Bears RB Roschon Johnson has one more hurdle to clear concussion protocol but Eberflus said it "looks real good" for him to practice Wednesday.

With Herbert on IR, Johnson could come back to a significant role in the running game for the Bears if he's back in Week 8. However, Foreman was pretty good in Week 7, scoring three touchdowns and running for 89 on 16 carries. Johnson seemed to be ahead of Foreman prior to being concussed so it remains to be seen if that will still be the case. Foreman added three catches for 31 yards. The return of Johnson should at least put him as the team's RB2, pushing Evans down the depth chart. Evans was a factor in Week 7 as well, running 14 times for 48 yards while adding a six-yard catch. However the game script against the Chargers could be different in Week 8 compared to how things went for the Bears in Week 7 vs. the Raiders. The Bears and Chargers are a Sunday night contest.

Bills QB Josh Allen (right shoulder) is off the injury report and good to go Sunday vs. the Patriots.

Allen should be started everywhere in a game the Bills are expected to win handedly.

Sean McDermott says QB Josh Allen (right shoulder) will "be out there in some capacity at practice today.

RB Damien Harris, TE Quintin Morris and DT Ed Oliver will not practice

Related Players: Latavius Murray, James Cook

It's more likely that Murray continues to take over the early-and-goal-line role than it is that Cook gets a boost in those areas. The Bills have made it clear that they would like to keep the 190-pound running back out of harm's way, as he only has three of the team's 15 rushing attempts from within the opponent's five-yard line. Murray's role should put him in consideration as an RB3 option, as the team is currently 8.5-point favorites against the Patriots.

Bills QB Josh Allen will participate in practice today, with coach Sean McDermott saying, "We'll see how it goes."

Related Players: Kyle Allen

We'll keep an eye on this, but this is the first report of him being limited this week. Kyle Allen is the only other quarterback on the active roster at the moment.

Sunday night’s game was stopped for several minutes in the first half after Bills running back Damien Harris was injured on a short run.

Harris suffered a neck injury after being hit by Giants linebacker Bobby Okereke and he was loaded on a backboard before being taken off the field by an ambulance.

Harris was able to flash a thumbs up before leaving the field and the Bills announced that he had movement in his arms and legs shortly after the injury.

Bills QB Josh Allen said he'll be ok after right shoulder injury.

Allen went into the blue tent on SNF but would emerge and finish the game. Rapoport said Allen the team kind of blew off the injury. More scans are in store for Allen but he would appear to be OK at this point. Obviously he'll be worth monitoring this week just in case. The Bills have an early Sunday game on the road against the Patriots in Week 7.

Bears RBs Khalil Herbert, Roschon Johnson and Travis Homer are all officially out for Sunday's game vs. Minnesota.

Related Players: D'Onta Foreman, Darrynton Evans

With at least some familiarity in the offense, Foreman can be considered an RB3 for desperate fantasy managers.

Bills are listing both their TEs, Dawson Knox (wrist) and Dalton Kincaid (concussion), as questionable for Sunday night’s game vs. the Giants.

Related Players: Gabe Davis, Stefon Diggs, Deonte Harty

Dalton Kincaid (80) and Dawson Knox (70) currently lead the team in routes ran out of the slot on the season, so if they both miss, they're going to need someone to step up in 3WR sets. Gabe Davis is playing far less out of the slot than he did earlier in his career, but has the requisite size to perform as the "big slot" if they need him to revert back into that player. He ran a season-high 34.8% of his routes out of the slot back in Week 4 during their 48-20 blowout win over the Dolphins.

Bills head coach Sean McDermott told reporters on a Monday video conference that Dalton Kincaid is in the concussion protocol and that Dawson Knox has a wrist injury.

McDermott said the team will monitor both players as they move toward their Sunday night game against the Giants in Week 6. Kincaid was cleared to return to the game, the story said, but will now enter protocol.
