Bucs’ McMillan, Tucker officially inactive vs. CIN

D’Andre Swift will serve as the team’s top back, while Roschon Johnson rotates in behind him. Johnson’s Week 6 fumble could result in less playing time. The Bears face the Seahawks in Week 8. Monangai was unable to practice all week. Hopefully, he returns next week and can be on the field on game day. Keenum will serve as the emergency third quarterback today.

Gonzalez is active, but it sounds like he is not feeling great. ESPN’s Mike Reiss writes that Gonzalez “will attempt to play through” his illness. The Patriots declared DT Joshua Farmer, QB Behren Morton, G/C Ben Brown (knee), CB Karon Prunty (hamstring), CB Channing Canada (hamstring) and CB Carlton Davis III (neck) inactive for Week 7 against the Bears. Davis serves as the team’s No. 2 perimeter cornerback. Prunty and Canada are Gonzalez and Davis’ primary backups. The Bears’ passing game should play productively tonight.

Phew. Seeing Bowers return to full participation today is heartening. The star tight end appeared on the injury report as a limited participant yesterday, leaving some questions as to when the injuries occured, and how severe they are. Ideall, he remains full tomorrow and can be started as an elite TE1 as usual against the Rams this week.

McDuffie, the Rams’ No. 1 cornerback, and LB Nate Landman (concussion) were both sidelined today. Both players are on the wrong side of questionable for the Rams’ Week 7 game against the Raiders.

Eagles C Drew Kendall (knee) was also limited. Both players were listed as questionable to play in Week 6 against the Panthers. Neither player was able to suit up. Beginning the week with limited sessions is promising. The Eagles face the Cowboys on Monday night.

Goedert missed time with a knee injury earlier this year, but he was not on the injury report last week. This could just be a maintenance day, but it is worth keeping an eye on in the lead up to the Eagles’ Monday Night Football game against the Cowboys.

The Eagles held Smith out for multiple drives in Week 6 against the Panthers, in his first game back from a multi-week hamstring injury. He was also dealing with a toe issue. The latter injury is now behind him, and we suspect that his day off today is just a veteran maintenance day. He should be good to go for the Eagles’ Week 7 game against the Cowboys on Monday night.

Wicks swaps out his multi-week hamstring injury for an ankle injury. He managed to play through it in Week 6 against the Panthers after meeting with the training staff. We expect him to face the Cowboys on Monday night, but he is just a boom-bust FLEX.

Holder writes that “trade speculation is swirling” around Buckner and notes that Nelson is in the final year of his deal, potentially providing motivation for the Colts to move him. Neither player had much to say when asked about a potential trade, but per Holder, “it is widely expected that significant organizational changes might be coming after the eventual hire of a new general manager.” Stay tuned.

According to Holder, multiple teams would be open to trading for Taylor, but it remains unclear whether the Colts are ready to be sellers before the trade deadline. Colts GM Chris Ballard was recently fired, and “it is widely expected that significant organizational changes might be coming” after the eventual hiring of a new general manager.
