The former third-round pick played under Robert Saleh in New York for the past three years. Saleh was fired midway through the 2024 season and is now the 49ers’ defensive coordinator. Surratt knows his system well and is a high-volume player on special teams. He recorded 28 combined tackles and two TFLs in 2024.

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.

Per NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, this is believed to be a third torn ACL. Obviously it’s not good news that All, who missed a season-and-a-half the last time he damaged his knee, is dealing with another long-term knee injury. He’s in the third year of a four-year rookie contract but his NFL future looks to be in doubt.

Lynch in a Tuesday interview acknowledged Pineiro is “going through a rough patch” but committed to sticking with him for now. “We have a lot of belief in Eddie,” Lynch added. “He has had a tough run early this year, but we extended Eddie for his body of work with us but then throughout the history of his career.” Pineiro has missed three of his nine field goal tries on the season and four of his 25 extra point attempts. Pineiro, who made 96 percent of his field goal tries in 2025, will have at least a couple more games before the Niners brings in kicker competition.

With the Colts’ season all but over, the team could trade away a series of key player as they look toward a total tear down/rebuild scenario following the 2026 season. That includes Nelson, an eight-time Pro Bowler who now has a chance to compete for a title now that he’s out of Indianapolis. Nelson will join a Seattle offensive line that ranks 21st in pass blocking win rate and 27th in run blocking win rate. His addition should be a boon for Sam Darnold and the Seahawks’ pass catchers.
