Eagles ruled out WR DeVonta Smith (hamstring) for Sunday against the Rams.

Related Players: A.J. Brown, Jahan Dotson, Johnny Wilson, Dallas Goedert

It's a bit of a crapshoot as to who the "WR2" on the offense will be, but now that he's ruled out, Brown and Goedert should get a nice boost to their bottom line. That would lock Goedert into a no-doubt TE1 role in Week 12.

Nick Sirianni had no update on WR DeVonta Smith (hamstring), who hasn’t practiced yet this week.

“We’ll see by the end of today.”

On QB Jalen Hurts (ankle), who was limited on Wednesday:

“He’s good to go.”

It can be a crapshoot when Smith misses time as to who the "WR2" on the offense will be, but if he doesn't get any practice in tomorrow, Brown and Goedert could end up getting a slight boost to their bottom line. That would lock Goedert in to a no-doubt TE1 role in Week 12.

For a second straight day, Eagles WR DeVonta Smith did not practice today due to a hamstring injury.

Bryce Young will start at QB vs. the Chiefs, per Panthers HC Dave Canales.

Related players: Andy Dalton

Young has been decent enough to help the Panthers win their last two games, Week 9 over the Saints and Week 10 in Germany over the Giants. In that two-game span Young has thrown for 297 yards with two TDs and just one INT. But it's a much tougher test coming in Week 12 against the Chiefs, and to make it worse KC is coming off its first loss of the season. It won't get much easier for Young after that assuming he remains the starter, hosting the Bucs and then traveling to the Eagles in Week 14. The team gets the Cowboys at home in Week 15 and the Cardinals at home in Week 16 before traveling to Tampa in Week 17 and then to Atlanta in Week 18. It just makes sense for the Panthers to see what kind of progress Young can make for the rest of the season.

The Jaguars ruled out QB Trevor Lawrence and RB Tank Bigsby for Sunday's game at Detroit.

Related Players: Mac Jones, Travis Etienne, D'Ernest Johnson

We already knew Mac Jones was declared the starter, but Bigsby being out gives a boost to Etienne. That said, he's still a borderline RB2/3 in a bad offense, in a bad matchup.

Tyron Smith has been ruled out for Sunday. Davante Adams is on track to play.

Related Players: Garrett Wilson, Xavier Gipson, Malachi Corley

Adams had an illness and wrist injury pop up through the week, but it seems like he'll be good to go, which places him in WR2 range as a volume play.

Davante Adams is not practicing today, Ulbrich said. He has an illness and some wrist soreness.

Related Players: Garrett Wilson, Xavier Gipson, Malachi Corley, Tyler Conklin

Adams took 13 targets for 31 yards last week, which is definitely enough to make anyone feel ill. He now has 206 yards on 38 targets over his Jets tenure, for a cool 5.42 yards per target. He's definitely getting the volume, but should be considered a moderate WR2 if he suits up.

Edge rusher Bryce Huff (hand) was also listed as a full participant. Linebacker Nakobe Dean (groin), tight end Dallas Goedert (ankle), cornerback Darius Slay (ankle), and wide receiver DeVonta Smith (hamstring) were listed as limited for the second straight day.

Goedert was listed as limited on Monday as well while Smith was listed as DNP. Goedert is dealing with a new ankle injury while Smith has a hamstring issue. Both are expected to play in a key, division showdown Thursday night against the Commanders.

The Eagles listed several key players as non-participants in practice on Monday.

Tight end Dallas Goedert (ankle), wide receiver DeVonta Smith (hamstring), cornerback Darius Slay (ankle), and linebacker Nakobe Dean (groin) will be something to keep an eye on heading into Thursday’s game against the Commanders.

As the story pointed out, the listings were just estimations because the Eagles didn’t hold an actual practice a day after beating the Cowboys. The Eagles were fortunate enough to be able to rest a lot of players in the fourth quarter with the game against Dallas mostly under control. Goedert's ankle injury is new after just returning to the lineup. Be sure to monitor practice statuses of both players leading up Thursday night.

Dave Canales still mum on who will start at quarterback when the Panthers return from the bye to play the Chiefs.

Related players: Bryce Young, Andy Dalton

Young has led the Panthers to two-straight wins. The team has a bye in Week 11 and gets back into action Week 12 with a game against the Chiefs. It seems silly not to continue to see what Young can do at this point, but it looks like the Panthers are at least leaving their options open through the bye week.
