  • 49ers' Eddy Pineiro: Makes six kicks in Week 9 win

    Pineiro made both of his field-goal attempts and connected on all four of his point-after tries during the 49ers' 34-24 win over the Giants on Sunday.

    Pineiro nailed a 54-yard field goal late in the second quarter before converting on a 33-yard try early in the third frame. The 30-year-old kicker has started since Week 2 after the 49ers cut Jake Moody, and Pineiro has made all 19 of his field-goal attempts and all but one of his 15 extra-point tries across seven regular-season games.

  • Jaguars' Ezra Cleveland: Won't return vs. Vegas

    Cleveland (ankle/knee) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's game against the Raiders.

    Cleveland will be held out for the rest of Sunday's contest after suffering ankle and knee injuries. Chuma Edoga has come into the game at left guard in Cleveland's absence.

  • Puka Nacua WR | LAR

    Rams' Puka Nacua: Early exit appears precautionary

    Rams head coach Sean McVay said after Sunday's 34-10 win over the Saints that Nacua suffered a rib injury but could have come back into the game, Stu Jackson of the Rams' official site reports.

    Nacua caught seven of eight targets for 95 yards and a touchdown prior to exiting in the third quarter with what was originally deemed a chest injury. The star wide receiver went inside with trainers but later returned to the sideline with his helmet on and seemed to be in good spirits. McVay suggested that the team was simply exercising a cautious approach by holding Nacua out for the remainder of the contest with the game well in hand. Nacua's practice participation will be worth monitoring prior to the Rams' Week 10 game against the 49ers, but McVay sounded optimistic regarding Nacua's availability moving forward.

  • Jordan Addison WR | MIN

    Vikings' Jordan Addison: Limited in Week 9 win

    Addison brought in two of four targets for 48 yards and rushed once for 16 yards in the Vikings' 27-24 win over the Lions on Sunday.

    Addison's yardage total, modest as it was, led the Vikings on the afternoon, and he also made good use on his one rush attempt. The third-year wideout exceeded the 100-yard mark in two of his first three games after starting his season in Week 4 due to a suspension, but he's posted a modest 5-74-1 receiving line on eight targets over the last pair of contests. Sunday marked the first opportunity J.J. McCarthy and Addison had to work together in a regular-season setting, so the duo should continue building chemistry in a Week 10 home matchup against the Ravens.

  • Aaron Rodgers QB | PIT

    Steelers' Aaron Rodgers: Manages Steelers to win

    Rodgers completed 25 of 35 passes for 203 yards, one touchdown and no interceptions in Sunday's 27-20 win over the Colts. He added two rushes for zero yards.

    The Steelers forced five turnovers, which created several short fields for Rodgers and the offense to work with. They struggled to find much rhythm early, as Rodgers managed to throw for only 108 yards despite attempting 22 passes in the first half. He didn't make mistakes in the win and managed to connect with Pat Freiermuth for a 12-yard touchdown, but Rodgers failed to complete a pass of at least 20 yards for the first time this season while averaging a season-worst 5.8 yards per attempt. This also marked the first time he's failed to throw for multiple touchdowns since Week 4.

  • Jaguars' Ezra Cleveland: Questionable to return

    Cleveland (ankle/knee) is questionable to return to Sunday's contest against the Raiders, John Oehser of the Jaguars' official site reports.

    Cleveland suffered a pair of injuries late in the contest, and his status for the rest of the game is up in the air. In his absence, Chuma Edoga is a top candidate to see an increase in workload on the offensive line.

  • Dyami Brown WR | WAS

    Jaguars' Dyami Brown: Ruled out prior to overtime

    Brown (concussion) won't return to Sunday's game against the Raiders, John Oehser of the Jaguars' official site reports.

    Brown has been ruled out to begin overtime, while Brian Thomas (ankle) is questionable to return. Prior to exiting, Brown caught three of seven targets for 25 yards and rushed once for four yards. The Jaguars placed wide receiver Travis Hunter (knee) on injured reserve prior to the game, leaving Parker Washington as their top healthy option at the position.

  • Lions' Jameson Williams: Bounces back from blanking

    Williams brought in four of six targets for 66 yards and a touchdown in the Lions' 27-24 loss to the Vikings on Sunday.

    Williams was surprisingly shut out altogether during the Lions' Week 7 win over the Buccaneers, but after some bye-week chatter from the coaching staff about making it a priority to get him the ball, the fleet-footed wideout delivered a solid performance. Williams' yardage total tied for his second highest of the campaign, and his 37-yard touchdown down the left sideline that he finished with a full extension was his third of the season. Williams will have a positive outlook going into a Week 10 road matchup against the Commanders, who'll enter their Week 9 Sunday night matchup against the Seahawks allowing an NFL-high 12.0 yards per completion.

  • Jaguars' Brian Thomas: Hurts ankle prior to overtime

    Thomas (ankle) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Raiders, John Oehser of the Jaguars' official site reports.

    Thomas sustained an ankle injury in the latter stages of regulation time against the Raiders and was deemed questionable to return at the start of overtime. Prior to the injury, Thomas caught three of five targets for 55 yards. Parker Washington is operating as the team's top wide receiver without Thomas, Travis Hunter (knee) or Dyami Brown (concussion) on the field.

  • John Bates TE | WAS

    Commanders' John Bates: Cleared to play vs. Seattle

    Bates (ankle) is active for Sunday's game against the Seahawks.

    Bates was limited in the final two practices of Week 9 prep due to an ankle injury, but he's been cleared to play Sunday night after going through pregame warmups. Bates and Ben Sinnott will provide depth at tight end behind Zach Ertz.
