  • PIT Running Back #30
    Mike Tomlin said RB Jaylen Warren (hamstring) is “healthy enough.”
    He wouldn’t go as far as to say Warren was fully healthy, noting it would be a slippery slope to do so. Warren’s reps were seemingly limited in Week 1 as he totaled just four touches, two carries and two caches. Meanwhile, Arthur Smith alumni Cordarrelle Patterson ran the rock four times. Warren could be an exciting fantasy RB2 when up to full speed, but it’s impossible to count on that for Week 2. He will rank as an RB4 until his workload increases.
  • LV Defensive End #98
    Maxx Crosby reiterated his desire to remain with the team after the Raiders’ Week 5 loss to the Broncos.
    Crosby played through a high-ankle sprain in Week 5 and was responsible for two of the Raiders’ three sacks in the defeat. Crosby, who has spent his entire six-year career with the Raiders, said the team’s struggles are something he’s “been dealing with his whole career” seemingly downplaying any desire that may exist to play for a contender elsewhere. Crosby is under contract through 2026 and has totaled 17 tackles and five sacks on the young season.
  • SF Running Back #23
    49ers HC Kyle Shanahan said Christian McCaffrey (Achilles) won’t play in Week 6 against the Seahawks.
    This doesn’t come as much of a surprise after it was reported a few weeks ago that a November return is likely the earliest we would see McCaffrey back. Regardless, Shanahan will likely field questions on his RB1’s health until he returns, but we wouldn’t expect to see him for at least a few more weeks. Until then, Jordan Mason will continue handling the majority of the 49ers’ backfield touches, with Isaac Guerendo and Deebo Samuel also earning a few touches per game.
  • CIN Running Back #31
    NFL Network’s Mike Garafolo reports Zack Moss (ankle) “is believed to be okay” and his ankle injury “seems to be mostly a scare.”
    Chase Brown managers will have to work the voodoo doll a little harder next time. It’s possible that Moss misses some practice time this week with the injury, but as long as Moss is able to get going by Friday it’s likely he will remain in the driver’s seat in the Cincinnati committee. Moss managed just 52 total yards against the Ravens while dealing with the injury on Sunday.
  • FA Cornerback #21
    Colts waived CB Dallis Flowers.
    AKA the guy who laid out horizontally trying to stop Brian Thomas Jr.'s touchdown last week. Flowers was part of a Colts cornerback room that Chris Ballard defended heavily this offseason. It’s pretty clear that they don’t think he took a step forward. Flowers had been a backup who had played under 20 snaps in three of his four active games this year. The Colts will look for help on the waiver wire or off the street for the secondary.
  • IND Center #75
    Colts placed RG Will Fries (fractured tibia) on injured reserve.
    He’ll miss at least the next four weeks, though after being carted off with the gruesome injury it’s likely that he’ll miss the rest of the season. Fries is in the final year of his rookie deal and will likely be a reclamation project on a one-year deal next year, whether for the Colts or somebody else.
  • LV Wide Receiver #17
    Bleacher Reports’ Jordan Schultz reports, “The Raiders’ preference as an organization is to get a Davante Adams trade done ‘sooner rather than later.’”
    While the Raiders hope to work out an Adams trade soon, Schultz also notes that they “aren’t going to do just any deal” and prefer not to take on any remaining money on Adams’ current contract. The remaining money on Adams’ contract could hold up a potential trade for some teams — specifically the Saints, who have spent the last several years navigating suboptimal cap situations. We’ll see what materializes in the coming days, but it feels like a trade could be coming any day, now.
  • CLE Tight End #85
    David Njoku will undergo and MRI after injuring his knee in the Browns’ Week 5 loss to the Commanders.
    The hits keep coming for Njoku, who had been sidelined for the last three weeks with an ankle injury. In his first game back, the veteran tight end played on 25 snaps before suffering a knee injury that could see him miss additional time. In addition to Njoku, head coach Kevin Stefanski said cornerback Denzel Ward (hamstring) and center Ethan Pocic (knee) will also have MRIs.
  • SF Defensive End #94
    Bleacher Report’s Jordan Schultz reports 49ers DE Yetur Gross-Matos underwent knee surgery and is expected to miss 4-8 weeks.
    Gross-Matos suffered a knee injury the team’s Week 4 win over the Patriots and did not suit up in Week 5 against the Cardinals. The veteran pass rusher has played in three games for the Nines this season, totaling just one tackle while failing to record a sack. Depending on how his recovery goes, Gross-Matos could return anytime between early-November to early-December.
  • TEN Quarterback #8
    Titans HC Brian Callahan said Will Levis’ shoulder is “improving” and that he should practice later this week.
    Levis suffered his shoulder injury in the Titans’ Week 4 win over the Dolphins and did not return to the field. Callahan said he is better now than he was at the end of the game, and with additional time to recover thanks to the Week 5 bye, it’s possible he’ll suit up to play in Week 6 against the Colts. Levis won’t practice on Monday, but the team’s first injury report isn’t due until Wednesday. We’ll see how things look in a few days, but if Levis is unable to go, it will be Mason Rudolph making his first start of 2024.
  • CIN Cornerback #23
    NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reports the Bengals fear CB Dax Hill suffered a torn ACL in Week 5’s loss to the Ravens.
    Hill exited Sunday’s game against the Ravens and did not return to the field. The third-year corner had his leg twisted up while attempting to make a cut and was ruled out shortly after leaving the field. The team will take a closer look to confirm, but this would be a brutal loss for a secondary that’s allowed 350-plus passing yards in each of its last three games.
