Packers RB Chris Brooks getting tests on ankle

Ravens QB Lamar Jackson is dealing with a sprained ankle that gives him only an outside chance to play Sunday against the Falcons, sources say.

Jackson could end up missing multiple games based on how rehab goes.

Lamar owners probably need to prepare to be without him for at least a game, despite having only an outside chance to play this week. It sounds more likely it could be a week or two. The good news, as the post said, the injury is not considered long-term or surgical.

With the Seahawks thin at running back on Sunday, they deployed receiver Rashid Shaheed in the backfield.

He got two carries for 33 yards, including a 28-yard touchdown run.

It wasn’t something the Seahawks cooked up this week, with Jadarian Price on injured reserve and Zach Charbonnet still not all the way back from a torn ACL suffered in January.

“We’ve had that in all [training] camp,” coach Mike Macdonald told reporters on Monday. “This isn’t a quote from [offensive coordinator Brian] Fleury, but felt like it was appropriate because of [Price] going down, he gave us some speed. That was cool.”

Now the question becomes will the team continue to give Shaheed carries. The Seahawks recently signed Mixon, and Charbonnet could be on his way back to the lineup sooner than later. Wilson proved last week he can work as the team's RB1. The 49ers have shown with Deebo Samuel that using your WR at RB can be a nice option for your offense, however many teams have tried to copy and it hasn't worked out. Shaheed has just seven catches for 73 yards and has three total carries this season. He's not necessarily safe for fantasy lineups until we see him get more touches, but this could be a way he gets more work.

Eagles RB Saquon Barkley is considered week-to-week with his hamstring injury, per me and Mike Garafolo. It’s not considered to be a long-term injury.

Good news for the Eagles overall, but it's bad news for the short term. Barkley's status is in doubt for Week 5, a game in London against the Jags. We already know Bigsby is going to miss up to six weeks so it leaves the Eagles run game pretty shorthanded. Shipley would likely work as the main back. Blue, Steele and Pierce are on the team's practice squad and could get elevated leading up to the game. Eagles could look for other options as well. It's a situation to monitor leading up to Week 5.
