DeVonta Smith hadn’t been practicing in full because of a knee injury. This latest inclusion on the report is for a new knee injury he suffered in the game.

Related Players: A.J. Brown, Julio Jones, Quez Watkins, Olamide Zaccheaus

A.J. Brown could me in for a monster workload as the Eagles begin the easiest stretch of their season. None of the receiving options behind him should be trusted if Smith were to miss this week.

The Eagles signed Julio Jones to their active roster, off their own practice squad.

Related Players: Olamide Zaccheaus

Julio caught a touchdown in his second game with the Philadelphia Eagles, and he is now officially off of the practice squad. We shouldn't expect fantasy-relevant usage from the veteran, but he should continue to operate in the Quez Watkins role.

Seven-time Pro-Bowl WR Julio Jones is signing a one-year deal with the Philadelphia Eagles, per sources.

Jones will be reunited with his former Titans’ teammate, A.J. Brown, who pushed for Tennessee to trade for him from Atlanta. Along with playing with Brown in Tennessee, Jones also previously played with Eagles’ WR Olamide Zaccheaus when the two were together from 2019-2020 in Atlanta. The Eagles do have some need at the slot position with Quez Watkins injured, but this looks to be more of a depth signing. Even if Jones would take over the slot role, he's likely still looking at being the team's fourth option in the passing game behind Brown, DeVonte Smith, and TE Dallas Goedert.

It's actually six Bucs players ruled out, as Russell Gage was also ruled out (hamstring). So Gage, Cameron Brate, Goedeke, Davis, Winfield, Murphy-Bunting all out. Akiem Hicks would make it seven out, meaning Kyle Trask dresses as third QB.

Reports also say Jones will come down to a game-time call, meaning Miller and Perriman should see more time behind the big-two of Godwin and Evans.

Julio Jones, Mike Evans upgraded to limited participants on Tuesday injury report.

Both players were listed as DNP on Monday so this is an upgrade ahead of this week's Thursday night game. Jones hasn't played since Week 4. Jones is dealing with a knee issue while Evans has an ankle injury.

Todd Bowles rules out four players for Sunday at Carolina: DL Akiem Hicks, WR Julio Jones, TE Cam Brate, and CB Sean Murphy-Bunting.

Related Players: Cade Otton

Cade Otton had the full TE1 role back in Week 5 and delivered acceptable results, finishing as the TE14, running a route at the third-highest rate (94.2%) amongst tight ends, and racking up seven targets. The team’s Week 7 implied total sits at 25.5, the fifth-highest mark of the slate, which provides some touchdown equity for Otton, who had two red zone targets in his lone start of the season.

The Buccaneers' final injury report for Sunday is not as bad as it could have been —in addition to three out (DL Hicks, S Ryan, CB Murphy-Bunting), they list S Mike Edwards as questionable, WR Julio Jones as doubtful.

Jones has played sporadically in two games this season, so the team is used to him being sidelined. Mike Evans and Chris Godwin remain high-upside WR1/WR2 types, while Russell Gage can be plugged in as a desperation boom-or-bust Flex option. Gage's one fantasy-relevant game (12-87-1 on 13 targets in Week 3) came during one of Julio's missed games.

Bucs are back at practice. No sign of Cameron Brate (concussion) or Logan Ryan (foot). But Carlton Davis, Chris Godwin, Breshad Perriman are all practicing. Looks like Julio Jones will practice today as well.

Good news Godwin seems ready to go after returning last week to the lineup after a hamstring injury shut him down in Week 1. Godwin's role should get back to normal. As for Brate, if he can't go Otton is up next and is a player the team is high on from back in camp. Those in deeper or dynasty leagues who need help, or some longer term potential, should check to see if Otton is on the wire.

Buccaneers WRs Chris Godwin, Julio Jones and Russell Gage are all active tonight against the Chiefs.
