Ravens signed QB Austin Reed to the practice squad.

02 November 2026

Reed spent time with the Ravens during training camp, and threw for 59 yards, one touchdown, and one interception in three brief appearances during the preseason. Reed will presumably be elevated to the 53-man roster ahead of Week 9’s game against the Jaguars, and could serve as Joe Fagnano’s backup for the foreseeable future.

NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reports the Seahawks plan to activate Jadarian Price from injured reserve and that he will play in Week 8 against the Bears.

02 November 2026


ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports Jeremy McNichols is undergoing additional testing to determine the severity of the foot injury he suffered in Week 8’s win over the Eagles.

02 November 2026

McNichols’ injury is believed to be “significant,” according to Schefter. The 30-year-old journeyman was recently activated from injured reserve after missing the first five weeks of the season with a quad injury and could now be looking at another extended absence. He has rushed 10 times for 34 scoreless yards this season and has been a reliable role player and special teams contributor for the Commanders since joining the team in 2024.

Cam Skattebo (hamstring) was seen working with trainers on Monday.

02 November 2026

The Giants won’t release their first injury report for the week until Wednesday, but in the team’s first practice after its bye week, Skattebo was seen working off to the side with trainers. Skattebo injured his hamstring late on a 42-yard run in overtime in Week 7’s win over the Texans, but said he expected to be okay after the bye. While that may still be the case, fantasy managers will want to check his practice status throughout the week to see if he’s at risk of missing Week 9’s ...

Lions head coach Dan Campbell said the team has received “positive” news on Jack Campbell after he suffered a neck injury in Week 8’s win over the Vikings.

02 November 2026

The team has opted to not disclose any further details of Campbell’s injury, but this is obviously good news for the fourth-year linebacker. Campbell suffered a scary neck injury in the fourth quarter of Sunday’s win and was eventually carted from the field after being down on the ground for several minutes. While the early reports are encouraging, it’s possible Campbell avoided the worst-case scenario but could still face a months-long journey back to the field. We will be sure to provid ...

NFL insider Jordan Schultz reports free agent WR Brandon Aiyuk “is close to hiring new representatives in an effort to get back to the NFL and on a team.”

02 November 2026

An entire offseason spent creating goofy Instagram videos in hopes of willing himself onto the Commanders’ roster didn’t go as Aiyuk had hoped. Instead, the 28-year-old receiver, who last played a snap in 2024, remains under contract with the 49ers after failing to apply for reinstatement, which remains the first step he would need to take if he hopes to be made available to other teams. The 49ers put a “left squad designation” on Aiyuk back in July, meaning while he remains under contr ...

Vikings head coach Kevin O’Connell said Kyler Murray is dealing with a sore hamstring and will undergo further evaluation.

02 November 2026

Murray appeared to be slowed a bit by an injury in Week 8’s loss to the Lions, so this news isn’t all too surprising. O’Connell said Murray will go “through a full eval” of everything to determine the severity of his injury, but didn’t suggest this will cost Murray any time as the Vikings prepare to face the Bills next Monday night. That said, we know how these types of injuries can linger and lead to some missed time, so we won’t jump to assume Murray is in the clear for Week 9. ...

NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport said Lamar Jackson is “likely out for the season” after suffering a thumb injury in Week 8’s loss to the Bills.

02 November 2026

Head coach Jesse Minter didn’t dismiss the possibility of this being a season-ending injury for Jackson when asked about it after the game, but the optics on the field weren’t good, and the team wasted little time announcing he would undergo surgery and be placed on injured reserve. It wouldn’t be at all surprising to learn in the days ahead that Jackson’s season is over, but the team will likely wait until after he has his surgery to make any formal announcement. With Jackson and Tyler ...

Packers head coach Matt LaFleur said he expects Micah Parsons (knee) to practice this week.

02 November 2026

Parsons is not expected to suit up in Week 9 against the Patriots, but this is the next step in his recovery as he looks to return to the field. On Sunday, it was reported that the Packers were targeting a Week 12 return for Parsons, which would mean he plays on Thanksgiving Eve against the Rams if all goes according to plan.

Packers head coach Matt LaFleur said he expects Josh Jacobs to remain on the roster while the league investigates multiple allegations of domestic violence against him.

02 November 2026

This doesn’t come as much of a surprise, given that NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reported on Sunday that Jacobs is “going to continue to play” while the league reviews this latest round of allegations. The league is not only reviewing these latest allegations, but is also looking into whether or not Jacobs was “upfront” with them about the initial allegations that led to him being placed on the Commissioner’s Exempt list. Barring an unexpected development this week, we would expect ...

Colts head coach Shane Steichen said Daniel Jones will start in Week 9 against the Cowboys.

02 November 2026


Michael Pittman Jr. (foot) said he hopes to return after the Steelers’ Week 9 bye week.

02 November 2026

Pittman has been on injured reserve since October 10th, and began running last week. While the veteran receiver said he hopes to return after the Steelers’ bye week, he also said that there’s “no time frame” for his return. Pittman’s foot injury was a reaggravation of a previous injury he had earlier in the season, so it wouldn’t be surprising if the Steelers exercised extreme caution to ensure it doesn’t flare up again when he returns. Pittman’s first season in Pittsburgh has b ...

Panthers head coach Dave Canales said the team is weighing whether or not to open Jonathon Brooks (core) return window this week

02 November 2026


Falcons head coach Kevin Stefanski said Zachariah Branch (hamstring) will not play in Week 9 against the Bengals.

02 November 2026

Branch suffered a hamstring injury in Week 8’s shutout loss to the Buccaneers and will miss next week’s game against the Bengals in Madrid. The rookie third-rounder has caught just 10 passes for 64 scoreless yards this season and has also served as the Falcons’ primary kick and punt returner.

Bengals head coach Zac Taylor said DJ Turner is day-to-day with a heel injury.

02 November 2026

Turner was initially believed to have suffered an ankle injury in the Bengals’ Week 8 win over the Titans, but it was later ruled to be a heel injury. According to Taylor, the fourth-year corner has a chance to suit up in Week 9 when the Bengals take on the Falcons in Madrid, so his status will be one to keep an eye on throughout the week. Turner has earned a PFF coverage grade of 72.9 this season, allowing opposing receivers to catch 16-of-26 targets for 132 yards and one touchdown.

Saints head coach Kellen Moore said the team is still deciding when it will open Jordyn Tyson’s (hamstring) 21-day return window.

02 November 2026


Saints head coach Kellen Moore said the team is still deciding when it will open Travis Etienne’s (hamstring) 21-day return window.

02 November 2026


NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reports Buccaneers LB YaYa Diaby is dealing with a Grade 2 MCL sprain.

02 November 2026

According to Rapoport, Diaby “should be back within a matter of weeks,” but it sounds like the fourth-year linebacker could avoid a stint on injured reserve. Diaby has totaled three sacks — all of which came in Week 7 against the Panthers- and also has 16 tackles and one interception this season. Diaby has started all eight games for the Bucs this year while playing on nearly 60 percent of the team’s defensive snaps.

Texans head coach DeMeco Ryans did not have an update on David Montgomery’s groin injury when speaking with the media on Monday

02 November 2026

Montgomery, who missed the Texans’ last two games with his injury, is coming off the team’s Week 8 bye, and there was some hope he might be able to get on the field for Week 9’s game against the Chargers. While that may still be the case, it’s possible we will need to wait until Wednesday, when the team releases its first injury report, to see how Montgomery is trending heading into the weekend. The 29-year-old running back has struggled mightily this season even when healthy, rushing f ...

Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel said “we’ll see” when asked if A.J. Brown (knee) could practice this week.

02 November 2026

This is basically a non-answer from Vrabel, who said the team will see how Brown progresses through the week and how he responds to treatment. Brown missed Week 8’s game against the Dolphins after he suffered what was described as a flare up” of a knee issue that has plagued him for some time. It’s far too early to assume Brown will be able to go in Week 9 against the Packers given the timing of his injury last week, so his status will be one to keep an eye on throughout the week.
