Miami in 2023. Phillips had 6.5 sacks in eight games that season. The Eagles have been unsteady at the edge position all season, but reinforcements are on the way; Brandon Graham came out of retirement, Nolan Smith is coming off IR and could play as early this week, and now Phillips is in the fold, joining a group that includes Jalyx Hunt, Joshua Uche, and Patrick Johnson. |

Commanders QB Jayden Daniels did, in fact, suffer a dislocated elbow midway through the fourth quarter of Sunday night's loss to Seattle, sources tell ESPN's Adam Schefter.
| Footballguys view: Speaking after the game, Washington coach Dan Quinn said he had no details on the injury other than that it was to Daniels' left elbow. The second-year QB is scheduled to undergo an MRI on Monday to confirm the injury and to help determine how long he'll be sidelined. It's the third injury this season for Daniels and appears to be the most serious. He missed two games with a sprained knee and one with a hamstring injury, with Marcus Mariota replacing him. We'll continue to follow this one closely. |

Link to storySeattle Seahawks QB Sam Darnold completed 21-of-24 passes for 330 yards, four touchdowns and one interception in Week 9 against the Washington Commanders. With a blowout score, he was rested for the second half of the fourth quarter. QB Drew Lock mopped up.
| Footballguys view: Darnold might well have had the best game of his career and certainly his best first half, one in which he completed every pass he threw for 282 yards, a perfect 158.3 rating, and four touchdowns -- tops in his career for an opening half. Seattle scored on each of its five first-half possessions and Darnold completed his first 17 passes of the night, matching Warren Moon for the franchise record. Jaxon Smith-Njigba continued to emerge as one of the league's best wideouts, but Darnold was the star. The Seahawks play Arizona in Week 10. |

Seattle Seahawks WR Jaxon Smith-Njigba posted eight receptions for 129 yards on nine targets in Week 9 against the Washington Commanders, while posting a single rushing attempt for 11 yards.
| Footballguys view: Smith-Njigba extended his streak of over 100 receiving yards to four games. It was the breakout superstar's sixth time surpassing the century mark in eight starts this year, resulting in a 58-948-4 receiving line over that span. He became the fifth player in the Super Bowl era with at least 75 yards in each of his first eight games, joining Minnesota Vikings WR Adam Thielen (2018), Pittsburgh Steelers WR Antonio Brown (2014), Dallas Cowboys WR Michael Irvin (1995), and San Francisco 49ers TE Dwight Clark (1982). The Seahawks face the Cardinals' bottom-third-ranked pass defense in Week 10. |

Buffalo Bills RB James Cook posted 27 carries for 114 yards in Week 9 against the Kansas City Chiefs, and he had an 11-yard reception on his lone target.
| Footballguys view: Kansas City had gone 27 straight games, including playoffs, without allowing a 100-yard rusher. Still, Cook broke the century mark, becoming the first player to gain 100 yards against the Chiefs' defense since Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson in Week 1 of the 2024 NFL season. Cook was sidelined early during the first half on the Bills' second offensive drive after sustaining what appeared to be an ankle injury that required attention from athletic trainers. He returned after having it taped up. The Bills play the Dolphins in Week 10. |
Cincinnati Bengals LB Barrett Carter registered 10 tackles, including five solo, against the Chicago Bears in Week 9.

Los Angeles Rams QB Matthew Stafford completed 24-of-32 passes for 281 yards, four touchdowns and no interceptions in Week 9 against the New Orleans Saints, while running four times for minus-4 yards.
| Footballguys view: As NFL.com suggested, Stafford got whatever he wanted against the New Orleans defense, playing point guard with aplomb. Seven players had at least two catches and double-digit yards. Although he left early with a minor chest issue, Puka Nacua's return helped open up the offense. Whether it was short tosses to his tight ends or deep shots to Davante Adams, Stafford was on his game from the start. With Stafford and Adams vibing, the Rams' red zone offense can be deadly. Add a smothering defense and an offense in a groove, the 6-2 Rams are a force in the NFC. |
