Colts waived WR Dezmon Patmon.
04 October 2022
They needed the roster spot for K Chase McLaughlin after running out of practice squad elevations. Patmon has played only 90 offensive snaps in three years for the Colts and hasn't played on special teams at all. He'll likely be a project elsewhere if claimed.Vikings signed NT Khyiris Tonga.
04 October 2022
The 2021 seventh-rounder was on Atlanta's practice squad. Minnesota had an extra 53-man spot after placing Lewis Cine on injured reserve. Ross Blacklock and James Lynch have barely played in the Vikings interior rotation and Tonga might be here to push them for a job.Colts DL Tyquan Lewis (concussion) won't play in Week 5 against the Broncos.
04 October 2022
Lewis sustained the concussion in Week 4's game against the Titans. Lewis has been a weak link in run defense this year, racking up a 32.4 PFF run stop grade while averaging 35 snaps a game. The Colts will need more from their front seven depth on a short week.Washington RT Sam Cosmi (thumb) underwent surgery and is out indefinitely.
04 October 2022
Cosmi injured the thumb in Week 4's game against the Cowboys. Swing OT Cornelius Lucas will likely play right tackle in Week 5 against the Titans. Cosmi's timeframe to return is not yet known but this is likely a multi-week injury given the surgery and he has a chance of being place on injured reserve.
Packers signed LB Eric Wilson.
04 October 2022
Wilson was on the Saints practice squad. The 28-year-old spent seven games with both Houston and Philadelphia last season and has extensive special teams experience.Cardinals signed OL Billy Price.
04 October 2022
He was on the Las Vegas practice squad. Arizona actually had Price in for a visit in May, so we suppose it makes sense that he was on their priority list. Price has been mediocre-at-best at both guard and center throughout his early NFL career, but the former first-round pick will continue to get chances.Ravens designated Gus Edwards (knee) to return from the reserve/PUP list.
04 October 2022
John Harbaugh said the back will return to practice this week and "we'll see how it looks." Edwards missed the first four weeks of the season returning from a torn ACL suffered right before the season started last year, and will have three weeks to show he's healthy enough to be activated. Unless we hear something more encouraging about how he looks, it's hard to believe that Edwards will be ready to play right away. Even when he does get activated, he could be slow-played as J.K. Dobbins was ea ...Broncos RB Melvin Gordon (neck) was limited in practice Tuesday.
04 October 2022
It's another "walkthrough" practice, so don't take this as damning for Gordon's chances of playing. Broncos coach Nathaniel Hackett said of Gordon Tuesday: "He is running hard. He is doing a great job. He came today with a vengeance. We had a great mental day with him, and so we’re ready to go with him." It sure sounds like there's not too much to read into this and that Gordon will handle the majority of Denver's workload on Thursday night.Cardinals waived WR Andy Isabella.
04 October 2022
Isabella managed just five targets despite Arizona's lack of depth at the wideout position this year, and hadn't started a game since 2020. The second-rounder will hit waivers at 25 years old, and has returned kicks. The physical traits and special teams ability could make him a claim target.Commanders coach Ron Rivera said RB Brian Robinson (leg/NFI) has "a very good chance" to play in Week 5.
04 October 2022
“I’m optimistic about it just in listening to everything I’ve heard. It’s very promising," Rivera told reporters. This is assuming that Robinson comes back in practice and doesn't have any setbacks, but it sounds like he has a chance to be activated in the first week of this three-week window to practice and return. Robinson does not have to be listed on the injury report, so monitoring reports on his actual practice performance and participation will be on the line this week. He'd be ha ...Cowboys LS Jake McQuaide (triceps) is likely out for the season.
04 October 2022
The snapper of a few snaps that happened to traverse further backwards than regular snaps this season, McQuaide will likely hit IR in the near future. The Cowboys are working out replacements today. Dallas could elevate a new snapper of the long ball variety off the practice squad for a few weeks before eventually signing one to the roster.Giants placed Aaron Robinson (knee) on injured reserve.
04 October 2022
He'll miss at least the next four weeks. Robinson bent his knee awkwardly in Week 4's win over the Bears. He'd produced a 73.2 PFF coverage grade through his first two games of the season. The Giants are besieged with secondary injuries and will likely have to turn to the deep bench to replace Robinson in Week 5, likely using Fabian Moreau extensively.49ers coach Kyle Shanahan said OT Colton McKivitz (knee) has a sprained MCL.
04 October 2022
McKivitz left Week 4's Monday Night win over the Rams with the injury and could miss 6-8 weeks; he's likely an IR candidate. McKivitz was already the replacement for Trent Williams (ankle), leaving the 49ers left tackle duties to 2021 fifth-rounder Jaylon Moore. With a limited offensive line and Jimmy Garoppolo in the pocket, expect more screens from the 49ers offense.49ers coach Kyle Shanahan said WR Jauan Jennings (ankle) is day-to-day.
04 October 2022
Jennings played 18 snaps before departing in Week 4, but it doesn't sound like this is a major injury. As the fourth receiver on a team that runs a lot, Jennings maintains little fantasy value anyway. But the absence of his blocking could hurt the 49ers run game. Ray-Ray McCloud played most of the third-receiver snaps last night.49ers designated S Jimmie Ward (hamstring) to return from injured reserve.
04 October 2022
Kyle Shanahan said that both Ward and Logan Verrett (knee) would practice Wednesday and start their three-week timetable to work back from injured reserve. The 49ers have done pretty well on defense without both players as Talanoa Hufanga has taken a major jump in his second season. Ward's return should only bolster the secondary further.Ravens coach Jim Harbaugh said RB Justice Hill (hamstring) might be out "for a little bit."
04 October 2022
"I think we dodged a bullet on that. It's not a serious hamstring," Harbaugh said. "It's not going to be one of those long-term hamstrings, they say." Hill should be considered questionable for this week, which would leave J.K. Dobbins with Kenyan Drake and Mike Davis behind him against the Bengals on Sunday Night Football.Russell Wilson (shoulder) was limited in Tuesday's practice.
04 October 2022
It's hard to call the TNF build-up practices important because they're often glorified walkthroughs, but Wilson now has back-to-back limited tags on the injury report. Nathaniel Hackett said that he anticipates Wilson playing on Thursday against the Colts, where he'll likely operate as a QB2 for fantasy purposes. Wilson is coming off a three-touchdown outing against the Raiders.Jonathan Taylor (ankle) is not practicing Tuesday.
04 October 2022
He's wearing a light boot. The Colts are only running a light walkthrough so this likely doesn't have a huge impact on his ability to play Thursday. The practice status likely matters less than Frank Reich's statement of "we'll see if he's ready to go on Thursday night" earlier today. Even if Taylor does play, him playing hurt in an offense that has had almost no rushing success this year against a good Broncos defense is not necessarily the recipe for a fantasy must-start.Steelers designated Calvin Austin (foot) to return from injured reserve.
04 October 2022
Or at least coach Mike Tomlin said they will this week. Once Austin returns to practice, the Steelers will have 21 days to activate him. Otherwise, he will revert to season-ending injured reserve. With an established trio ahead of him, Austin will likely be limited to special teams if he gets back on the active roster.Free agent QB A.J. McCarron worked out for the Giants on Tuesday.
04 October 2022
The Giants are looking at emergency options with both Daniel Jones (ankle) and Tyrod Taylor (concussion) questionable for Week 5. McCarron has a history with coach Brian Daboll, who was the OC in Buffalo in 2018. New York is also working out Jake Fromm.
