Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Calvin Ridley missed his second straight practice due to a foot injury.

Ridley appears to be in danger of missing Week 9 and will need to practice in some fashion on Friday in order to be active. Ridley was sensational to start the season but has seen his targets, and as a result, his production drop since the Falcons started winning games. Still, Ridley boasts weekly WR1 upside and will be just that if he is able to suit up against the Denver Broncos in Week 9.

Falcons WR Calvin Ridley is considered day-to-day after Friday's MRI on his foot, according to Ian Rapoport.

Ridley has 10 days to recover and test his prior to Week 9's game against the Denver Broncos.

X-rays on WR Calvin Ridley's foot came back negative, according to Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network. He is set to have an MRI Friday.

Good news for Ridley, but he is not out of the woods yet. It would not be surprising to see the star receiver miss at least one game after exiting Thursday night's win in Carolina.

Chicago Bears coach Matt Nagy does not intend to relinquish playcalling duties or revert back to quarterback Mitch Trubisky in the wake of Monday night's disastrous 24-10 loss to the Los Angeles Rams.

Through seven games, and a 5-2 record, the Chicago offense ranks 27th in points per game (19.7), 30th in yards per play (4.8), 30th in yards per run (3.8), 29th in yards per pass (5.6), 30th on third-down conversions (35.1%) and 29th in red zone efficiency (47.6%), the story said. Foles is the 27th-ranked NFL passer in terms of QBR (46.2), the story added.

After fumbling only three times all of last season, Ezekiel Elliott coughed the ball up twice on Monday, making it five in the last five games. The Cowboys’ defense was putting together their best start of the season, forcing Arizona to punt on the Cardinals’ first three possessions. But once the wheels came off for Elliott, it was over for the rest of the team as well. Elliott fumbled on back-to-back possessions late in the first quarter and early in the second. The Cardinals offense turned those turnovers into a 14-0 lead.

Pollard came out and started the next series and was on for eight-straight plays before Elliott did come back into the game. The story said Elliott will need to take on a bigger leadership role with Dak Prescott out. He also could be counted on for possibly more touches as a result of Prescott being out, but will need to get the fumbling issue back under control.
