Murray headlines inactives for Week 5

Simmons has been held out of practice for roughly two months while dealing with a bulging disc in his lower back. Kansas City’s starting left tackle has yet to play a snap this year while dealing with the back injury. Head coach Andy Reid said the team will “ease him back in, but on a limited basis.” There is currently no timetable for when Simmons will return. Undrafted Khalil Benson has been serviceable as the team’s starting left tackle, but Simmons will ultimately be a notable upgrade whenever he returns to action. Benson is still expected to start this week versus the Chargers.

The Eagles desperately need offensive line health. Dickerson’s return cannot come soon enough. New Eagles C Drew Kendall (knee) was not seen practicing today, though Dickerson has officially resumed practicing in some capacity, which is great news. He was seen taking the field with his teammates this afternoon. The Eagles also opened DB Jakorian Bennett, TE Grant Calcaterra and TE Eli Stowers’ (hamstring/quad) practice windows.

Hill continues to rehab his surgically repaired knee, following a multi-ligament, season-ending injury in 2025, “with the goal of being on a team in the immediate future.” Earlier today, Hill was found “liable for two of 10 counts related to domestic violence and awarded his estranged wife $500,000 in compensatory damages.” He could face a suspension from the league if he signs with an NFL team. Chiefs players recently said they would be in favor of bringing Hill back to Kansas City.

Kubiak also shot down the idea of the Raiders resting Jeanty for a week, despite it being reported earlier today that the Raiders were considering giving him a week off to recover at some point. Jeanty has been dreadfully inefficient this year, averaging a meager 3.3 yards per carry, though the team’s subpar offensive line also deserves some of the blame. For fantasy purposes, his workload has been the big draw. He is averaging 22 touches per game through five weeks. Even if the foot and ankle injuries continue to bother him, Jeanty has to be treated as a mid-range RB2.

Late last week, Fowler’s colleague, Kevin Seifert, reported that Mason is expected to return in Week 7 as well. Add him if he is available. Mason is not involved much as a receiver, but his expected rushing workload makes him a reliable FLEX with RB2 upside.

Charbonnet’s return from ACL surgery has been going well. He is currently practicing with his teammates, though the quick turnaround time for this week’s Thursday Night Football game against the Broncos is too short for Charbonnet to properly ramp up. The Seahawks need a reliable player in the backfield and Charbonnet has coach Mike Macdonald’s trust. He will likely get all he can handle whenever he retakes the field.

Gonzalez told ESPN’s Mike Reiss that his shoulder is feeling “good” after sitting out in Weeks 4-5 to let it heal. This is an important game for the Patriots (3-2), who currently sit second in the AFC East, one spot ahead of the Jets (2-3). Gonzalez has traveled around the formation, at times covering the slot this season. This week, he will likely be tasked with covering Garrett Wilson.

It’s overall a good update for Odeyingbo, even if the veteran defensive end will miss at least one week. The fact that IR was even mentioned does suggest it could be a multi-week absence for him. Odeyingbo has three sacks and two pass breakups this year.

The former second-team All-Pro safety left last week’s game against the Chargers with the injury. Hufanga has been one of the biggest havoc creators in the league this year with one forced fumble and two interceptions, one of which was returned for a touchdown. His absence will be a big blow to the Broncos’ defense, which is already without Patrick Surtain II, Jonathon Cooper, and potentially Riley Moss for their Week 6 matchup against the Seahawks.

Per Glenn, Mitchell remains week to week. This explains the lengthy absence for Mitchell, who hasn’t played since injuring his finger in practice ahead of Week 3. According to Glenn, Mitchell is moving his fingers around well, which is hopefully a sign that he will be back soon. With Omar Cooper Jr.'s practice window now open, Mitchell could return to a rather crowded receiver room once he is healthy.
