Huntley sustained what could be a turf-toe injury during Sunday's 36-10 loss at Buffalo, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Huntley took over the offense after Lamar Jackson injured his right thumb on the Ravens' first offensive snap of the game. Huntley himself lasted into the third quarter until he was knocked from the contest with a toe issue. Head coach Jesse Minter relayed to Ryan Mink of the team's official site afterward that Jackson is slated for thumb surgery and will be placed on IR, while Huntley now may be dealing with a multi-week health concern of his own. Huntley will undergo an MRI on Monday to determine the official diagnosis and potential prognosis, but if he also joins Jackson on the pine, undrafted rookie Joe Fagnano (undisclosed) likely will be under center for Baltimore this Thursday against the Jaguars and perhaps beyond that point.

Jones (hamstring) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's contest against the Chiefs, Parker Gabriel of The Denver Post reports.

Jones entered Sunday's matchup with a questionable tag after suffering a hamstring injury at practice during the week. Although the safety was ultimately able to play, it's possible that he tweaked the injury during the game, and he will now have to shift his sights to Week 9. In his absence, Taylor Rapp and Devon Key will operate as Denver's two primary safeties against Kansas City.

Fannin brought in 10 of 12 targets for 154 yards in the Browns' 27-6 loss to the Steelers on Sunday.

Fannin was one of the few bright spots for the Browns on either side of the ball in the ugly loss, setting new career highs in receptions, receiving yards and targets. Cleveland's gradual shift to a pass-centric approach as its deficit grew was a boon for Fannin's production, and the second-year tight end now has a combined 16-245-0 line on 21 targets over the last two games alone. Fannin will aim to carry over the elite caliber of play into a Week 9 road matchup against the Saints next Sunday.

McDuffie (back) is questionable to return to Sunday's contest against the Chargers, Stu Jackson of the Rams' official site reports.

McDuffie was spotted favoring his back after making a tackle late in the third quarter, and his status for the rest of the game is now up in the air. With Jaylen Watson (shoulder) already ruled out, Josh Wallace and Emmanuel Forbes are set to handle increased workload in the secondary.

Warren rushed 17 times for 143 yards and a touchdown and brought in one of two targets for no gain in the Steelers' 27-6 win over the Browns on Sunday. He also fumbled once but recovered.

Warren tied his single-game career high in rushing yards with Sunday's performance, which was partly fueled by a season-long 51-yard run. Warren now has back-to-back 100-yard efforts on the ground for the first time this season, and he snapped a brief two-game rushing TD drought Sunday with a one-yard run early in the third quarter that closed out the scoring for the afternoon. Warren is already up to 704 rushing yards on a career-best 5.9 yards per carry heading into a Week 9 road showdown against the Bengals on Sunday, Nov. 15 following a Week 8 bye.

Allgeier reeled off 147 yards and one touchdown on 11 carries and gathered in all five targets for 44 yards and one more TD during Sunday's 33-30 overtime win in Dallas.

Fellow RBs Jeremiyah Love (ankle) and Bam Knight (concussion) left in the second and third quarters, respectively, and were unable to return, leaving Allgeier as the only healthy and available backfield option the rest of the way. Allgeier didn't really get going until QB Gardner Minshew took over for Jacoby Brissett late in the third quarter, as the running back recorded a 63-yard touchdown run, another 52-yard carry and a five-yard TD grab on the next two drives to account for most of his output. Considering Love has been dealing with ankle issues for most of the season and already has missed two games, and Knight is subject to the protocol for head injuries, Allgeier may be in line for a boost in workload in the short term.

Watson (shoulder) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's contest against the Chargers, Adam Grosbard of The Orange County Register reports.

Watson will be forced to sit out the rest of Week 8 after sustaining a shoulder injury early in the second half. With Trent McDuffie (back) also banged up, the Rams are rather thin in the secondary versus the Chargers.

Tuten rushed 16 times for 104 yards and a touchdown and brought in both targets for 55 yards and another score in the Jaguars' 42-7 win over the Colts on Sunday.

Tuten looked refreshed coming out of the Week 7 bye, breaking out for a new single-game career-high rushing total. Tuten also recorded his third rushing touchdown of the season on a rumbling 39-yard run during the second quarter where he broke several tackles, and he added his third receiving score over the last two games with a 25-yard grab as time expired in the third quarter. Tuten is up to 4.5 yards per carry after averaging a season-best 6.5 yards per tote Sunday, and he's added six total touchdowns heading into a Week 9 road matchup against the Ravens on Thursday night.

Watson (shoulder) is questionable to return to Sunday's contest against the Chargers, Adam Grosbard of The Orange County Register reports.

Watson suffered a shoulder injury early in the second half, and his availability for the stretch run of the team's Week 8 matchup is now uncertain. In his absence, Emmanuel Forbes and Josh Wallace will likely stand to see an increase in workload at cornerback.

Taylor rushed eight times for 23 yards and brought in four of five targets for 24 yards in the Colts' 42-7 loss to the Jaguars on Sunday. He also lost a fumble.

Taylor opened the game in his usual starting role with trade rumors swirling around him, and the star running back ultimately finished with a wholly unremarkable performance. Taylor ultimately ceded plenty of snaps to backfield mates Seth McGowan and DJ Giddens, the likeliest heir-apparent candidates if Taylor is indeed moved to another team in coming days. Taylor had exceeded 90 rushing yards in back-to-back games and on five occasions overall heading into Week 8, so even if his Colts tenure finishes with Sunday's whimper, he'll have plenty to offer in a new destination.
