Head coach Kellen Moore said Monday that Stoll sustained a high-ankle sprain during the Saints' 34-10 loss to the Rams on Sunday, Ross Jackson of WWL Louisiana reports.

Stoll was carted to the locker room during the fourth quarter of Sunday's game and is considered week-to-week due to a high-ankle sprain. He's unlikely to be available for this Sunday's game against the Panthers, but with the Saints on a bye Week 11, he may have enough time to recover and return in Week 12 against the Falcons on Sunday, Nov. 23. Zaire Mitchell-Paden and Foster Moreau should see more snaps at tight end behind Juwan Johnson for as long as Stoll is sidelined.

Head coach John Harbaugh told reporters Monday that Washington successfully underwent Achilles tendon surgery, Jonas Shaffer of TheBaltimoreBanner.com reports.

Washington landed on injured reserve in late September due to what was initially listed as an ankle injury, but it's an Achilles injury that the 2020 fifth-rounder is rehabbing from. The injury isn't a tear, and while a timetable for his recovery hasn't been shared by the Ravens, Harbaugh relayed that a return for Washington is not "imminent." John Jenkins will continue to work in an elevated role on the defensive line for as long as Washington is sidelined.

Blue (coach's decision) is listed as inactive Monday against the Cardinals.

Blue committed a fumble during a Week 8 loss in Denver, after which coach Brian Schottenheimer told Nick Harris of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram that players "can't put the ball on the ground." The Cowboys then signed Malik Davis from the practice squad to the active roster ahead of Monday's game. indicating a change at the No. 2 RB spot may be possible. With Blue officially in street clothes Week 9, Davis will serve as the primary backup to starter Javonte Williams.

Murray (foot) is listed as inactive Monday at Dallas, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

Murray hasn't been able to upgrade to full participation in practice due to a mid-foot sprain that he initially suffered Week 5 against the Titans, and he'll now be sidelined for a third straight game while Jacoby Brissett continues to lead the Cardinals offense and Kedon Slovis serves as the backup. Murray's next chance for game action is this coming Sunday at Seattle.

FitzPatrick was not targeted in Sunday's 16-13 loss to the Panthers.

FitzPatrick played 18 snaps in Week 9 but did not have a pass thrown his direction for the third time in five games. He will likely be more involved moving forward with fellow tight end Tucker Kraft (knee) out for the season, but just how much remains to be seen -- he presumably remains the second option at his position behind Luke Musgrave.

Brooks was targeted twice and had two receptions for 24 yards in Sunday's 16-13 loss to the Panthers.

Brooks played 11 snaps in Week 9 -- the most he has recorded in a game since Week 2 -- and got a couple touches, but it was still only the second time all season he finished with more than one. He remains the third running back on the depth chart for the Packers.

Wilson had six carries for 16 yards and one reception for one yard in Sunday's 16-13 loss to the Panthers.

Wilson played roughly a third of Green Bay's offensive snaps for the third straight week, but in a more competitive contest in which the Packers relied more on starter Josh Jacobs, Wilson received half as many touches as he did Week 8. He was still far more involved than fellow reserve Chris Brooks and remains the No. 2 option in Green Bay's backfield.

Murray (foot) isn't expected to play Monday at Dallas, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.

Murray thus is slated to miss a third consecutive game due to a mid-foot sprain, but how the Cardinals officially list him -- either the emergency third quarterback or inactive outright -- remains to be seen. In any case, Jacoby Brissett is poised to start in place of Murray for a third time this season.

Coach Kyle Shanahan noted Monday that Pearsall (knee) has a chance to play Sunday against the Rams but will be evaluated mid-week, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.

Pearsall hasn't seen game action since Week 4, but the wideout appears to be inching closer to a return. Added context on that front will arrive no later than Wednesday, when the 49ers post their first Week 10 injury report. With Brandon Aiyuk (knee) still not ready to have his practice window opened, the team's top healthy WRs currently are Jauan Jennings, Kendrick Bourne and Demarcus Robinson.

San Francisco head coach Kyle Shanahan said that Aiyuk (knee) won't have his 21-day practice window opened this week, David Lombardi of SFStandard.com reports.

The 49ers are continuing to evaluate Aiyuk on a week-to-week basis as he moves through the rehab process for the right knee surgery he required after suffering ACL and MCL tears in an Oct. 20, 2024 game. While the 49ers are seemingly still hopeful that Aiyuk will contribute at some point this season, a more definitive target date for his 2025 debut won't become clear until he starts practicing.
