Etienne played just two of the Panthers' 54 offensive snaps and logged 70 kick-return yards in Sunday's 16-13 win over the Packers.

Etienne was not a part of the Panthers' offensive game plan in Week 9 and played behind Rico Dowdle and Chuba Hubbard, tying his fewest offensive snaps in a game this season. However, the rookie running back still contributed on special teams, returning three kicks for 70 yards. Through his first nine NFL games, Etienne has logged 21 touches for 101 yards and 464 total return yards across 117 total snaps (68 on special teams, 49 on offense). He's likely to play another depth role in Carolina's backfield in the Week 10 matchup against the Saints.

Coker caught his only target for nine yards in Sunday's 16-13 win over the Packers.

Coker operated as the Panthers' No. 3 wideout during the Week 9 win but was largely uninvolved, in part due to the poor weather conditions and quarterback Bryce Young throwing for just 102 yards. Since returning from injury in the Week 7 win over the Jets, the Holy Cross product has caught four of seven targets for 45 yards. Coker should have more opportunities to contribute heading into the Week 10 matchup against the Saints.

Sanders caught his lone target for five yards during Sunday's 16-13 win over the Packers.

The second-year tight end from Texas has struggled to settle in since returning from injury in the Week 7 win over the Jets, posting just four catches for 24 yards across 87 offensive snaps. Even so, he's expected to remain the Panthers' top pass-catching tight end heading into the Week 10 matchup against the Saints.

Tremble failed to catch his lone target in Sunday's 16-13 win over the Packers.

Although Tremble served as the Panthers' No. 1 tight end (29 snaps) and logged more offensive snaps than Ja'Tavion Sanders (28 snaps) in the Week 9 win, it didn't translate to production. Since Sanders returned from injury in the Week 7 win over the Jets, Tremble has caught just two of three targets for four yards across 104 offensive snaps. He's expected to remain a minor portion of Carolina's offensive game plan heading into the Week 10 matchup against the Saints.

Horn caught one of two targets for one yard and rushed once for seven yards during Sunday's 16-13 win over the Packers.

The 23-year-old played just 13 offensive snaps and operated as Carolina's No. 4 wideout in the Week 9 win. Through his first five NFL games, Horn has caught six of 10 targets for 66 yards and rushed seven times for 44 yards. He's likely to continue playing a depth role in the Panthers' receiving corps ahead of the Week 10 matchup against the Saints.

The Cardinals added Simon to their injury report and list him as questionable for Monday's game against the Cowboys due to an illness, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

Arizona will likely see how Simon is feeling closer to the game's 8:15 p.m. ET kickoff before deciding whether or not to make him active for the contest. A fourth-pick out of Ohio State, Simon is a depth linebacker who has played almost exclusively on special teams during his rookie season.

Lattimore (knee) is believed to have sustained a season-ending ACL tear during Sunday's 38-14 loss to the Seahawks, Ian Rapoport and Mike Garafolo of NFL Network report.

Lattimore is scheduled to undergo an MRI on Monday to confirm the injury, but if he's diagnosed with ligament damage to his knee, he would require surgery that would sideline him for the rest of the season and potentially affect his availability for the start of the 2026 campaign. A four-time Pro Bowler, Lattimore hasn't been in peak form in 2025, but he's an every-down player in an already suspect Washington defense that can ill afford to lose key contributors. Through nine appearances on the season, Lattimore has tallied 27 tackles (16 solo), seven pass breakups, one interception and one fumble recovery.

Mariota is slated to start at quarterback for the Commanders in Week 10 against the Lions with Jayden Daniels having sustaining a dislocated left elbow in Sunday's 38-14 loss to the Seahawks, John Keim of ESPN.com reports.

Mariota came on in relief with 7:39 remaining in the fourth quarter and handed off on all seven of his snaps as the Commanders ran out the clock in a blowout loss. Though a recovery timeline for Daniels won't be established until he undergoes an MRI on Monday, the injury to his non-throwing elbow appears likely to result in him landing on injured reserve, and it could cost him the rest of the season. Mariota had previously made three starts in place of Daniels this season. In those contests, Mariota completed 52 of 78 pass attempts (66.6 percent) for 576 yards (7.4 YPA), four touchdowns and three interceptions while adding 88 rushing yards and a touchdown on 16 carries.

Daniels sustained a dislocated left elbow in the fourth quarter of Sunday's 38-14 loss to the Seahawks and will be sidelined indefinitely, though the Commanders aren't yet certain whether he'll miss the rest of the season, John Keim of ESPN.com reports.

Though Washington was trailing by 31 points midway through the fourth quarter, Daniels remained in the game before suffering the gruesome injury to his non-throwing arm when he was sacked for the fourth time in the game at the Seahawks' four-yard line. His elbow bent backward on the tackle, and while head coach Dan Quinn didn't provide an immediate diagnosis for Daniels' injury following the game, early tests have apparently ruled out a fracture. The second-year quarterback is scheduled to undergo an MRI on Monday to confirm the diagnosis, after which a firmer timeline for his recovery should become clearer. At the very least, Daniels looks destined to miss the Commanders' Week 10 game versus the Lions, and a stint on injured reserve -- and a minimum four-game absence -- looms as a likely outcome. Marcus Mariota replaced Daniels late in Sunday's game and would once again be the next man up at quarterback for Washington, having already filled in when Daniels missed three games earlier this season due to knee and hamstring injuries.

McCaffrey was diagnosed with a fractured collarbone following his departure from Sunday's 38-14 loss to the Seahawks and is slated to be placed on injured reserve in the coming days, John Keim of ESPN.com reports.

McCaffrey sustained the injury during his 19-yard return on the game's opening kickoff and was quickly ruled out for the rest of the contest. The Commanders haven't provided an official timeline for McCaffrey's return or indicated whether or not he needs surgery, but the young wideout's pending move to IR means that he'll miss at least four games and won't be available again until Week 15 at the soonest. Even before going down with the injury, McCaffrey had handled a understated role in the Washington passing game. Through his nine appearances on the season, McCaffrey hadn't drawn more than three targets in any game, despite top wideout Terry McLaurin (quadriceps) having missed five of those contests.
