Trey Hendrickson LB | BAL
Bengals' Trey Hendrickson: Leaves game with back injury
Hendrickson is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Packers due to a back injury.
Hendrickson appeared to sustain the injury during the second quarter and was taken to the locker room by trainers shortly before halftime. With Shemar Stewart (ankle) inactive, Cameron Sample and Myles Murphy are poised to see more snaps at defensive end for as long as Hendrickson is out of the game.

Tyler Warren TE | IND
Colts' Tyler Warren: Paces air attack in win
Warren secured six of nine targets for 63 yards and a touchdown in the Colts' 31-27 win over the Cardinals on Sunday.
Warren tied Josh Downs for the team lead in receptions and led the way in both receiving yards and targets on an afternoon where he also recorded his second touchdown grab of the season. Warren found the end zone from eight yards out to cap off the opening possession of the game, and he tallied his fifth catch of 20-plus yards this season earlier in the drive with a 23-yard reception. The rookie tight end will continue to serve as a focal point of the offense during a Week 7 marquee road matchup against the Chargers.

Travis Vokolek TE | ARI
Cardinals' Travis Vokolek: Released from hospital
Vokolek (neck/concussion) was released from a local hospital following the Cardinals' 31-27 loss to the Colts on Sunday, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.
Vokolek was carted off the field after suffering a neck injury while on kickoff coverage during Sunday's game. He was also diagnosed with a concussion after being taken to a local hospital, but the third-year tight end was cleared to fly back to Arizona with the team. Vokolek faces an uphill battle to be available for the Cardinals' Week 7 contest against the Packers on Sunday, Oct. 19.

Dak Prescott QB | DAL
Cowboys' Dak Prescott: Excellent in defeat
Prescott completed 25 of 34 passes for 261 yards, three touchdowns and no interceptions in Sunday's 30-27 loss to the Panthers. He also rushed twice for minus-1 yard and fumbled once but recovered.
Prescott continued his excellent season, throwing for three or more touchdowns in his third straight game while also surpassing 250 passing yards for the fourth time in six contests on the campaign. He showed an ongoing strong connection with George Pickens, connecting with him for three gains of more than 30 yards, including scores from 45 and 34 yards away. Prescott's outlook could improve further in Week 7 due to the potential return of CeeDee Lamb (ankle), though Prescott has proven plenty capable of producing without one of his star pass catchers.

Trey McBride TE | ARI
Cardinals' Trey McBride: Highly productive in Week 6 loss
McBride secured eight of 11 targets for 72 yards and a touchdown in the Cardinals' 31-27 loss to the Colts on Sunday.
McBride finished as the Cardinals' leader in receptions and targets and checked in just behind Zay Jones in receiving yards while working with Jacoby Brissett as his quarterback in the absence of Kyler Murray (foot). The veteran tight end's reception and yardage totals also were new season highs, and his target tally tied a high-water mark he'd reached two games prior against the Seahawks. Despite the superior production and his second TD catch of the season, McBride's day ended in frustration when he didn't get a pass interference call in the end zone he felt was warranted on the Cardinals' final play of the contest, a pass that fell incomplete. With talk of a potential multi-game absence for Murray, McBride's evident chemistry with Brissett is encouraging heading into a daunting Week 7 home matchup against the Packers next Sunday afternoon.

Tetairoa McMillan WR | CAR
Panthers' Tetairoa McMillan: Scores first two career TDs
McMillan secured three of five targets for 29 yards and two touchdowns in the Panthers' 30-27 win over the Cowboys on Sunday.
As his final line indicates, the rookie first-round pick made excellent use of his trio of catches, turning two of them into 19- and two-yard touchdown grabs for the first pair of end-zone trips of his career. Otherwise, McMillan's reception, yardage and target totals all tied or served as new season lows, making it a mixed bag of a day to an extent from a fantasy perspective. Nevertheless, McMillan's role as Carolina's No. 1 receiver is as iron clad as it gets, but he's likely to draw plenty of Sauce Gardner's attention in a Week 7 visit to the Jets next Sunday afternoon.

Mike Gesicki TE | CIN
Bengals' Mike Gesicki: Won't return Sunday
Gesicki won't return to Sunday's game against the Packers after suffering a left pectoral injury.
Prior to his exit from the game, Gesicki didn't record a catch. In his absence, Noah Fant, Drew Sample and Tanner Hudson will handle the Bengals' tight-end duties versus Green Bay. Gesicki's next chance to see game action will occur Thursday night against the Steelers.

Oronde Gadsden II TE | LAC
Chargers' Oronde Gadsden: Career high in receptions
Gadsden caught seven of his eight targets for 68 yards in the 29-27 win over the Dolphins.
Gadsden finally had his breakout game after seeing his snap count surge each of the last three weeks. The rookie was repeatedly a checkdown target for Justin Herbert with the offensive line in shambles, but Gadsden responded well and looked good after the catch as well. It's also worth noting Gadsden did this despite Will Dissly (knee) being active for the first time in three weeks, a sure sign the rookie has seemingly taken over as the team's starting tight end.

Brian Thomas Jr. WR | JAC
Jaguars' Brian Thomas: Starts clicking with Lawrence
Thomas secured eight of 10 targets for 90 yards and a touchdown in the Jaguars' 20-12 loss to the Seahawks on Sunday.
Thomas led the Jaguars' pass catchers across the board in receptions, receiving yards and targets, one-upping the then season-best 80-yard effort he'd posted against the Chiefs on Monday night. The second-year wideout also scored his long-awaited first touchdown of the campaign via a 21-yard grab late in the first quarter that opened the scoring on the afternoon. Thomas has started to find some equilibrium in his production over the last three games, and he'll aim to extend the momentum in a Week 7 matchup against the Rams in London.

Cam Robinson OT | CLE
Browns' Cam Robinson: Sustains knee injury Sunday
Robinson suffered a knee injury in Cleveland's loss to the Steelers on Sunday, Chris Easterling of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.
Robinson was making his first start of the season during Sunday's matchup, and the severity of the injury is currently unknown. As Jack Conklin (concussion) also suffered an injury versus Pittsburgh, the team could be without both starting offensive tackles for its Week 7 matchup against the Dolphins.
