  • Cardinals' Wydett Williams: Dealing with concussion

    Williams suffered a concussion Sunday versus the Lions, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

    Williams took a blow to the head, and he will now be unavailable for the rest of Sunday's matchup. In his absence, Dadrion Taylor-Demerson is the most likely candidate to take over at free safety versus Detroit.

  • Alvin Kamara RB | NO

    Saints' Alvin Kamara: Limited to five touches Sunday

    Kamara rushed three times for 12 yards and brought in both targets for minus-6 yards in the Saints' 23-13 loss to the Vikings on Sunday.

    Kamara dealt with a back issue during the practice week, and it's possible that helped lead to Kendre Miller outpacing the veteran back by seven carries. Kamara's minimal opportunity unsurprisingly led to a forgettable fantasy day overall, although the entire Saints offense was underwhelming against the vaunted Vikings defense. Given Sunday's division of labor, Kamara could continue losing some touches to Miller while Travis Etienne (hamstring, IR) remains on injured reserve for a Week 6 road matchup against the Giants next Sunday.

  • Cam Skattebo RB | NYG

    Giants' Cam Skattebo: Loses key fumble in Week 5 tie

    Skattebo rushed 13 times for 59 yards and caught two of three targets for 12 yards in Sunday's 27-27 tie against the Commanders. He also lost a fumble.

    After a quiet performance in regulation, Skattebo saved his best and worst moments for overtime. He racked up 40 of his 71 scrimmage yards in OT, but Skattebo fumbled on Washington's 24-yard line as the Giants were in range for a potential game-winning field-goal attempt. That mistake was matched by a clock-management error on the other end, which prevented the Commanders from attempting a game-winning field goal of their own prior to the end of OT. Skattebo will be motivated to atone for his fumble in Week 6 against the Saints' leaky run defense.

  • Jayden Daniels QB | WAS

    Commanders' Jayden Daniels: Two rushing TDs in return

    Daniels (elbow) completed 17 of 25 passes for 199 yards, no touchdowns and no interceptions while rushing nine times for 103 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 27-27 tie against the Giants. He also threw a successful two-point conversion.

    Daniels wasn't afraid to run in his return from a two-game absence due to a dislocated left elbow. He scored second-half rushing touchdowns of 38 and 26 yards, the latter of which Daniels followed up with a two-point conversion to Terry McLaurin to give the Commanders a 14-point lead with 11:05 left in the fourth quarter. The Giants proceeded to erase that deficit and force OT, where Daniels drove the Commanders down to the Giants' 24-yard line with 55 seconds remaining, but Washington remarkably failed to get a game-winning field-goal attempt off, as the Commanders ran the clock down and then failed to stop the clock when Daniels went down inbounds on their final offensive play. The bizarre ending overshadows what was otherwise an encouraging performance from Daniels, who made it through the game without any physical setbacks and is set to start in Week 6 against the 49ers.

  • Bud Dupree OLB | LAC

    Chargers' Bud Dupree: Downgrades to out Sunday

    Dupree (neck) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's game against the Broncos.

    Dupree exited the third quarter of Sunday's contest with a neck injury. The linebacker was originally questionable to return, but after extended evaluation, the injury has apparently been deemed severe enough to eliminate Dupree from the rest of the Chargers' divisional showdown with the Broncos.

  • Tee Higgins WR | CIN

    Bengals' Tee Higgins: Two catches in Week 5 win

    Higgins brought in two of four targets for 22 yards in the Bengals' 31-24 win over the Dolphins on Sunday.

    Higgins was able to work through groin and neck injuries to suit up Sunday, but the veteran field-stretching receiver wasn't called on to do much on an afternoon when Joe Burrow threw for a season-low 192 yards. Nevertheless, Higgins seemingly made it through the game unscathed -- albeit with season-low totals across the board -- and he'll now have a Week 6 bye to further recover before a Week 7 road matchup against the Ravens on Sunday, Oct. 25.

  • Tre Harris WR | LAC

    Chargers' Tre' Harris: Dealing with hamstring injury

    Harris (hamstring) is questionable to return to Sunday's contest against the Broncos.

    Harris is dealing with an apparent hamstring injury, and his availability for the stretch run of Sunday's matchup is now up in the air. In his absence, Marquez Valdes-Scantling and Derius Davis will likely slot into more prominent roles on offense.

  • Browns' Carson Schwesinger: Wearing walking boot after loss

    Schwesinger (lower leg) was seen in a walking boot after the Browns' 17-12 loss to the Jets on Sunday, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

    Schwesinger sustained a lower-leg injury during Sunday's loss but did not receive an official injury designation. It is unclear how significant the injury to the defensive captain and signal caller is.

  • Chase Brown RB | CIN

    Bengals' Chase Brown: Can't do much with 16 touches

    Brown rushed 13 times for 39 yards and brought in three of four targets for 21 yards in the Bengals' 31-24 win over the Dolphins on Sunday. He also lost a fumble.

    As his final numbers corroborate, Brown found efficiency on the ground elusive against a surprisingly game Dolphins defense. The versatile back made a serviceable impact as a complementary option in the passing game, although his lost fumble came after a three-yard reception just past the midway point of the second quarter. Brown also saw Samaje Perine get some significant second-half run and ultimately outpace him by one rush attempt, but the former should remain the lead option in the ground attack coming out of a Week 6 bye in a Week 7 road matchup against the Ravens on Sunday, Oct. 25.

  • Drake Thomas LB | SEA

    Seahawks' Drake Thomas: Dealing with ankle injury

    Thomas (ankle) is questionable to return to Sunday's contest against the 49ers, Curtis Crabtree of Fox 13 Seattle reports.

    Thomas suffered an ankle injury during the first half of the game, and his status for the second half is now uncertain. In his absence, Tyrice Knight and Patrick O'Connell are both candidates to see increased roles at inside linebacker versus San Francisco.
