Crosby (knee/back) is doubtful to return to Sunday's game against the Chiefs.

Crosby suffered the injuries in the second quarter, and the veteran pass rusher is unlikely to be cleared to return to Sunday's game. If he is in fact done for the day, he'll finish with three tackles (one solo). Charles Snowden and Tyree Wilson will see more snaps on defense while Crosby is out of the game.

Umanmielen (back) has returned to Sunday's contest against the Jets, Sheena Quick of Fox Sports Radio 1340 reports.

Umanmielen exited the game after making a hit on the quarterback Justin Fields. The 23-year-old returns as a depth piece behind linebacker D.J. Wonnum.

Smith (back) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Raiders, Charles Goldman of A to Z Sports reports.

Smith came out of the game in the late first quarter to be checked out. After returning promptly and playing a few snaps, he was removed again. He was labeled questionable to return with a lower back injury. The potential loss of Smith is a serious blow to a Chiefs offensive line already without starting rookie left tackle Josh Simmons (personal).

Ojulari (hamstring) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Vikings.

Ojulari appears to have suffered a hamstring injury in the first half of Sunday's game but is being evaluated to see whether he can return. The 25-year-old was expected to play a larger role on the defensive side of the ball with Nolan Smith (triceps) and Ogbo Okoronkwo (triceps) both on IR, and Za'Darius Smith retiring Monday. The Eagles are left with Joshua Uche should Ojulari remains out.

Umanmielen (back) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Jets, Kassidy Hill of the Panthers' official site stated on X.

Umanmielen registered a quarterback hit on Justin Fields before leaving in the second quarter after sustaining a back injury. The 23-year-old strongside linebacker was a depth piece playing behind linebacker D.J. Wonnum.

Higbee had three receptions on six targets for 19 yards in Sunday's 35-7 win over Jacksonville.

Higbee wound up finishing second in team targets behind WR Davante Adams due to Puka Nacua (ankle) sitting out the overseas contest in London. That's where the good news ends, as rookie TE Terrance Ferguson cashed in a 31-yard touchdown with his only reception Sunday. Higbee will carry a 13-121-1 receiving line into the Rams' upcoming bye week, numbers that should keep him off the fantasy radar when the team resumes play against the Saints on Nov. 2.

Huntington is being evaluated for a possible concussion and is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Dolphins.

Huntington was taken to the locker room after visiting the blue medical tent, where he'll be evaluated to determine whether he can return to Sunday's game. With Mike Hall (knee) inactive, Shelby Harris will be the Browns' lone depth option at defensive tackle if Huntington is not cleared to return.

Corum (ankle) rushed 12 times for 37 yards and caught his lone target for six yards in Sunday's 35-7 win over the Jaguars.

Corum was able to work back from an ankle injury that limited him during the practice week in order to suit up for Sunday's overseas tilt in London. The 24-year-old wound up handling a season-high 12 carries, matching starter Kyren Williams (12-54-0) in a game dominated by Los Angeles' passing attack. It is important to note that half of Corum's carries came late in the fourth quarter with the game well out of reach, so this was unlikely a changing of the guard in the Rams' backfield. The 2024 third-round pick was averaging 4.8 rushing attempts per game prior to the Week 7 outburst, so managers should keep expectations in check coming out of the Rams' upcoming bye week.

Trotter (ankle) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Vikings.

Trotter appeared to suffer an ankle injury in the first half of Sunday's game and is being evaluated to determine if he can return. The 22-year-old was a depth piece on the defense, playing behind linebackers Jihaad Campbell and Zack Baun.

Jurgens (knee) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Vikings.

Jurgens went to the medical tent in the first quarter, where medical staff will evaluate his knee injury to determine whether he will return to Sunday's game. Brett Toth has taken over at center in Jurgens' absence.
