Team news: Washington Commanders | Page 17

Deebo Samuel, who missed the last two games with a hairline fracture in his shoulder, was on the field for the team’s practice session on Monday. It’s a bonus practice as the team returns from its bye week, so there won’t be an injury report to reveal Samuel’s participation level.

Samuel said last week that he expects to return to action for the team’s Week 10 game against the Jaguars, and things continue to appear to be moving in that direction, the story would say. We'll continue to monitor progress, and Wednesday's injury report should hopefully give us all a much better idea of Samuel's chances to play in Week 10.

Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts has worn a brace on his left leg in recent weeks without missing any time, but it looked like that might change after he took a shot to his left knee in the second quarter of Sunday’s game against the Cowboys.

Hurts stayed down before making his way off the field, but he was back at it in the third quarter.

It was a concerning scene for a while after Hurts went down and Mariotta started warming up. Mariotta struggled in the preseason, so much so many who follow the team wondered if he'd even survive cuts. McKee is the team's QB3. Hurts ended up not missing a play but appeared to limp at times. The story added after the game, Hurts was asked about his knee but continued to avoid any specific discussion of what might be ailing him. He said he’s looking forward to some extra time off this week, as the Eagles have a bye in Week 10.

Titans WR Treylon Burks did NOT need to go to the hospital after being stretchered off the field yesterday

He had full use of his extremities, was alert, and was walking around the locker room

Full report below ⬇️

It would not be surprising if Burks missed Week 10's action, but there is no word yet on his status. It's good news that he avoided a serious injury.

Treylon Burks practiced all last week.

Burks has been dealing with a knee injury since Week 2. Burks should slide into a WR2 role on the team but it's looking like Ryan Tannehill won't suit up in Week 8. We reported earlier today the Titans could use both Malik Willis and Will Levis in Week 8 if Tannehill is unable to go. Burks will be a risky start in fantasy lineups this week.

The Cardinals are putting TE Zach Ertz on IR, sources tell me and Tom Pelissero.

Related players: Trey McBride

Ertz, who has 27 catches for 187 yards and a TD this season, suffered a quad strain on Sunday. The plan is for him to return later in the year, the post went on to say. In the meantime, McBride will officially take over the TE1 role, but may have even before Ertz's injury. McBride had six targets in Week 7 and finished with a line of 3-29-0. However, he made some waves in Week 6 when he played more snaps and finished with a line of 4-62-0. If you're struggling at the position, McBride is certainly worth a look.

Eagles QB Jalen Hurts finished the game with a knee brace.

Related players: Marcus Mariota

Hurts was one of the last out of the locker room after halftime and reports said Mariota was close to getting ready to enter the game. Hurts was seen limping after the game but the QB played off the injury during his postgame press conference and says he'll be fine. It was a season-low for rushing yards for Hurts as well. It will be worth monitoring heading into Week 8, which is an early Sunday game against the Commanders.

49ers WR Deebo Samuel (shoulder) is out for Monday's game against the Vikings and at least another game while RB Christian McCaffrey (oblique) is questionable.

Samuel has a hairline fracture. He will miss at least the next two games against the Vikings and Bengals. The 49ers have their bye in Week 9 so Samuel could potentially return in Week 10 against the Jaguars. McCaffrey, on the other hand, was able to practice in a limited setting Saturday, his first practice of the week. Maybe that's a good sign of him playing, but it feels like a true 50/50. Jordan Mason and Elijah Mitchell are behind McCaffrey. The 49ers will also likely be without star left tackle Trent Williams, as he is listed as doubtful with an ankle injury.

49ers RB Christian McCaffrey (oblique/rib), WR Deebo Samuel (shoulder) and LT Trent Williams (ankle) will NOT practice today, per Kyle Shanahan.

No surprise, as Williams and McCaffrey rarely practice on the first day of the week anyway. Tomorrow is a better indicator of progress.

Another source following this tweet mentioned that Kyle Shanahan said that McCaffrey's MRI was "encouraging" and he should be considered day-to-day. We have to assume that his workload will at least be cut back if he plays in Week 7, but bench him at your own risk. We will keep an eye on Deebo Samuel's status for Friday's practice.
