  • Broncos' Jaleel McLaughlin: Inactive for Week 8

    McLaughlin (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Cowboys.

    McLaughlin has been a healthy scratch for seven of the Broncos' first eight games of the regular season, with his lone appearances taking place Week 6 against the Jets. J.K. Dobbins, RJ Harvey and Tyler Badie will be the three running backs on the Broncos' active roster for Week 8.

  • Buccaneers' Sterling Shepard: Filling No. 2 receiver role Sunday

    Shepard is projected to operate as the No. 2 receiver in Sunday's Week 8 matchup against the Saints due to the absences of Mike Evans (IR, collarbone/concussion) and Chris Godwin (fibula), Scott Smith of the team's official site reports.

    The veteran wideout started the Week 7 loss to the Lions working as the No. 3 receiver, but he bumped up a notch on the depth chart during the game when Evans exited with his pair of injuries. Shepard wound up with a season-high seven receptions on his seven targets against Detroit, albeit while netting only 25 receiving yards. Sunday, Shepard is due to begin the game as the No. 2 wideout, and he could certainly benefit from the defensive attention likely to be showered on rookie position mate Emeka Egbuka.

  • Tyler Guyton OT | DAL

    Cowboys' Tyler Guyton: Good to go

    Guyton is active for Sunday's game against the Broncos.

    Guyton popped up on Thursday's injury report with a lower-body injury and was limited for Thursday and Friday's practices, but will be good to go for Week 8. The starting left tackle will have a tough challenge against a Broncos' defense that leads the NFL in sacks with 34.0.

  • Cam Skattebo RB | NYG

    Giants' Cam Skattebo: Dislocated ankle confirmed

    Skattebo suffered a dislocated right ankle during Sunday's contest at Philadelphia and was transported to a local hospital to be evaluated further, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

    With a diagnosis now known for the gruesome right ankle injury he sustained in the second quarter that required an air cast to stabilize and a cart to get off the field, Skattebo is out indefinitely and likely for the rest of the campaign. The rookie fourth-round pick will yield New York's backfield to Tyrone Tracy moving forward.

  • Sam Ehlinger QB | DEN

    Broncos' Sam Ehlinger: Emergency QB for Week 8

    Ehlinger (coach's decision) is inactive but will serve as the Broncos' emergency third quarterback against the Cowboys on Sunday, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.

    As the emergency third quarterback, Ehlinger will see the field Sunday only in the event that both Bo Nix and Jarrett Stidham leave the game due to injury, illness or ejection.

  • Bengals' Trey Hendrickson: Out with hip injury

    Hendrickson (hip) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's game against the Jets.

    Hendrickson limped to the locker room during halftime of Sunday's contest against the Jets after he appeared to reaggravate a hip injury that kept him out in Week 7. Charlie Goldsmith of the Dayton Daily News added during halftime that the 30-year-old was struggling to walk on his own power. With the nine-year pro out, Myles Murphy is set for additional snaps. Hendrickson has totaled 15 tackles (10 solo), including 4.0 sacks, so far this season.

  • Tyquan Lewis DE | IND

    Colts' Tyquan Lewis: Inactive against Tennessee

    Lewis (groin) won't dress for Sunday's game against the Titans.

    After leaving during the first half of last week's game against the Chargers, Lewis will miss his first game of the season Sunday. The eight-year veteran didn't participate in practice all week. He has 3.0 sacks on the year, which is one shy of his career high.

  • Cowboys' Marshawn Kneeland: Good to go against Denver

    Kneeland (ankle) is active for Sunday's game against the Broncos.

    An ankle injury prevented Kneeland from playing against the Commanders in Week 7. He earned the questionable tag for Week 8 after logging a full practice Friday, and he has been given the green light to play Sunday after going through pregame warmups. Kneeland's return means there will be less rotational snaps at defensive end for the likes of Jadeveon Clowney, James Houston and Donovan Ezeiruaku.

  • Tez Johnson WR | TB

    Buccaneers' Tez Johnson: Added opportunity on tap Sunday

    Johnson is set to work as the Buccaneers' No. 3 receiver and likely see an increase in snap count and targets during Sunday's Week 8 matchup against the Saints due to the absences of Mike Evans (IR, collarbone/concussion) and Chris Godwin (fibula), Scott Smith of the team's official site reports.

    The rookie has already been making his mark in the Buccaneers' offense in recent games, recording his first pair of NFL touchdowns and two four-catch tallies in his last three contests. Johnson logged a career-high nine targets in the Week 7 loss to the Lions on Monday night as part of the ripple effect of Evans' early exit and Godwin's absence, and with the same conditions at play Sunday, the Oregon product could capitalize.

  • DJ Giddens RB | IND

    Colts' DJ Giddens: Inactive Sunday

    Giddens is inactive for Sunday's game against the Titans.

    With Giddens the odd man out in the Colts' Week 8 backfield, Ameer Abdullah and Tyler Goodson (in his return from a groin injury) are available to work behind Jonathan Taylor versus Tennessee.
