Love was diagnosed Tuesday with a right high-ankle sprain, which is expected to send him to injured reserve and keep him out for 4-to-5 weeks, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

A left ankle issue had sidelined Love for the Cardinals' previous two games, but he ended up exiting Sunday's 33-30 overtime win over the Cowboys late in the first quarter after tweaking his opposite ankle. Though the No. 3 overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft was cleared to play in advance of Week 1 after previously sustaining a right high-ankle sprain in the preseason, he won't be as fortunate this time around after injuring that ankle for the second time in less than three months. The projected 4-to-5-week recovery timeline will give Love a chance at returning to action when first eligible to play Dec. 6 against the Eagles, but at least for the next four games, Tyler Allgeier looks poised to serve as Arizona's lead back. The Cardinals could also look to bring James Conner (foot) back from IR at some point during that four-game stretch.

Seahawks head coach Mike Macdonald said Tuesday that Shaheed (knee) has a chance to play Sunday against the Cardinals, Brady Henderson of ESPN.com reports.

Shaheed was sidelined for the first time all season in Monday's 34-17 loss to the Bears, after his knee injury kept him from practicing throughout the week. In Shaheed's absence, Tory Horton handled elevated snaps as the Seahawks' No. 3 wideout behind Jaxon Smith-Njigba and Cooper Kupp, while George Holani served as the team's top kickoff returner. Shaheed may need to turn in a full practice at some point during Week 9 prep to put himself on track to return to action Sunday.

Fagnano practiced Tuesday "with a significant guard/brace on his right ankle," Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.

The Ravens are seemingly being careful with Fagnano's injured ankle, but he was able to get out there Tuesday -- two days prior to his team's Week 9 matchup with the Jaguars. With Lamar Jackson (thumb) headed to injured reserve and Tyler Huntley (toe) unlikely to go Thursday, the banged-up Fagnano is the favorite to start for Baltimore in Week 9.

Tuten (ankle/foot) was not spotted during the portion of Tuesday's practice open to the media, according to Michael DiRocco of ESPN.com.

Tuten was listed as a non-participant on Monday's estimated injury report on a day the Jaguars did not practice, and although the Jaguars will return to the field Tuesday, it appears Tuten will not due to the lower-leg injuries. Tuten will not have much time to get any work in this week with the Jaguars facing the Ravens on Thursday, and if he is unable to go the door will be opened for Chris Rodriguez (hand), LeQuint Allen and Ameer Abdullah.

Johnson carried five times for 17 yards and added an 11-yard reception on his lone target in Monday's 34-17 win over the Seahawks.

With Kyle Monangai (toe/thumb) inactive for a fourth straight game, Johnson continued to serve as the No. 2 running back behind D'Andre Swift. Unsurprisingly, Swift (27 carries for 69 yards and three touchdowns) handled the brunt of the work out of the backfield, with Johnson taking the field for just 14 of the team's 70 offensive snaps. If Monangai is able to make it back for Sunday's matchup with the Buccaneers, Johnson's playing time on offense could disappear entirely.

Horton recorded three receptions for 26 yards on six targets in Monday's 34-17 loss to the Bears.

Horton was on the field for 43 of the Seahawks' 63 offensive snaps, with his 68 percent share representing a season high. The six targets were also a season-best total for Horton, who was the main beneficiary of extra playing time due to the absence of Rashid Shaheed (knee). If Shaheed is cleared to play in the Seahawks' Week 9 game against the Cardinals, Horton will likely see his role get reduced.

Holani carried once for nine yards and failed to haul in his lone target in Monday's 34-17 loss to the Bears. He also returned six kickoffs for 144 yards.

With the Seahawks clearing Zach Charbonnet (knee) to make his season debut and with Jadarian Price (chest) coming off injured reserve, Holani predictably saw his playing time out of the backfield take a hit. He was on the field for just 11 of the Seahawks' 63 offensive snaps, with his season-low 17 percent snap share placing him comfortably behind Price (48 percent) and Charbonnet (37 percent) but ahead of Emanuel Wilson (zero snaps). For the first time all season, Holani was called upon to serve as the Seahawks' primary kickoff returner, as Rashid Shaheed (knee) and Velus Jones (hamstring) were inactive Monday.

Wilson played just seven snaps -- all on special teams -- in Monday's 34-17 loss to the Bears.

After logging double-digit carries in six of the Seahawks' previous seven games while scoring four touchdowns and averaging 66.4 scrimmage yards during that span, Wilson fell out of the game plan entirely in Week 8. With Zach Charbonnet (knee) getting cleared to make his 2026 debut, Jadarian Price (chest) returning from injured reserve and George Holani still on hand as an option on passing downs, the Seahawks had no reps available out of the backfield for Wilson. Unless Charbonnet or Price succumbs to another injury, Wilson's playing time on offense will likely remain scarce moving forward.

Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel said Monday that he had no update on Henry's (foot) status heading into Sunday's game against the Packers, Karen Guregian of MassLive.com reports. "I don't have any expectations yet," Vrabel said of Henry. "It's kind of how he responds here. He wasn't able to finish the [Week 8] game. So we'll see where he is, and I know Hunter will do everything he can to get back to help us."

Henry recorded three receptions for 30 yards on three targets before exiting in the second quarter of Sunday's 24-19 win over the Dolphins due to the foot issue. The Patriots haven't provided any further word on where exactly Henry stands in his recovery, but more context on that front should arrive when the team releases its first Week 9 injury report Wednesday. Despite his early departure in Week 8, Henry leads the team in receptions (29) and is second to only wideout DeMario Douglas in receiving yards (326) through eight games.

The Ravens signed Slovis off the Packers' practice squad Tuesday, Tom Pelissero of Netflix reports.

Slovis immediately becomes the healthiest quarterback on the Baltimore roster, as all of Lamar Jackson (thumb), Tyler Huntley (toe) and Joe Fagnano (ankle) emerged from Sunday's 36-10 loss to the Bills with injuries. Jackson is ticketed for injured reserve and Huntley is considered unlikely to play Thursday against the Jaguars, leaving Fagnano as the likely Week 9 starter after he was listed as a limited participant for Monday's walk-through practice. While the Ravens could elevate Austin Reed from the practice squad to provide another option at quarterback Thursday, Slovis -- who appeared in two games with Arizona in 2025 -- may be the preferred option to serve as Fagnano's top backup.
