The Colts are fielding trade offers for Taylor, and while the asking price currently appears to be "too high," a deal seems likely to happen, per NFL reporter Jordan Schultz.

Adam Schefter of ESPN and Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reported Saturday morning that the Colts are willing to trade Taylor, but Schultz's report includes a new wrinkle, namely that a trade is more likely than not to occur. The Vikings, Giants, Broncos, Bengals and Packers are among the teams mentioned by Schultz that have checked in with Indianapolis regarding the seventh-year pro, who has looked like his usual dynamic self this season with 765 yards from scrimmage and eight rushing TDs on 157 touches in seven contests.

Barton is battling through an illness but is expected to be active for Sunday's game against the Falcons, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

Barton fell under the weather over the weekend, but the illness is not considered severe enough for the 2024 first-rounder to miss Sunday's game. He has started at center in each of the Buccaneers' first seven games of the regular season.

Randall (neck) wasn't activated from injured reserve Saturday and won't be available for Sunday's game against the Bills, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.

Randall was placed on injured reserve to open the regular season due to a neck injury. He was cleared to return to practice Wednesday and logged three consecutive full sessions, but the Ravens will wait at least one more week before bringing him back from IR. The rookie fifth-round running back's next opportunity to make his NFL debut will arrive Thursday against the Jaguars.

The Bills are optimistic that Kincaid (chest), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Ravens, will be able to play, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.

Citing a source familiar with Kincaid's situation, Fowler relays that "it would be a surprise" if the tight end didn't play Sunday, after he was listed as a limited participant in all three practices this week. Like Kincaid, wideout DJ Moore (shoulder) is listed as questionable but expected to play, so Buffalo appears to be tracking toward having all of its key pass catchers available for the first time since Week 4. Official word on the statuses of Kincaid and Moore will arrive when the Bills post their inactive list 90 minutes prior to Sunday's 1 p.m. ET kickoff.

Moore (shoulder) remains listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Ravens but is expected to play, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Moore had missed the Bills' last two games due to an AC joint sprain in his shoulder, but he appears to be in a better spot on the health front coming out of a Week 7 bye. He was still a limited participant in practice throughout the week, but despite carrying a designation into Sunday, he appears to have demonstrated enough progress in his recovery from the shoulder issue to suit up against Baltimore. Moore will be officially cleared to play when Buffalo releases its inactive list 90 minutes prior to the 1 p.m. ET kickoff.

The Rams are optimistic that Garrett (knee) will be able to return to practice in Week 9, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Garrett hasn't practiced since aggravating a left knee injury in the Rams' season-opening loss to the 49ers in Australia and then undergoing arthroscopic surgery. Though head coach Sean McVay has been non-committal on a potential target date for Garrett's return, the star edge rusher will take a notable step toward playing once the Rams officially open his 21-day practice window. Even if he's back on the field for the start of Week 9 prep, Garrett is far from a lock to play next Sunday in Washington versus the Commanders, as the reigning NFL Defensive Player of the Year may need more than three practices to get himself back in playing condition following a seven-week layoff from action.

Hall (quadriceps), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Raiders, isn't expected to play, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Though Hall was able to practice in a limited fashion from Wednesday through Friday, the Jets presumably want to see him log a full session before clearing him for game action. Per Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com, the Jets are "hoping for next week" for Hall's return, so expect him to be officially ruled out for a fifth consecutive contest when the team releases its inactive list 90 minutes prior to Sunday's 1 p.m. ET kickoff. Braelon Allen is slated to make another start in place of the banged-up Hall.

Burks (foot), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Eagles, is expected to play, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Burks sustained the foot injury during the Commanders' previous game Oct. 19 against the 49ers and doesn't appear to be back to 100 percent health, even with the benefit of a Week 7 bye. The wideout managed just two limited practice sessions this week en route to taking a designation into the weekend, but he looks to have shown enough to put himself on a path to play. Confirmation on Burks' status will arrive when Washington posts its inactive list 90 minutes prior to Sunday's 8:20 p.m. ET kickoff, and assuming he's cleared to play, the 26-year-old could be in line for extra opportunities in the passing game after top wideout Terry McLaurin (knee) went down with a season-ending injury against San Francisco.

Gainwell (hip) is in line to play in Sunday's game against the Falcons, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN reports.

After missing a portion of last Sunday's win at Carolina due to a hip injury, Gainwell began Week 8 prep with a DNP on Wednesday, but he followed it up with a limited session Thursday and full practice Friday before the Buccaneers tagged him with a questionable designation. Tampa Bay has a 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff on tap, so Gainwell's status will receive clarity about 90 minutes before that.

The Eagles aren't expected to move Barkley ahead of the Nov. 10 trade deadline, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.

Philadelphia's roster has been ravaged by injuries this season, and Barkley himself hasn't avoided health concerns, with two contests where he's played above 70 percent of snaps, three appearances in which he made early exits and two missed games to date. He thus has been capped to just 49 touches for 261 yards from scrimmage and one rushing touchdown, but general manager Howie Roseman won't consider trading Barkley ahead of the NFL's trade deadline. As for Barkley's Week 8 prospects, he doesn't have a designation for Sunday night's game at Washington and has only Jaydon Blue and Elijah Mitchell available behind him, so a workhorse role could be in the cards.
