Jimmy Horn Jr. WR | CAR
Panthers' Jimmy Horn: Minimal output in win
Horn caught one of two targets for one yard and rushed once for seven yards during Sunday's 16-13 win over the Packers.
The 23-year-old played just 13 offensive snaps and operated as Carolina's No. 4 wideout in the Week 9 win. Through his first five NFL games, Horn has caught six of 10 targets for 66 yards and rushed seven times for 44 yards. He's likely to continue playing a depth role in the Panthers' receiving corps ahead of the Week 10 matchup against the Saints.

Cody Simon LB | ARI
Cardinals' Cody Simon: Iffy for Monday night
The Cardinals added Simon to their injury report and list him as questionable for Monday's game against the Cowboys due to an illness, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.
Arizona will likely see how Simon is feeling closer to the game's 8:15 p.m. ET kickoff before deciding whether or not to make him active for the contest. A fourth-pick out of Ohio State, Simon is a depth linebacker who has played almost exclusively on special teams during his rookie season.

Commanders' Marshon Lattimore: May have torn ACL in Week 9
Lattimore (knee) is believed to have sustained a season-ending ACL tear during Sunday's 38-14 loss to the Seahawks, Ian Rapoport and Mike Garafolo of NFL Network report.
Lattimore is scheduled to undergo an MRI on Monday to confirm the injury, but if he's diagnosed with ligament damage to his knee, he would require surgery that would sideline him for the rest of the season and potentially affect his availability for the start of the 2026 campaign. A four-time Pro Bowler, Lattimore hasn't been in peak form in 2025, but he's an every-down player in an already suspect Washington defense that can ill afford to lose key contributors. Through nine appearances on the season, Lattimore has tallied 27 tackles (16 solo), seven pass breakups, one interception and one fumble recovery.

Marcus Mariota QB | WAS
Commanders' Marcus Mariota: Stepping in as Week 10 starter
Mariota is slated to start at quarterback for the Commanders in Week 10 against the Lions with Jayden Daniels having sustaining a dislocated left elbow in Sunday's 38-14 loss to the Seahawks, John Keim of ESPN.com reports.
Mariota came on in relief with 7:39 remaining in the fourth quarter and handed off on all seven of his snaps as the Commanders ran out the clock in a blowout loss. Though a recovery timeline for Daniels won't be established until he undergoes an MRI on Monday, the injury to his non-throwing elbow appears likely to result in him landing on injured reserve, and it could cost him the rest of the season. Mariota had previously made three starts in place of Daniels this season. In those contests, Mariota completed 52 of 78 pass attempts (66.6 percent) for 576 yards (7.4 YPA), four touchdowns and three interceptions while adding 88 rushing yards and a touchdown on 16 carries.

Jayden Daniels QB | WAS
Commanders' Jayden Daniels: Dislocates elbow, set to miss time
Daniels sustained a dislocated left elbow in the fourth quarter of Sunday's 38-14 loss to the Seahawks and will be sidelined indefinitely, though the Commanders aren't yet certain whether he'll miss the rest of the season, John Keim of ESPN.com reports.
Though Washington was trailing by 31 points midway through the fourth quarter, Daniels remained in the game before suffering the gruesome injury to his non-throwing arm when he was sacked for the fourth time in the game at the Seahawks' four-yard line. His elbow bent backward on the tackle, and while head coach Dan Quinn didn't provide an immediate diagnosis for Daniels' injury following the game, early tests have apparently ruled out a fracture. The second-year quarterback is scheduled to undergo an MRI on Monday to confirm the diagnosis, after which a firmer timeline for his recovery should become clearer. At the very least, Daniels looks destined to miss the Commanders' Week 10 game versus the Lions, and a stint on injured reserve -- and a minimum four-game absence -- looms as a likely outcome. Marcus Mariota replaced Daniels late in Sunday's game and would once again be the next man up at quarterback for Washington, having already filled in when Daniels missed three games earlier this season due to knee and hamstring injuries.

Luke McCaffrey WR | WAS
Commanders' Luke McCaffrey: Sustains fractured collarbone
McCaffrey was diagnosed with a fractured collarbone following his departure from Sunday's 38-14 loss to the Seahawks and is slated to be placed on injured reserve in the coming days, John Keim of ESPN.com reports.
McCaffrey sustained the injury during his 19-yard return on the game's opening kickoff and was quickly ruled out for the rest of the contest. The Commanders haven't provided an official timeline for McCaffrey's return or indicated whether or not he needs surgery, but the young wideout's pending move to IR means that he'll miss at least four games and won't be available again until Week 15 at the soonest. Even before going down with the injury, McCaffrey had handled a understated role in the Washington passing game. Through his nine appearances on the season, McCaffrey hadn't drawn more than three targets in any game, despite top wideout Terry McLaurin (quadriceps) having missed five of those contests.

George Holani RB | SEA
Seahawks' George Holani: Rushes three times in win
Holani rushed three times for nine yards in Sunday's 38-14 win over the Commanders. He also returned two kicks for 29 yards.
Holani carried the ball for the first time since Week 3, as the Seahawks got out to a convincing lead early. Kenneth Walker and Zach Charbonnet will continue to handle a bulk of the workload as long as they're healthy, while Holani should mostly stick to special teams in typical game scripts.

AJ Barner TE | SEA
Seahawks' AJ Barner: Scores in blowout win
Barner caught three of four targets for 24 yards and rushed once for a one-yard touchdown in Sunday's 38-14 win over the Commanders.
Barner took a direct snap in the third quarter and plowed into the end zone to extend the Seahawks' lead to 38-7. The second-year tight end continues to operate as the clear No. 1 on the depth chart ahead of rookie Elijah Arroyo, as Barner played 43 of 51 offensive snaps (84 percent) and finished tied for second on the team in targets. He's scored five touchdowns through eight games, but has averaged just 29.5 receiving yards per game.

Elijah Arroyo TE | SEA
Seahawks' Elijah Arroyo: Scores first TD
Arroyo caught two passes on two targets for 29 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 38-14 win over the Commanders.
Arroyo notched his first career touchdown on a 26-yard pass in the second quarter. Despite the blowout, the starters played nearly the entire game, and Arroyo played just 22 of 51 offensive snaps (43 percent), which has his standard workload this season with AJ Barner handling a nearly every-down role. Arroyo's touchdown provided an intriguing flash of athleticism and upside, but he'll be tough to depend on until he secures an increased role.

Braxton Berrios WR | HOU
Texans' Braxton Berrios: Given return duties only
Berrios returned two kickoffs for 49 yards and did not appear on offense in Sunday's 18-15 loss to Denver in Week 9.
After recording five catches in Week 8, when Houston was without Nico Collins and Christian Kirk, Berrios was limited to special-teams-duty Sunday due to the return of the team's top two wideouts. If the Texans' season slips away -- they are 3-5 and outside the playoff picture for now -- any offensive role for the veteran Berrios could disappear, as Houston would likely want to give more looks to rookies Jayden Higgins and Jaylin Noel instead.
