Jacas (knee) is questionable to return to Sunday's contest against Miami, Doug Kyed of the Boston Herald reports.

Jacas suffered a knee injury in the second half, and he may now be forced to miss the final stretch of the game. In his absence, Elijah Ponder and Dre'Mont Jones will operate as the team's two primary options at outside linebacker versus the Dolphins.

McBride hauled in seven of eight targets for 72 yards and one touchdown during Sunday's 33-30 overtime victory at Dallas.

The Cardinals offense experienced a QB change from Jacoby Brissett to Gardner Minshew late in the third quarter, but McBride was undeterred, extending his streak of seven-plus catches to eight consecutive contests to begin the season while also scoring his fifth TD of 2026 on a 14-yard connection with Minshew with 2:11 remaining in regulation. Overall, McBride has a 66-544-5 line on 86 targets just shy of the midpoint of the campaign, putting him on pace to surpass most of his career-high marks (126-1,239-11 on 169 targets) from a season ago. It's unclear who between Brissett and Minshew will be under center next Sunday at Seattle, but McBride and WR Michael Wilson (ribs), assuming the latter suits up, will be the top options in the passing game.

Brown rushed 12 times for 55 yards and brought in eight of nine targets for 46 yards in the Bengals' 43-36 overtime win over the Titans on Sunday. He also lost a fumble.

Brown led the Bengals in rushing with an efficient performance, and he finished with his best yardage total on the ground since Week 3. Brown's very busy day as a receiver was second only to his 11-catch, 71-yard effort against the Jaguars in Week 4, and his lost fumble, his second of the season, came early in the fourth quarter and did lead to a Titans touchdown. Brown is in line to fill his usual voluminous dual role in a Week 9 international matchup against the Falcons in Madrid next Sunday.

Huntley sustained what could be a turf-toe injury during Sunday's 36-10 loss at Buffalo, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Huntley took over the offense after Lamar Jackson injured his right thumb on the Ravens' first offensive snap of the game. Huntley himself lasted into the third quarter until he was knocked from the contest with a toe issue. Head coach Jesse Minter relayed to Ryan Mink of the team's official site afterward that Jackson is slated for thumb surgery and will be placed on IR, while Huntley now may be dealing with a multi-week health concern of his own. Huntley will undergo an MRI on Monday to determine the official diagnosis and potential prognosis, but if he also joins Jackson on the pine, undrafted rookie Joe Fagnano (undisclosed) likely will be under center for Baltimore this Thursday against the Jaguars and perhaps beyond that point.

Jones (hamstring) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's contest against the Chiefs, Parker Gabriel of The Denver Post reports.

Jones entered Sunday's matchup with a questionable tag after suffering a hamstring injury at practice during the week. Although the safety was ultimately able to play, it's possible that he tweaked the injury during the game, and he will now have to shift his sights to Week 9. In his absence, Taylor Rapp and Devon Key will operate as Denver's two primary safeties against Kansas City.

Fannin brought in 10 of 12 targets for 154 yards in the Browns' 27-6 loss to the Steelers on Sunday.

Fannin was one of the few bright spots for the Browns on either side of the ball in the ugly loss, setting new career highs in receptions, receiving yards and targets. Cleveland's gradual shift to a pass-centric approach as its deficit grew was a boon for Fannin's production, and the second-year tight end now has a combined 16-245-0 line on 21 targets over the last two games alone. Fannin will aim to carry over the elite caliber of play into a Week 9 road matchup against the Saints next Sunday.

McDuffie (back) is questionable to return to Sunday's contest against the Chargers, Stu Jackson of the Rams' official site reports.

McDuffie was spotted favoring his back after making a tackle late in the third quarter, and his status for the rest of the game is now up in the air. With Jaylen Watson (shoulder) already ruled out, Josh Wallace and Emmanuel Forbes are set to handle increased workload in the secondary.

Warren rushed 17 times for 143 yards and a touchdown and brought in one of two targets for no gain in the Steelers' 27-6 win over the Browns on Sunday. He also fumbled once but recovered.

Warren tied his single-game career high in rushing yards with Sunday's performance, which was partly fueled by a season-long 51-yard run. Warren now has back-to-back 100-yard efforts on the ground for the first time this season, and he snapped a brief two-game rushing TD drought Sunday with a one-yard run early in the third quarter that closed out the scoring for the afternoon. Warren is already up to 704 rushing yards on a career-best 5.9 yards per carry heading into a Week 9 road showdown against the Bengals on Sunday, Nov. 15 following a Week 8 bye.

Allgeier reeled off 147 yards and one touchdown on 11 carries and gathered in all five targets for 44 yards and one more TD during Sunday's 33-30 overtime win in Dallas.

Fellow RBs Jeremiyah Love (ankle) and Bam Knight (concussion) left in the second and third quarters, respectively, and were unable to return, leaving Allgeier as the only healthy and available backfield option the rest of the way. Allgeier didn't really get going until QB Gardner Minshew took over for Jacoby Brissett late in the third quarter, as the running back recorded a 63-yard touchdown run, another 52-yard carry and a five-yard TD grab on the next two drives to account for most of his output. Considering Love has been dealing with ankle issues for most of the season and already has missed two games, and Knight is subject to the protocol for head injuries, Allgeier may be in line for a boost in workload in the short term.

Watson (shoulder) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's contest against the Chargers, Adam Grosbard of The Orange County Register reports.

Watson will be forced to sit out the rest of Week 8 after sustaining a shoulder injury early in the second half. With Trent McDuffie (back) also banged up, the Rams are rather thin in the secondary versus the Chargers.
