Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni said he’s “hopeful” he will receive offensive reinforcements in Week 6 when asked about Saquon Barkley’s (hamstring) status.

12 October 2026

Sirianni was asked about both Barkley and DeVonta Smith, who is also dealing with a hamstring injury. Sirianni didn’t commit to either player practicing this week, but we’ll see how things look on Wednesday when the Eagles release their first injury report. Philly suddenly finds itself in desperate need of help at running back after Tank Bigsby (core) was placed on IR last week and Will Shipley (foot) was diagnosed with a partial tear in his plantar fascia that’s expected to sideline him ...

Giants coach John Harbaugh said Jermaine Eluemunor (calf) is “day to day.”

12 October 2026

It wouldn’t be surprising if he missed some practice time this week. Marcus Mbow would get snaps in Week 6 if Eluemunor were not able to go.

Texans released WR Jared Wayne.

12 October 2026

He had four catches on 12 targets and it felt worse than that. Wayne will likely resurface on the Texans practice squad upon clearing waivers.

Saints coach Kellen Moore, asked directly if Tyler Shough’s non-throwing hand is broken, said “it got banged two weeks ago and he’s just wearing some protective layers there.”

12 October 2026

So, probably, then. The hand hasn’t really been a contributing factor to New Orleans’ decline so much as the Saints offensive line has just been in the blender for two weeks against Atlanta and Minnesota’s fronts, but it sure looks like Shough is managing through something and we should probably break ties against him in the rankings.

Ravens head coach Jesse Minter said Lamar Jackson (ankle) is “definitely doing better” after missing Week 5’s game against the Falcons.

12 October 2026

While this is good news for Jackson, Minter also said he wasn’t sure if Jackson would be back on the practice field on Wednesday. It was reported earlier on Monday that there was “some hope” that Jackson would play in Week 6 after he was “closer than people realized” to playing in Week 5 against the Falcons. This is shaping up to be another week where we are forced to monitor Jackson’s practice status up until Friday, when the team releases its final injury report. The Ravens are 4- ...

Steelers coach Mike McCarthy said Ben Skowronek (leg) has been ruled out for Week 6.

12 October 2026

We weren’t exactly worried about Skowronek siphoning many targets away, but with him out of the pecking order entirely Germie Bernard should be a wheels-up WR3 for Week 6 now that both Skowronek and Roman Wilson have been ruled out.

49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan said Deebo Samuel will miss “at least a couple of weeks” with the hamstring injury he suffered in Week 5’s win over the Seahawks.

12 October 2026


Dolphins coach Jeff Hafley said Malik “is our quarterback.”

12 October 2026

“Malik needs to be better, but that’s not the headline -- we all need to be better ... everything in the pass game has to be better.. It’s the receivers, it’s the tight ends, it’s the protection,” Hafley continued. Willis is by all statistical measures one of the weakest quarterbacks in the league with his arm, but at least he’s skimping some superflex QB2 value with his legs. There’s not much reason for the Dolphins to bench him either way, as they have nobody they pressingly n ...

The Athletic’s Jonathan Jones reports there’s “optimism” that Michael Penix (ribs) will be able to play in Week 6 against the Bears.

12 October 2026

Penix said after Sunday’s loss that he didn’t believe his injury would be long-term. He was replaced by Tua Tagovailoa in overtime because of his injury, but he also added that he likely would have gone back on the field had the Falcons received the ball to start the extra quarter. Instead, Penix said his pain worsened the longer he sat, which was why he ultimately didn’t go back in. Penix’s status will be one to monitor throughout the week. If he can’t start in Week 6, Tagovailoa wou ...

Steelers coach Mike McCarthy said “there’s a number you’d like to continue to give [Jaylen Warren],” even after Rico Dowdle (toe) returns.

12 October 2026

“He’s produced, so it’s been heavy. It’d be great to get Rico back this week, too. ... Having him as a one-two punch was the vision of this offense, but Jaylen’s crushing it right now. He’s been awesome for us,” McCarthy continued. That’s a very telling “but.” Warren has to be regarded as the chair of a committee at this point rather than in a backfield split, and Dowdle probably doesn’t belong in the FLEX conversation coming off his injury until we see a good workload for ...

Browns head coach Todd Monken said Quinshon Judkins is considered day-to-day with an ankle injury.

12 October 2026


49ers LB Dre Greenlaw has been suspended for one game after being ejected from Week 5’s game against the Seahawks.

12 October 2026

This was the exact outcome we expected after Greenlaw was ejected from Sunday’s game for headbutting Seahawks LB Ernest Jones on the sideline during a scuffle. Greenlaw, who was wearing a helmet, hit a helmet-less Jones and was immediately ejected and will now be suspended for one game without pay. As things stand right now, Greenlaw will miss Week 6’s game against the Commanders and be in line to return in Week 7 when the Niners visit the Falcons.

Panthers designated OT Taylor Moton (blood clots) for return.

12 October 2026

Moton was placed on the reserve/non-football injury list entering camp after it was revealed that he was dealing with blood clots in his lungs. The 32-year-old tackle now has 21 days to be activated from IR or be ruled out for the season, but we would expect him to be activated in the coming weeks. Moton earned a PFF offensive grade of 80.5 last season and allowed just three sacks and 22 pressures. In addition to Moton, the Panthers also designated DL Tershawn Wharton (neck) for return.

Fernando Mendoza completed 6-of-8 passes for 48 yards in relief of Kirk Cousins in Las Vegas’ Week 5 loss to the Patriots.

12 October 2026

This doesn’t necessarily mean that Mendoza is going to take the reins this week; we expect Cousins to continue starting even if Raiders coach Klint Kubiak didn’t affirmatively get ahead of the situation in Sunday’s post-game. But Mendoza looked reasonable and this will obviously be something that will bubble up eventually. No. 1 overall picks don’t typically stay on benches too long.

Tom Kennedy (knee) suffered a significant MCL injury that is expected to require season-ending surgery.

12 October 2026


Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel said “there’s a chance” A.J. Brown (ankle) will practice this week.

12 October 2026


Texans head coach DeMeco Ryans said David Montgomery will be week-to-week with the groin injury he suffered in Week 5 against the Titans.

12 October 2026


Packers DT Javon Hargrave suffered a torn Achilles in Week 5’s win over the Bears, ending his season.

12 October 2026


NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reports Browns LB Carson Schwesinger is dealing with a Grade 1 ankle sprain.

12 October 2026

Schwesinger has not been ruled out for Week 6’s game against the Ravens, and attempted to play through the injury at one point. With a big AFC North matchup on tap for this week, it wouldn’t be surprising if the Browns gave Schwesinger every opportunity to play. His practice status will be one to keep an eye on throughout the week. The 2025 Defensive Rookie of the Year has totaled 43 tackles, one sack, and one forced fumble this season.

NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport said “all signs point” to Caleb Williams (hamstring) returning in Week 6 against the Falcons.

12 October 2026

Head coach Ben Johnson said on Sunday that Williams would be “close” to suiting up for Week 6, and he reportedly had a good workout before Week 5’s game against the Packers. Williams has missed the last three games with the hamstring injury he suffered in Week 2, but the Bears have managed to go 2-1 over that span. Williams logged one limited practice last week, after being a DNP on Wednesday and Thursday. If he can get on the practice field multiple days this week, it would be a good sig ...
