Team news

Doctors believe Giants RB Tyrone Tracy Jr. is expected to be sidelined two to four weeks due to the dislocated shoulder injury he suffered Sunday night vs. Kansas City, per sources.

We reported this news Monday with the expectation Tracy was going to miss some time. Looks like Skattebo is poised to have a much bigger role with Tracy out. Skattebo led the team in rushing yards and was a check-down option, leading the team in receptions and receiving yards as well against the Chiefs.

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy will continue to practice this week and could play Sunday against the Jacksonville Jaguars, coach Kyle Shanahan said Monday. Purdy’s status will remain up in the air as the team evaluates him in practice starting Wednesday.

“We’ll see on Wednesday how much he is able to do,” Shanahan said.

Jones, meanwhile, is day-to-day with a knee injury that bugged him but did not keep him out of Sunday’s win over the Arizona Cardinals, the story went on to say. Purdy practiced in a limited capacity last week, and both Purdy and Shanahan were pleased with his progress. The team left the door open for Purdy to serve as the backup against the Cardinals, but he was inactive, the story said.

The Panthers got their first win of the season on Sunday, but they also reportedly lost tight end Ja’Tavion Sanders for a while.

Sanders injured his ankle during the fourth quarter of Carolina’s 30-0 win over the Falcons. Joseph Person of TheAthletic.com reports that tests showed Sanders suffered a high-ankle sprain and is set to miss multiple weeks as a result.

Sanders had two catches for 11 yards in Sunday’s win. He has 11 catches for 92 yards so far this season. The story added Tremble and Evans saw time at tight end in Week 3. Mitchell was inactive for the game and has not appeared in a game this year.

Chargers running back Najee Harris will not be available for the rest of the 2025 season.

Via multiple reporters, Los Angeles head coach Jim Harbaugh told reporters in his Monday news conference that tests confirmed Harris suffered a torn Achilles during Sunday’s win over Denver.

With Harris out, Hampton is expected to take the bulk of the carries for the Chargers going forward. He’s rushed for 142 yards and a touchdown and caught nine passes for 73 yards, the story said. While Hampton should get a bulk of the work, the Chargers always seem to be quick to say other backs will work in as well. Haskins is up next on the depth chart and the Bolts could be another team to maker a move for a RB sooner than later.

Coach Jonathan Gannon confirms that James Conner will have surgery and is done for the season.

Related players: Trey Benson, Emari Demercado, Zonovan Knight

We reported earlier today Conner would need surgery and be out indefinitely, but this outcome shouldn't come as any surprise given the way Conner left the field in Week 3. Benson will take over as the lead back and there was another report today Demcercado will slide in as the team's RB2. The Cards could make a move for another back at some point, but for now, look for Benson to be given the first chance to be the new RB1.

Dan Quinn says Jayden Daniels is still day to day and next update will come Wednesday - Commanders haven't nailed down his practice plan yet.

Related players: Marcus Mariota

It sounds like Wednesday could be a day we hopefully get a better idea about Daniels' knee injury. The Commanders may feel they bought themselves more time after Mariota led them to a win over the Raiders in Week 3. The Commanders play an early Sunday game at the Falcons in Week 4 and then host the Chargers in Week 5.

Brian Daboll stopped short of announcing a quarterback change Monday, but he also notably would not rule out replacing Russell Wilson with prized rookie Jaxson Dart this week against the Chargers.

Daboll’s series of non-committal answers open up an intriguing week for the Giants, who are off to an ugly 0-3 start following Sunday night’s 22-9 loss to the Chiefs.

“We are evaluating everything right now,” Daboll said Monday on a Zoom call. “We’re working through all personnel decisions and we’ll do that over the next few days.

“We’re doing what we normally do…We’re going through the tape and I’d say we’re evaluating everything.”

The story feels Daboll’s answers were interesting in that he committed to Wilson when asked similar questions one day after a Week 1 loss to the Commanders. We broke it down earlier today that the Giants schedule doesn't really ease up until November, so some who follow the team felt that was a better timeframe to make a QB change. However, that seems pretty late in the game, and with the team off to an 0-3 start, a change seems likely to come before that, especially if the offensive struggles continue.

Colts WR Alec Pierce is in concussion protocol.

It's a bit of a hit for the Colts red-hot offense. Pierce had a 4-67-0 line in Week 3, and given the trend of players having to miss a week after getting placed in protocol, we have to maybe lean toward Pierce not being able to go in Week 4. It will be worth keeping an eye on the injury report this week. Downs and Warren could see more targets if Pierce is out for Week 4.

Pro Bowl wide receiver CeeDee Lamb could miss 3-4 weeks with a high left ankle sprain suffered in Sunday’s loss to the Chicago Bears, according to a source.

Earlier today we reported Lamb said he'd be able to play in Week 4 but we had our doubts about that considering it's a high ankle sprain. Three-four weeks seems like a more realistic outcome for the Cowboys WR1. It's worth keeping an eye on, but his chances of playing in Week 4 don't seem very good. The one bit of good news is reports say the team doesn't plan to put him on IR, meaning they hope he's back within four weeks.

Bears first-round pick Colston Loveland had to leave Sunday’s win over the Cowboys after hurting his hip, but it doesn’t look like he’s going to miss extended time.

Adam Schefter of ESPN reports that the Bears believe Loveland avoided a severe injury. The tight end could play in this week’s game against the Raiders in Las Vegas.

Loveland had one catch for 31 yards before he left the game. He has three catches for 43 yards so far this season, the story pointed out. Loveland was supposed to be one of the top rookie TEs this season, but has yet to make his mark at least in terms of fantasy production. It's at positive news he could be good to go for Week 4, but be sure to watch the team's injury report this week.
