Team news: Arizona Cardinals | Page 12

Per Adam Schefter of ESPN, CeeDee Lamb has a sprained AC joint. The injury is not considered serious and Lamb has a chance to play against the Eagles in Week 10.

Lamb was injured in the first half of Sunday’s loss to the Falcons. But Lamb played through the issue, finishing the game with eight catches for 47 yards, the story pointed out. So the hope is Lamb is good to go in Week 10, which is a later Sunday game vs. the Eagles. The Cowboys, of course, will be without Dak Prescott and will have to go with Cooper Rush at QB. Lamb should remain a target hog if he plays, but it could be another tough go against an Eagles defense that has played well as of late.

Raiders HC Antonio Pierce said he wouldn't name a starting QB moving forward.

Related players: Gardner Minshew, Desmond Ridder, Aidan O'Connell, Carter Bradley

The Raiders are fresh off firing some coaches to start the week, including their OC Luke Getsy. Pierce hasn't yet decided on a play caller, and so an announcement at QB may come after that decision. The Raiders have a bye in Week 10 so they will have some time to sort everything out. With O'Connell on IR, there isn't much reason to stick with Minshew, however the team just recently signed Ridder, so it's possible he gets a chance with the offense once the team is back in action in Week 11.

Patriots OC Alex Van Pelt says the team is going into the week open-minded about the QB situation.

Van Pelt says he's very hopeful that things keep going the way they're progressing with rookie QB Drake Maye in concussion protocol.

Otherwise, Van Pelt won't discuss injuries.

Looks like they're going to run this down to the wire after it was announced that Maye is in "phase three" of the five-phase protocol yesterday. If Brissett gets the start, all New England fantasy options get a downgrade.

Wide receiver Stefon Diggs’s first season with the Texans is reportedly over.

Texans head coach DeMeco Ryans announced on Tuesday that Diggs has been diagnosed with a torn ACL. Diggs left Sunday’s win over the Colts with a knee injury and went for further tests over the last couple of days.

Related players: Nico Collins, Tank Dell, John Metchie, Xavier Hutchinson, Robert Woods, Steven Sims, Dalton Schultz

Diggs had been ruled out of Thursday's game with the Jets but the hope was he'd be able to come back after that. As for the Texans offense, the injury comes at a time when Collins is on injured reserve with a hamstring injury, so a once-deep Texans receiving corps has been thinned out considerably, the story pointed out. Dell, Metchie, Hutchinson, Woods and Sims are the remaining receivers on the 53-man roster until Collins can make his return. Schultz, the TE, should be move involved at least in the short term. The hope is Collins is back in Week 10 as reports say he's been trending in the right direction.

Jaguars WR Brian Thomas Jr. could miss 2-4 weeks with a chest/rib injury suffered Sunday, per sources.

Related player: Evan Engram, Gabe Davis, Parker Washington, Devin Duvernay, Travis Etienne

Scans today will determine full extent and next steps, though. Thomas is also getting a second opinion, Fowler went on to say. It's not good news for Trevor Lawrence and the Jags who also just lost Christian Kirk for the season. With Thomas looking likely to be sidelined, it means Engram is probably the team's top target with Davis and Washington highly in the mix. It could also mean Etienne is involved much more in the passing game until Thomas can return. The Jags are also at 2-6 and there have already been talk of the team unloading some of their talent, and Etienne specifically has been mentioned in rumors.

The Jags may be even more short-handed, as stellar rookie Brian Thomas Jr. will have an MRI on his ribs to determine his status for the week, source said.

Thomas wasn't able to get back on the field after putting up a line of 3-60-1 last week. The Jags are already with Christian Kirk heading into a game with the Eagles. The bit of good news is the Eagles-Jags game was flexed out of Sunday night, so owners will have a little bit more time to figure out a backup plan should Thomas come down to a game-time call. The game is now in the later Sunday window. Rib injuries can be tricky, so owners will want to monitor this all week.

Browns game status for Week 8 vs. Ravens

Wyatt Teller - questionable
Jerome Ford, Ronnie Hickman, Jordan Hicks and Jedrick Wills Jr. - out

Related Players: Nick Chubb, Pierre Strong Jr.

Chubb is set to continue taking a big piece of the backfield pie here, but it's doubtful he gets to a huge workload for another week or two. Consider him an RB3 option in Week 8.

Tom Pelissero of NFL Media reports that the Raiders will sign Desmond Ridder off of Arizona’s practice squad. Aidan O’Connell and Gardner Minshew are the only other quarterbacks on the active roster and they have rookie Carter Bradley on the practice squad.

The Raiders didn’t confirm that quarterback O’Connell will be placed on injured reserve with a fractured thumb on Monday, but they are making a roster move that makes it clear they are short of healthy quarterbacks this week, the story pointed out. Ridder is probably best left on wires in typical leagues, but of course in deeper two QB or superflex leagues, any quarterback is worth stashing away on your roster.

Raiders QB Aidan O’Connell now is expected to miss four to six weeks with a broken thumb, per sources. He is getting a second opinion today to confirm the initial diagnosis.

Related players: Gardner Minshew

Pro Football Talk is reporting O'Connell will be placed on IR. Minshew takes back over as the starting QB after O'Connell recently replaced him, but Minshew hasn't been great this season and threw three interceptions after taking over against the Rams. The Raiders will have to make a move for another QB to be added to the roster.

The Browns ruled out Jerome Ford and Ronnie Hickman, who didn’t practice this week.

Jordan Hicks, Nyheim Hines, Ethan Pocic and Juan Thornhill are all questionable.

Browns RB Nick Chubb is officially questionable for Sunday. He’s practiced the last three weeks ahead of his expected season debut.

The Browns backfield is a complete stay-away until we have a better idea of Chubb's health/how the backfield work is going to be split. Keep them all on your bench for Week 7.
