Jack Sanborn LB | DAL
Cowboys' Jack Sanborn: Won't play due to groin injury
Sanborn was added to the Cowboys' injury report due to a groin injury, and he has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Broncos.
It's unclear when Sanborn sustained the injury, as he was not listed on the Cowboys' injury report during Week 8 prep. However, the injury is severe enough for the fourth-year linebacker to not suit up against Denver. With Sanborn set to be inactive and DeMarvion Overshown (knee) still on the reserve/PUP list, Damone Clark will serve as the Cowboys' lone reserve linebacker on the active roster behind Marist Liufau, Shemar James and Kenneth Murray.

Giants' Cam Skattebo: Carted off with foot injury
Skattebo was carted off the field during Sunday's game at Philadelphia due to a right foot injury, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports. He gained 12 yards on three carries and recorded an 18-yard touchdown reception prior to his departure.
Per Ryan Dunleavy of the New York Post, Skattebo's right foot was bent the wrong way at the end of a Jaxson Dart incompletion to the running back in the middle of the second quarter. Tyrone Tracy will take over as the Giants' lead back for the rest of the contest.

Bengals' Shaka Heyward: Exits with leg injury
Heyward (lower leg) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's game against the Jets.
Heyward exited the game with a left fibula injury. The 25-year-old linebacker is primarily a special teams player, logging 127 special teams snaps so far this season. His absence will create a void in the unit.

D'Wayne Eskridge WR | MIA
Dolphins' Dee Eskridge: Carted to locker room
Eskridge sustained a shoulder injury during Sunday's game against the Falcons and is questionable to return, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
The injury was severe enough for Eskridge to be carted to the locker room, which has him on the doubtful side of returning to Sunday's game. His absence means Ollie Gordon could join Malik Washington on kick returns, and Cedrick Wilson will step into a more prominent role in the offense.

Giants' Art Green: Exits game with hamstring injury
Green (hamstring) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Eagles, Pat Leonard of the New York Daily News reports.

Ashtyn Davis SAF | MIA
Dolphins' Ashtyn Davis: Exits early
Davis (quad) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Falcons.
Davis exited the game after suffering a quadriceps injury on the first defensive series. As the backup strong safety, Davis plays in select packages behind Ifeatu Melifonwu and the free safety Minkah Fitzpatrick. Davis is the only active depth safety, so the Dolphins may have to turn to the rest of their defensive back room if he does not return.

Dominique Robinson DE | CHI
Bears' Dominique Robinson: Exits with ankle injury
Robinson (ankle) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Ravens.
Robinson appeared to sustain the injury during the opening kickoff, per Sean Hammond of the Chicago Tribune. Daniel Hardy should see more rotational snaps at defensive end for as long as Robinson is being evaluated by medical staff on the sidelines.

Bills' Terrel Bernard: Not starting
Bernard (ankle) is active for Sunday's matchup with the Panthers but will not start, Cameron Wolfe of NFL Network reports.
Bernard is active but ideally won't play in hopes of being 100 percent for Week 9 versus the Chiefs. The Bills are reportedly using him as an emergency linebacker with the plan to start Shaq Thompson and Dorian Williams.

Anthony Richardson QB | IND
Colts' Anthony Richardson: Recovering from orbital surgery
Richardson underwent surgery Monday to repair his orbital fracture and could return from injured reserve later this season, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
The Colts haven't issued a timeline for Richardson's return from surgery, which he required after fracturing his orbital when he was hit in the eye by a piece of workout equipment prior to Indianapolis' Oct. 12 win over the Cardinals. Since Richardson was deactivated, rookie Riley Leonard has stepped in as the Colts' No. 2 quarterback behind starter Daniel Jones.
