  • 49ers' Marquez Valdes-Scantling: Moved to IR

    Valdes-Scantling (calf) was placed on injured reserve Friday.

    Valdes-Scantling is the latest 49ers wide receiver to get bitten by the injury bug, and his absence will last at least four weeks after his placement on IR. The veteran wideout's first opportunity to return to game action will come Sunday, Nov. 16 at Arizona.

  • Cardinals' Marvin Harrison: Set to play Sunday

    Harrison (concussion) practiced in full Friday and doesn't have a designation for Sunday's game against the Packers, Tyler Drake of ArizonaSports.com reports.

    Harrison came out of a Week 6 loss in Indianapolis with a concussion that limited him at Wednesday's walkthrough and Thursday's practice, but his ability to handle every practice rep Friday followed by avoiding a Week 7 designation indicates he's been cleared by an independent neurologist. QB Kyler Murray (foot) is listed as questionable for Sunday's contest after being listed as limited all week, but Jacoby Brissett took all the visible reps with the first-team offense, suggesting the latter is more likely than the former to be tossing passes Harrison's way this weekend.

  • Zach Ertz TE | WAS

    Commanders' Zach Ertz: Questionable for Sunday

    Ertz (shoulder/calf) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game at Dallas, John Keim of ESPN.com reports.

    Ertz started the week as a non-participant due to rest, upgrading to full Thursday before dropping back to limited Friday. The focus largely has been on Washington's wide receivers this week, but Deebo Samuel (heel) might not be the only game-day decision among the pass catchers. With Terry McLaurin (quad) ruled out, there is a nice opportunity for Ertz and Samuel to pile up looks against a weak Cowboys defense if they avoid the inactive list ahead of Sunday's 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff.

  • Dyami Brown WR | JAC

    Jaguars' Dyami Brown: Cleared after limited practices

    Brown (shoulder) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Rams.

    Brown was limited in all three of Jacksonville's practices this week but will suit up Sunday morning in London. His performance has dropped off significantly after a strong start, perhaps due to lingering injuries. Brown has just 35 receiving yards across his last three appearances dating back to Week 3.

  • Chris Godwin WR | TB

    Buccaneers' Chris Godwin: Not practicing Friday

    Godwin (fibula) didn't practice Friday, Jenna Laine of ESPN.com reports.

    Buccaneers coach Todd Bowles said Monday that Godwin is unlikely to play this week. Continued absences from practice suggest Godwin may be ruled out as soon as Saturday, while the Bucs at least are leaving the door cracked open for fellow wideouts Mike Evans (hamstring) and Emeka Egbuka (hamstring).

  • Bucky Irving RB | TB

    Buccaneers' Bucky Irving: No return to practice

    Irving (foot/shoulder) didn't practice Friday, Jenna Laine of ESPN.com reports.

    The Buccaneers have been slow to rule out injured players all season, but coach Todd Bowles did acknowledge Monday that Irving is unlikely to play this week. Rachaad White is preparing for another start Monday at Detroit.

  • Emeka Egbuka WR | TB

    Buccaneers' Emeka Egbuka: Misses practice again

    Egbuka (hamstring) didn't practice Friday, Jenna Laine of ESPN.com reports.

    The Buccaneers haven't ruled Egbuka out for Monday's game at Detroit, but reports suggest he's unlikely to play -- an idea now backed up by consecutive missed practices. Chris Godwin (fibula) also hasn't practiced this week, while Mike Evans managed a limited session Thursday before sitting out Friday. Fantasy managers should prepare to be without Egbuka this week, even if the Bucs leave the door open as long as possible. A Monday game makes things tricky for fantasy managers, with so many moving parts in Tampa Bay's offense (again).

  • Stefon Diggs WR | NE

    Patriots' Stefon Diggs: Questionable after full practice

    Diggs (chest) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Titans after upgrading to full participation in Friday's practice, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site reports.

    Though the official questionable designation makes Diggs' status worth monitoring ahead of Sunday's 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff, the wideout's ability to practice fully Friday has him trending in the right direction for Week 7 action. If, however, Diggs ends up limited or out versus Tennessee, added opportunities at WR would be available for Kayshon Boutte, DeMario Douglas, Mack Hollins and Kyle Williams.

  • Tyrel Dodson LB | MIA

    Dolphins' Tyrel Dodson: Will play if he clears protocol

    Dodson (concussion) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Browns, Zac Jackson of The Athletic reports.

    Dodson has yet to clear the NFL's five-step concussion protocol by gaining clearance from an independent neurologist, but head coach Mike McDaniel said Friday that the Dolphins are "hopeful and confident" that Dodson will do so after logging three full practices, per Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com. If Dodson exits concussion protocol, the starting middle linebacker will suit up Sunday.

  • Mike Evans WR | TB

    Buccaneers' Mike Evans: No practice Friday

    Evans (hamstring) didn't practice Friday, Jenna Laine of ESPN.com reports.

    The report notes that Evans may just be getting the day off for maintenance before returning to practice Saturday. He was a limited participant Thursday, making his first practice appearance of any kind since straining his left hamstring in a Week 3 win over the Jets. There's risk of a game-day decision, which would be all the more difficult for fantasy managers with Evans and the Bucs playing on Monday this week (at Detroit).
