Dak Prescott (QB) Dallas Cowboys – Dallas placed Prescott (hamstring) on IR. He will miss a minimum of four games. However, with the Cowboys’ season spiraling, it wouldn’t be a surprise to see the team conclude the season with Cooper Rush under center.
CeeDee Lamb (WR) Dallas Cowboys – At least there is good news for Dak’s teammate:
Cowboys WR CeeDee Lamb has a sprained AC joint, per source. Though Lamb’s shoulder is sore, the injury is not considered serious and he is expected to have a chance to play Sunday vs. the Eagles. pic.twitter.com/swTBrjxD0k

Chris Olave (WR) New Orleans Saints – A scary hit resulted in Olave exiting Week 9 with a concussion. This is his second in less than one month and his fifth major head injury on record. Dennis Allen was fired and the 2-7 Saints are heading toward a massive rebuild with major salary cap trouble. Expect Olave to miss significant time.
A.J. Brown (WR) Philadelphia Eagles – Good news for Brown, who left Week 9 with a knee injury.
#Eagles WR AJ Brown received good news from his MRI today, sources say. No structural issues with his knee, more of a contusion than anything.
Brown has a chance to play this week. pic.twitter.com/OJMIbPcvEQ

Christian McCaffrey (RB) San Francisco 49ers– All indications are that McCaffrey will debut in Week 10.🚀
Jonathon Brooks (RB) Carolina Panthers – The Panthers are also getting backfield reinforcements as rookie RB Jonathon Brooks is scheduled to make his NFL debut. However, Chuba Hubbard has played well and Brooks is expected to be brought along slowly. We advise patience with Brooks.
Tee Higgins (WR) Cincinnati Bengals – Higgins has missed two games with a quad injury. Also, with the Bengals on a short week, his status for Week 10 is doubtful.
DK Metcalf (WR) Seattle Seahawks – Metcalf has missed two games with a knee injury but he could return to practice next week, following the bye.
#Seahawks HC Mike Macdonald said that DK Metcalf injury was a “tricky injury. But hope to have him after the bye week at 100%,” per @SeattleSports
Macdonald also “made a couple of adjustments” to get off to a fast start and hopefully we see it…

Zack Moss (RB) Cincinnati Bengals – Reports indicate that Moss (neck) will miss the remainder of the regular season. The Tuesday trade for RB Khalil Herbert verifies that Moss won’t play anytime soon. His absence will be a boon for Chase Brown, who had a career-best outing in Week 9.
Brian Thomas Jr. (WR) Jacksonville Jaguars – Thomas played through a chest injury but was held to just 22 yards on Sunday. Thomas should play in Week 10.
Keon Coleman (WR) Buffalo Bills – We are still waiting on MRI results for Coleman’s arm/hand injury that occurred when he was hit by Jordan Poyer’s helmet.
Michael Pittman Jr. (WR) Indianapolis Colts – Pittman is playing through back and hand injuries but looked limited in Sunday’s loss. We will monitor his practice participation throughout the week but think it is hard to trust him an anything more than a middling flex option at this time.
Jalen McMillian (WR) Tampa Bay Buccaneers – McMillan missed Monday night’s game after aggravating a hamstring injury on Friday. Those ailments tend to linger, so we do not expect McMillian to play this week.
Will Reichard (PK) Minnesota Vikings – The Vikings placed Reichard on IR with a quad injury. The club signed John Parker Romo to fill in as the placekicker.
