No Hope further weakens the Titans’ once potent run defense and should be good news for Texans TE Owen Daniels in the passing game. Calvin Lowry, who started at free safety earlier this season, will fill in on Sunday.

49ers coach Kyle Shanahan said Robinson will be limited at today’s practice. This gives him a chance to play in Week 9 against the Raiders. Wide receiver-needy fantasy managers can consider adding him, though his place in the target pecking order is uncertain with Mike Evans (Achilles) recovering.

Bosa could end up being listed with a knee issue after battling tendinitis earlier this year, but we do not yet have the official injury report. Bosa’s post-bye return to practice tentatively puts him on track to face the Raiders in Week 9.

Samuel remains sidelined by his Week 5 hamstring strain. He still has a chance to resume practicing in time to face the Raiders this weekend, but it would have been nice to see him take the field today. The 49ers were on bye in Week 8.

49ers coach Kyle Shanahan said more than a week ago that McCaffrey has a “mild” hamstring strain. Hamstring strains can be finicky. If Kaelon Black is available, add him immediately. McCaffrey still has a chance to play in Week 9 against the Raiders’ soft run defense, but he is ever so slightly in the questionable column at this time.

Per head coach DeMeco Ryans, Montgomery remains week-to-week. He did not practice today and we assume he won’t get on the field in any capacity this week. Woody Marks will make another start. Facing a down-horrific Chargers squad, Marks should finally get going after two underwhelming starts in Montgomery’s absence. He is a locked-in RB2 for Week 9.

We had hoped to see Evans practice today, following the 49ers’ Week 8 bye, but evidently, he needs more time to rest and recover. The 49ers’ No. 1 wide receiver should currently be viewed as questionable to play in Week 9 against the Raiders. The 49ers have playoff aspirations, so the team could choose to hold him out this week.

The Jaguars keep many of their injured players limited all week, Meyers included. The move was likely just a conservative measure, given the short practice week. The Jaguars will likely take a run-heavy approach against a Ravens team playing with their QB3. Meyers is just a FLEX, given the expected game script.

Walker was added to the Jaguars’ injury report on Tuesday, apparently having suffered a ribs injury in practice. The Jaguars’ No. 2 edge rusher might not be needed to win an expectedly lopsided affair, but having him on the field will certainly be helpful for the Jaguars D/ST.

Barkley played through the pair of injuries last week, turning 13 carries into 30 yards in a score. While this could just be maintenance for a banged-up veteran, the Eagles are waving the white flag on 2026 by starting Joe Milton at quarterback. If they’re worried about making Barkley’s injuries worse, the team may simply shut him down for the year at some point. Elijah Mitchell is the next man up for Philly if Barkley doesn’t play in Week 9.

Rodriguez remained limited all week, as did many Jaguars on the Week 9 injury report. It seems likely that the team simply took a conservative approach to their Thursday Night Football preparation. Rodriguez could end up being the Jaguars’ starter this week, with Bhayshul Tuten (foot/ankle) labeled a game-time decision after failing to practice all week. Rodriguez warrants RB2 treatment if this is the case. Add him everywhere.
