He apparently won’t be placed on injured reserve just yet. A 2011 third-round pick out of USC, Wright was coming on with a big training camp before going down in Week 1. The Chargers will be thin behind Quentin Jammer, Antoine Cason, and Marcus Gilchrist going forward. They also cut CB Greg Gatson on Monday.

Earlier this season, the Packers thought that Musgrave had a chance to return. Unfortunately, it appears as though that is no longer the case. The Athletic’s Matt Schneidman believes Musgrave’s “tenure with the Packers is all but over.”

Schneidman believes it is “not possible” to sign Lloyd to an extension after the 2027 season because of the young running back’s poor play. Lloyd is still trying to beat defenders around the edge with speed, rather than running north-south when he needs to. Although the injuries are mostly behind him, he has failed to live up to preseason expectations. Lloyd does not need to be rostered in 12-team formats at this time.

The Jets made it clear they were not moving Wilson early in the process, so we can’t imagine trade talks between them and either team made it very far. Cimini notes that the Jets could revisit a Wilson trade in the offseason. Wilson told reporters earlier this year that he loves it in New York, but he loves winning more. The Jets haven’t done much of that since Wilson was drafted. This will be a storyline to watch in the offseason, though we suspect he’ll remain in New York for the forseeable future.

Arians detailed myriad health issues that he dealt with in his final season as the Bucs’ head coach. He tore his Achilles and eventually injured his back. Arians was also monitoring an aneurysm in his heart at the time. He stepped away from coaching after the 2021 season but remained with the Bucs in an advisory role for some time. Arians won 13 games in his final season as a head coach and took home the Lombardi Trophy in his penultimate season. Now 74 years old, Arians wouldn’t be the long-term answer for a team, but he could be an option for a team in a win-now window. He later stated that he would consider returning to the Bucs and is only interested in a head-coaching role.

Iosivas will practice today for the first time since injuring his thumb in Week 2. The Bengals have 21 days to officially activate him from injured reserve. He will likely reclaim his No. 3 role once healthy, though we don’t expect much fantasy value to come of it.

The team added Riley Patterson to their active roster yesterday, but both kickers will likely have a chance to earn the job in practice this week. We aren’t expecting great fantasy numbers from either kicker with Lamar Jackson no longer fueling the offense.

The move, or lack thereof, was announced by Denver around midnight, and Rapoport later gave the reasoning. Henley has been playing through a knee issue for multiple weeks, though he has also dealt with other injuries that could have caused the Broncos to back out. Denver originally agreed to give fourth- and fifth-round picks to acquire Henley. He will now return to the Chargers. As Rapoport points out, the 0-8 Chargers now officially made zero trades ahead of the deadline.

Lenoir and Renardo Green (back) were among the two 49ers cornerbacks not practicing on Wednesday. Fellow cornerback Upton Stout (shoulder/neck) was a limited participant. With the slew of secondary injuries, the Cowboys wideouts will have an easier chance at chunk gains against San Francisco for Week 10.

Williams missed last week due to a stinger and continues to be sidelined. He will need to practice in some fashion to have a chance at playing in Week 10 against the Raiders.

Shaheed has missed the last two weeks with a knee injury, but he was able to practice in full to open Week 10. A full practice participation is a good sign we’ll see Shaheed on the field for Week 10 against the Raiders. He has been splitting WR2 opportunities with Cooper Kupp this year and belongs on fantasy benches until further notice.
