Buccaneers | Baker Mayfield full participant again on Thursday Thu Oct 29, 04:11 PM
Buccaneers QB Baker Mayfield (right thumb) was a full participant in practice on Thursday. Mayfield was also a full participant on Wednesday. He wore a glove on his dislocated thumb in last Sunday's win over the Panthers. Tampa Bay hosts the Falcons on Sunday.
| Footballguys view: Let's see if Mayfield throws it more than 11 times this week. Against the Falcons in Week 8, Mayfield should be a QB2. We like Egbuka in the WR2/flex range for Fantasy GMs in PPR formats. |

Bears RB Kyle Monangai (toe) was listed as a non-participant on the team's estimated injury report on Thursday. Monangai also did not practice on Tuesday or Wednesday, when he was seen working on a bike in the weight room. He missed the Bears' Week 7 game against the Patriots with the toe injury.
| Footballguys view: The game is on Monday against the Seahawks, but it looks like Monangai may have to miss another game. D'Andre Swift is the lead back, and he should post RB2 numbers for Fantasy GMs in Week 8. |

Jaguars RB LeQuint Allen Jr. was added to the team's injury report on Thursday with a hamstring injury. He was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.

Browns RB Dylan Sampson (knee) was a full participant in practice on Thursday. He had been limited on Wednesday.
| Footballguys view: Good news for the Browns here. Sampson is the change-of-pace back for the team, and he's worth considering as a 'what the heck' flex in PPR formats. |
Dylan Sampson player page
Lions RB Jahmyr Gibbs (shoulder) returned to practice on Thursday after missing Wednesday's session. Gibbs downplayed the injury after practice, saying he was surprised by an alert on his phone listing him as questionable. "Yeah, just got dinged up a little bit, a little shoulder thing, but I'm good, though. I'm straight," Gibbs said. There are no indications the injury will affect his availability against the Vikings on Sunday.
| Footballguys view: Gibbs says he's good to go, and Fantasy GMs can start him as per usual. The Vikings defense will throw the kitchen sink at the Lions' offense, but Gibbs could still finish with RB1 production. |

Buccaneers WR Chris Godwin Jr. did not practice on Thursday because of a veteran rest day. DT A'Shawn Robinson was also given a rest day. Tampa Bay hosts the Falcons on Sunday.

Colts TE Tyler Warren (groin) was a limited participant again on Thursday, the Colts' first on-field practice of the week after a walkthrough on Wednesday. Warren, who has missed the last two games, was also limited on Wednesday. TE Drew Ogletree (knee) was limited as well ahead of Sunday's game against the Jaguars.
| Footballguys view: Warren has been out of action for a couple of games, but this week he's been limited in two days of practice. Another limited practice on Friday isn't total clarity, but a full participation would make it seem like he's ready to return in Week 8. Stay tuned, and check back on Friday to see what Warren's status is. |

Jets RB Breece Hall (quadriceps) was a limited participant in practice on Thursday as the team prepares for its Week 8 game against the Raiders. Hall was also limited on Wednesday after missing last Sunday's game against the Dolphins with the quad injury.
| Footballguys view: Hall was back in action last week, but the team decided to give him one more week of rest. Braelon Allen has been doing a fine job filling in as the lead back. In fact, even when Hall is back at full strength, we should see Allen get more touches than he was previously behind Hall. This dings Hall's fantasy value slightly, and Fantasy GMs will have to adjust to a new role for Allen once Hall is back (perhaps as soon as this week). |
Breece Hall player page
Buccaneers WR Emeka Egbuka was limited in practice on Thursday. Egbuka, who is working back from a concussion, practiced in a regular, not non-contact, jersey on Thursday after being limited on Wednesday.
| Footballguys view: Egbuka is working his way through league protocol. If he plays in Week 8 against the Falcons, we like him as a WR2/flex option. |
Emeka Egbuka player page
Vikings RB Aaron Jones Sr. (knee) returned to practice on Thursday. Jones had been held out of practice on Wednesday, head coach Kevin O'Connell said. Jones has been playing through a sprained MCL since Week 2 and has been considered day to day. The Vikings play at the Lions on Sunday.
| Footballguys view: Jones is back in action, and that's a good sign for Week 8's game against the Lions. He's working in an RBBC with Jordan Mason, and Fantasy GMs should consider Jones more of a deep flex play in his current role. Mason is more of an RB3/flex play in his current role. Circle back Friday to see if Jones is still on track to play in Week 8. |
Aaron Jones Sr. player page
Commanders head coach Dan Quinn said on Wednesday that the team plans a bigger role for RB Austin Ekeler with RB Jacory Croskey-Merritt on injured reserve. "Now that he's back, we'll need to lean in more, and he's able to handle a bigger workload now," Quinn said. "It's the right play." Ekeler averaged 7.3 yards per carry in his Week 4 return against the Colts but has carried the ball only four times since, and Croskey-Merritt is out for at least the next month.
| Footballguys view: Croskey-Merritt has been dealing with this groin injury all season long, and now he's going to get time to properly heal. That means the Commanders will be looking for guys like Ekeler to do more. Rachaad White rushed seven times for 27 yards in the Commanders' Week 6 loss to the 49ers, adding 30 yards and a touchdown on four receptions. After the Week 7 bye, we'll see if Ekeler gets more work with White in the Commanders' backfield. |
Austin Ekeler player page
Seahawks head coach Mike Macdonald said on Thursday that he doesn't think WR Rashid Shaheed (knee) will practice that day. Shaheed was ruled out of Sunday's game against the Chiefs after suffering the knee injury.
| Footballguys view: Early returns are positive about Shaheed's knee injury according to Macdonald. The Seahawks play on Monday night against the Bears, but we may not have clarity on Shaheed's status until Saturday. He's not been much of a factor this year on offense. |
Rashid Shaheed player page
Falcons RB Brian Robinson Jr. did not practice on Thursday because of a hamstring injury. It was his second straight missed practice, putting his availability for Sunday's game against the Buccaneers in question.
| Footballguys view: Khalil Herbert will get the work as the primary backup to Bijan Robinson is Brian Robinson has to miss another game. Herbert rushed two times for nine yards in the Falcons' Week 7 win over the 49ers. |
Brian Robinson Jr player page
Patriots RB TreVeyon Henderson walked out of the locker room in street clothes with a backpack on as reporters entered for scheduled media access on Thursday. Henderson was also absent from the beginning of Thursday's practice, Doug Kyed reported. Henderson returned from an ankle injury earlier this month.
| Footballguys view: Henderson is listed as "DNP" for Thursday's practice with an illness designation. That may not keep him out of the game in Week 8, but Fantasy GMs should circle back on Friday. We've got him as a flex play against the Dolphins on Sunday. |
TreVeyon Henderson player page
Bills TE Dalton Kincaid was still wearing a red non-contact jersey at practice on Thursday. Kincaid also wore the non-contact jersey on Wednesday. He left the October 18 game with a rib injury before returning in the fourth quarter.
| Footballguys view: Kincaid had a bye in Week 7 to get right, and he's trending in the right direction. A non-contact jersey is not a great start in back-to-back days of practice this week. Let's see what Friday's injury report reveals about Kincaid's status. |
Dalton Kincaid player page
Seahawks rookie RB Jadarian Price was designated for return to practice on Thursday, as head coach Mike Macdonald said would happen during his Monday press conference. Price, Seattle's first-round pick, has missed four games on injured reserve with a chest injury. Macdonald said it is possible that Price and RB Zach Charbonnet could play in Monday night's Week 8 game against the Bears, but no definitive decision on their availability had been made early in the week.
| Footballguys view: Price could be back sooner rather than later as he's coming back from the chest injury that forced him out the minimum four games. With the return of Zach Charbonnet as well, the Seahawks could be using both backs in an RBBC. When both are active, we'll have Price in the flex range from a fantasy perspective. |
Zach Charbonnet player page
Bills WR DJ Moore (shoulder) practiced in a red non-contact jersey on Thursday. The Bills host the Ravens on Sunday.
| Footballguys view: Moore has missed the past two games with this shoulder problem, and the team had a Week 7 bye. He's in a non-contact jersey, but the signs are there for him to play in Week 8. If he does play against the Ravens, we like Moore in the WR2/flex range for Fantasy GMs out there. |
DJ Moore player page
Patriots WR A.J. Brown (ankle/knee) was not seen at practice on Thursday. Brown was also absent during the open locker-room period earlier in the day, which is a change in routine. He has been listed as a limited participant in practices since his return from injured reserve, and the knee injury added to his listing on Wednesday was a new development.
| Footballguys view: Brown was limited on Wednesday, so clearly he's downgraded to a "DNP" on Thursday. That's not a good sign for his availability in Week 8. His status for the game against the Dolphins is unknown, so Fantasy GMs need to circle back on Friday to see if he's at least questionable. |
A.J. Brown player page
There was 'no sign' of Eagles RB Saquon Barkley at Thursday's practice, the team's first practice of the week. Barkley, who is dealing with hamstring and back injuries, was estimated as a non-participant on Wednesday.
| Footballguys view: Barkley is clearly on the wrong side of questionable for Sunday's game against the Commanders. The Eagles could be down to Jaydon Blue and Elijah Mitchell at the running back position if Barkley can't play. |

Packers CB Keisean Nixon has been listed as questionable for Thursday night's home game against the Panthers with a shoulder injury. The Packers made the late change to their injury report on Thursday.

Bengals WR Ja'Marr Chase returned to practice on Thursday after missing Wednesday's session with what was listed as rest and an ankle injury. Chase's return comes ahead of Sunday's Week 8 game against the Titans.
| Footballguys view: Chase gets some rest in the middle of the week. He's good to go for Week 8, and he's a set-it-and-forget-it WR1 of the highest level (as per usual). |
Ja'Marr Chase player page
Ravens QB Lamar Jackson, who has been dealing with an ankle sprain, is practicing again on Thursday. Jackson was a full participant in Wednesday's practice.

Titans rookie WR Carnell Tate (shoulder) will not practice again on Thursday. Tate also did not practice on Wednesday, putting his status for Sunday's game at the Bengals in question.

Ravens S Kyle Hamilton was back at practice on Thursday. Hamilton walked off the practice field with a brace on his right knee on Wednesday. Baltimore visits the Bills on Sunday.

Ravens LB Roquan Smith was back at practice on Thursday. Smith was not spotted at Wednesday's practice after suffering a knee injury in last Sunday's game against the Bengals. The Ravens play at the Bills in Week 8.

Buccaneers RB Kenny Gainwell has returned to practice on Thursday as he deals with a hip injury. Gainwell suffered the injury in last Sunday's win over the Panthers and was listed as questionable to return in that game. Tampa Bay hosts the Falcons in Week 8 on Sunday.

Buccaneers WR Emeka Egbuka practiced in a regular jersey rather than a non-contact jersey on Thursday as he works back from a concussion. Egbuka had practiced in a non-contact jersey and was limited on Wednesday. Head coach Todd Bowles called him 'questionable' for Week 8 on Monday.

The Titans have told teams they do not want to trade an offensive player like RB Tony Pollard because they need to figure out who QB Cam Ward is. Ward, a second-year player, has zero touchdown passes in quarters 1-3 this season. Tennessee has already traded DT Jeffery Simmons.

The Bears acquired All-Pro DT Jeffrey Simmons from the Titans on Thursday, sending two first-round picks and a fourth-round pick to Tennessee. Chicago also gets a 2028 fifth-round pick back in the deal, Adam Schefter reported. Simmons ranks third among all defensive tackles with 24 pressures this season. He is 29 and will turn 30 before next season.
Link to storyThe Titans are trading All-Pro DT Jeffery Simmons and a 2028 fifth-round pick to the Bears, ESPN's Adam Schefter reported on Thursday. Tennessee receives first-round picks in 2027 and 2028 as well as a 2027 fourth-round pick. Simmons is in his eighth season, all with the Titans.

The Bears have acquired Jeffrey Simmons and a 2028 fifth-round pick from the Titans. Tennessee receives Chicago's 2027 and 2028 first-round picks and a 2027 fourth-round pick in the deal. The trade follows the Packers sending two first-round picks for DE Micah Parsons, another major NFC North move for a defender.
Link to storyBengals WR Ja'Marr Chase 'should be ok' for Sunday's game against the Titans, it was reported on Thursday. Chase did not practice on Wednesday due to an ankle injury and rest.

There was some confidence on Wednesday that Vikings RB Aaron Jones Sr. (knee) will be available for Sunday's Week 8 game against the Lions. Jones had previously been called 'day to day' and has played with a sprained MCL since Week 2.
| Footballguys view: Jones has been playing with this for over a month, and the Vikings have given him quite the workload. With Jordan Mason back last week, the Vikings moved to more of an RBBC. That should help Jones as he continues to deal with - and likely play through - this knee problem. |
Aaron Jones Sr. player page
Packers WR Matthew Golden (shoulder), who is listed as questionable, is trending towards playing in Thursday night's game against the Panthers, it was reported on Thursday.

Eagles RB Saquon Barkley is among the players Philadelphia may shop ahead of the November 10 trade deadline, as executives around the league believe the 2-5 Eagles will look to offload at least some contracts and clear cap space. One AFC executive said Barkley's lingering hamstring injury and the back injury he suffered in Monday's loss to the Cowboys will likely hamper his value, since teams more often trade for running backs to help in the same year. Two NFC executives debated Barkley's value, one thinking it could reach as high as an early second-round pick while the other estimated it closer to a fourth. DT Moro Ojomo, TE Dallas Goedert and CB Riq Woolen were also named as players the Eagles may test the market for.
| Footballguys view: Even with his lingering injuries, Barkley would have at least a few teams interested if he's available. The Eagles are always in the market because GM Howie Roseman is addicted to trading. We'll see if another team offers the Eagles enough to get Barkley. It's unlikely to take a premium pick (or picks) to get the veteran back. |

Buccaneers WR Emeka Egbuka was limited in practice on Wednesday as he continues to deal with concussion and foot injuries. Tampa Bay hosts the Falcons in Week 8 on Sunday, with Thursday's practice offering another indication of progress before game designations come out Friday.

Rams head coach Sean McVay did not rule out having both K Brandon McManus and K Joshua Karty on the 48-man game-day roster. The comments leave the Rams' kicking duties uncertain heading into Sunday's game against the Chargers.

Eagles WR DeVonta Smith (hamstring) would not have practiced on Wednesday, according to the team's estimated injury report. The Eagles held only a walkthrough on Wednesday.

Eagles WR Dontayvion Wicks (ankle) would not have participated in practice on Wednesday, according to the team's estimated report.
| Footballguys view: The Eagles held only a walk-through on Wednesday. Philadelphia plays at the Commanders on Sunday night. We'll have to see what Friday is like for any banged-up Eagles player. |
Dontayvion Wicks player page
Eagles RB Saquon Barkley (hamstring/back) would not have participated in practice on Wednesday, according to the team's estimated report. The Eagles held only a walk-through on Wednesday, so the report is an estimation. Philadelphia visits the Commanders on Sunday night in Week 8.
| Footballguys view: Barkley has been dealing with his hamstring injury since Week 4, but he picked up a back injury in Week 7. Let's see what Friday brings as the Eagles are incredibly thin at the running back position. Jaydon Blue is behind Barkley, and Elijah Mitchell is on their practice squad. |
Saquon Barkley player page
Cowboys WR George Pickens (shoulder/hamstring) was a limited participant in practice on Wednesday. The Cowboys host the Cardinals on Sunday in Week 8.

Chargers S Derwin James Jr. (hamstring) did not practice on Wednesday. Head coach Jim Harbaugh said earlier Wednesday that James had a setback in his rehab and could potentially go on injured reserve.
Link to storyDerwin James Jr. player page
Chargers WR Ladd McConkey (concussion) was a full participant in practice on Wednesday. It was the Chargers' first injury report ahead of Sunday's Week 8 game at the Rams.
| Footballguys view: McConkey and a simplified offense can help the Chargers look better in Week 8. The matchup is better than some would think, and if McConkey is out there, we like him as a flex play with upside. Coming off a bye with tons to prove, the Chargers could use a good game here. |
Ladd McConkey player page
Cowboys WR George Pickens (shoulder/hamstring) was a limited participant in practice on Wednesday. Pickens took a hit to his right shoulder in Monday night's win over the Eagles.
| Footballguys view: Let's see what Pickens can do on Friday, as he's limited on Wednesday with a known shoulder issue and now a new hamstring designation. Pickens should produce like a WR2 (borderline WR1) against the Cardinals in Week 8. |
George Pickens player page
Cardinals RB Tyler Allgeier was not on the field during the open portion of Wednesday's practice. He was among a handful of Arizona players absent during the viewing window ahead of Sunday's game at Dallas.
| Footballguys view: Allgeier ran the ball eight times for 19 yards in the Cardinals' Week 7 loss to the Broncos, plus he had three catches for 30 yards. He's barely getting more work than Bam Knight, and Allgeier hasn't been much of a fantasy factor. We see him as a flex play if Jeremiyah Love has to miss more time. |
Tyler Allgeier player page
Broncos CB Pat Surtain II (ankle) was a full participant in practice on Wednesday. His full session is a "really good sign" for his potential return for Sunday's game against the Chiefs. Surtain was ruled out for the Broncos' Thursday night game against the Seahawks two weeks ago with the ankle injury.
Link to storyPatrick Surtain II player page
Raiders TE Brock Bowers was a limited participant in practice on Wednesday because of a calf injury.
| Footballguys view: We've seen this with Bowers before. Bowers was also limited last Wednesday with a hamstring/calf injury before upgrading to full practice on Thursday. Let's see if the plan is the same this week for the superstar tight end. |
Brock Bowers player page
Broncos WR Jaylen Waddle (chest) did not practice on Wednesday ahead of Denver's Week 8 game against the Chiefs. Waddle played in the Broncos' Week 7 win over the Cardinals. The Broncos will share another practice report on Thursday before releasing Week 8 game statuses on Friday.
| Footballguys view: Waddle aggravated a chest injury in Sunday's win over the Cardinals. Facing the Chiefs at home on Sunday, the Broncos offense would benefit from Waddle's presence. He's only really had one good/big game this year as Bo Nix has been struggling. Nix seems to be bouncing back after a good game against the Cardinals, and we'll see if the Broncos offense can produce at a better level -- with or without Waddle in Week 8. |
Jaylen Waddle player page
Browns RB Dylan Sampson (knee) was a limited participant in practice on Wednesday. The Browns visit the Steelers on Sunday.
| Footballguys view: Sampson played on offense last week for the first time in 2026, coming back from this knee injury. In Week 7, he had six rushes for 45 yards in the win against the Titans, adding three catches for 32 yards. Sampson is a flex play as the clear-cut receiving back for the Browns offense. |
Dylan Sampson player page
Raiders QB Kirk Cousins said on Wednesday that WR Jalen Nailor has been getting open and needs more chances in the offense. "When you watch the tape, you see him separating. I've told him you're doing a lot of good things. I need to give you opportunities to make it right," Cousins said, pointing to a late route against the Bills on which he overthrew Nailor and to "a couple of other examples" in Sunday's loss to the Rams. "He's beating his guy. That's all he can do. And then it's our job to give him opportunities to make plays," Cousins added.
| Footballguys view: He's running the routes, but the Raiders aren't getting him the ball much. Nailor caught 2-of-5 targets for 14 yards in the Raiders' Week 7 loss against the Rams. He's yet to be a waiver-wire addition, but that could change if Cousins starts sending it in his direction. |
