Alim McNeill

DET Nose Tackle #54

Lions signed DT Alim McNeill to a four-year, $97 million contract extension.

According to McNeill’s agent, Mike McCartney, the Lions agreed to a four-year extension with McNeill. The former third-round pick has 10.5 sacks in 52 games through four seasons with the Lions. Currently starting on the team’s defensive line, McNeill has three tackles for loss through five games this season. NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero reports it is a four-year, $97 million deal, including $55 million guaranteed. The Lions lock up their big nose tackle for four more years before he hits free agency.
Brandon McManus

GB Kicker #3

Packers signed K Brandon McManus, formerly of the Jaguars, to a one-year deal.

The Packers released Brayden Narveson in a corresponding move after he missed five of his 17 field goal attempts this season. They now add McManus, a 10-year veteran who spent last season with the Jaguars, his first nine with the Broncos, and made 81.4 percent of his career field goal attempts. McManus was under investigations of alleged sexual assault stemming from a 2023 incident, but the NFL concluded its investigation by determining there was insufficient evidence a violation of the personal conduct policy occurred. He re-joins the NFL with the Packers.
Cam Akers

MIN Running Back #22

Vikings acquired RB Cam Akers and a 2026 conditional seventh-round pick from the Texans in exchange for a 2026 conditional sixth-round pick.

This is the second season in a row the Vikings have traded for Cam Akers, who has 40 carries for 147 yards and a touchdown this season. This indicates Aaron Jones (hip) may still be feeling the effects of the hip injury he suffered in Week 5, though he was practicing on Monday. Akers adds depth to a backfield with Ty Chandler as the primary backup.
Pat Surtain II

DEN Defensive Back #2

Broncos CB Patrick Surtain (concussion) did not participate in Tuesday’s practice.

Surtain was estimated as a non-participant for practice for the second day in a row. He exited Week 6 against the Chargers due to a concussion and seems to still be in the protocol. On a short week ahead of a Thursday game against the Saints, it does not look like Surtain is slated to play. The Saints are thin at wide receiver, so Bub Means may be the primary beneficiary here.
Andrew Thomas

NYG Tackle #78

New York Post’s Paul Schwartz reports Giants OT Andrew Thomas (foot) will miss significant time.

Thomas underwent an MRI after the Giants’ Week 6 loss to the Bengals to check on his foot injury. Schwartz reports that Thomas will miss time with the injury and “the fear is it could be a Lisfranc injury.” If it indeed is a Lisfranc, Thomas’ season would be in jeopardy. The Giants’ offensive line will suffer without Thomas, who was expected to be a franchise cornerstone for the team after signing a five-year, $117.5 million deal during the 2023 offseason.
Davante Adams

NYJ Wide Receiver #17

ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports Jets WR Davante Adams (hamstring) is planning to make his Jets debut Week 7.

It did not take long for Adams to return from his apparent hamstring injury once he was dealt to the Jets. He missed three games from said injury/trade request and now will return to catch passes from old friend Aaron Rodgers in a primetime Sunday Night matchup against the Steelers for Week 7. The script could not be written better for Adams, who will be a low-end fantasy WR1 as he integrates into the Jets offense. Schefter also added that Adams restructured his contract to lower this season’s cap number to $3.21 million. Two voidable years were added to the deal as Adams’ future in New York will undoubtedly be tied to Rodgers.
Alvin Kamara

NO Running Back #41

Alvin Kamara (hand) was limited in practice Tuesday.

That’s back-to-back limited tags for Kamara, who appears to be trending on the right side of questionable ahead of Wednesday’s designations. With Spencer Rattler at quarterback and a ragtag group of receivers, it’s possible that the offense is entirely built on however much Kamara can give the Saints against the Broncos. He’ll be a risky play in season-long leagues due to the general Saints offensive trend — he had just 64 total yards on 18 touches last week.
Taysom Hill

NO Tight End #7

Taysom Hill (ribs) was limited in Tuesday’s practice.

He seemed to be absent from the portion of the practice open to the media, so Hill appears to be trending towards a questionable status tomorrow. Hill has not played since Week 4 with fractured ribs. If he did play, he’d certainly be an interesting start given the lack of Saints weapons at skill positions this week.
Rashid Shaheed

NO Wide Receiver #22

Rashid Shaheed (knee) did not practice on Tuesday.

Shahid is reportedly getting his knee checked to determine the severity of an injury he suffered in the fourth quarter, per Nick Underhill. He definitely appears to be trending towards being inactive for Thursday night. He may also be an IR candidate. Bub Means was New Orleans’ most-targeted receiver last game and may be a viable PPR scam on Thursday night with both Shaheed and Chris Olave likely out.
Clyde Edwards-Helaire

KC Running Back #25

Chiefs designated Clyde Edwards-Helaire (illness) to return from injured reserve.

That doesn’t necessarily mean he’ll be active this week, it just opens his 21-day practice window. Kansas City’s backfield seems pretty set at the moment with Kareem Hunt as the lead back, Samaje Perine as the third-down back, and Carson Steele as a fullback/backup. Edwards-Helaire would likely only return as a depth piece initially.
