Sow started at right guard and was removed after nine snaps in Week 10's win over the Jaguars, per Jonathan M. Alexander of the Houston Chronicle.

In a surprising move, Texans head coach DeMeco Ryans opted to start Sow, a practice squad player, ahead of Laken Tomlinson and Juice Scruggs. The move backfired and Sow was removed early in the game while Scruggs finished out at right guard. That Ryans started a practice-squad player indicates the coach hasn't been pleased with how Scruggs and Tomlinson have looked in practice or games.

Stroud remains in the concussion protocol but was in the building Monday as Houston prepares for Week 11 against Tennessee, Jonathan M. Alexander of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Stroud, who sat out last week's win over the Jaguars, suffered a concussion in the Texans' loss to the Broncos in Week 9. This week, the club will hold practices Wednesday, Thursday and Saturday with a walk-through Friday, per Alexander. Stroud will need to practice at least twice without exhibiting any concussion symptoms to have a chance to be cleared for Sunday's game.

The Texans signed Huzzie to their practice squad Tuesday, the team's official website reports.

Huzzie was waived last week after he was activated from the reserve/non-football injury list.

Harris caught both of his targets for four yards in Sunday's 25-10 win over the Steelers.

Harris played 32 of the Chargers' 73 offensive snaps Sunday, behind Quentin Johnston (60), Ladd McConkey (52) and Keenan Allen (37). The rookie wideout has now caught two passes in a contest for the fourth straight week. Harris has played more than 50 percent of snaps just twice this season, limiting his opportunities in the Chargers' offensive attack. Barring injuries to Johnston, McConkey or Allen, the 23-year-old Mississippi product should not be trusted for consistent fantasy production going forward. Next up for the Chargers is a Week 11 matchup against the Jaguars.

Fisk secured his lone target for seven yards in Sunday's 25-10 win over the Steelers.

Fisk was not a major part of the Chargers' game plan Sunday, playing just 27 of 73 offensive snaps and being targeted just once. After failing to record a single catch in the first six games he played this season, the second-year tight end has now recorded one catch in the last two contests. With that said, Fisk's depth role with Los Angeles doesn't provide him with enough opportunities for him to be fantasy relevant, as he will continue to compete with Oronde Gadsden (quadriceps), Tyler Conklin and Will Dissly for playing time and targets. Next up for the Chargers is a Week 11 matchup against the Jaguars.

Cleveland head coach Kevin Stefanski said following Sunday's loss to the Jets that Sanders will remain the backup quarterback for Week 11 against the Ravens, Zac Jackson of The Athletic reports.

As evidence mounts weekly that Dillon Gabriel is in over his head during his rookie campaign, Stefanski hasn't budged on promoting Sanders. The coach was asked directly Monday about when Sanders' chance might be coming, but Stefanski refused to speculate. Sanders, who was never given a single rep with the first-team offense during the summer, is apparently not ready to replace a struggling quarterback three months into the regular season.

Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski said immediately following Sunday's loss to the Jets that Gabriel will remain the starting quarterback Week 11 against Baltimore, Zac Jackson of The Athletic reports.

That Stefanski will stick with Gabriel, despite mounting evidence that the rookie is out of his depth, could indicate his confidence level in backup Shedeur Sanders. Gabriel had a few good moments in the Week 10 loss when new play-caller, offensive coordinator Tommy Rees, added more designed rollouts. That resulted in No. 1 wideout Jerry Jeudy getting his hands on the ball more often and a season-high 54 yards rushing for the quarterback, but opposing defenses are not being challenged. Gabriel ranks 41st among NFL quarterbacks at minus-0.18 expected points added, and he's showing little evidence that improvement is coming.

Forbes didn't make any tackles but picked off a pass Sunday in a 42-26 Week 10 win over the 49ers.

Forbes logged a 92 percent defensive snap share but didn't record any stops. However, he made an impact with a fourth-quarter interception of Mac Jones as San Francisco was attempting to make a comeback. The pickoff occurred in 49ers territory, and six plays later the Rams essentially put the game away with a touchdown to make the score 42-20. Forbes has notched an interception in two straight games after having no pickoffs across his first seven contests of the campaign.

Young tallied four tackles (three solo) Sunday in a 42-26 win against San Francisco.

Young's tackle total was his highest since he recorded eight stops against Baltimore in Week 6. He continues to be a key part of Los Angeles' defense and has posted 9.0 sacks -- fourth-most in the NFL -- through nine games.

Phillips totaled six tackles (four solo) and recovered a fumble in a 10-7 victory against the Packers on Monday Night Football.

Phillips played his first game for the Eagles after being acquired in a trade with the Dolphins last Monday. The veteran linebacker looked good in his team debut, notching two quarterback hits and eight QB pressures. Phillips also came up with arguably the biggest stop of the game, assisting on a tackle of Josh Jacobs behind the line of scrimmage on a Packers 4th-and-1 with under two minutes remaining in the matchup. It's been only one game, but it looks like the Eagles' acquisition of Phillips could pay huge dividends for a club looking to repeat as Super Bowl champions.
