Gainwell saw 25 carries in a run-heavy game against the Falcons in Week 8. Bowles said, “I think we finally got to where we’re utilizing Kenny more and more, and that’s kind of the 1A, 1B we were talking about when we first signed him.” Gainwell saw 50-percent of the snaps for the first time all season last week and now has back-to-back weeks of at least 14 carries. He is still seeing low utilization in the passing game and game script has certainly played a role in his recent role, but ...05 November 2026
Blankenship has been dealing with a concussion since Week 6 and still has it listed as an injury designation nearly three weeks later. He is also listed with a hand injury. Blankenship will need to progress through concussion protocol to have a chance at playing in Week 9; he is on the wrong side of questionable for now.05 November 2026
Campbell missed the Eagles’ Week 8 game against the Commanders after not practicing all of last week due to hamstring and quad injuries. He starts out this week DNP, along with DBs Michael Carter (abdomen) and Jonathan Jones (hamstring) on the defensive side of the ball. All three will need some kind of practice later in the week to have a chance at reinforcing the Eagles defense in Week 9 against the Giants.04 November 2026
Elliot was listed as a limited participant for the Eagles’ Wednesday practice. The 31-year-old has made 6-of-7 field goals this season and all 17 extra points. He is still trending to play in Week 9, but if the Eagles add another kicker sometime this week, that would indicate Elliot’s ankle injury is a real issue.

Rams head coach Sean McVay announced Parkinson would be a DNP on Wednesday. The 27-year-old has been dealing with a rib injury since Week 7, missing the Rams’ Week 8 game against the Chargers. Starting out DNP puts him on the wrong side of questionable for Week 9 against the Commanders.04 November 2026
McDuffie played through a groin injury in Week 8 and seemingly picked up a new back injury during the game. Rams head coach Sean McVay said McDuffie will be a DNP Wednesday, indicating the 26-year-old’s back issue is more than a minor flare-up. It’s possible he is getting the day off to rest the groin and back injuries, but Rams fans should keep an eye on his practice status the rest of the week. It’s safe to say McDuffie is truly questionable for Week 9 against the Commanders.04 November 2026
The Rams’ resources are thin. They already traded away their 2027 first- and second-round picks, their 2028 second-round pick and their 2029 third-round pick. They also have just $8,000 in 2026 salary cap space, so restructuring the potential new add’s deal would be required. Atkins believes the Rams should consider Josh Downs as the top option due to his ability to beat man coverage and contribute as a returner. Other options, according to Atkins, include Calvin Ridley, Keenan Allen and Ja ...04 November 2026
Bryant’s 21-day practice window has been opened, and it begins with a full session, putting him on track to play in Week 9 against the Panthers. The Broncos’ passing game has severely underperformed expectations. Bryant does not necessarily need to be added in 12-team formats, though he could ultimately compete for No. 2 wide receiver duties.04 November 2026
Waddle played through a questionable tag with this injury last week, catching 3-of-6 targets for 39 yards and one touchdown against the Chiefs. He apparently made it through the contest without re-injuring himself and can be started as a WR3 this week against the Panthers.04 November 2026
The Dolphins’ starting left guard should make his return this week after sitting out in Week 8 against the Patriots. Proctor’s presence will help stabilize the pocket for Malik Willis.04 November 2026
Dolphins RB3 Kaytron Allen (quad) was limited. At some point, Allen might get a chance to overtake Wright for the No. 2 role, though Wright remains a capable special teams contributor.04 November 2026
Tight end Carter Runyon was activated from injured reserve in a corresponding move. White has eight catches for 112 yards and three scores this year. He also contributes on special teams. The Raiders could ultimately sign him to their practice squad and promote him to the game-day roster this week.04 November 2026
Panthers head coach Dave Canales said after Week 8’s loss to the Packers that Young’s knee injury could be limiting his mobility. The team didn’t list the knee issue on this week’'s injury report, instead adding an ankle injury to the mix. It’s not something that will prevent Young from playing on Sunday, but another lingering ailment could further hamper his mobility. Already in the midst of a two-game slump, Young is back in the middle of the QB2 ranks for Week 9.04 November 2026
Willis did the same during Week 8 practices and ended up running just once against the Patriots. Hopefully, the groin injury continues to improve and his rushing usage returns. Willis remains a QB2 this week against the Lions.04 November 2026
Watson famously left for the hospital in the middle of Week 8’s win over the Panthers, only to return after halftime like a WWE performer. The fact that they’re letting him practice in any capacity today means he should be able to play through the issue in Week 9. We’d expect him to wear a flak jacket for at least a few weeks. Barring a setback in practice, Watson will be a high-variance WR1 for his matchup with the Patriots.04 November 2026
On the plus side, Pickens is no longer listed with a shoulder injury. Hopefully, Pickens upgrades to full participation tomorrow, and puts this hamstring strain behind him. Team owner Jerry Jones told reporters earlier this week that Pickens needs to get the ball more. The squeaky wheel often gets greased. The Cowboys’ Week 9 game against the Colts looks like a solid bounce-back spot.04 November 2026
It’s likely a maintenance day for Taylor, who tallied three catches on five targets in Week 8. He has been running ahead of rookie Kenyon Sadiq in recent weeks, though his own fantasy has been hit or miss. Taylor has been held under 40 yards in three of his past four appearances. He erupted for 62 yards and two scores in the fourth. Barring a setback in practice, Taylor will be a low-end TE2 for Week 9.04 November 2026
Donaldson aggravated a shoulder injury in Week 7 against the Steelers and did not return. He also entered the league’s conccussion protocl after the game. A limited session today means he’s making progress on both fronts. He should be good to go for Week 9. The same is true of Alvin Kamara, who got a rest day today, despite his back injury also being noted on the report. Both backs will mix in behind Kender Miller on Sunday.04 November 2026
The Cowboys’ No. 1 tight end suffered an ankle injury in Week 8 against the Cardinals. Ferguson is not in the TE1 ranks even when he is healthy, but his absence could help others earn a couple of extra targets.04 November 2026
The Cowboys’ rookie safety and slot defensive back is very banged up. He is firmly on the wrong side of questionable for Week 9 against the Colts at this time.
