Falcons wide receiver Calvin Ridley, who suffered a mid-foot sprain against the Panthers on Oct. 29, is trying to make it back to face the Saints on Sunday.

He ran off to the side with the trainers on Monday, noted Falcons interim coach Raheem Morris.

Morris said the team should have a better feel for Ridley's status on Wednesday. The team hopes to have him in individual drills and team work as well. With Ridley out against the Broncos, backup receivers Zaccheaus, Powell and Blake all caught passes. Zaccheaus caught a 51-yard touchdown pass and Powell had his first career touchdown catch, the story said.

NFL Network reported Tuesday morning that initial tests on Nick Foles' hip indicated he did not fracture it and the injury might not be as serious as it looked.

Foles will have more tests done, but the hope is he escaped serious injury. Trubisky is battling a shoulder injury and it's unclear if he'll be ready for Week 12 at this point, after the Bears have a bye in Week 11. If he can't go, Bray could get the start but would present a huge fantasy downgrade for an already struggling offense.

Matt Nagy said Nick Foles is being evaluated for a hip or leg injury: "I hope he's okay but he was in a lot of pain."

In other tweets from Maske, he said Nagy believes it's possible that Trubisky will be ready to return from his shoulder injury after the Bears' bye week, but he doesn't know that for certain. It's possible we won't know Trubisky's status until well into next week. Bray looked shaky in his limited time and would be a downgrade for a Bears offense that's struggling to begin with.

Cowboys owner Jerry Jones told 105.3 The Fan Friday that RB Ezekiel Elliott's workload would not be diminished the rest of the season.

Elliott has been a disappointment as a high first round pick in fantasy this season. His fumbling issues and general lack of efficiency is not entirely his problem, but teammate Tony Pollard has shined in smaller bursts despite the situation. The Cowboys are on their bye week.

Falcons WR Calvin Ridley (foot) is not expected to play Sunday against the Broncos.

Ridley did not practice all week and was listed as questionable for Sunday, but it looks like the Falcons are going to take it easy on Ridley. No need to rush him back with the team sitting at 2-6 and heading into their bye in Week 10. Julio Jones is going to be fed targets and Russell Gage is back in the mix as a flex option.
