WR Tyreek Hill could sign contract this week

Commanders punt returner and WR Jaylin Lane suffered a fracture and dislocation of his ankle, tests confirmed.

The post went on to say he is likely done for the season and that Lane's ankle has now been stabilized and the speedster is undergoing further tests from the injury in London. Lane only had two catches this season for the Commanders and we had him as the team's WR6.

With Rams receiver Puka Nacua having “core muscle” issues during training camp and then a hip/groin problem that caused him to miss two games, it began to seem as if Nacua might have a hernia.

But coach Sean McVay, during Puka’s recent absence, said the Rams’ top receiver does not have a hernia.

As explained by Erin Andrews of Fox Sports early in Sunday’s Rams-Eagles game, Nacua has a “pre-hernia.”

The story said there’s a weakness in the wall of muscle that keeps internal tissue from popping through. But, for now, nothing has popped through. So it’s not a hernia yet. But it could still become a hernia. Puka played well in his return against the Eagles. But the story pointed out the overriding question is whether it can and will heal over time, especially as he continues to apply stress to the affected area. It’s something that could still result in a condition that will require surgery, during or after the 2026 season, the story said.

Even before the injuries to Tyquan Thornton and fellow receiver Rashee Rice on Sunday, the Chiefs had already shown interest in signing wide receiver Tyreek Hill, who is a free agent.

Following Sunday's game, a team source said "we've remained in contact" with Hill and his agent, Drew Rosenhaus. The Chiefs believe Hill is targeting a November return. Hill has been disappearing off wires since the news picked up some steam over the last couple of weeks. The downside is roster spots are valuable, so you'll have to carry Hill for possibly a month before being able to possibly plug him in lineups. Thornton suffered a dislocated ankle, which was popped back into place, according to the story. Rice suffered a hamstring injury and the story made it seem like he wanted to return to the game, but was held out for precaution, which is great news. The story added HC Andy Reid didn't seem too concerned about Rice's injury. All that said, we'll have to monitor injury reports for Rice this week to hopefully get a better idea of his status for Week 6. Keep in mind, the Chiefs have a bye in Week 5.
