Here’s today’s injury report for Bucs and Panthers. Chris Godwin dealing with a neck injury, top three inside linebackers all limited or not practicing.

A limited practice before Friday is a good sign that Goodwin will be suiting up for Week 13. Assuming no reaggravation, he should be considered a WR3 in what could be a difficult matchup against the Panthers.

Commanders RB Antonio Gibson, a game-time decision and questionable with a toe injury, is active today. A boost for Washington.

This limits Robinson's ceiling, particularly in the passing game. He should remain a low-end RB2, as Gibson can be plugged into desperate FLEX positions.

Per Nicki; "RB Antonio Gibson (toe) is not out here."

It kinda seemed like Robinson was in the Antonio Gibson role last Sunday, as he ran 19 routes to Gibson's 22 as both received six targets. Robinson also took one 51-yards for a touchdown. Rodriguez would assuredly get more run if Gibson misses, but not enough to plug him into a lineup.

Mike Evans was listed with a quad injury Wednesday. Just working with a trainer early today, but he’s usually a guy to push through injury whenever possible. Something to watch.

The target tree has been quite succinct in Tampa Bay this year, with Evans, Godwin, and Cade Otton being the biggest beneficiaries. Godwin could have a throwback target hog performance if Evans were to miss Week 11.

Falcons ruled out WR Drake London for Sunday’s game vs. the Vikings due to his groin injury.

The Falcons' wide receiver position is a stay-away, with Van Jefferson being the only reasonable replacement, but that should be reserved for the deepest of fantasy leagues.

The Eagles signed Julio Jones to their active roster, off their own practice squad.

Julio caught a touchdown in his second game with the Philadelphia Eagles, and he is now officially off of the practice squad. We shouldn't expect fantasy-relevant usage from the veteran, but he should continue to operate in the Quez Watkins role.

Arthur Smith said Drake London's groin injury vs. the Titans "wasn't as bad as we thought."

It's good news but his status for Week 9 is likely still up in the air at this point. The Falcons say they'll see how the week goes with him. London led the way with seven targets and ended with a 5-55-0 line. Hodge had three catches for 75 yards and Miller caught a TD pass in Week 8. The Falcons have an early game against the Vikings in Week 9, so owners will have time to form a backup plan. The team's bye comes in Week 11.

Atlanta Falcons running back Bijan Robinson will "be fine," coach Arthur Smith said Monday, after the rookie was severely limited during Sunday's victory against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Robinson said after the game that he was suffering from headaches and began "feeling weird" Saturday night. He struggled to sleep and woke up Sunday "feeling completely out of it." He took medicine to try and feel better, but his head continued to hurt.

The situation was definitely strange. Robinson was involved in 11 snaps total but only got a touch on the final play before the game-winning field goal. It was a three-yard run. Robinson said after the game that his head still was bothering him, adding that he was neither tested for a concussion nor administered a COVID test. He was not spotted in the locker room during the open media session Monday, the story added.

Falcons RB Bijan Robinson (headache) carried the football just one time in Atlanta’s 16-13 win over Tampa Bay.

Robinson revealed after the game he was dealing with a headache since Saturday that wouldn’t go away. Head coach Arthur Smith told him he didn’t want to risk anything. Robinson’s one rush came in the fourth quarter. Tyler Allgeier received 21 rushing attempts and went for 59 yards and also caught three passes for 53 yards. So if you’re wondering why you have basically a goose egg from Robinson, there’s your answer.
