Abrams-Draine (ankle) is questionable to return to Sunday's contest versus the Chiefs, Parker Gabriel of The Denver Post reports.

Abrams-Draine picked up an ankle injury late in the first half, and his status for the rest of the game is now uncertain. In his absence, Jahdae Barron will operate as Denver's top reserve option behind Pat Surtain and Riley Moss at cornerback against Kansas City.

Sutton briefly left Sunday's game against the Chiefs, Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com reports.

Sutton went to the medical tent after taking a hard hit, but the wideout was able to return to action not long after he did so. In the process he'll bolster a Denver Week 9 WR corps that also includes Jaylen Waddle, Troy Franklin, Marvin Mims and Lil'Jordan Humphrey.

Irving rushed 27 times for 170 yards and a touchdown in the Buccaneers' 16-0 win over the Falcons on Sunday.

The Buccaneers became the first team since 1974 to win a game without completing a single pass, so Irving was a true one-man wrecking crew as far as the offense was concerned. The talented running back's yardage total was a career-high figure, and the performance was the third of over 100 yards for Irving already this season. The third-year back added his fifth rushing touchdown of the campaign on a four-yard run to close out the scoring with 3:47 remaining, and Irving is now up to 728 rushing yards and 5.0 yards per carry heading into a Week 9 road matchup against the Bears next Sunday night.

Smith completed 20 of 32 passes for 290 yards, two touchdowns and one interception in Sunday's 38-33 loss to the Raiders. He also rushed once for four yards.

Smith threw second-quarter touchdown passes of 18 yards to Isaiah Williams and 12 yards to Adonai Mitchell while coming 10 yards shy of his second 300-yard passing performance of the season. The veteran QB had a chance to orchestrate a game-winning drive against his former team, but the Jets' comeback bid came up short when Smith threw an end-zone interception from the Raiders' 35-yard line with seven seconds remaining. Smith has been picked off in each of his last three outings after going without an interception through five starts to open his second tenure with the Jets. He'll take a 12:3 TD:INT into a Week 9 trip to Kansas City.

Robinson rushed 19 times for 76 yards and failed to bring in his only target in the Falcons' 16-0 loss to the Buccaneers on Sunday.

It was a bizarre afternoon overall in very rain conditions in Tampa Bay, and Robinson managed to salvage his day with a solid rushing yardage total. Robinson's tally on the ground was actually his best since Week 5, although his streak of games without a rushing touchdown extended to four games. Robinson is still averaging 5.2 yards per carry on the season and is now up to 983 scrimmage yards and five total touchdowns heading into next Sunday's Week 9 matchup against the Bengals in Madrid.

Washington rushed 25 times for 83 yards and wasn't targeted in Sunday's 38-33 win over the Jets.

Washington got 25 carries to Ashton Jeanty's two, though Jeanty notched 64 receiving yards on four targets while Washington wasn't involved as a pass catcher. Head coach Klint Kubiak revealed after the game that Jeanty's meager rushing workload was by design, per Ryan McFadden of ESPN.com, though Kubiak added that added that Jeanty is "still going to be a big part of our team" moving forward. Sunday marked the first time Washington has notched double-digit carries in a regular-season game. The rookie fourth-round pick is averaging 4.3 yards per carry compared to Jeanty's 3.1 YPC heading into a Week 9 road game against the 49ers.

Wilson said after Sunday's 33-30 win at Dallas that he suffered two broken ribs during the contest, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.

Wilson missed some time spanning the second and third quarter to be evaluated for an undisclosed injury, but he was able to return to action, finishing Week 8 with eight catches (on 15 targets) for 111 yards and one touchdown while taking one carry for 17 yards. Considering he was able to play through the pain and act as a favorite target for both QBs Jacoby Brissett and later Gardner Minshew, Wilson may not be in danger of missing additional time, but a rib injury has plagued him the last two games, so his status bears monitoring to see if that may be the case next Sunday in Seattle.

Jefferson brought in five of nine targets for 33 yards and a touchdown in the Vikings' 19-15 loss to the Lions on Sunday.

Jefferson led the Vikings in receptions with the aid of a team-high target total, but the highlight of the perennial Pro Bowler's afternoon was his touchdown grab. Jefferson stuck his hand up and tapped Kyler Murray's (hamstring) pass to himself while in tight coverage in the left corner of the end zone early in the second quarter, ultimately securing a memorable one-yard scoring grab. Jefferson has topped 50 receiving yards just three times and is still in search of his first 100-yard game of the season, but he's found the end zone in two of the last three games heading into a Week 9 home showdown against the Bills on Monday night, Nov. 9.

Ward completed 26 of 40 passes for 304 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 43-36 overtime loss to the Bengals. He added seven rushing attempts for 41 yards, lost a fumble, ran in a two-point conversion and threw a successful two-point conversion.

Ward threw two go-ahead touchdown passes in the fourth quarter, connecting with Chimere Dike for an 11-yard score before finding Wan'Dale Robinson for a 15-yard TD. Those two touchdown passes came after a streak of five Tony Pollard rushing touchdowns without a Ward passing TD over the previous seven quarters. Pollard's second rushing touchdown Sunday was followed up by a two-point conversion from Ward on the ground, and Ward threw a two-point conversion to Gunnar Helm after the touchdown pass to Robinson to take a 36-29 lead. The Bengals answered with a game-tying touchdown, and Cincinnati scored to begin overtime. Tennessee's ensuing drive in OT resulted in a turnover on downs, but the bonus possession helped Ward reach 300 passing yards in a game for the first time in his career. Ward's first multi-touchdown passing performance of the season improves his TD:INT to 6:5 heading into a Week 10 home game against the Jaguars following Tennessee's Week 9 bye.

St. Brown secured seven of eight targets for 46 yards and rushed once for 10 yards in the Lions' 19-15 win over the Vikings on Sunday.

The star wideout suffered an injury scare in the first quarter on a play where an apparent 24-yard touchdown catch was overturned on replay, but St. Brown was able to return before long and finish the game. However, the suffocating Vikings defense, which St. Brown had enjoyed success against in the past, did a good job limiting him after the catch, even though he did finish with team-high reception and target totals. St. Brown now has failed to record a TD grab in four straight games, but he has at least seven receptions in each of those contests heading into a Week 9 road matchup against the Dolphins.
