Cowboys EVP Stephen Jones said Monday that Turpin (foot) is among injured players who "have a chance" to retake the field Sunday versus the Commanders, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.

Turpin has missed back-to-back games due to a lingering foot injury, and he hasn't yet practiced in any capacity in that span. If he's able to resume getting in at least limited on-field reps during Week 7 prep, it seems he'll have a fair shot at returning for Sunday's divisional matchup. Star wideout CeeDee Lamb (ankle) reportedly also has a chance to get back on the field against Washington.

Hendrickson is considered day-to-day after sustaining a back injury in Sunday's 27-18 loss to the Packers, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Hendrickson received positive results on his MRI and likely has a chance to play in Thursday night's divisional matchup against the Steelers. The veteran edge rusher has appeared in all six of Cincinnati's games this season, recording 15 total tackles, including 4.0 sacks, and one forced fumble. His practice estimation Monday and Tuesday will likely provide a better indication on his availability for the Week 7 contest.

Moore logged three snaps (four percent) on offense and did not record a touch while generating 134 return yards on six combined attempts in Sunday's 30-19 loss to Tampa Bay.

Moore reverted to primarily operating as the 49ers' punt and kick returner after recording at least one target or one carry over his previous three appearances. The 24-year-old has just one reception for 10 yards in six appearances this season, leaving no room for fantasy utility. The song will remain the same for Moore in next Sunday's tilt against Atlanta.

Lloyd tallied three total tackles (two solo) in Sunday's 20-12 loss to the Seahawks.

Following an impressive Week 5 performance in which Lloyd tallied two solo tackles and a 99-yard pick-six, he played just 14 defensive snaps in Sunday's loss. The 2022 first-round pick from Utah has now recorded 28 total tackles and four interceptions over 246 defensive snaps through the Jags' first six games this season. Although he had an underwhelming Week 6 showing, Lloyd is expected to start alongside Foyesade Oluokun in Jacksonville's linebacker corps in the Week 7 matchup against the Rams.

Coach Zac Taylor said Monday that Hudson is in the league's concussion protocol, Ben Baby of ESPN.com reports.

With Mike Gesicki (pectoral) going down on the opening drive against the Packers on Sunday, Hudson played elevated offensive snaps and secured four of five targets for 10 yards and one touchdown. Hudson now is injured and looking unlikely to play Thursday night against the Steelers. If Hudson and Gesicki, who is expected to be out for "a while," can't play against Pittsburgh, Noah Fant, Drew Sample and Cam Grandy would likely handle tight-end duties for the Bengals.

Bengals head coach Zac Taylor said Monday that Gesicki will be out for "a while" after suffering a pectoral injury in Sunday's 27-18 loss to the Packers, Ben Baby of ESPN.com reports.

The team is still gathering more information on the extent of Gesicki's injury, but he's already been ruled out for this Thursday's game against the Steelers, and he could miss additional games beyond Week 7. Gesicki played just two offensive snaps against the Packers before exiting the game during the Bengals' opening drive. Tanner Hudson filled in as the primary receiving tight end, securing four of five targets for 10 yards and one touchdown, but Hudson is now in the league's concussion protocol. If both Gesicki and Hudson can't play Thursday, Noah Fant, Drew Sample and Cam Grandy would represent the Bengals' available tight ends.

Oluokun recorded nine total tackles (six solo) and one pass defended in Sunday's 20-12 loss to the Seahawks.

The veteran inside linebacker from Yale played 100 percent of the Jaguars' defensive snaps and led his team in total tackles for the second consecutive week. Oluokun has now tallied 53 total tackles, including 1.0 sacks, three passes defended and two forced fumbles through Jacksonville's first six games this season. He's expected to remain one of the league's top defensive playmakers in the Week 7 matchup against the Rams.

Richardson (eye) is expected to mis multiple weeks after sustaining an orbital fracture ahead of Sunday's win over the Cardinals, Stephen Holder of ESPN.com reports.

Richardson was hospitalized after being hit in the eye by a piece of workout equipment in pregame warmups Sunday. He's dealing with significant swelling around the eye, impairing his vision, though there isn't believed to be any damage to his actual eye. With Richardson out for the immediate future, the Colts could look outside the organization for a veteran backup behind Daniel Jones. Sixth-round rookie Riley Leonard is another option for QB2 duties.

Fields will remain the Jets' starting quarterback for Sunday's Week 7 game against the Panthers, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

Coach Aaron Glenn admitted Monday that Fields, who completed just nine of 17 pass attempts for 45 yards while absorbing nine sacks, "took a step back" in Sunday's 13-11 loss to the Broncos in London, but the current plan is to stick with the 26-year-old under center. Behind Fields on the depth chart are 36-year-old Tyrod Taylor, who is a known commodity as a reliable veteran backup at this stage of his career, and undrafted rookie Brady Cook on the practice squad. Taylor isn't a long-term answer, and Cook likely isn't ready for regular-season NFL action. Things could change if Fields doesn't rebound and show signs of improvement.

Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin said Monday that Killebrew is out indefinitely with a significant knee injury, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.

A core special-teams player for the Steelers, Killebrew sustained a non-contact injury in Sunday's 23-9 win over the Browns. Tomlin didn't provide a specific timeline for Killebrew's return, but the veteran safety is safe to rule out for Thursday's game in Cincinnati, and it wouldn't be surprising if he required a stint on injured reserve.
