The initial plan for Murray was to see how he did in pre-game warmups before deciding how involved he would be against the Cowboys, but that plan reportedly went out the window a couple hours before game time, per ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler. Jacoby Brissett will draw the start under center for the third consecutive game against the Cowboys. Also inactive for the Cardinals are CB Elijah Jones, LB Xavier Thomas, OL Demontrey Jacobs, OL Josh Fryar, and DL Bilal Nichols.

The Cowboys appear intent on adding pass rush help after trading away Micah Parsons to the Packers this offseason, with Schultz going so far as to say, “a deal is getting done somewhere.” it is public knowledge that the Bengals are seeking a first round pick in exchange for Hendrickson, making it slightly more likely the Cowboys eventually land either Wilson or Chubb in the coming hours ahead of Tuesday’s trade deadline. Stay tuned to see how this situation unfolds.

The team was reportedly set to see how the veteran signal caller responded to a pre-game workout, but it now appears as if he will miss a third straight game. Murray’s next chance to take the field will come in Week 10 against the division rival Seahawks, which will mark over a calendar month since he sustained the foot injury when you include the team’s Week 8 bye.

This has been the tenor of most updates on Hampton, who was placed on IR after Week 5, as he was still spotted in a walking boot after Thursday’s win over the Vikings. Kimani Vidal will continue to be the main back to roster for the Chargers at the moment, though it’s hard to see Hampton not getting the majority of the reps whenever he eventually is activated off injured reserve.

Alt will have season-ending surgery after suffering a second high-ankle sprain to the same leg. We often see NFL players take their time coming back from high-ankle sprains, and rarely do we get the recurrence. This is a brutal blow for the Chargers and puts some governors on their rest of season output. Trey Pipkins and Bobby Hart will do their best to keep Justin Herbert upright, but the Chargers may be susceptible to down games against good pass rushes. Alt will enter year three of his rookie contract in 2026 and he and Rashawn Slater will try to pick up the pieces of what was supposed to be this year in rehab.

“Knowing it’s game-game-bye, that has an affect. But I don’t have a timetable today,” Quinn added. Fantasy managers should be prepared based on this update to be without McLaurin until Week 13. It’s rather inconvenient for fantasy purposes that the Commanders won’t just put him on injured reserve. The star receiver has been dealing with the quad injury since leaving Week 3’s win over the Raiders.

Quinn isn’t placing a timetable on Daniels’ return at the time, but said the team is still working on gathering information on the injury. Quinn, who said the decision to play Daniels in the fourth quarter of a blowout loss was “100 percent on me,” later added that he should be able to provide a clearer update by Wednesday or Thursday. Daniels didn’t suffer a fracture to his non-throwing arm, which is a great sign, but there is still concern about any potential ligament damage, and the option of surgery remains up in the air. A trip to injured reserve seems likely at this point, but we’ll wait for Quinn to provide an update before drawing any conclusions. Marcus Mariota will start as long as Daniels is sidelined.

Odeyingbo had just one sack this season, accomplished in Week 1, but had 21 tackles and four quarterback hits in his first year with the Bears after signing a big free-agent contract. The 26-year-old will probably be a candidate for the PUP list in training camp based on the timing of this injury. The Bears could conceivably get off his 2026 $20.5 million cap hit without much damage to their cap space. In year two of a three-year deal, the guess is that Odeyingbo will stick with the Bears this offseason.

This was the fear following Sunday’s loss. San Francisco loses yet another young EDGE player as they try to piece together some pass rush in the absence of Nick Bosa. Williams finishes the year with a 53.9 PFF grade, but flashed some impressive tools despite not putting it all together. He should be penciled in as a 2026 starter in the second year of his rookie deal assuming rehab goes well.

Higgins left the fourth quarter of Sunday’s wild affair with the Bears with an unknown injury, but it appears to have just been a concussion evaluation. Higgins will get a week off with Cincinnati’s bye upcoming in Week 10 and should be considered likely to be available in Week 11 against the Steelers.
