| 10/21/2026 10:01:00 PM | Lloyd recorded four tackles (three solo), including 1.0 sacks, during the Panthers' 25-14 win over the Eagles in Week 6. |
| Lloyd was responsible for one of the Panthers' three sacks in Week 6, with the fifth-year linebacker taking down Tanner McKee in the third quarter for a six-yard loss. Lloyd is up to 2.0 sacks through four games, which matches his career high that he set in 2024 with the Jaguars across 16 regular-season games. | |
| 10/21/2026 9:14:00 PM | Walker (chest) was a limited participant at practice Wednesday. |
| Walker played all 68 of the Raiders' defensive snaps in Week 6 versus the Bills, so it's not immediately clear when he picked up the injury. In any case, as long as he can upgrade to full participation at practice Thursday or Friday, he'll be in good shape to suit up Sunday versus the Rams. | |
| 10/21/2026 7:38:00 PM | Phillips (hamstring) was estimated as a non-participant on the Panthers' official injury report Wednesday, Darin Gantt of the team's official site reports. |
| Per Mike Kaye of ESPN.com, coach Dave Canales said Wednesday it's fair to expect that Phillips won't play in Week 7 as he recovers from a hamstring injury he picked up during Sunday's game at Philadelphia. In that case, 2025 third-rounder Princely Umanmielen could draw a start on the edge versus the Buccaneers. | |
| 10/21/2026 7:30:00 PM | Evans (ribs/Achilles) officially didn't practice Wednesday, Harrison Rich of the San Francisco Chronicle reports. |
| As expected, Evans didn't mix into drills just two days removed from exiting Monday's game against the Commanders early due to an Achilles injury. Afterward, coach Kyle Shanahan termed the issue right Achilles soreness, per Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com, which isn't believed to be a long-term concern. Shanahan also expressed hope that Evans will be able to play Sunday in Atlanta, but in the end the 49ers likely will exercise caution with the top wide receiver on the roster. | |
| 10/21/2026 5:36:00 PM | Mason (thumb), who remains on injured reserve, practiced in full Wednesday. |
| The Vikings designated Mason for return from IR on Monday, and two days later he was uninhibited on the practice field. He's seeking his first game action since Week 1, after which he underwent surgery on a small fracture in his thumb. The team will need to activate Mason by Saturday afternoon in order for him to have a chance to play Sunday against the Colts, but a full practice Wednesday puts him on pace to be involved in such a transaction. | |
| 10/21/2026 3:22:00 PM | Brown (ankle) does not carry an injury designation going into Thursday's game against the Bears. |
| Brown turned in a full practice Wednesday, and that was enough to take him off the injury report going into the Week 7 primetime matchup with Chicago. He returned from a four-game absence in Week 6 and played 76 percent of the offensive snaps against the Jets, recording three catches for 27 yards on 10 targets. Brown and the Patriots will face a Bears defense that allows 9.8 yards per target to opposing receivers. | |
| 10/20/2026 10:32:00 PM | Wilson recorded 11 tackles (seven solo) during Sunday's 26-19 overtime win over the Buccaneers. |
| Payton led the Steelers in tackles Sunday, and it was the third time he's logged double-digit stops this season. The third-year linebacker is up to 55 combined tackles, which leads the Steelers and is eighth-most in the NFL. He should remain busy in Week 7 against the Saints, whose offense, led by QB Tyler Shough, put up 34 points in a win over the Giants in Week 6. | |
| 10/19/2026 11:37:00 PM | McCaffrey rushed 16 times for 64 yards and two touchdowns and brought in nine of 10 targets for 53 yards in the 49ers' 23-17 win over the Commanders on Monday night. He also lost a fumble. |
| McCaffrey, who's been subject to a markedly lighter workload than usual over the first weeks of the campaign, recorded season highs in rush attempts, receptions, receiving yards and targets on a very busy night. The star running back also contributed his second multi-touchdown tally of the season, powering into the end zone on a pair of one-yard runs in the first half. McCaffrey logged twice as many carries and nine more targets than rookie backfield mate Kaelon Black, so there's no question who the leader of the ground attack is heading into a Week 7 road matchup against the Falcons on Sunday. | |
| 10/19/2026 9:12:00 PM | Loop converted one his two field-goal attempts and his lone extra-point try during Baltimore's loss to Cleveland on Sunday. |
| Loop missed a 49-yard field goal in the fourth quarter, which ended up being the difference in the three-point loss. This was his first missed kick of the season, and he will look to bounce back next week versus the Bengals. | |
| 10/19/2026 9:11:00 PM | Little made his sole field-goal attempt and all four of his PATs in the Jaguars' 34-31 loss to the Texans on Sunday in London. |
| Little made a 60-yard field goal with 1:55 left in the fourth quarter to tie the game, 31-31. The Jaguars' kicker continues to deliver in big moments for the team whenever called upon. Little moves to 10-for-12 on field-goal attempts and 16-for-17 on PATs through six games in 2026. | |
| 10/19/2026 5:50:00 PM | Kincaid (ribs) returned to Sunday's 33-30 win at Las Vegas and finished with seven catches (on eight targets) for 38 yards. |
| Kincaid missed some time from late in the third quarter and into the fourth to be evaluated in the sideline tent, but he got back on the field with 8:01 remaining and added one more reception to his final line. Overall, he paced the Bills in catches and targets, but he ended Week 6 with his lowest YPC (5.4) of the campaign. The Bills have a Week 7 bye, so he'll have plenty of time to heal up for Buffalo's next game Sunday, Nov. 1 against the Ravens. | |
| 10/19/2026 3:45:00 AM | Allen completed 23 of 33 passes for 255 yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions and rushed five times for one yard in the Bills' 33-30 win over the Raiders on Sunday. |
| Allen once again operated without DJ Moore (shoulder), although he did have another deep threat in Joshua Palmer back from his own shoulder issue. The one-time MVP signal-caller spread the ball around to eight different targets, and Allen ultimately played without Dalton Kincaid (rib) for a spell in the second half as well. Allen's passing numbers haven't been particularly impressive since a 334-yard showing against the Texans back in Week 1 as first-year head coach Joe Brady looks to run a balanced attack. However, the prolific quarterback still has 1,504 passing yards with a 9:4 TD:INT and another 240 rushing yards and eight additional scores going into a Week 8 home showdown with the Ravens on Sunday, Nov. 1, following a Week 7 bye. | |
| 10/19/2026 3:22:00 AM | McMillan secured six of nine targets for 86 yards in the Panthers' 25-14 win over the Eagles on Sunday. |
| McMillan tied for the team lead in receptions with Jalen Coker while finishing second to his talented position mate in receiving yards and targets. The 2025 first-round pick was coming off a career-best 14-catch, 192-yard performance that also included two touchdowns against the Lions back in Week 4, and he's gone for at least 75 receiving yards in four of his first five games of the campaign as a Week 7 home divisional showdown against the Buccaneers approaches. | |
| 10/19/2026 2:25:00 AM | Swift rushed 16 times for 44 yards and two touchdowns and brought in four of five targets for 26 yards in the Bears' 31-23 win over the Falcons on Sunday. |
| The Falcons' front did a good job on Swift overall, but the veteran running back was able to offset his average of 2.8 yards per carry with four- and two-yard touchdown runs in the first half. Swift was playing without Kyle Monangai (toe) for the second straight game, and the former did function as the clear lead back before Roschon Johnson saw more work as the contest unfolded. Swift has half his six rush TDs on the season in the last pair of contests, but he could see his workload take somewhat of a hit if Monangai is able to return for Thursday night's home contest against the Patriots. | |
| 10/18/2026 7:28:00 PM | Tate caught six of seven targets for 70 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 26-20 win over the Colts. |
| The rookie wideout capped a solid performance with an eight-yard TD in the fourth quarter, accounting for the Titans' only points on offense for the afternoon in their first win of 2026 and marking the first touchdown of his career. Tate's numbers were more remarkable considering that Cam Ward threw for a meager 102 yards in the game. Tate has begun to find a groove, posting a 22-279-1 line on 33 targets over his last four games. He'll look to keep rolling in Week 7 against the Browns. | |
| 10/18/2026 1:31:00 PM | Tuten carried the ball 12 times for 39 yards and caught all four of his targets for 48 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 34-31 loss to the Texans. |
| While the Houston front seven kept him bottled up on the ground -- Tuten's longest run went for just five yards -- the second-year RB made an impact through the air, turning a dump pass from Trevor Lawrence into a 27-yard score in the second quarter before catching another two-yard TD before halftime. The receiving touchdowns were his first of the season and tied his total from all of 2025, and Tuten topped 80 scrimmage yards for the fourth straight game. The Jaguars will get a bye before facing the Colts in Week 8. | |
| 10/16/2026 12:54:00 AM | Nix completed 17 of 27 passes for 107 yards with no touchdowns or interceptions and rushed four times for two yards in the Broncos' 17-14 overtime win over the Seahawks on Thursday. He also recovered a fumble. |
| Nix continued his season-long trend of sticking to mostly short-area passes, leading to a season-low passing yardage figure and average of 4.0 yards per attempt. The third-year signal-caller did reverse a trend of three straight games with sub-60.0 percent completion rates, but Nix also failed to throw a touchdown for the first time all season. Denver's defense did most of the heavy lifting, and both of the Broncos' touchdowns came on the ground, while Nix now has three sub-200-yard passing efforts in the last four contests. The Oregon product should have a good chance of boosting his numbers in Week 7, however, as the Broncos visit the defensively challenged Cardinals on Sunday, Oct. 25. | |
| 10/15/2026 11:54:00 PM | Dobbins rushed 17 times for 41 yards and a touchdown and brought in all three targets for five yards during the Broncos' 17-14 overtime win over the Seahawks on Thursday. |
| Dobbins was in the customary position of leading the Broncos' ground attack in rush attempts and rushing yards, but he averaged only 2.4 yards per carry against a stingy Seahawks front. Nevertheless, the veteran back made a trip to the end zone for the second consecutive game, going in from four yards out early in the second quarter. After averaging 4.5 yards per carry in a Week 1 loss to the Chiefs, Dobbins has hit a wall in terms of efficiency, but he'll remain the top option in the ground attack for a favorable Week 7 road matchup against the Cardinals on Sunday, Oct. 25. | |
| 10/11/2026 6:11:00 PM | Higgins brought in two of four targets for 22 yards in the Bengals' 31-24 win over the Dolphins on Sunday. |
| Higgins was able to work through groin and neck injuries to suit up Sunday, but the veteran field-stretching receiver wasn't called on to do much on an afternoon when Joe Burrow threw for a season-low 192 yards. Nevertheless, Higgins seemingly made it through the game unscathed -- albeit with season-low totals across the board -- and he'll now have a Week 6 bye to further recover before a Week 7 road matchup against the Ravens on Sunday, Oct. 25. | |
| 10/6/2026 10:23:00 PM | Knight finished Sunday's 22-17 loss to the Jaguars with six tackles (three solo). |
| Linebacker Barrett Carter led the Bengals with 11 total tackles Sunday, with Knight finishing as the team's runner-up in that category. Knight's 45 defensive snaps (73.8 percent) were his fewest of the season after the second-year pro played at least 89.5 percent of the Bengals' defensive snaps in each of his first three games. He's up to 34 tackles (14 solo) and a scoop-and-score on the year. | |
| 10/1/2026 9:07:00 PM | Wilson (thumb) was a full participant at the Cardinals' practice Thursday, Bo Brack of GoPHNX.com reports. |
| Wilson was added to the injury report with a thumb injury Wednesday, ultimately logging a limited practice. The linebacker now appears to be good to go for Sunday's matchup with the Giants after increasing his participation Thursday. | |
| 9/18/2026 11:20:00 PM | Bernard logged five tackles (three solo) and a pass defensed in the Bills' 41-31 win over the Lions on Thursday night. |
| The linebacker was limited during Tuesday's practice session with a calf injury, but he played all 65 snaps in Thursday's victory. The highlight of the defensive captain's night came when he dropped Jahmyr Gibbs in the backfield for a one-yard loss during the second quarter. | |
| 9/2/2026 7:42:00 PM | Coach Sean Payton said Wednesday that Stidham will be the Broncos' backup quarterback to begin the 2026 season, Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com reports. |
| Sam Ehlinger pushed Stidham during training camp for his spot on Denver's depth chart behind starter Bo Nix, and the team opted to keep three quarterbacks on its initial 53-man roster, but at least for now, Stidham is second in the pecking order. Unless Nix gets hurt at some point, neither Stidham nor Ehlinger would be expected to get any snaps in a reasonably close game. | |
| 3/9/2026 7:46:00 PM | Allen is set to sign a two-year, $4.1 million contract with the Bills, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports. |
| Allen has spent most of his career as a backup and played in three games for Detroit last season, going 0-for-2 on pass attempts. With Buffalo, he'll likely be the No. 2 QB behind Josh Allen and replace previous backup Mitchell Trubisky, who is expected to sign with Tennessee. Kyle Allen's contract could be worth up to $6.1 million with incentives, per Schefter. | |
| 3/5/2026 9:33:00 PM | Hunter and the Texans agreed on a one-year, $40.1 million contract extension Thursday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports. |
| Hunter -- who is now under contract with Houston through 2027 -- is coming off of a 2025 campaign during which he compiled 54 total tackles (28 solo), including 15.0 sacks, while also recording three passes defensed, three forced fumbles and a fumble recovery over 17 regular-season games. The defensive lineman has combined to produced 27.0 sacks over two years with the Texans, and his new extension certainly reflects his value to the franchise. Look for Hunter to have another productive season in 2026 while starting opposite of Will Anderson on Houston's defensive line. | |
