Deebo Samuel Sr.

SF Wide Receiver #1

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

NBC Bay Area’s Matt Maiocco reports Deebo Samuel (illness) has been released from the hospital.

Obviously, terrific news for Deebo. His status for Week 8 remains rather unclear as things stand, but it seems likely that he’ll at least be around the team while he continues to recover this week. The 49ers injury report will tell more of the tale on Wednesday. Samuel was struggling through pneumonia.
Mike Evans

TB Wide Receiver #13

Buccaneers coach Todd Bowles said he doesn’t expect Mike Evans (hamstring) to return before the team’s Week 11 bye.

Confirming earlier reporting, Evans has a serious hamstring injury. It’s still possible that he’s placed on injured reserve, but the Buccaneers are playing it cagey with the idea that he could return for Week 12’s game against the Giants. Evans had a 26/335/6 receiving line in seven starts so far this season. He bequeaths Baker Mayfield, who is playing the best ball of his career, to Jalen McMillan, Sterling Shepard, and Cade Otton. “We’re not going to ask them to be Mike and Chris,” Bowles added. Well, duh.
Jamin Davis

FA Defensive End #52

Commanders released DE Jamin Davis.

A linebacker for his first three seasons, the Commanders new regime threw him at EDGE and gave him 86 snaps in five games. Davis did not record a sack. He also was cited twice for reckless driving. Still just 25, Davis is a potential reclamation project.
Mike Evans

TB Wide Receiver #13

Tampa Bay Times’ Rick Stroud expects Mike Evans to miss “at least” the next three games.

The Bucs reportedly aren’t planning to put Evans on injured reserve if there’s a chance he can return for Week 12’s game against the Giants. It sure sounds like Evans will be down for at least a month, including Tampa’s Week 11 bye. Jalen McMillan and Sterling Shepard will get target boosts without Evans and Chris Godwin. Cade Otton is also in line for major work.
Puka Nacua

LAR Wide Receiver #17

Rams designated Puka Nacua (knee) to return from injured reserve.

That will open up his 21-day window to return. Jay Glazer’s recent timeline for Nacua’s return looked to be heading towards early November, so it is possible he’s ready for Week 9. Week 10 might be a more realistic goal. It is unlikely he’ll turn it around in time to play on Thursday night against the Vikings.
Cooper Kupp

LAR Wide Receiver #10

The Athletic’s Diana Russini reports the Rams are “definitely open” to trading WR Cooper Kupp and the team is seeking a second-round pick.

The full quote: “If the Rams are willing to take on the salary I’ve heard they’re willing to do, they are definitely open to trading Cooper Kupp so we’ll see if they’ll be able to get a deal done.” Kupp has missed all but two games this season, but had a monster 21-target performance in Week 1. He turns 32 next offseason. The Rams, 2-4 and with some older players, could position themselves as a trade deadline seller if they’re able to get high picks in return.
Cordarrelle Patterson

PIT Running Back #84

Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin said RB Cordarrelle Patterson (ankle) could return in Week 8 against the Giants.

Patterson hasn’t played since Week 4 against the Colts while dealing with a lingering ankle injury. The veteran had 92 yards on 16 rushes over the season’s first four weeks along with five receptions for 34 yards. His return could take away snaps and touches for Jaylen Warren.
Micah Parsons

DAL EDGE #11

Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said DE Micah Parsons (ankle) is a game-time decision for Week 8.

Parsons has been sidelined for the past two games with a serious ankle injury. If he suits up against the Niners, Parsons could be used on a rotational basis before he gets a full complement of snaps in Week 9 or beyond. The Cowboys, allowing the NFL’s third highest EPA per play this season, desperately need Parsons back if they have any chance of slowing down the 49ers offense.
Jaylen Watson

KC Defensive Back #35

ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler reports Chiefs CB Jaylen Watson (ankle) could be out for the season.

Fowler said Watson, who suffered the injury in Week 7, “will undergo surgery in the coming days for a broken fibula-tibia (ankle) after tests confirmed the injury.” Fowler added there is an “outside chance he’s back for a late playoff push, source adds, but his season very well could be over.” Losing Warren would be a setback for a Kansas City secondary giving up the ninth lowest drop back EPA in 2024.
Chris Olave

NO Wide Receiver #12

NewOrleans.football’s Nick Underhill reports Chris Olave (concussion) could return in Week 8.

Olave is still making his way through the league’s concussion protocol following his Week 6 brain injury but Underhill said the receiver has a chance to suit up in Week 8 against the Chargers. With Rashid Shaheed (knee) done for the season, Olave could see a spike in targets in the balanced Saints offense. Olave drafters should check his Thursday and Friday practice status before plugging him into lineups this week.
