Jackson to back up Favre

Chargers TE Oronde Gadsden is scheduled to undergo an MRI today for the knee injury that he suffered last night.

Gadsden took a knee-on-knee hit during the SNF game against the Steelers and didn't return. Gadsden was a sleeper pick in dynasty leagues this past spring, and sure enough, he emerged as the Chargers TE1 over the last several weeks. Any missed time would be a huge hole for the Chargers, and of course fantasy owners who have begun to plug Gadsden in every week. We'll update as the news comes in.

49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan told reporters following Sunday's loss against the Rams that he hopes there's a chance for quarterback Brock Purdy to return in Week 11 against the Cardinals.

"I do believe he's further along than he was (in Week 4)," Shanahan said. "So hopefully he'll have a chance this week." Shanahan also said Purdy "could have gone today" as the backup but wanted to hold him out one more week. Purdy has been out since Week 4 and has played in just two games this season. Mac Jones threw for 319 yards and three touchdowns, his third game this season with 300 passing yards (two vs. Rams) and his third straight multi-touchdown game, which has allowed San Francisco to be cautious with Purdy's return. Jones threw for 284 and a touchdown in Week 3 against Arizona.

Giants quarterback Jaxson Dart left Sunday’s game against the Bears with a concussion.

He was first taken to the medical tent and then shortly was taken to the locker room during the 4th quarter. Russell Wilson came on in place of Dart. We’ll check on his status through the week. The Giants host the Packers next week.
