Stewart had one total tackle, a QB hurry and an interception in Sunday's win over the Chargers.

Stewart caught a pop-fly deflected pass at the line for his first career interception. Stewart is an elite run stuffer, so this is a rare interception or sack (just 4.0 sacks the last three seasons).

Head coach Kevin Stefanski said Monday that Huntington has entered the league's concussion protocol, Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com reports.

Huntington was taken to the locker room during the first half of the Browns' 31-6 win over the Dolphins in Week 7 after taking a hit to the head and was diagnosed with a concussion after being evaluated by medical staff. He'll have to clear the league's five-step concussion protocol in order to be available to play, which puts him in jeopardy of missing Cleveland's Week 8 road clash against New England on Sunday.

Head coach Pete Carroll said Monday that Pola-Mao sustained an ankle injury during the Raiders' 31-0 loss to the Chiefs on Sunday, Ryan McFadden of ESPN.com reports.

Pola-Mao played 75 of 81 defensive snaps (92.6 percent) and finished Sunday's blowout loss with 10 tackles (eight solo). The severity of his ankle injury isn't clear, but the Raiders are on a bye for Week 8, which gives him additional time to recover and be available for Las Vegas' Week 9 clash against Jacksonville on Sunday, Nov. 2. Tristin McCollum would be the top candidate to start at safety alongside Jeremy Chinn if Pola-Mao were to miss time.

Egbuka (hamstring) is expected to play Monday night against the Lions, Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

The Bucs put Egbuka through a pregame workout routine, and the rookie wide receiver seemingly has received the green light to play Week 7. With Mike Evans (hamstring) also due back Monday night, Tampa Bay's wideout depth chart gets a major boost after Baker Mayfield willed the team to victory last Sunday without all of his top receivers. Egbuka can be trusted in fantasy lineups in what profiles as a projected shootout at Ford Field.

McCaffrey failed to secure either of his two targets during Washington's 44-22 loss to the Cowboys on Sunday. He did field eight kickoff returns, racking up a total of 209 return yards (long of 41).

McCaffrey wasn't able to take advantage of absences of Terry McLaurin (quadriceps), Noah Brown (groin/knee, IR) and Deebo Samuel (heel) versus Dallas, though the departure of quarterback Jayden Daniels (hamstring) early in the second half didn't help matters. He had scored in three of four contests leading up to the Week 7 loss, but versus the Cowboys all of rookie fourth-rounder Jaylin Lane, veteran receivers Chris Moore and Robbie Chosen and tight end Zach Ertz finished with more targets and yardage than McCaffrey, That will make him difficult to trust for fantasy purposes heading into a tough primetime matchup against the Chiefs on Monday, Oct. 27 in Week 8, especially if Daniels is unable to go and Marcus Mariota draws the start at QB.

Shipley caught one pass for seven yards in Sunday's 28-22 win over the Vikings.

Shipley was the second running back on the depth chart Sunday, seeing the field for eight offensive snaps compared to four for Tank Bigsby. Meanwhile, AJ Dillon was a healthy inactive. Unless lead back Saquon Barkley gets hurt, however, Bigsby nor any other running back on the roster will struggle to see enough volume to attain fantasy relevance.

Bigsby carried once for 11 yards and reeled in his lone target for minus-1 yard in Sunday's 28-22 win over the Vikings.

Bigsby had been strictly used on special teams by the Eagles after they acquired him from the Jaguars following Week 1, but he finally earned a small role in the offense in his sixth game with the team. He got involved early, rushing for a first down on the eighth play of the first drive, but his overall role was limited. He played just four offensive snaps, trailing Will Shipley (eight) for second among Eagles running backs behind lead option Saquon Barkley.

Haskins (hamstring) was listed as a non-participant on Monday's practice estimate.

Haskins suited up for Sunday's 38-24 loss to the Colts despite initially being listed as questionable for the game due to a chest injury, and he's now emerged from the contest managing a hamstring issue. Kimani Vidal logged 13 touches on offense versus three for Haskins against Indianapolis, but neither back got much done in an unusual matchup that saw Justin Herbert log a season-high 55 pass attempts. If Haskins is unable to get healthy on a short week in time to suit up for Thursday Night Football against the Vikings, expect Nyheim Hines to be elevated from the practice squad as the No. 2 option behind Vidal.

Coach Raheem Morris said Monday that Penix has a bone bruise in his foot/ankle area and is considered day-to-day, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.

It doesn't sound like an overly serious issue for the Falcons' quarterback, and it's unclear if it will keep Penix from playing next Sunday against the Dolphins. Penix didn't miss a snap in Sunday night's loss to the 49ers but appeared to pick up the injury in the fourth quarter. If Penix is unable to go against Miami, Kirk Cousins would get the start for Atlanta.

Coach Dan Quinn said Monday that Daniels' hamstring injury isn't considered significant and won't be a long-term issue, but the quarterback's status for next Monday night's game against the Chiefs is uncertain, Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports.

Daniels' MRI on Monday came back clean after he was injured on the opening drive of the second half of Sunday's loss to the Cowboys. He wanted to go back in the game against Dallas, but the score was already somewhat lopsided, so the Commanders kept him out and let Marcus Mariota play the bulk of the second half. If Daniels is unable to play against Kansas City, Mariota would likely draw the start.
