DJ Moore returns to practice in non-contact jersey

St. Brown is dealing with what sounds like a minor ankle injury after Week 7’s win over the Packers. Campbell said he could likely be held out of practice on Wednesday before the team begins ramping him up on Thursday, but tempered any optimism by adding, “We’ll see when we get there.” The 4-2 Lions are playing host to the undefeated Vikings in a game that could end up deciding the winners of the NFC North later in the season. Unless this injury is more serious than Campbell is letting on, we would expect St. Brown to be on the field and operating as a high-end WR1.

This comes just over 24 hours after it was reported that Jackson would play in Week 8 against the Bills. Speaking with the media on Monday, Minter played coy with his remarks about his QB1 while adding that the team will know more about his status when they take the practice field on Wednesday. Jackson was reportedly close to suiting up for Week 7 against the Browns, but we heard similar reports three weeks ago when the Ravens faced the Falcons. While Jackson missing another game would be a bit surprising at this point, it’s hard to be surprised by any games he misses at this stage in his career, as they often seem to linger longer than expected.

Nick Singleton is “still growing in that regard,” per Saleh. It sounds like Singleton may need to wait for a Tony Pollard trade to open up early-down carries if he’s going to be active this year.

This is presumably good news for Richardson, who could be an injury or benching of Daniel Jones away from seeing his first action in 2026. Richardson was cited for marijuana possession earlier this month and said after Week 7’s loss to the Vikings that he doesn’t “really regret a lot of things I do” when asked about it after the game. Steichen said he had conversations with Richardson, which will remain private, but it sounds like his status as the Colts’ QB2 remains intact heading into Week 8.

Brooks had to get an emergency surgery on his wrist, per the post. Tough break for a 2023 seventh-round pick that had just started finding real playing time in the desert. The 26-year-old is in the final year of his rookie contract. His absence should open up more targets for Kendrick Bourne.

Macdonald said the team will continue to stick to their plan regarding Charbonnet’s return. The 25-year-old running back was activated from the PUP list last week, only to be ruled out before the weekend as the Seahawks were preparing to face the Chiefs. It’s worth noting that Charbonnet was a full participant in practice last week, so we would assume he will log another full week of practices this week. Should the Seahawks opt to sideline Charbonnet next week, Emanuel Wilson would again assume the role as lead back.

Ayanna Taylor has been discussing the trade on TikTok. Her husband added: “You know everybody’s on TikTok these days. So, you just have to come into work and stay focused.” Since Chris Ballard’s firing, Taylor trade rumors have picked up steam. He refused to address them when asked after last week’s game, but his wife has posted about them, saying: “They have a losing record, they just fired their 10-year GM and they have no (first-round) draft picks. How are they gonna get new leadership to come in when they really have no options to transform the team?” Ayanna Taylor knows ball. We’ll see if the Colts ultimately trade Taylor; the price will be quite high and Jonathan Jones reported on Saturday it hasn’t been discussed internally yet. The rest of the NFL clearly seems to want it to happen.

Always a good sign for the quarterback when the coach has to defend his plan to keep starting said quarterback in back-to-back postgame availabilities. While we empathize with the Indianapolis media that clearly has seen enough of Jones, we’re not sure what exactly they think will go differently with Anthony Richardson — who spent his press availability on Sunday noting that he doesn’t “really regret a lot of things I do” after a citation for marijuana possession — under center. Richardson’s in the final year of his rookie contract. The Colts remain a mess after firing Chris Ballard. Jones probably won’t play this poorly next week against a non-Vikings defense, but it’s hard to deny that he’s playing poorly.

He also noted that Coleman’s touches were explosive. It’s hard to sit here with much certainty about what looks to be a three-headed Broncos running back room where every back has their niche, but Coleman probably enters Week 8 as the favorite of the three to crack 10 touches. Payton added, for the 17th time since he became Broncos coach, that he needed to get more touches for Marvin Mims on offense. We’ll believe that when we see it.

Quinn did mention usage from “elsewhere” and the name “Antonio Williams” came up. Williams won’t be a buzzy waiver wire claim this week but could find himself in a reasonable WR3/WR4 sort of situation as the year unfolds.
