Cardinals TE Zach Ertz is questionable to return against the Rams with a knee injury.

Ertz was carted off in the first quarter after slowing walking off the field on his own and being in the medical tent. The Cardinals have been able to find production in his absence, as AJ Green and James Conner have scored for the Colt McCoy-led offense. The Cardinals were leading at the half, 17-3.

FULL 49ers' injury summary:

No practice:
Arik Armstead (foot/ankle)
Samson Ebukam (quad/Achilles)

Limited:
Jason Verrett (knee)
Dre Greenlaw (calf)

Full:
Deebo Samuel
Jauan Jennings
Kyle Juszczyk
Colton McKivitz*
Azeez Al-Shaair*
Elijah Mitchell*

*No official designation (IR)

Good news for Deebo owners. Samuel missed Week 8 with a hamstring injury which led up to the team's bye in Week 9. The extra rest seems to have helped, and it appears Samuel should be good to go in Week 10.

Rookie Treylon Burks is eligible to come off injured reserve this week. He’s been out with a turf toe injury that did not require surgery.

“We’ll see how he is feeling,” head coach Mike Vrabel said in his Monday press conference, via Jim Wyatt of the team’s website. “He has worked extremely hard to stay in shape and condition, take care of his body, lift. … I think this is the best he has been from the standpoint of handling a distraction … Whenever he is ready, I’m excited for him to get back out there."

The team didn't commit to activating Burks this week, but Vrabel did say he's done everything the team has asked to this point. Wide receivers had zero catches this past week with Malik Willis under center.

Texans WR Brandin Cooks’ status is up in the air for tonight’s game against the Eagles after multiple teams — including the #Rams and #Cowboys — couldn’t pull off a trade before Tuesday’s deadline.

With Nico Collins already being declared out, the Texans wide receiver group tonight looks like a practice squad group. Houston is now a 14-point underdog against the Eagles, and the line could continue to move with this added news. Dameon Pierce is the only fantasy-viable option on this team at the moment.

Melvin Gordon will remains the Broncos' starting running back, per George Paton.

Related players: Latavius Murray, Mike Boone, Chase Edmonds

Gordon had a 9-29-1 line and added three catches for 23 yards last week, but Murray had a 14-46-1 line. It would at least make sense Edmonds becomes the team's third down and pass catching back once he's up to speed. Gordon may be the starter but the two have pretty much split the work over the last two weeks: in Week 7, Gordon out-touched Murray 13-10 and last week it was Murray out-touching Gordon 15-12.

According to Adam Schefter, Bradley Chubb and a 2025 fifth-round pick will be moved for a 2023 first-round, 2024 fourth-round selection and running back Chase Edmonds.

Edmonds joins a crowded backfield in Denver where there is already a lot of fantasy confusion. Edmonds could at least claim a pass catching role ahead of Boone, but it remains to be seen if he eats into the workload of Murray and Gordon.

Deebo Samuel (hamstring) is OUT for Sunday's game against the Rams.

Related Players: Brandon Aiyuk, Jeff Wilson

Deebo being out should open things up for Brandon Aiyuk to become more a focal point of the passing game. There's a chance this allows Jeff Wilson to relieve Christian McCaffrey more often, making the backup a desperation Flex option.
