Redskins coach Jim Zorn wants to give Hunter Smith (groin) one more week to get healthy before deciding whether to put him on injured reserve.

Aidan Hutchinson hip-drop tackled Maye for a sack early in the first quarter. Maye limped off the field and made his way to the locker room shortly after going down. He was initially listed as questionable to return but has since been downgraded to out. A dreaded high-ankle sprain appears to be on the table right now. The good news is that the Patriots get their bye next week, which will give Maye some extra time to recover. Tommy DeVito will close out Week 10 under center.

Moses limped off the field in the first quarter and immediately left for the locker room. He was briefly listed as questionable to return but managed to get back on the field in the second quarter.

Things are going from bad to worse for the Pats. Drake Maye left the game with an ankle injury in the first quarter. Moses then followed him to the locker room a few minutes later. Both are questionable to return.

Maye’s ankle rolled while he was being sacked early in the first quarter. He initially appeared ready to play through it, but Maye walked to the locker room at the start of the Pats’ next drive. The fact that Maye was able to walk off under his own power, albeit with a slight limp, is at least a good sign. Tommy DeVitto is under center for the Pats.

Hutchinson jumped in the air to celebrate a sack in the first quarter. His right knee buckled when he landed and the star pass-rusher stayed on the field for a while. He was eventually able to walk off under his own power but headed straight into the locker room. Hutchinson would be a massive loss for a Detroit defense that hasn’t played particularly well this year.

Williams injured his shoulder during Thursday’s practice. The team then held him out of Friday’s session before listing him as questionable. It was likely a precautionary move as Williams is good to go for today’s game, which is great news for a 49ers offense that is very banged up otherwise.

Spears hasn’t played since Week 6 because of the knee issue. He practiced in full this week but was still listed as questionable on Friday. He should be good to go for pass-catching duties in a game that will likely see the Titans throw a lot. Spears is a low-ceiling FLEX play in PPR leagues this week.

Boston will likely go through a workout in the morning to determine his status, but he appears to be on the right side of questionable for now. He was held out of the Browns’ first two practices of the week before getting in a limited session on Friday. Barring a setback ahead of kickoff, Boston is back in the WR3 mix for Week 10.

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.

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.
