    ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports Gardner Minshew suffered a torn UCL and will undergo season-ending surgery.

    This was the expectation after Minshew severely injured his elbow in Week 9 against the Seahawks. His season is over after one incomplete start. Minshew threw for 354 yards and three scores in 2026. The surgery could sideline Minshew for over a year, meaning he may not play in 2027.

    ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports Patrick Mahomes suffered a “very small sprain of his UCL” and a muscle strain in Week 9 against the Jets.

    Mahomes’ right arm was clobbered by a Jets defender while attempting to throw a pass late in the first half of Week 9. It looked like a serious issue at first, but he managed to finish the game and didn’t even miss any practice time this week. Per Schefter, the Chiefs consulted with physicians from the Rangers and Royals, who are among the world’s best doctors when it comes to shoulder and elbow injuries. Both doctors cleared him to play.

    Rhamondre Stevenson (knee) is active for Week 10 against the Lions.

    There’ll be no Corey Kiner SZN then. I’ll tell the children. Stevenson is somewhat shockingly active after injuring his knee in Week 9. Initial reports had him missing multiple weeks. Instead, he’s good to go, though we should still expect Kiner to mix in for a few touches. Inactive for the Pats are QB Behren Morton, OG Ben Brown, OG Walter Rouse, OT Dametrious Crownover, CB Carlton Davis, and S Brenden Schooler.

    Amon-Ra St. Brown (ribs) is active for Week 10 against the Patriots.

    No surprise here. St. Brown is good to go as a mid-range WR1 for Week 10. Inactive for the Lions are CB D.J. Reed, C Cade Mays, DB Keith Abney II, LB Amen Ogbongbemiga, DT Mekhi Wingo, and EDGE Ahmed Hassanein.

    A.J. Brown (ankle/knee) is active for Week 10 against the Lions.

    Rhamondre Stevenson is also active. Brown made the trip to Germany and was limited in all three practices this week. He has been dealing with knee issues for several years, and we’re sure this isn’t the last we will hear of it in 2026. Still, he has been cleared for action today, meaning fantasy managers should get him in their lineups. We’re treating him as a volatile WR2.

    NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reports the Raiders planned to start Fernando Mendoza “in the next few weeks” even if Kirk Cousins had not been traded.

    With games against the Seahawks and Broncos on tap for Mendoza’s first two starts, the Raiders may have wanted to throw Cousins to the wolves for those games before getting the No. 1 overall pick under center against Cleveland. Instead, the Vikings offered Vegas a third-round pick for Cousins and the Raiders couldn’t say no. Mendoza will make his first NFL start at home versus Seattle today. We expect him to be in the QB2 mix at some point this year, but it might take a few weeks given Vegas’s tough schedule.

    NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reports the Vikings have talked to Kirk Cousins “about returning to Minnesota for the 2027 season.”

    Rapoport notes that the Vikings told Cousins they wanted him around beyond this year before their trade for him was complete. They would go on to pay a third-round pick to reunite with their former starter. Even if Cousins is far from a superstar quarterback, head coach Kevin O’Connell is clearly sick of the weekly carousel under center. The Vikings will be legitimate Super Bowl contenders if Cousins can just play as well as he did in Vegas. A deep playoff run will all but guarantee him a spot on the roster next year.

    NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reports Jaelan Phillips (hamstring) is expected to play in Week 10 against the Saints.

    Phillips hasn’t played since Week 6 because of the hamstring issue. One of Carolina’s biggest offseason additions, Phillips was off to a solid start to the year before going down. He had 2.5 sacks in five games, two of which he left early. Getting Phillips back will be a big win for the Panthers’ defense.

    NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reports Joey Porter Jr. (ankle) is “trending towards playing” in Week 10 against the 49ers.

    Fellow Dallas cornerback Daron Bland is also expected to play. We don’t foresee the Cowboys putting up much of a fight against the 49ers offense, but having both corners available will at least help them slow San Francisco down a bit. Porter has appeared in four games for the Cowboys this year. He has three pass breakups and eight combined tackles.

    NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reports Jordan Addison (thumb) “will have his status determined closer to game time.”

    Addison injured his thumb in practice on Friday and the team listed him as questionable for today’s game. The team elevated wide receiver Jeshaun Jones from the practice squad yesterday, casting some doubt on Addison’s availability. With Jauan Jennings also out, Tai Felton and Myles Price could be in line for larger roles today.
