  • Will Johnson CB | ARI

    Cardinals' Will Johnson: Will play Week 9

    Johnson (groin) is active for Monday's game against the Cowboys, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

    The rookie second-rounder missed two games earlier in the season due to a groin injury, but he was able to play through the issue in the two contests prior to the Week 8 bye. The injury limited Johnson's practice participation Friday and Saturday, but he has been cleared to suit up Week 9 after going through pregame warmups.

    Cowboys' Juanyeh Thomas: Cleared for Week 9

    Thomas (migraine) is active for Monday's game against the Cardinals.

    Thomas has missed each of the Cowboys' last two games with a migraine, but he'll be ready to return to face Arizona on Monday Night Football. He should serve as the starting free safety and be in a good position to post solid IDP stats.

  • Walter Nolen DT | ARI

    Cardinals' Walter Nolen: Green light to play Dallas

    The Cardinals activated Nolen (calf) from injured reserve, and he is active for Monday's game against the Cowboys, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

    The rookie first-rounder has been cleared to make his NFL regular-season debut after missing the first seven games due to a calf injury he sustained during training camp. Nolen will likely work in a rotational role at defensive tackle when Calais Campbell and Dalvin Tomlinson are resting.

  • Malik Davis RB | DAL

    Cowboys' Malik Davis: Active Monday while Blue isn't

    Davis is active but fellow RB Jaydon Blue (coach's decision) is inactive for Monday's game against the Cardinals.

    Davis was signed from the practice squad to the active roster Monday, and now he and Hunter Luepke will be the options at running back behind starter Javonte Williams. Blue lost a fumble during the Cowboys' Week 8 loss at Denver, so this move appears to be related to performance. In any case, Davis has just two carries for three yards in two previous appearances this season, and he's unlikely to carve too much into Williams' workhorse role Week 9.

  • Jack Stoll TE | NO

    Saints' Jack Stoll: Nursing high-ankle sprain

    Head coach Kellen Moore said Monday that Stoll sustained a high-ankle sprain during the Saints' 34-10 loss to the Rams on Sunday, Ross Jackson of WWL Louisiana reports.

    Stoll was carted to the locker room during the fourth quarter of Sunday's game and is considered week-to-week due to a high-ankle sprain. He's unlikely to be available for this Sunday's game against the Panthers, but with the Saints on a bye Week 11, he may have enough time to recover and return in Week 12 against the Falcons on Sunday, Nov. 23. Zaire Mitchell-Paden and Foster Moreau should see more snaps at tight end behind Juwan Johnson for as long as Stoll is sidelined.

  • Ravens' Broderick Washington: Undergoes surgery on Achilles

    Head coach John Harbaugh told reporters Monday that Washington successfully underwent Achilles tendon surgery, Jonas Shaffer of TheBaltimoreBanner.com reports.

    Washington landed on injured reserve in late September due to what was initially listed as an ankle injury, but it's an Achilles injury that the 2020 fifth-rounder is rehabbing from. The injury isn't a tear, and while a timetable for his recovery hasn't been shared by the Ravens, Harbaugh relayed that a return for Washington is not "imminent." John Jenkins will continue to work in an elevated role on the defensive line for as long as Washington is sidelined.

  • Jaydon Blue RB | DAL

    Cowboys' Jaydon Blue: Inactive in Week 9

    Blue (coach's decision) is listed as inactive Monday against the Cardinals.

    Blue committed a fumble during a Week 8 loss in Denver, after which coach Brian Schottenheimer told Nick Harris of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram that players "can't put the ball on the ground." The Cowboys then signed Malik Davis from the practice squad to the active roster ahead of Monday's game. indicating a change at the No. 2 RB spot may be possible. With Blue officially in street clothes Week 9, Davis will serve as the primary backup to starter Javonte Williams.

  • Kyler Murray QB | ARI

    Cardinals' Kyler Murray: Officially inactive again

    Murray (foot) is listed as inactive Monday at Dallas, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

    Murray hasn't been able to upgrade to full participation in practice due to a mid-foot sprain that he initially suffered Week 5 against the Titans, and he'll now be sidelined for a third straight game while Jacoby Brissett continues to lead the Cardinals offense and Kedon Slovis serves as the backup. Murray's next chance for game action is this coming Sunday at Seattle.

  • Packers' John FitzPatrick: Finishes without target

    FitzPatrick was not targeted in Sunday's 16-13 loss to the Panthers.

    FitzPatrick played 18 snaps in Week 9 but did not have a pass thrown his direction for the third time in five games. He will likely be more involved moving forward with fellow tight end Tucker Kraft (knee) out for the season, but just how much remains to be seen, and he presumably remains the second option at his position behind Luke Musgrave.

  • Packers' Chris Brooks: Corrals two passes

    Brooks was targeted twice and had two receptions for 24 yards in Sunday's 16-13 loss to the Panthers.

    Brooks played 11 snaps in Week 9 -- the most he has recorded in a game since Week 2 -- and got a couple touches, but it was still only the second time all season he finished with more than one. He remains the third running back on the depth chart for the Packers.
