Packers unsure if RB Josh Jacobs will play Week 7

The Patriots placed WR Romeo Doubs on injured reserve with a shoulder injury and signed DB Elliott Davison to the 53-man roster from the practice squad.

Doubs was injured on a 42-yard TD reception, which was his only catch of the day. The Patriots have a bye in Week 11 so that means the earliest Doubs can return in Week 12. Brown struggled in his return to action and Hollins has missed the last two weeks, so Douglas could still have a significant role for a while.

Colts HC Shane Steichen says WR Alec Pierce, who is eligible to come off IR this week, will not practice.

Pierce is still rehabbing after aggravating his surgically repaired left heel last month, the post went on to say. Boyd added it's not really a surprise and Pierce was in a walking boot yesterday in the press box. It seems like we are still a few weeks away from a Pierce return.

Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield missed his third straight game on Sunday, but the team is hoping that his absence from the lineup will be ending soon.

Mayfield’s dislocated right thumb has also kept him off of the practice field since he was injured in Week 3, but he tested his ability to throw the ball last week and head coach Todd Bowles said at a Monday press conference that the current plan is for Mayfield to be involved in practice this week.

After that, the Bucs plan to evaluate Mayfield this week to determine his status for Week 7. We'll likely know more later in the week, but if there is any chance Mayfield can play, he'll be on the field with the Bucs sitting at 1-5.
