Umanmielen (back) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Jets, Kassidy Hill of the Panthers' official site stated on X.

Umanmielen registered a quarterback hit on Justin Fields before leaving in the second quarter after sustaining a back injury. The 23-year-old strongside linebacker was a depth piece playing behind linebacker D.J. Wonnum.

Higbee had three receptions on six targets for 19 yards in Sunday's 35-7 win over Jacksonville.

Higbee wound up finishing second in team targets behind WR Davante Adams due to Puka Nacua (ankle) sitting out the overseas contest in London. That's where the good news ends, as rookie TE Terrance Ferguson cashed in a 31-yard touchdown with his only reception Sunday. Higbee will carry a 13-121-1 receiving line into the Rams' upcoming bye week, numbers that should keep him off the fantasy radar when the team resumes play against the Saints on Nov. 2.

Huntington is being evaluated for a possible concussion and is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Dolphins.

Huntington was taken to the locker room after visiting the blue medical tent, where he'll be evaluated to determine whether he can return to Sunday's game. With Mike Hall (knee) inactive, Shelby Harris will be the Browns' lone depth option at defensive tackle if Huntington is not cleared to return.

Corum (ankle) rushed 12 times for 37 yards and caught his lone target for six yards in Sunday's 35-7 win over the Jaguars.

Corum was able to work back from an ankle injury that limited him during the practice week in order to suit up for Sunday's overseas tilt in London. The 24-year-old wound up handling a season-high 12 carries, matching starter Kyren Williams (12-54-0) in a game dominated by Los Angeles' passing attack. It is important to note that half of Corum's carries came late in the fourth quarter with the game well out of reach, so this was unlikely a changing of the guard in the Rams' backfield. The 2024 third-round pick was averaging 4.8 rushing attempts per game prior to the Week 7 outburst, so managers should keep expectations in check coming out of the Rams' upcoming bye week.

Trotter (ankle) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Vikings.

Trotter appeared to suffer an ankle injury in the first half of Sunday's game and is being evaluated to determine if he can return. The 22-year-old was a depth piece on the defense, playing behind linebackers Jihaad Campbell and Zack Baun.

Jurgens (knee) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Vikings.

Jurgens went to the medical tent in the first quarter, where medical staff will evaluate his knee injury to determine whether he will return to Sunday's game. Brett Toth has taken over at center in Jurgens' absence.

Williams took 12 carries for 54 yards and caught two of three targets for 11 yards in Sunday's 35-7 overseas win over Jacksonville.

Williams' managers suffered a casual stat line in Sunday's one-sided affair after the Rams' passing attack accounted for all five of the team's trips to the end zone in London. The veteran starter's even carry split with Blake Corum (12-37-0) can also be attributed to an unfavorable game script, with six of the backup's carries essentially coming in garbage time. Williams has been a reliable starter in fantasy in 2025, generating 638 yards from scrimmage and five total touchdowns through seven starts. A lack of scoring is the only thing holding the 24-year-old back from his first-round projections, as he is currently on pace to score 12 touchdowns after averaging 15.5 over his last two standout seasons. Williams will be looking to hit pay dirt when the Rams come out of the bye to face the Saints in Week 9.

Miller was forced out of Sunday's game against the Bears with a knee injury.

Before his exit, Miller carried once for seven yards. In his absence, Devin Neal is on hand to back up starting RB Alvin Kamara.

Simmons (hamstring) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Patriots, Doug Kyed of the Boston Herald reports.

Simmons appeared to tweak his left hamstring while tackling Rhamondre Stevenson in the first quarter. Simmons will be evaluated by trainers to determine whether he can return, and the Titans will turn to T'Vondre Sweat and James Lynch to pick up the slack on the defensive line.

Thomas (shoulder) caught three of seven targets for 31 yards in Sunday's 35-7 loss to the Rams.

Despite the fact that the Jaguars were playing from behind pretty much the entire game, Thomas finished third on the team in targets behind Travis Hunter (8-101-1 on 14 targets) and Parker Washington (4-52-0 on 10 targets). Thomas checked in and out of the lineup in the second half due to what seemed to be multiple nagging injuries, and he was eventually removed completely due to an apparent right shoulder issue late in the fourth quarter. The second-year wideout will have the Jaguars' Week 8 bye to get healthy, but through seven games he sports a disappointing 27-365-1 line on 55 targets.
