It was a limited session, but it suggests there’s not much concern about Garrett’s ability to play on Sunday in England. Kevin Stefanski called Garrett “day to day” yesterday, and Garrett has already played off DNPs ahead of Week 1 when he was dealing with a hip injury. Garrett is more than likely going to make Carson Wentz’s life miserable in Week 5.02 October 2025
We have no concerns about Njoku suiting up on Sunday. He likely will be removed from the final injury report without a setback on Friday. Njoku figures to be a low-floor, low-ceiling option against the Vikings in Week 5 as Dillon Gabriel makes his NFL debut.02 October 2025
We never love to see a mid-week downgrade and unfortunately that’s what happened with Newsome today. It’s possible this is a blip, but it also could be a mid-practice injury that sends him to the inactives for Week 5. We’ll check in on him again tomorrow. If Newsome were out, it would increase the appeal of Minnesota’s wideout room as Cleveland’s depth corners behind Denzel Ward and Newsome are not well-regarded.02 October 2025
Goedert missed Wednesday’s practice with a knee issue, but it appears to have been a maintenance day. We have seen him listed with a knee condition earlier this season — it’s possible this is just a nagging injury that continues to get listed every once in a while — but this makes it feel likely that he’ll play in Week 5 against the Broncos. He’d be a low-end TE1 if he made it to game time.

Ricks has not logged a defensive snap this season. He played on 15 snaps in 2024 and 316 as a rookie in 2023. In his career, Ricks has 17 tackles and two pass breakups. The Eagles also waived OLB Antwaun Powell-Ryland and DT Jacob Sykes and DE K.J. Henry to the practice squad.02 October 2025
Barring a major shift on Friday, it appears likely that Jackson will miss Week 5’s game against the Texans. Cooper Rush will be entrusted with starting quarterback duties if Jackson misses the game and will be a rough superflex play against a good Texans pass defense. Previous reports had Jackson unlikely to play in Week 5 and potentially not up for Week 6’s game against the Rams either. John Harbaugh did nothing to alleviate concerns earlier when he essentially no-commented on Jackson’s a ...02 October 2025
This is not good. Hubbard was also sidelined on Wednesday. Earlier this week, Panthers head coach Dave Canales said Hubbard’s calf injury was not a “factor” regarding his limited Week 4 workload. No. 2 RB Rico Dowdle totaled nine carries and one target while rookie RB Trevor Etienne logged seven carries. Hubbard’s calf injury certainly could be a factor this week, though. If Hubbard is somehow active against the Dolphins, Dowdle and Etienne should get their fair share of touches, reducin ...02 October 2025
The good news on the defensive side of the ball ends there. Ravens S Kyle Hamilton (groin) was downgraded to a non-participant after a limited session on Wednesday. Ravens CB Marlon Humphrey (calf) and LB Roquan Smith (hamstring) remained sidelined. The Ravens’ injury-depleted defense will have a difficult time containing the Texans this weekend.02 October 2025
Stanley was sidelined on Wednesday after trying unsuccessfully to play through the ankle injury in Week 4 against the Chiefs. Ravens C Tyler Linderbaum (calf) continued practicing after getting in a limited section yesterday. The Ravens need their offensive line starters on the field this week to protect pocket-passing backup QB Cooper Rush, with starting QB Lamar Jackson expectedly sidelined by a hamstring injury. They face the Texans’ potent pass rush this weekend.02 October 2025
Fant’s potential Week 5 return can hardly be heralded as a difference-making development, but Cincinnati could at least have its tight end platoon intact for its game against the Lions. In three games this season, Fant has caught 10-of-12 targets for 80 yards and one touchdown. He is not on the TE1 radar and does not need to be rostered if active.02 October 2025
Rosenhaus implicitly acknowledged that the two sides will have to rework Hill’s contract, saying he and Hill “would love to get together with [the front office] after the season and figure something out that works for both sides.” Rosenhaus also recently said that it is “realistic” for Hill to be on the field come Week 1, 2026. This is a bit surprising, as is Hill’s decision to quickly undergo one surgery to correct his dislocated knee and multiple ligament tears, rather than partiti ...02 October 2025
Samuel got banged up in week 4 and missed Wednesday’s practice, causing some concern for his availability ahead of Week 5. Even a limited session today puts him on track to suit up this week. Terry McLaurin is still highly questionable with a quad issue, meaning Samuel could operate as the Commanders’ top wideout once again. Samuel caught all six of his targets for 72 yards and a score in Week 4. He will slot in as a fantasy WR2 if McLaurin remains sidelined on Sunday.02 October 2025
Herbert signed with the Colts in the offseason but didn’t make their 53-man roster. He briefly joined the Seahawks’ practice squad before the Jets offered him a spot on their active roster. With Braelon Allen on injured reserve, Herbert will operate as the team’s RB3 going forward.02 October 2025
Mayfield has a long history of gutting it out through injuries and this week will be no different. He was listed as a DNP for Wednesday’s walkthrough but will at least go down as a limited participant for Thursday’s session. Barring a setback, Mayfield will be on the field for his Week 5 matchup with Seattle. With Bucky Irving likely out, expect plenty of passing volume for the gunslinger quarterback.02 October 2025
The news comes from FOX Sports’ Greg Auman. Irving could return to practice after the portion open to the media concludes, but we doubt that will happen. It will be his second DNP of the week, all but guaranteeing he misses Week 5. Irving is dealing with a foot sprain that is not believed to be a long-term issue plus a minor shoulder injury. He was spotted on crutches while wearing a walking boot after Week 4. Rachaad White should draw the start on Sunday, making him one of the top waiver wire ...02 October 2025
McCarthy hasn’t practiced since injuring his ankle in Week 2. He will be ruled out for Sunday’s game in London later this week, giving Carson Wentz his third straight start. Wentz fell behind early in Week 4 but put together a frantic comeback effort, racking up 350 yards and two scores in a losing effort. Facing a punishing Cleveland defense, he is stuck at the back of the QB2 ranks for Week 5.02 October 2025
A midweek addition to the injury report is never a good sign, but players typically play through illnesses. This is a situation to keep an eye on when the Vikings release their final injury report on Friday, but we fully expect Turner to be active on Sunday morning. The second-year EDGE has one sack and 11 pressures this year.02 October 2025
Shepard joined a long list of Bucs players not practicing on Wednesday with a foot issue. The veteran has been a small cog in the Bucs’ offense, though with Mike Evans’ hamstring injury keeping him sidelined, Shepard was in line for more snaps. A potential Shepard absence could mean even more opportunities for Emeka Egbuka and Chris Godwin come Sunday against the Seahawks.02 October 2025
Coen noted that Walker could even play in Week 5 when the Jags take on the Chiefs on Monday. Walker left Week 4’s game against the 49ers with the wrist issue and was ruled out after a short trip to the locker room. He saw a specialist later in the week and surgery was ultimately the best option. We would still anticipate Walker to miss at least one game, but the good news is that this isn’t a long-term issue. Walker has two sacks and 14 pressures this year.02 October 2025
Allen’s injury continues to sound worse with every subsequent report. Per ESPN’s Rich Cimini, surgery remains a possibility and it’s “too early to say if it’s season-ending.” Allen is required to miss at least four weeks while on injured reserve, but we expect him to be out much longer than a month. His absence will increase Breece Hall’s role in short-yardage situations, meaning more opportunities for him at the goal line. Allen has six red zone carries this year to Hall’s three ...
