Texans | Jaylin Noel expected to miss the rest of the season Wed Oct 28, 05:21 PM
Texans WR Jaylin Noel is expected to miss the rest of the season, a source said on Wednesday. Noel was placed on injured reserve with a toe injury on Wednesday after suffering a turf toe injury in Sunday's loss to the Giants, which left him wearing a boot.
| Footballguys view: Toe injuries can be tricky to deal with, and they require time to properly heal. Noel was just getting more looks in the Texans' passing attack, and now he'll be eligible to return in Week 13 against the Steelers. |

Eagles | Dameon Pierce heading to IR, Eagles' top four RBs all hurt or on IR Wed Oct 28, 05:11 PM
Eagles RB Dameon Pierce is heading to injured reserve. Pierce joins RBs Tank Bigsby and Will Shipley on IR, while RB1 Saquon Barkley is dealing with back and hamstring injuries. Pierce was injured in the fourth quarter of Monday's loss to the Cowboys after taking on more of the workload with Barkley on a limited "pitch count" in his return.
| Footballguys view: Things are so thin behind Barkley -- and that's even if he's healthy enough to play. Behind Barkley is Jaydon Blue, and Elijah Mitchell is on the Eagles' practice squad. |

Lions | Kerby Joseph returns to practice as Lions open 21-day PUP window Wed Oct 28, 05:07 PM
Lions S Kerby Joseph returned to the practice field on Wednesday for the first time this season as the team opened his 21-day window to come off the PUP list. Joseph has not played in a game since Week 6 last season because of a knee injury and still has to get back into game shape and make sure the knee responds positively. Head coach Dan Campbell said Joseph has "checked all those boxes" in his rehab, adding, "the rest is just how does he react to football, movement skills of true football with real bodies and the intensity of it."

Texans | Texans claim Emari Demercado, 'not a good sign' for Montgomery after bye Wed Oct 28, 05:03 PM
The Texans were awarded RB Emari Demercado off waivers from the Cowboys on Wednesday. The beat writer called the claim "not a good sign for availability of David Montgomery (groin) after bye week." Texans RB Montgomery was ruled out for last Sunday's game against the Giants with the groin injury, and Houston is on its bye in Week 8.
| Footballguys view: The addition of Demercado could indicate the team doesn't think Montgomery will be ready after the bye. We'll see what the Texans' practice reports look like next week. |

Lions RB Jahmyr Gibbs did not participate in practice on Wednesday because of a shoulder injury. Gibbs ran for 116 yards in Sunday's win over the Packers.
| Footballguys view: The Lions could be giving Gibbs a bit of rest here. We're not overly concerned with his availability in Week 8 at this time. Let's see what Gibbs can do on Friday at the latest as the team prepares for a Week 8 contest against the Vikings. |

Rams | Davante Adams has successful hamstring surgery, 'probably closer to the shorter term' Wed Oct 28, 04:52 PM
Rams WR Davante Adams had a successful clean-out surgery on his hamstring, head coach Sean McVay said on Wednesday. McVay said "it's probably closer to the shorter term" of the six- to 10-week timeline for Adams, who is on injured reserve.
| Footballguys view: A return against the 49ers in Week 14 could be a possibility for Adams. Hopefully, your fantasy league has roster spots for injured players so Adams can be stashed until his return. |

Chiefs | Rashee Rice limited in first practice back Wed Oct 28, 04:45 PM
Chiefs WR Rashee Rice (hamstring/knee) was a limited participant in practice on Wednesday. It was his first time on the field since his hamstring injury, which kept him out of last Sunday's game against the Seahawks. Kansas City visits the Broncos on Sunday.
| Footballguys view: Rice hasn't played since Week 4 against the Raiders. This is a big road game for the Chiefs in Week 8, and the Broncos should be getting All-Pro CB Patrick Surtain II back for this contest. If he plays, you'll want to consider Rice as at least a deep flex play in Week 8. |

Patriots | A.J. Brown's injury listing clarified as knee/ankle on Wednesday report Wed Oct 28, 04:43 PM
The Patriots informed reporters on Wednesday that WR A.J. Brown's injury on the team's Wednesday injury report should be listed as knee/ankle. Brown was limited in Wednesday's practice ahead of the Week 8 game at Miami. Aside from a lengthy list of players on injured reserve, it was 'maybe the healthiest Wednesday report' the Patriots have had 'in a long time.'

Buccaneers | Baker Mayfield full participant in Wednesday's practice Wed Oct 28, 04:26 PM
Buccaneers QB Baker Mayfield (right thumb) was a full participant in practice on Wednesday. Mayfield returned from a dislocated thumb last Sunday against the Panthers, wearing a glove on the injured hand.
| Footballguys view: Mayfield completed 7-of-11 passes for 64 yards and a touchdown in the Bucs' 43-13 Week 7 win over the Panthers. They should have him throwing a bit more this week, and we've got him in the QB2 range for Fantasy GMs in Week 8. |

Dolphins | Malik Willis listed with groin injury, practices in full Wednesday Wed Oct 28, 04:26 PM
Dolphins QB Malik Willis was listed on Wednesday's injury report with a groin injury but was a full participant in practice. Several Dolphins were limited at Wednesday's practice ahead of Sunday's Week 8 game against the Patriots.
| Footballguys view: Willis has battled various injuries (toe, thumb) this year, and now he's dealing with a groin injury. He's an option as a QB2 if you play in a start-2QB/superflex league. |

Bengals | Ja'Marr Chase did not practice Wednesday due to ankle injury and rest Wed Oct 28, 04:12 PM
Bengals WR Ja'Marr Chase was listed as a non-participant in Wednesday's practice due to an ankle injury and rest. Chase had not been present at the start of Wednesday's practice. The Bengals host the Titans on Sunday.
| Footballguys view: It's a rest day, so we think he'll be good to go against the Titans. Chase is always a top-tier WR1 when he plays, but circle back Friday just to check on his status. |

Bears | Kyle Monangai on a bike in weight room, not practicing Wednesday Wed Oct 28, 04:10 PM
Bears RB Kyle Monangai (toe) was in the weight room on a bike at the start of Wednesday's practice as the team went through stretching. Chicago had the same absences on Wednesday as it did on Tuesday, when Monangai did not practice.
| Footballguys view: The Bears play the Seahawks on Monday Night Football in Week 8. That means we won't see an official injury report until Thursday. We'll know more about Monangai's status at that time. |

Jets | Garrett Wilson will not request trade before deadline: 'I want to be here' Wed Oct 28, 04:00 PM
Jets WR Garrett Wilson said on Wednesday that he has not asked to be traded and will not ask the team to deal him before the Nov. 10 trade deadline. "Yeah, I want to be here," Wilson said. "I want to win games. That's the one thing we've been missing on here. I love it here. Do I love it more than I love winning? Nah, to be completely honest. But I'm hopeful." Wilson, who was targeted three times with two catches for 26 yards in Sunday's 28-25 loss to the Dolphins, said the on-field frustration between him and QB Geno Smith was not directed at each other, and Smith said Wednesday, "I'm looking to get him the football, as much as I can. But I have to be mindful of the defense as well."
| Footballguys view: Football is an emotional sport, and sometimes emotions boil over when running hot. Wilson is a cornerstone player for the Jets, no matter what the head coach/quarterback combination may be in the future. |

Colts | Tyler Warren estimated as limited after missing two straight games Wed Oct 28, 03:53 PM
Colts TE Tyler Warren (groin) was listed as a limited participant on Wednesday's practice report. The Colts held only a walkthrough on Wednesday, so the report is an estimation of how players would have participated if practice had happened. Warren missed Sunday's game in Minnesota and was also sidelined for the Week 6 game against the Titans. The Colts visit the Jaguars in Week 8.

Falcons | Brian Robinson does not practice Wednesday Wed Oct 28, 03:50 PM
Falcons RB Brian Robinson (hamstring) did not participate in practice on Wednesday as the team began preparations for Sunday's Week 8 game at Tampa Bay. Robinson missed last Sunday's win over the 49ers, when RB Khalil Herbert was elevated to the game day roster and served as RB Bijan Robinson's backup. Herbert got a couple of carries that were impactful within drives that resulted in points.

Jaguars | Reporter believes Jaguars 'more open than ever' to Brian Thomas Jr. trade offers Wed Oct 28, 03:03 PM
The reporter believes the Jaguars are "more open than ever to listening to trade offers" for WR Brian Thomas Jr. ahead of the trade deadline. He added that Thomas' trade value is "complicated," a topic he discussed with Daniel Popper in an early trade-deadline preview.
| Footballguys view: The deadline is Nov. 10, and Thomas should have a few suitors if the Jaguars have him on the trade block. A change of scenery could be best for a receiver who hasn't caught a pass since Week 4. |

Bengals | Erick All Jr. tore ACL again; Taylor 'not nervous at all' about using Jack Endries Wed Oct 28, 03:01 PM
Bengals TE Erick All Jr. suffered his third ACL tear in his right knee in the last four seasons in last Sunday's win over the Ravens, head coach Zac Taylor confirmed on Wednesday. "It's awful for him," Taylor said. "He's been through this a couple of times before." With Tanner Hudson (pectoral) also lost for the season, rookie TE Jack Endries and TE Cam Grandy will have to "pick up the slack," and Taylor said of Endries: "I'm not nervous at all about using him. I think he's earned the opportunity."

Panthers | Jalen Coker will play Thursday at Green Bay Wed Oct 28, 02:59 PM
Panthers WR Jalen Coker (shoulder) did not receive a game status and will play Thursday night against the Packers.
| Footballguys view: Coker caught 1-of-4 targets for nine yards in the Panthers' Week 7 loss to the Bucs. That's a terrible stat line, but Fantasy GMs should still be considering him a WR2 against the Packers on Thursday Night Football. |

Bills | DJ Moore on the practice field Wednesday in a red non-contact jersey Wed Oct 28, 02:54 PM
Bills WR DJ Moore was on the practice field Wednesday wearing a red non-contact jersey, joining the wide receivers for a drill with QB Josh Allen. Head coach Joe Brady had said Wednesday that "it will be nice to get" Moore back on the field. Moore (shoulder) was listed as a limited participant on Wednesday's official injury report.
| Footballguys view: Moore has been dealing with a shoulder injury (AC joint sprain) and was inactive against the Raiders in Week 6. A Week 7 bye helped Moore get more time to get right. Let's see what his practice status is this week, Friday specifically, as the Bills prepare for a big game versus the Ravens. |

Packers | Stenavich says Jacobs 'didn't play as much as he normally would' in return Wed Oct 28, 02:30 PM
Packers offensive coordinator Adam Stenavich said on Wednesday that RB Josh Jacobs "didn't play as much as he normally would had he been here this whole time" in Sunday's loss to the Lions. "He's been out for a while. Getting him back in the swing of things," Stenavich said of Jacobs' workload. Jacobs was activated from exempt status on Saturday ahead of that game.
| Footballguys view: Jacobs is going to get more work as he continues to get back into football shape. We see him leading the team in touches from the backfield, and that makes him a borderline RB1 for Fantasy GMs out there. |

Patriots | A.J. Brown 'sometimes' still pushing through right high-ankle sprain Wed Oct 28, 02:08 PM
Patriots WR A.J. Brown said on Wednesday that he is sometimes still trying to get his explosiveness back since his right high-ankle sprain. "Yeah, sometimes. Sometimes I see it and sometimes I'm pushing through. But none of that stuff really matters. I'm out here, so...." Brown said.
| Footballguys view: Brown caught 3-of-6 targets for 48 yards in the Patriots' Week 7 loss to the Bears. He's not quite himself, and the chemistry he has with Drake Maye is a work in progress. Against the Dolphins on Sunday afternoon, we've got Brown in the WR2 range. Fantasy GMs won't be too confident, but they don't want to miss out if/when Brown has a breakout week. |

Vikings | Aaron Jones will miss Wednesday's practice Wed Oct 28, 02:03 PM
Vikings RB Aaron Jones will not practice on Wednesday, head coach Kevin O'Connell said. Jones aggravated his knee injury in Sunday's win over the Colts and was called day to day on Monday after an MRI. He had been playing through a sprained MCL since Week 2.

Colts | Jonathan Taylor has not requested a trade, per Shane Steichen Wed Oct 28, 01:50 PM
Colts RB Jonathan Taylor has not requested a trade, head coach Shane Steichen said on Wednesday.
| Footballguys view: Taylor does not need to request a move; teams should be circling around the Colts to see if they can add him via trade. With Quenton Nelson traded to the Seahawks on Tuesday, the floodgates could open as the Colts are sellers. Taylor is still a great back, and he could be a foundational player going forward. However, he could be seen as someone the Colts trade away to get more assets. |

Ravens | Rookie Adam Randall returns to practice, 21-day window opens Wed Oct 28, 01:13 PM
Ravens rookie RB Adam Randall returned to practice on Wednesday, opening his 21-day window to be activated from injured reserve. Randall was placed on injured reserve with a designation to return before the regular season. The fifth-round pick from Clemson, a converted wide receiver, played in two preseason games, totaling 17 carries for 71 yards and a touchdown plus four catches for 47 yards on six targets. Derrick Henry, Justice Hill, and Rasheen Ali lead the running back room.
| Footballguys view: Hill is the primary backup to Henry. Randall is a converted wide receiver who can be a threat on all three downs. When back on the active roster, Randall will be an option as the No. 3 back behind Hill and Henry. We appreciate him in dynasty formats. |

Commanders | Terry McLaurin placed on IR, Van Jefferson promoted from practice squad Wed Oct 28, 12:55 PM
The Commanders formally placed WR Terry McLaurin on injured reserve on Wednesday after he suffered a season-ending torn patellar tendon in a Week 6 loss to the 49ers. WR Van Jefferson was promoted from the practice squad in a corresponding move, chosen over rookie WR Jaden Bradley as a more veteran depth option. The beat writer expects WR Treylon Burks to man the X position and rookie WR Antonio Williams to see a significant increase in his snap count.
| Footballguys view: The move with McLaurin is now official, and it means he missed seven games last year and will miss 12 games this season. He's got a $34 million cap hit in 2027, but there is a potential out for the team after this year (which brings $25.5 million in dead cap). The Commanders will turn to Antonio Williams for some of the downfield work McLaurin would do. |

Commanders | Diggs held out Wednesday, rest day 'likely' weekly going forward Wed Oct 28, 12:36 PM
Commanders WR Stefon Diggs is being held out of practice on Wednesday but will be "full-go" on Thursday, head coach Dan Quinn said. Quinn said going forward this likely will be the case for Diggs each week, and that it was not related to the hand injury Diggs appeared to suffer against the 49ers.
| Footballguys view: It's what many veterans do around the league. We're just left to wonder what ailment Diggs is dealing with. He's out on Wednesday, but we're expecting full participation on Thursday. That means Diggs is good to go for the Week 8 game against the Eagles. We like him in the WR2/flex range for Fantasy GMs in PPR formats. |
