    ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports Chargers C Tyler Biadasz is out indefinitely with a knee injury.

    Biadasz sustained a major knee injury this week in joint practices with the 49ers. Schefter said Biadasz sustained “damage to his ACL and additional injuries to his left knee,” and will seek second opinions on how to deal with the injury. That’s never a good sign, and likely means Biadasz is done for the 2026 season. His absence could be a blow for Omarion Hampton and the Chargers’ run game under new OC Mike McDaniel.

    Biadasz sustained “damage to his ACL” during a joint practice with the 49ers last week and is now out for the season after seeking out multiple opinions on the injury. The veteran center signed a three-year deal with the Chargers earlier this offseason after being a surprise release by the Commanders and was expected to solidify the interior of an offensive line that dealt with multiple injuries last season.
  • LAC Center #63
    It comes as little surprise after Biadasz was carted off the field during Tuesday’s joint practice with the Niners. Losing Biadasz would be a heavy blow for Mike McDaniels, Justin Herbert, and the LA offense. It looks like the Bolts will have to play most of the 2026 season without their stud center as major injuries continue to haunt the organization.
  • LAC Center #63
    He couldn’t put any weight on his leg and “smacked the cart when he sat on it.” This sounds like it has the potential to be a season-ender for the newly-signed center. The Chargers did just spend a second-round pick on Florida’s Jake Slaughter, but he’s been in competition for the left guard spot. If Biadasz is out for a significant period, it would make sense for them to divert Slaughter back to the position he played in college.
  • LAC Center #63
    A week after being released by the Commanders, Biadasz now lands with the Chargers, who were desperately hoping to upgrade their offensive line this offseason. The sixth-year vet also had interest from the Bears, but the Chargers clearly offered the more enticing deal to bring in the former Pro Bowler. Biadasz has played in 31 of a possible 34 games since 2024 and earned a PFF grade of 70.7 while playing on 954 snaps last season. He’ll provide an immediate upgrade at center for a Chargers offensive line that was among the league’s worst last season.
  • LV Defensive End #98
    Schefter also said the Bears currently have “no ties” to Trey Hendrickson, and he believes they could pursue C Tyler Biadasz or C Lloyd Cushenberry to handle other needs. The Bears have been linked to Crosby in other reports, so this is interesting. Earlier today, Trey Wingo reported that the Cowboys are expected to pursue Hendrickson after other teams entered trade talks with the Raiders last night by reportedly putting two first-round picks on the table.
  • FA Center #63
    Seems like they may have known about Drew Dalman’s retirement before we did. Biadasz played reasonably for the Commanders last season and would seem like a solid Dalman replacement given the alternatives.
  • FA Center #63
    Biadasz joined the Commanders in 2024 and started all 31 games he played. The veteran center’s release comes with one year still left on his deal, but it can net the team savings just north of $8.285 million if he’s designated as a post-June 1 release. A one-time Pro Bowler, Biadasz will be 28 at the start of next season and earned a PFF grade of 71.5 while playing on 954 snaps, per PFF. He should have plenty of suitors on the open market in the coming days.
  • WAS Center #63
    As is right tackle Cornelius Lucas. Both linemen got in one limited practice this week. The team is likely ramping them up for a return in the Wild Card Round. Down multiple offensive linemen, the Commanders could take a conservative approach on offense this week. They are locked into a playoff spot regardless of the outcome of this game.
  • WAS Kicker #47
    Gonzalez is dealing with a left foot injury and was listed as questionable entering the weekend despite being a full participant in Thursday and Friday’s practices. Apparently unwilling to risk it, the Commanders have opted to sit Gonzalez for Week 15, thus forcing newly-signed vet Greg Joseph into the role. Joseph has converted on 13-of-16 field goal attempts this season while playing with the Giants while making all six of his extra point attempts. In addition to Gonzalez, the Commanders also declared WR K.J. J Osborn, QB Jeff Driskel, CB Michael Davis, LB Dominique Hampton C Tyler Biadasz, and DT Phidarian Mathis inactive. Biadasz was reportedly dealing with an illness that struck over the weekend, which led to the team holding him out after pre-game warmups.
  • WAS Center #63
    Biadasz presumably fell ill overnight, prompting the team to give him an injury designation. Per NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, Biadasz “needs to improve a lot to play.” It sounds like backup center Michael Deiter will draw the start this week.

    Texans placed Jawhar Jordan on injured reserve.

    Jordan was elevated from the practice squad over the weekend and backed up Woody Marks on Sunday. He ran six times for 43 yards and a score. His 25-yard touchdown run was the Texans’ longest rush attempt of the season. The team hasn’t disclosed Jordan’s injury yet, but he will miss at least four games while on IR. Dare Ogunbowale will serve as Houston’s RB2 until David Montgomery is healthy.

    Rashee Rice (hamstring) did not practice Wednesday.

    Right tackle Jaylon Moore was also held out of practice with a concussion. Rice went down with the hamstring issue in Week 4. Even with a bye week to heal before Week 6, he wasn’t ready to return. A DNP today suggests he will miss at least one more game. Xavier Worthy led the Chiefs with seven catches for 73 yards in his absence last week. He would be in line for another high-usage game if Rice remains out for Week 7’s game against the Seahawks.

    Baker Mayfield (thumb) returned to practice Wednesday.

    Mayfield hasn’t played since dislocating his thumb in Week 3. As of late last week, he hadn’t even thrown a football since suffering the injury. Todd Bowles told reporters on Monday that he’s preparing for Jalon Daniels to start, but Mayfield’s return to practice puts things up in the air. His practice statuses over the next few days will be telling. For now, fantasy managers should still plan on seeing Daniels under center, but this is a situation to monitor throughout the week.

    Adonai Mitchell (finger) was limited in Wednesday’s practice.

    Mitchell has missed the past four weeks with a finger injury that required a “small procedure” to fix. Though a limited practice today doesn’t guarantee he will be back for Week 7, it’s a big step in the right direction. Mitchell had nine catches for 123 yards in his first two appearances this year. If he’s able to return this week, he would at least earn a spot on the WR3/4 border versus the Dolphins.

    Lamar Jackson (ankle) was not seen at the start of Wednesday’s practice.

    Jackson will go down as a DNP when the Ravens drop their first official injury report of the week. He hasn’t practiced since suffering an ankle injury in Week 4. Head coach Jesse Minter insisted earlier this week that Jackson was making progress, but we doubt it’s enough to get him back on the field for Week 7. Tyler Huntley appears to be the favorite to start against the Bengals.

    Breece Hall (quad) did not practice Wednesday.

    Head coach Aaron Glenn noted that Hall’s status will be evaluated throughout the week. Hall hasn’t played since injuring his quad in Week 3. If the Jets expected him to miss four games, they likely would have placed him on injured reserve. On the other hand, Adonai Mitchell just missed four games with a hand injury and was not placed on IR, so the team seemingly doesn’t have a great read on their players’ health. Hall will likely miss Week 7. Braelon Allen, in turn, is in line for a high-end RB2 ranking versus a weak Dolphins defense.

    ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler reports J.J. McCarthy will start in Week 7 against the Texans.

    John Harbaugh is making the switch after a historic fourth quarter from “NINE”. McCarthy threw for 243 yards and a score in 11 minutes of action as the Giants mounted a frantic comeback against the Saints. Though he came up short in the end, McCarthy gave the Giants’ offense life after three dreadful quarters from James Winston. Now he’ll get the first snap versus a Houston defense that has been surprisingly ineffective this year. McCarthy is a high-risk QB2 for his first start as a Giant. He should at least be added in all Superflex formats.

    Browns head coach Todd Monken said he’s “optimistic” Quinshon Judkins (ankle) will play in Week 7 against the Titans.

    Monken sounded like Judkins and Dylan Sampson will be active and ready to go against Tennessee. Judkins had been the locked-in lead back for Cleveland before his Week 5 ankle injury, seeing 71 percent of the team’s designed rushing attempts. The potential return of Sampson, a good pass catcher, could complicate things for Judkins’ involvement in the pass game going forward. Judkins will be a touchdown-dependent flex play against a Titans defense allowing the NFL’s ninth lowest rushing success rate in 2026.

    ESPN’s Dan Graziano believes Vita Vea could be traded before the NFL’s trade deadline.

    With the Bucs’ 2026 season circling the drain, Vea, 31, could be dealt in the coming weeks to a contending team looking to beef up their defensive line for a second half run to the postseason. In coming to a contract compromise with Vea before the regular season, the Bucs “didn’t act as if he was part of their long-term future, and if teams come looking for a big, run-stuffing defensive tackle, Tampa would be silly not to listen,” Graziano said. Vea through Week 6 has a 17 percent pass rush win rate, which ranks 15th among defensive tackles.

    49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan said Christian Kirk is a “possibility” for Week 7.

    Kirk has been on injured reserve with a calf injury but could return to the Niners’ injury-ravaged receivers room this Sunday against the pass-funnel Falcons defense. “He had two good practices (last week). It was just his first two practices of the year,” Shanahan said of Kirk, who last year had 239 yards and a touchdown in 13 regular season games for the Texans. “We were down on wideouts, so it was still something we discussed, but we decided to give it another week.” If Kirk returns and plays something close to a full complement of snaps against Atlanta, he could function as the team’s No. 1 receiver with Mike Evans (Achilles) seemingly unlikely to suit up. Kirk should be rostered in most 12-team leagues and all deeper formats.
