Lawson signed with the Cowboys two weeks ago. Per ESPN’s Todd Archer, they may opt to keep Lawson on the practice squad for the time being, but other teams will have a chance to sign him. Lawson has played in 74 games while making 31 starts and has 27 sacks to his name, along with 28 TFLs. At just 29 years old, it’s possible he finds another team immediately in need of his services and avoids hanging around on a practice squad.

He’ll miss at least the next four games. Taylor-Britt has played just 91 snaps for the Colts this year after coming over as a Lou Anarumo reclamation project. He has one sack, 13 tackles, and two passes defensed so far this year.

Seems there’s little doubt that Coker will play on Thursday night. He’ll likely be removed from the injury report on Wednesday. Even after last week’s fiasco he likely belongs in the WR2 ranks.

The Bears elected to have a practice Tuesday, as they prepare for a MNF matchup with the Seahawks, so they won’t have an injury report until Thursday. This isn’t exactly a strong sign that Monangai won’t make it back this week, but it also isn’t good news for managers that would like to see him active.

With both Saquon Barkley (back) and Dameon Pierce (undisclosed) shuttling off in the fourth quarter, it was practice squad elevation Mitchell helping to close out a loss to the Cowboys. It’s certainly possible that Mitchell will be involved in whatever happens next week given the two injuries ahead of him, making him an interesting waiver wire thought.

Likely was spotted limping at times during Week 7’s win over the Texans, which helps explain his subpar production. We’ll keep an eye on this one coming out of the bye, but we’re certainly not expecting anything serious here.

The first-year UDFA rushed for 166 yards on 23 carries in the preseason for the Chargers, adding one touchdown and one eight-yard reception. We’d be surprised if he got real run in this backfield but at least he has the bye week to acclimate.

Well that sorts out the Giants backfield for the short term. Devin Singletary will take over as the primary passing down back behind Cam Skattebo and should be a usable FLEX play going forward. Tracy will miss the next four weeks after going down with the hamstring injury in the second quarter of New York’s win over the Texans in Week 7. Schoen indicated this isn’t a season-ender for Tracy.

Schefter listed out DeForest Buckner, Grover Stewart, and Downs as players that could potentially be on the move as the Colts continue what from all outside appearances looks to be a fire sale. He thinks Buckner will be the next player on the move and likely go for less than Quenton Nelson. Downs certainly hasn’t impressed with his opportunity this season, but he’s a valuable receiver and Indianapolis didn’t exactly but him in an ideal scenario with Alec Pierce hurt and Keenan Allen playing alongside him while Daniel Jones struggles to regain his 2025 form.

Schefter said that if he had to guess today, he doesn’t think the Colts will part with Taylor. There are still a few weeks ahead of the trade deadline, and it’s certainly possible that a team bowls them over with an offer. This is going to remain a topic of conversation until the deadline passes. But it is worth noting that ownership believes in Taylor as a difference-maker.

The Bears had run out of elevations with him, so had to sign him to the roster to have him active for Week 8. Scott has played 46 special teams snaps and 0 offensive snaps so far and does not need to be rostered for fantasy purposes. It’s hard to not read this as bad news about Kyle Monangai’s health in the short term, but we’re trying.
