Updating an earlier item, Saints RB Alvin Kamara (ankle, knee) and TE Jared Cook (ankle) will not play Sunday.

Fire up Latavius Murray as a flex and Josh Hill is a TE2 streaming option. Murray is on a small streak after outperforming Kamara in Week 7 and now will see more work with Kamara out. The Bears are a favorable matchup against tight ends but have not allowed a touchdown to the position since Week 1.

Saints RB Alvin Kamara (ankle, knee) and TE Jared Cook (ankle) both missed practice Friday and are considered questionable for Sunday against the Bears.

Both players ended up missing practice all week with their respective injuries. We’re awating the official word so keep a watch out for the final designations. If Kamara can’t go, Latavius Murray gets his shot at the lion’s share of the work, while Josh Hill will get the call at tight end.

Adam Schefter reports the MRI on Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes’ knee was “good” and “turned out to be the best-case scenario.”

If the MRI is in fact best-case scenario, Mahomes is looking at missing only three games instead of potentially the rest of the season. The Chiefs play the Packers, Vikings and Titans in that span and will have Matt Moore under center during that time. We can all breathe a huge sigh of relief that it’s only a short absence for one of the most exciting players in the league.

Packers WRs Davante Adams (toe), Marquez Valdes-Scantling (ankle/knee) and Geronimo Allison (concussion) all are not practicing Friday.

Questions abound now for the Packers redwing group as all three have now missed practice all week. The Packers’ injury report will be very interesting to keep an eye on later Friday, but all three should be questionable at best, with Allison likely out again with his continued concussion issues. Jake Kumerow, Allen Lazard and Darrius Shepherd are the next three receivers up after the top three.

Ian Rapoport of NFL Media reports Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes will miss at least three weeks with the knee injury suffered Thursday night against the Broncos.

Rapoport notes Mahomes will have an MRI Friday and the results of that will determine if Mahomes is out for just the three weeks or if he’ll be out longer, which includes the possibility of season-ending surgery. Here’s hoping for the former.

Matt Moore went 10/19 for 117 yards and a touchdown in relief of Mahomes in Kansas City’s 30-6 win in Denver. Over the next three weeks, the Chiefs host the Packers and Vikings and then visit the Titans in Week 9. Everyone in the league is holding their breath Friday, hoping for the best.
