Good news on Saints RBs

Commanders QB Jayden Daniels practiced last week and if he has a good week he'll be on track to play in Week 5.

Mariota is going to miss time with the MCL sprain, Garafolo said, which looks like it will clear the way for Daniels to start in Week 5. The Commanders get the Giants this week but things are certainly pointing the direction that he's going to get the start, which is a pretty quick recovery time given the injury. Keep an eye on his practice week ahead.

RT Joe Alt (neck), WR Ladd McConkey (foot) and Donte Jackson (hamstring) are day to day.

McConkey had to leave Week 3's game with the foot injury, so owners are again risking another zero if things don't improve heading into Week 4. McConkey was limited on last Wednesday, didn't practice last Thursday and then returned for a limited Friday practice. McConkey saw two targets before not returning. Owners will need to see much more improvement in his practice time this week.

Joe Mixon’s return to the NFL is back on hold.

The veteran running back worked out for the Seahawks and head coach Mike Macdonald said on Monday that the team was “going through the process” of signing him to their practice squad. They have reportedly changed course before the process reached the finish line, however.

There is no word on the specific reason why the Seahawks opted out. He may have just failed his physical. Mixon missed all of last season with a foot injury. The story said there is also word they will sign Henry off of the Commanders’ practice squad, but the deal has not been officially announced. They did sign Jones off their own practice squad.
