Speaking Tuesday, Colts coach Frank Reich said T.Y. Hilton (quad) was "doing fine," but he declined to guarantee he will be ready for Sunday's game against the 49ers.
19 October 2021
“With these soft tissue things, we’re going to need to let it settle for 48 hours to really start to begin to make a determination,” Reich said. “I’m not sure we’re going to be able to make a determination even by Wednesday or Thursday, so we’ll just kind of keep it day by day with T.Y. – be hopeful. We know he heals faster than most people. He’s unique in that way, but we’ll be smart as well.” Any time a coach offers something other than injury sunshine, it's worth noting. ...Texans signed C Jimmy Morrissey.
19 October 2021
Morrissey, a 305-pound Pitt product, was the Raiders' seventh-round pick in the 2021 NFL Draft. He's likely a project based on his frame and athleticism for the time being. He'll add depth to a Texans squad that desperately needs help at all positions.Raiders signed DB Desmond Trufant.
19 October 2021
Trufant was cut by the Saints one week ago and quickly found a new home in Las Vegas. The veteran corner played 57 snaps for the Saints across two games, notching two tackles. Trufant will look to add depth to a shoddy Raiders secondary.Titans signed CB Greg Mabin.
19 October 2021
Tennessee placed rookie CB Caleb Farley on IR on Tuesday, so they were in dire need of help for a secondary unit that has already been torched through the air this season. Mabin figures to add depth to the back half of the Titans' defense. He made four starts and five appearances for the Jaguars in 2020.
ESPN's Adam Schefter reports that Cowboys S Damontae Kazee was arrested Tuesday on DWI charges.
19 October 2021
Kazee was arrested early Tuesday morning due to suspicions that he was driving intoxicated around the suburbs of Dallas. He posted a $2,500 bond and was released around midday, per Schefter. The Cowboys are on bye this week, and coach Mike McCarthy gave them a talk Monday about making smart decisions. Kazee has started all six games this year for Dallas.Broncos released WR David Moore.
19 October 2021
With Jerry Jeudy set to return soon and John Brown now in town as well, there was no path to targets for the veteran Moore, who was already buried on the depth chart. In a corresponding move, Denver added LB Curtis Robinson and LB Barrington Wade to their active roster, while placing LB Alexander Johnson (pectoral) on IR.Saints LB Kwon Alexander was designated to return from injured reserve.
19 October 2021
Alexander played 60% of the defensive snaps in Week 1 against the Packers but has been on New Orleans' injured reserve since. It's possible he's activated ahead of Monday night against the Seahawks.Broncos released WR David Moore.
19 October 2021
It's an unsurprising move after the Broncos healthy-scratched Moore for John Brown in Week 6. Even Brown will get lost in the shuffle once Jerry Jeudy (ankle) presumably has his 21-day window activated in the next two weeks. It's possible Moore is re-signed to Denver's practice squad in the coming days.Noah Fant (foot) remained limited for Tuesday's practice.
19 October 2021
The Broncos are presumably taking it easy on Fant given their short turnaround for Thursday. Without Albert Okwuegbunam the past two weeks, Fant's snap rate has quietly increased to 93%, running a route on a season-high 93% of Teddy Bridgewater's dropbacks. He's a confident TE1 against Cleveland if active.Giants placed WR C.J. Board on injured reserve.
19 October 2021
He'll miss the rest of the season with a broken arm. Board totaled four catches for 51 yards after he was forced into the lineup amid New York's injuries, also averaging 24.8 yards on 11 kick-off returns. The Giants signed Dante Pettis to the active roster in a corresponding move.Patriots placed LB Chase Winovich on injured reserve with a hamstring injury.
19 October 2021
Winovich suffered a hamstring injury during the Patriots' Week 6 loss to the Cowboys. He will miss at least the next three games while recovering from that ailment. In a corresponding move, New England signed DB Myles Bryant to the active roster. Bryant appeared in Week 4 and Week 5 for the Patriots and is now an active member of the 53-player roster.Panthers placed WR Brandon Zylstra on injured reserve.
19 October 2021
It's a significant absence since Zylstra usurped Terrace Marshall from the slot in Week 6, running a route on a season-high 69% of Sam Darnold's dropbacks between D.J. Moore and Robby Anderson. Zylstra actually ran 16 more routes than Marshall (29-13) in all as the latter, again thrust into three-wide sets, has meandered for eight total targets and 4/25 receiving in three games without Christian McCaffrey and Dan Arnold this year. He'll continue to play that role for Carolina ...Odell Beckham (shoulder) remained sidelined for Tuesday's practice.
19 October 2021
It's the second straight 'DNP' for Beckham, who suffered a shoulder injury on Sunday against the Cardinals. Donovan Peoples-Jones, who ran a route on a team-high 77.5% of Baker Mayfield's dropbacks on Sunday, would be glued to the field as an every-down player if Beckham can't go on Thursday against Denver. His participation in Wednesday's practice is crucial.Colts placed WR Parris Campbell (foot) on injured reserve.
19 October 2021
Campbell suffered the injury, a potential season-ender, after he scored a 51-yard touchdown against Houston. It's been the tragic story of the 24-year-old's career as he has just 14 appearances under his belt since being drafted in 2019. Zach Pascal will step in as the team's No. 3 receiver with Campbell out indefinitely.Baker Mayfield (shoulder) was limited for Tuesday's practice.
19 October 2021
Giants placed LT Andrew Thomas (ankle) on injured reserve.
19 October 2021
Thomas, already playing through an injured right foot, also sprained his left ankle in Sunday's loss to the Rams. He'll presumably be replaced by Nate Solder as Matt Peart continues his duties at right tackle. New York's o-line remains in shambles ahead of Week 7 against the Panthers.SNY's Ralph Vacchiano reports Giants WR Kadarius Toney (ankle) is expected to miss "at least one game."
19 October 2021
Toney reportedly aggravated the ankle injury he already had when he was rushed back into the team's lineup against the Rams, lasting only six snaps. Dante Pettis came off the bench for a 21.5% target share on the second-most routes run among their receivers, being used from the boundary in place of Kenny Golladay (knee) and Darius Slayton (hamstring). Pettis is a viable 14-team addition, as if it's 2018 all over again, pending who's available for the Giants against Carolina. ...Saints signed OG Forrest Lamp to the practice squad.
19 October 2021
New Orleans inked him to a deal following his workout for the team on Monday afternoon. Lamp, 27, was most recently released from Buffalo with an injury settlement after being placed on injured reserve in camp. He appeared in all 16 games as the Chargers' starting left guard in 2020 for the first time in his career.Vikings activated RB Kene Nwangwu from injured reserve.
19 October 2021
Vikings had been promoting Ameer Abdullah from the practice squad every week as insurance on special teams but finally cut ties with the 28-year-old altogether to make room for Nwangwu. The rookie had very little production at Iowa State but does offer enticing 4.31 40-speed as a receiving threat from the backfield. He could become fantasy relevant if Alexander Mattison gets banged up.
