Packers activate Christian Watson from injured reserve

Commanders WRs Terry McLaurin and Deebo Samuel will both play Monday against the Chiefs, head coach Dan Quinn said Saturday.

McLaurin is back after missing four games with a quad injury, while Samuel missed last week’s game with a heel injury. Both were full participants in practice Friday. Having both back in the lineup will be a huge boost for Marcus Mariota, who will get another start in place of the injured Jayden Daniels, who is still dealing with a hamstring strain.

The Jets ruled out QB Tyrod Taylor for Sunday’s game against the Bengals with a knee injury. Justin Fields will start.

Taylor was limited all week in practice and head coach Aaron Glenn was very hush on who would start at quarterback Sunday, never committing one way or the other, especially in the case of Taylor. Now the Jets go back to the quarterback they benched during last week’s loss to the Panthers. Fields has thrown for less than 100 total yards in the last two weeks and he’ll again be without Garrett Wilson. It could be another long day for the 0-7 Jets.

The Ravens have ruled QB Lamar Jackson out for Sunday’s game against the Bears with a hamstring injury.

After initially listing Jackson as a full participant in practice Friday, the Ravens have downgraded that to limited and are keeping him out for another week. Head coach John Harbaugh had said Friday that if Jackson can’t go Sunday, it would be Huntley getting the nod. This just shows how tricky hamstring and soft tissue injuries can be. The bye week was thought to have boosted Jackson’s chances of playing in Week 8. Now the watch is on for Week 9 and the Ravens have a short week, as they’ll visit the Dolphins on Thursday.
