Tonyan was a relatively surprising cut by the Vikings on Tuesday, but they’re able to keep the 30-year-old tight end in the organization. He could be active on game days especially with TJ Hockenson (knee) unavailable, but his days of fantasy significance are likely over.

It’s an inconceivable development, as the Pats already lost LG Alijah Vera-Tucker (hamstring) and RT Morgan Moses (ankle) earlier on Sunday. Brown’s injury appeared to be very, very serious. Walter Rouse, the Pats’ last healthy reserve OL, will finish the game in Brown’s place.

Moses went down early, but the Patriots waited until midway through the second half to rule him out. The move comes after LG Alijah Vera-Tucker was ruled out earlier with a hamstring issue. Not ideal, to put it mildly. Rookie first-rounder Caleb Lomu is finishing the game in Moses’ place.

It was an ugly scene that saw the game paused for nearly fifteen minutes while medics tended to the rookie linebacker after he hit his head during a tackle attempt. It was unclear whether Daniels was able to move his extremities before exiting the field. We would expect Daniels to miss significant time.

It’s been a disastrous injury afternoon for the Pats, who have had 2-3 offensive linemen shuffling in and out of the game vs. Gang Green. Free agent addition Vera-Tucker has been off to a decent enough start this season but is mostly providing replacement-level snaps. Matt Pryor has been the next man up at left guard.

The Raiders didn’t have any players listed as questionable entering this one. Hemingway, who is dealing with a concussion, was ruled out before the weekend and will look to return in Week 7 against the Rams if he can clear concussion protocol.

Moore was considered legitimately questionable entering the weekend after logging only one practice. He will now miss a second straight game with the shoulder injury he suffered in Week 4, paving the way for Keon Coleman to again see significant snaps. While Moore is out, Josh Palmer, who was questionable with his own shoulder injury, is active. The Bills declared DT Ed Oliver, LB Mike Danna, and OG Ar’ma Reed-Adams inactive for Sunday’s game.

McDuffie injured his groin during Thursday’s practice and was unable to participate on Friday. Losing their top cornerback may not cost them the game, but it certainly makes it easier for Cardinals pass catchers to produce fantasy points. The Rams also activated OL Keagan Trost from injured reserve and promoted CB Cam Lampkin from the practice squad.
