The Cowboys are hopeful RB DeMarco Murray can return this week against the New York Giants after suffering a sprained left foot against Baltimore.

Murray, who was in a protective boot and on crutches last week, will have more tests today. In the season-opening win against the Giants on Sept. 5, Murray ran for 131 yards on 20 carries.

Fantasy Impact:

Felix Jones got the start but got banged up before missing the final two drives with a knee injury. Phillip Tanner was pressed into action as a result. With a lot of questions in the Dallas backfield, we'll have to keep an eye on both Murray and Jones' statuses heading into Week 8.

Chiefs WR Rashee Rice limited Monday, RB Isiah Pacheco full

Chiefs WR Rashee Rice was limited on Monday. RB Isiah Pacheco was listed as full.

Related players: Patrick Mahomes, Kareem Hunt

Fantasy Impact:

Rice is dealing with a hamstring issue and this will be worth monitoring on a short week. It looks like Pacheco (knee) will return to the lineup after a full practice, which will cut into Hunt's workload. Also, Mahomes is dealing with a groin injury, but was also listed as having a full practice.

Bengals RB Samaje Perine (ankle) practices fully

Bengals RB Samaje Perine (high ankle sprain) would have been a full participant if the team had practiced today, per the estimated injury report.

Related players: Chase Brown, Tahj Brooks

Fantasy Impact:

This is updating a previous story about Brooks being in concussion protocol and looking like he won't be able to play in Week 13. With Perine practicing fully, he'll backup Brown. Brown has been producing the fantasy numbers as of late, but Perine is likely to get some work well, perhaps especially in the passing game.

Ravens QB Lamar Jackson now dealing with toe injury

Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson has another injured body part.

Jackson, who missed more than a month earlier this season with a hamstring injury, has recently been listed on the injury report with knee and ankle injuries.

On the Monday report in advance of Thursday’s game against the Bengals, Jackson has a toe injury.

Fantasy Impact:

He would not have participated in practice, if the Ravens had conducted a full practice. It was a walk-through. Jackson hasn't looked the same since his return and now seems to be collecting more lower body injuries. It's a really juicy matchup against the Bengals on Thursday night, and with the return of Joe Burrow for the Bengals, the Ravens may have no choice but to put up points.
