NFL Player News

Lattimore underwent an MRI on Monday that confirmed he sustained a season-ending ACL tear in Sunday's 38-14 loss to the Seahawks, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Lattimore was one of three Commanders players to exit Sunday's contest with a major injury, as quarterback Jayden Daniels (dislocated elbow) and wideout Luke McCaffrey (fractured collarbone) also appear to be headed to injured reserve along with the four-time Pro Bowl cornerback. Acquired from the Saints last November, Lattimore had started in each of his first nine games of his first full season with Washington, tallying 27 tackles, seven pass breakups, one interception and one fumble recovery. Given the timing of the injury, Lattimore is unlikely to make a full recovery from surgery in advance of the Commanders' offseason program this spring, though he'll have a chance at being cleared before the start of the 2026 season if he avoids any setbacks in the rehab process.

Bengals head coach Zac Taylor said that Perine sustained a high-ankle sprain in Sunday's 47-42 loss to the Bears and will need a couple of weeks to recover, Jay Morrison of SI.com reports.

Perine finished with five yards on his lone carry and was limited to six snaps (one on offense, five on special teams) before exiting Sunday's contest with the injury. Though Perine seems more likely than not to miss game action, he'll benefit from a Week 10 bye before the Bengals reassess his condition once they resume practicing ahead of their Week 11 game in Pittsburgh on Sunday, Nov. 16. Perine's early departure in Week 9 paved the way for starting running back Chase Brown to take on his largest snap share of the season (96 percent).

Hockenson had two receptions for 11 yards, including a seven-yard touchdown, on three targets in Sunday's win at Detroit.

Hockenson played on 48 of the offense's 62 snaps and went out for a pass on 28 of them, which was about his usual pattern. However, quarterback J.J. McCarthy attempted just 25 passes, which didn't leave a lot of targets for the receiving corps after Justin Jefferson (nine targets). It's promising that McCarthy looked for Hockenson in the red zone.

Head coach Kellen Moore told reporters Monday that Fuaga is considered week-to-week after sustaining a high-ankle sprain in Sunday's 34-10 loss to the Rams, Ross Jackson of WWL Louisiana reports.

The second-year pro from Oregon State is likely to be sidelined for at least the Week 10 matchup against the Panthers following Sunday's high-ankle sprain. If Fuaga is inactive as expected, Asim Richards is likely to operate as the Saints' top right tackle.

Simmons (personal) returned to the Chiefs on Monday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

The 2025 first-round pick from Ohio State had missed the Chiefs' last three games while tending to a family matter. Now back with the team, Simmons is likely to assume his duties as Kansas City's top left tackle following the Week 10 bye.

Kazee was released by the Browns on Monday.

The 32-year-old appeared in four games and logged 48 total snaps (37 on special teams, 11 on defense) prior to his release, failing to record a defensive stat. Donovan McMillon and Rayshawn Jenkins (groin) are now expected to operate as Cleveland's top reserve safeties.

Head coach Kevin O'Connell told reporters Monday that Kelly (IR, concussion) will begin working off to the side of practice this week, Kevin Seifert of ESPN.com reports.

O'Connell also noted that this doesn't necessarily mean the Vikings will open Kelly's 21-day practice window, it's just a step in the right direction for his return. The veteran center was placed on injured reserve in early October after sustaining two concussions through Minnesota's first four games.

The Cowboys have activated Beebe (ankle) from injured reserve, but he remains questionable for Monday's game against the Cardinals.

The second-year pro was expected to return for the Cowboys' Week 9 matchup against the Cardinals on Monday night, and his activation to the active roster is a step in the right direction. However, Beebe is still listed as questionable, so his return may ultimately come following Dallas' Week 10 bye. If active Monday night, he's likely to operate as the team's top center.

Fant was elevated from the Cowboys' practice squad to the active roster Monday.

The Tennessee product joined the Cowboys' practice squad in late August after failing to make the initial 53-man roster. Now on the active roster for the first time in 2025, Fant is expected to play behind Jake Ferguson, Luke Schoonmaker and Brevyn Spann-Ford in Monday night's matchup against the Cardinals.

Sanborn (groin) was placed on the injured reserve list Monday.

Sanborn had already been ruled out for Monday night's matchup against the Cardinals, but he'll now be forced to miss Dallas' next four games after being placed on IR. The Wisconsin product appeared in six games prior to injury, recording 34 total tackles and one pass defended. Expect Shemar James to operate as the Cowboys' top middle linebacker while Sanborn is sidelined.
