  • Packers' Dontayvion Wicks: On track to miss Week 8

    Packers head coach Matt LaFleur said that Wicks (calf) isn't in line to practice this week, Zach Kruse of USA Today reports.

    Though LaFleur didn't definitively rule Wicks out for Sunday's game in Pittsburgh, the third-year wideout is highly unlikely to play while he continues to manage a calf injury he sustained in last week's win over Arizona. Wicks' expected absence could be offset by the potential return of fellow wideout Christian Watson (knee), who is in the midst of his third week of practicing with the team and may be activated from the PUP list ahead of Sunday's contest.

  • Jude McAtamney: Back to Giants' practice squad

    New York re-signed McAtamney to the practice squad Thursday with an International Player Program exemption, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.

    McAtamney operated as the Giants' placekicker for four games from Week 4 to Week 7, but he lost his spot on the 53-man roster Tuesday due to Graham Gano (groin) having his practice window opened Week 8 and expected to return to action Sunday against the Eagles. New York also has Younghoe Koo on the practice squad, providing competition for McAtamney in the event that Gano isn't yet ready to retake the field.

  • Jordyn Brooks LB | MIA

    Dolphins' Jordyn Brooks: Agrees to contract restructure

    The Dolphins created $3 million of salary cap space for the 2025 season Thursday by converting a portion of Brooks' base salary into a signing bonus, Field Yates of ESPN reports.

    Brooks remains under contract with Miami through the 2026 campaign. The 28-year-old linebacker leads the NFL with 75 total tackles (46 solo), including three tackles for loss (1.5 sacks) across seven regular-season appearances. He also has one forced fumble on the season. Brooks will look to keep up his momentum Sunday on the road against Atlanta's run-heavy attack, led by Bijan Robinson and Tyler Allgeier (hip/knee).

  • Brandon Graham DE | PHI

    Eagles' Brandon Graham: Inks one-year deal with Eagles

    Philadelphia signed Graham to a one-year, $4.89 million contract Thursday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    The Eagles officially reinstated Graham from the reserve/retired list Tuesday, priming the 37-year-old pass rusher to return to the NFL and play out his 16th season with the team that selected him back in the first round of the 2010 NFL Draft. He's now officially re-signed with Philadelphia on a deal that includes a $1.678 million signing bonus. The Eagles have been granted a two-game roster exemption for Graham, meaning the veteran will need to be officially activated in order to be eligible for Sunday's game against the Giants, and he could be kept on the exempt list until after the team's Week 9 bye.

  • Cade Stover TE | HOU

    Texans' Cade Stover: Nearing return

    Stover (foot) is expected back within the next few weeks, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

    Wilson reports Stover is recovering well from a broken foot and surgery. He's already missed the four-game minimum and can be activated at any time, but it appears the tight end will be out until some point in November at the earliest. Stover's return will bolster the position, which has been impacted by injuries to several of its personnel going back to training camp.

  • Ryan Miller WR | TB

    Buccaneers' Ryan Miller: Solid gain on one catch

    Miller secured his only target for 14 yards in the Buccaneers' 24-9 loss to the Lions on Monday night.

    Miller logged nine snaps on offense, as Chris Godwin's (fibula) absence and Mike Evans' in-game injuries -- a broken collarbone and concussion -- opened some opportunities down the Buccaneers' receiver depth chart. While Evans and Godwin are both already ruled out for Sunday's Week 8 road matchup against the Saints, Miller looks likely to remain in a fairly insignificant reserve role.

  • Sean Tucker RB | TB

    Buccaneers' Sean Tucker: Plays minor role Monday

    Tucker rushed once for four yards and secured his only target for two yards in the Buccaneers' 24-9 loss to the Lions on Monday night.

    Bucky Irving (shoulder/foot) sat out a third consecutive game, but Tucker logged only seven snaps on offense, his lowest tally in the last three games. Tucker had posted a season-best 6-25-1 rushing line in Week 6, and game script could have certainly played a part in his downturn versus Detroit. Irving is already ruled out for the Week 8 road matchup against the Saints, so Tucker will have another chance to make his presence known as a complementary option behind Rachaad White.

  • Buccaneers' Kameron Johnson: Production stems from special teams

    Johnson failed to bring in his only target over 15 snaps but returned four kickoffs for 95 yards and ran back three punts for 34 yards in the Buccaneers' 24-9 loss to the Lions on Monday night.

    One week after Johnson posted a career-best 4-64-1 receiving line, the second-year wideout was back to being a nonfactor on offense. Johnson did continue to offer solid production on returns, which included a season high on kickoff-return yardage. However, with Mike Evans (IR, collarbone/concussion) and Chris Godwin (fibula) guaranteed to be unavailable in Week 8 against the Saints, Johnson will at least have a chance to continue filling a reserve role on offense.

  • Arthur Maulet CB | DET

    Lions' Arthur Maulet: Nabs first interception of season

    Maulet tallied five tackles (all solo) and an interception in a 24-9 Week 7 win over the Buccaneers.

    Maulet logged a 50 percent defensive snap share in his second game as a practice-squad elevation for the Lions. The veteran cornerback made a big play late in the second quarter when he intercepted a Baker Mayfield pass that was originally ruled a Cade Otton reception before being overturned upon review. Maulet's performance likely was a contributing factor to Detroit signing him to the active roster Monday.

  • Lions' Aidan Hutchinson: Recovers fumble in Week 7 win

    Hutchinson posted two tackles (one solo), a defensed pass and a fumble recovery against Tampa Bay in Sunday's 24-9 victory.

    Though Hutchinson didn't record a sack for the first time in six games, he made an impact with his first defensed pass and first fumble recovery of the campaign. Through seven contests, the star defender has 16 tackles, including 6.0 sacks.
