Chiefs remain interested in WR Tyreek Hill after injuries to Tyquan Thornton, Rashee Rice

Oct 05, 2026

Even before the injuries to Tyquan Thornton and fellow receiver Rashee Rice on Sunday, the Chiefs had already shown interest in signing wide receiver Tyreek Hill, who is a free agent.

Following Sunday's game, a team source said "we've remained in contact" with Hill and his agent, Drew Rosenhaus. The Chiefs believe Hill is targeting a November return. Hill has been disappearing off wires since the news picked up some steam over the last couple of weeks. The downside is roster spots are valuable, so you'll have to carry Hill for possibly a month before being able to possibly plug him in lineups. Thornton suffered a dislocated ankle, which was popped back into place, according to the story. Rice suffered a hamstring injury and the story made it seem like he wanted to return to the game, but was held out for precaution, which is great news. The story added HC Andy Reid didn't seem too concerned about Rice's injury. All that said, we'll have to monitor injury reports for Rice this week to hopefully get a better idea of his status for Week 6. Keep in mind, the Chiefs have a bye in Week 5.

ESPN: Saints WR Jordyn Tyson (hamstring) 'weeks away' from return

ESPN

New Orleans Saints rookie wide receiver Jordyn Tyson, who has been on injured reserve after suffering another hamstring injury, is said to be making progress and feeling good but is still considered to be weeks away from returning to action, league sources told ESPN.

The Saints are taking a patient, long-term approach with Tyson, who is not likely to return until Week 7 at the earliest, according to league sources.

Fantasy Impact:

As the story points out, Week 7 presents some logistical complications, as the Saints are scheduled to play the Pittsburgh Steelers that week in Paris. It's hard to imagine Tyson returning that week with the Saints having a bye in Week 8 before a home game in Week 9 against the Cleveland Browns. So, Week 9 seems much more logical. The story added the will be medical checkpoints for Tyson to clear soon, and the Saints are pleased with where he's at in his recovery.

Ravens QB Lamar Jackson is scheduled to undergo an MRI on his ankle today.

Fantasy Impact:

Jackson left Week 4's game against the Titans and never returned. The hope is the Ravens were just being cautious for their star QB, but that remains to be seen. Schefter added that Jackson left the stadium Sunday in a walking boot, but reports after the game said Jackson would be day to day. To make things more complicated for owners, Jackson and the Ravens play in Atlanta on Sunday night in Week 5. There are likely to be a lot of Jackson updates this week, however, so hopefully we get a better indication of his status as the week goes on. That will start with his MRI results from today.

Lamar Jackson 'day-to-day' with ankle injury

Ravens QB Lamar Jackson is considered "day-to-day" with an ankle injury suffered during Sunday's win over the Titans.

Fantasy Impact:

The injury doesn't seem serious at all, especially considering head coach Jesse Minter said the team even contemplated putting Jackson back in the game. Jackson was spotted in a walking boot after the game, but he still looks to have a chance to not miss any time. The Ravens visit the Falcons on Sunday Night Football in Week 5.
