Gabe Davis Gabe Davis Getting closer to contributing
Wed, Nov 5, 2025, 12:30 PM
Bills head coach Sean McDermott said Wednesday that Davis is "getting close" to suiting up for game action but that the team is still not putting a timeline on his return, Joe Buscaglia of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Davis inked with Buffalo's practice squad early September but spent most of the season to date sidelined with a knee injury. However, he came off the practice-squad injured list in late October and is now ramping up his activity level. While the veteran wideout will likely remain sidelined Sunday versus Miami, expect Davis to contribute on offense for Buffalo at some stage this season. |

Kayshon Boutte Kayshon Boutte Logging a 'DNP' Wednesday
Wed, Nov 5, 2025, 12:25 PM
Boutte (hamstring) won't practice Wednesday, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site reports.
Analysis: With a 'DNP' to start the week, Boutte's status for Sunday's game against the Buccaneers remains cloudy. If he ends up limited or out in Week 10, Kyle Williams would likely see added snaps, with Stefon Diggs, DeMario Douglas and Mack Hollins available to handle targets that might otherwise go to Boutte. |

Rhamondre Stevenson Rhamondre Stevenson Not slated to practice Wednesday
Wed, Nov 5, 2025, 12:20 PM
Stevenson (toe) won't practice Wednesday, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site reports.
Analysis: Stevenson, who was inactive for the Patriots' Week 9 win over the Falcons, has two more chances to practice before injury designations are assigned for Sunday's game against the Buccaneers. In his absence versus Atlanta, TreVeyon Henderson started and logged a 75 percent snap share, en route to carrying 14 times and being targeted six times, while Terrell Jennings was on the field for 25 percent of the team's snaps on offense, rushing 11 times and recording one target. |

Hunter Long Hunter Long Sits out practice Wednesday
Wed, Nov 5, 2025, 12:12 PM
Long (hip/knee) is not participating in the early portion of Wednesday's practice open to the media, Michael DiRocco of ESPN.comreports.
Analysis: Long remains positioned as Jacksonville's incumbent top tight end with Brenton Strange (quadriceps) not expected to come off IR until Week 11 at the earliest. However, due to a tandem of injuries Long's status now also appears uncertain for Sunday's road matchup against the Texans. He briefly exited Jacksonville's narrow win over the Raiders in Week 9 as a result of his hip and knee injuries, but managed to retake the field and finish with a 66 percent snap share on offense. |

Brian Thomas Brian Thomas Not seen at practice Wednesday
Wed, Nov 5, 2025, 12:07 PM
Thomas (left ankle/shoulder) wasn't spotted at practice Wednesday, Ryan O'Halloran of The Florida Times-Union reports.
Analysis: Thomas, who had been managing a shoulder issue, is now dealing with what Adam Schefter of ESPN describes as a low-grade high ankle sprain. Per Schefter, the wideout has a chance to play Sunday against the Texans, but Wednesday's absence now gives Thomas two more opportunities to practice before the Jaguars' Week 10 injury designations are assigned. With Thomas banged up, Travis Hunter (knee) on IR, Dyami Brown having sustained a concussion this past Sunday, and Tim Patrick (groin) also injured, the Jaguars' WR depth is currently taxed, a situation the team addressed by trading for Jakobi Meyers on Tuesday. |

Joshua Palmer Joshua Palmer Remains limited at practice
Wed, Nov 5, 2025, 11:25 AM
Palmer (knee/ankle) will be limited at practice Wednesday, Maddy Glab of the Bills' official site reports.
Analysis: Palmer, who last suited up in Week 6, was also limited this past Thursday and Friday, with the wideout now having two more chances to upgrade his participation level ahead of Sunday's game against the Dolphins. If Palmer ends up limited or remains sidelined this weekend, Tyrell Shavers, Curtis Samuel and Elijah Moore would be next in line for WR snaps behind Keon Coleman and Khalil Shakir. |

James Cook James Cook Not practicing Wednesday
Wed, Nov 5, 2025, 11:18 AM
Cook (ankle/foot) won't practice Wednesday, Maddy Glab of the Bills' official site reports.
Analysis: Per Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com, coach Sean McDermott noted the injury that will sidelined Cook Wednesday popped up during this past Sunday's win over the Chiefs, while adding that the running back has been sore the last couple days. Cook thus has two more chances to practice ahead of this weekend's game against the Dolphins, but if he's limited or out in Week 10, added snaps would be available for Ty Johnson and Ray Davis. |

Shedeur Sanders Shedeur Sanders Limited Wednesday
Wed, Nov 5, 2025, 11:08 AM
Sanders (back) will practice in a limited fashion Wednesday, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
Analysis: Sanders has been dealing with back tightness over the past two weeks, so Wednesday's limited session comes as no surprise. Head coach Kevin Stefanski noted that the Browns will monitor the Colorado product over the next couple of days to determine whether he can operate as the team's No. 2 quarterback in the Week 10 matchup against the Jets. If Sanders is inactive, Bailey Zappe is likely to back up Dillon Gabriel. |

Tre Tucker Tre Tucker New No. 1 on depth chart in Vegas
Wed, Nov 5, 2025, 11:06 AM
Tucker is the top receiver left on the Raiders' depth chart after Las Vegas traded Jakobi Meyers to Jacksonville on Tuesday, Ryan McFadden of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Meyers had been a focal point in the Raiders passing attack while appearing in seven of the first eight games, commanding 20.7 percent of the team's overall targets and registering 352 yards on 33 catches. Though Meyers' departure leaves tight end Brock Bowers as the clear No. 1 option in the passing game, Tucker and Las Vegas' other receivers should also benefit from at least slight bumps in opportunity. In the lone game Meyers missed prior to being traded -- a blowout loss to the Chiefs in Week 7 -- starting quarterback Geno Smith attempted just 16 passes while Kansas City dominated the time of possession, but Tucker was targeted on six of those throws (37.5 percent share). It's worth noting, however, that Bowers also missed that game while recovering from a PCL injury. |

Ryan Flournoy Ryan Flournoy Scores first career touchdown
Wed, Nov 5, 2025, 10:38 AM
Flournoy caught both of his targets for 12 yards and a touchdown in Monday's 27-17 loss to the Cardinals.
Analysis: Flournoy's touchdown was his first of the season and the first of his career. The second-year wideout played 45 of the Cowboys' 67 offensive snaps, operating as the No. 3 wide receiver behind both CeeDee Lamb (59) and George Pickens (61). Though Flournoy's 69 percent snap share matched a season high, his target share still left much to be desired. Since Lamb returned to action in Week 7, the 26-year-old Flournoy has failed to see more than two targets in a contest. With such limited usage, the Southeast Missouri State product should remain off the fantasy radar as Dallas heads into their Week 10 bye. Next up for the Cowboys is a road matchup against the Raiders in Week 11. |

Isaiah Bond Isaiah Bond Misses practice with foot injury
Wed, Nov 5, 2025, 10:04 AM
Bond (foot) is not slated to practice Wednesday, Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Bond sustained a foot injury during Cleveland's loss to the Patriots in Week 8 and is still not back to full health after the Browns' bye week. He'll have two more chances to officially get back on the practice field ahead of Sunday's road matchup against the Jets. When asked about Bond's status for Week 10, head coach Kevin Stefanski said "we'll see how it goes the next couple days," per Oyefusi. Cedric Tillman (hamstring) had his 21-day practice window opened Monday, and when he returns to the field Bond will figure to drop down to No. 3 on the wide receiver depth chart. |

Chris Godwin Chris Godwin Sitting out practice
Wed, Nov 5, 2025, 9:58 AM
Godwin (lower leg) is not expected to participate in Wednesday's practice, Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
Analysis: Godwin remains sidelined at practice despite Tampa Bay having had the benefit of a Week 9 bye. Head coach Todd Bowles said prior to the bye that Godwin is 'week-to-week,' though he confirmed that the veteran wideout's fibula injury has no danger of being season-ending. Still, Godwin may be trending in the wrong direction for Sunday's matchup against the Patriots, in which case wideouts Sterling Shepard, Tez Johnson, Ryan Miller and Kameron Johnson, plus tight end Cade Otton, will be in line to handle increased receiving work behind rookie standout Emeka Egbuka. |

Bucky Irving Bucky Irving Not in line to practice
Wed, Nov 5, 2025, 9:55 AM
Irving (foot/shoulder) is not expected to participate in Wednesday's practice, Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
Analysis: Irving evidently remains in the rehab phase of his recovery from foot and shoulder injuries that have kept him sidelined since Week 4, despite the fact that the Buccaneers are coming off a bye. If he's unable to gain clearance for Sunday's home matchup against the Patriots, Tampa Bay will proceed with a familiar backfield deployment that features Rachaad White and Sean Tucker as its lead options. Chris Godwin (lower leg) is also expected to miss Wednesday's practice. |

KaVontae Turpin KaVontae Turpin Gains 13 total yards on offense
Wed, Nov 5, 2025, 8:28 AM
Turpin caught two of three targets for 10 yards and rushed once for three yards in Monday's 27-17 loss to the Cardinals. He added 151 kickoff return yards and six punt return yards.
Analysis: Turpin continued to have a minimal impact on offense Monday, doing most of his damage on kickoff returns. The fourth-year wideout is not involved enough in the Cowboys' offensive plans to garner much fantasy attention, but with Monday's performance on special teams, the TCU product is now fourth in the NFL with 722 kickoff return yards. Turpin will remain extremely difficult to trust for fantasy purposes as the Cowboys head into their Week 10 bye before a matchup against the Raiders in Week 11. |

Jalen Tolbert Jalen Tolbert Not targeted in loss
Wed, Nov 5, 2025, 8:11 AM
Tolbert failed to record a single target in Monday's 27-17 loss to the Cardinals.
Analysis: Tolbert was a complete nonfactor in Monday's loss to Arizona. The fourth-year wideout played just seven of the Cowboys' 67 offensive snaps in the contest, the least of any wide receiver who saw the field and his lowest snap total of the season. Tolbert has had a minimal role in the Cowboys offense, as he is buried on the depth chart and has seen just 24 targets through nine games. The 26-year-old should remain far off the fantasy radar as the Cowboys head into their Week 10 bye before a matchup against the Raiders in Week 11. |

Noah Fant Noah Fant Finds end zone in loss
Wed, Nov 5, 2025, 6:30 AM
Fant caught two of three targets for 28 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 47-42 loss to the Bears.
Analysis: Fant played 31 of the Bengals' 68 offensive snaps Sunday, tied with fellow tight end Drew Sample. The veteran was targeted three times for the second straight week, and his touchdown marked his third trip to the end zone this season. With wide receivers Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins commanding most of the target share in Cincinnati's offense, Fant continues to profile as a touchdown-dependent option at the tight end position. The 27-year-old will look to build off his latest performance when the Bengals come out of their Week 10 bye to face the Steelers in Week 11. |

Michael Carter Michael Carter Reverts to practice squad
Tue, Nov 4, 2025, 7:25 PM
Carter reverted to the Cardinals' practice squad Tuesday, per the NFL's transaction log.
Analysis: Despite being elevated from the practice squad ahead of Monday's game against the Cowboys, Carter did not play a single snap as Bam Knight and Emari Demercado served as the Cardinals' two running backs during the 27-17 victory. It was Carter's third elevation to the active roster, which means he would have to be signed to the 53-man roster in order for play for the Cardinals for the rest of the season. However, there may not be much motivation for Arizona to add Carter to the active roster if Trey Benson (knee) is close to returning from injured reserve. |

Michael Woods Michael Woods Joins Packers
Tue, Nov 4, 2025, 7:05 PM
The Packers signed Woods to the practice squad Tuesday.
Analysis: Woods was last with the Browns for a short period during training camp but was ultimately waived from injured reserve. He has 12 career receptions across 17 games since entering the NFL in 2022, but he faces a long path to consistently being on the active roster in Green Bay. |

Kristian Wilkerson Kristian Wilkerson Let go by Buffalo
Tue, Nov 4, 2025, 6:59 PM
The Bills cut Wilkerson from the practice squad Tuesday, Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Wilkerson joined the Bills' practice squad in late August after failing to make the 53-man roster at the end of training camp. He was not elevated to the active roster through the Bills' first eight games and will now look to join a team in need of depth at wide receiver. He has appeared in nine regular-season games since entering the league in May of 2020 as an undrafted free agent. |

Josiah Deguara Josiah Deguara Getting released
Tue, Nov 4, 2025, 6:58 PM
Arizona released Deguara on Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Analysis: Deguara has played in three games for the Cardinals this season, logging a total of 11 offensive snaps and 23 special teams snaps. Now he's becoming a free agent and will start looking for his next chance with another squad. |
