| Game Notes | |||
| Updated | Game | Applies To | Note |
| 10/25 3:36 PM PDT | 473/474 Kansas City @ Seattle | Seattle | Seattle activated RB Zach Charbonnet from the injured list on Thursday, and he has been added to the 53-man roster for Sunday night's game, though late word on the weekend from HC Mike Macdonald is that Chabonnet will not be available for fhis matchup vs. the Chiefs. Meanwhile, TE Elijah Arroyo has been placed on injured reserve after suffering a shoulder injury in last Thursday's loss at Denver. |
| 10/24 3:45 PM PDT | 465/466 Cincinnati @ Baltimore | Baltimore | Ravens QB Lamar Jackson was ruled out on Saturday by HC Jesse Minter; backup Tyler Huntley will start for a third straight game. Center Cam Jurgens and offensive lineman Andrew Vorhees, who each missed the Browns game last weeky, returned to practice this week and are expected avialable for Sunday vs. the Bengals, though defensive tackle Broderick Washington (ankle) remains questionable for the Cincinnati game after missing the 13-10 loss at Cleveland. |
| 10/24 3:43 PM PDT | 461/462 San Francisco @ Atlanta | San Francisco | The Niners ruled out WR Mike Evans (Achilles) on Saturday, while WR Deebo Samuel and DE Nick Bosa, who have each missed recent action, will also be sidelined on Sunday. There remains a chance, however, that WR Christian Kirk will return to active duty from the I-R list. San Francisco HC Kyle Shanahan has said the Niners might even enter the Atlanta game with fewer than the allotted 48 players on the game-day roster. After Sunday's clash vs. the Falcons, Shanahan's team gets a well-needed bye next week, returning to action on November 8 vs. the Raiders in Santa Clara. |
| 10/22 12:55 AM PDT | 379/380 Oregon @ Illinois | Oregon | Oregon's top wide receiver Evan Stewart, who missed last week's game against the Huskers, was arrested for DUI on Sunday morning. Meanwhile, QB Dante Moore missed a second straight game last Saturday vs. Nebraska dealing with concussion symptoms, and H C Dan Lanning announced at midweek that both would miss this game vs. the Fighting Illini at Champaign-Urbana. |
| 10/20 2:25 PM PDT | 319/320 Duke @ Virginia | Virginia | Virginia's wide receiver unit is dealing with a handful of injuries. Rico Flores will miss this contest with a knee injury, while Kameron Courtney is questionable after missing last week's loss to SMU. |
| 10/20 2:22 PM PDT | 351/352 BYU @ Central Florida | Central Florida | UCF head coach Scott Frost probably wishes he had a little more clarity at the QB position heading into this matchup. Alonza Barnett has not played since Week 2 as he recovers from a hamstring injury, and even though the Knights are coming off a bye, Barnett remains a question mark. Florida International transfer Keyone Jenkins will remain the starter as Barnett tries to make a late-week push to be the back-up. |
| 10/20 2:09 PM PDT | 377/378 Iowa @ Minnesota U | Iowa | QB Jeremy Hecklinski is expected to get the start this week. On the Hawkeyes' early-week depth chart, Kirk Ferentz had Hecklinski and Hank Brown listed as co-starters but he has reportedly made up his mind. Hecklinski went 14-of-19 for 202 passing yards with three touchdowns and no interceptions in the previous week's win over Washington. |
| 10/20 6:51 AM PDT | 413/414 North Dakota State @ New Mexico | New Mexico | New Mexico is running a bit low on QBs, with returning starter Jack Layne sidelined since the outset of the season and designated-runner James Laubstein suffering a leg injury in last week's win over Hawaii. Though sophomore Toa Fa'avae threw two interceptions and was sacked twice last week in Honolulu, he did contribute a key 21-yard TD run to put the Lobos ahead for good in the fourth quarter, and as the case much of the season, he should continue to share snaps with Oregon transfer Luke Moga moving forward. |
| 10/20 6:17 AM PDT | 389/390 Kansas State @ Arizona State | Arizona State | Sun Devils head coach Kenny Dillingham pulled starting QB Cutter Boley after halftime last week at Texas Tech after Boley tossed two more picks and his third pick-six of the season in the first half against the Red Raiders. Transfer Mikey Keene (formerly at UCF, Fresno State and Michigan) replaced Boley for the second half and fared well enough with 256 passing yards and two TDs that Dillingham is expected to announce a permanent switch later in the week. |
| 10/20 6:14 AM PDT | 385/386 San Jose State @ Nevada | Nevada | Nevada QB Carter Jones missed last week's game at North Dakota State with an arm injury, and backup AJ Bianco limped thru the game in Fargo after injuring his ankle in the first quarter. UCLA transfer Luke Duncan is taking snaps in practice this week for the Wolf Pack in case Carter and Bianco are out or limited on Saturday in Reno. |
| 10/20 6:13 AM PDT | 385/386 San Jose State @ Nevada | San Jose State | San Jose State has reportedly made the full-time QB switch from Hawaii transfer Luke Weaver to Daniel Rolovich. Head coach Ken Niumatalolo said the Spartans plan to stick with Rolovich after he led SJSU to a win over UTEP last week. |
| 10/20 12:16 AM PDT | 409/410 San Diego State @ Colorado State | San Diego State | San Diego State QB Jayden Denegal suffered an ankle injury in last week's win over Fresno State and was unable to finish that contest. Denegal has started every game for the Aztecs over the past two seasons, so San Diego State turned to frosh Stone Sanders to bring home the 26-23 win over the Bulldogs at Snapdragon last Saturday. |
| 10/19 3:57 PM PDT | 475/476 Dallas @ Philadelphia | Philadelphia | In addition to the offensive injuries to Jalen Hurts, Saquon Barkley and others, Philadelphia's defense took plenty of shots in last week's loss to Carolina. Edge rushers Jalyx Hunt and A.J. Epenesa were already out with injuries, and they were joined by Nolan Smith and Jordan Davis after last week's contest with the Panthers. |
| 10/19 3:54 PM PDT | 469/470 Green Bay @ Detroit | Green Bay | Green Bay will still be without Micah Parsons this week as he hasn't been fully-cleared to return from last year's knee injury. Packers head coach Matt LaFleur isn't sure how the team will use running back Josh Jacobs, who was removed from the commissioner's exempt list earlier this week. Jacobs will participate in practice this week, but LaFleur has not committed to adding him to Sunday's lineup. |
| 10/19 3:47 PM PDT | 471/472 LA Rams @ Las Vegas | LA Rams | The Rams suffered some major blows in last week's loss to the Cardinals. Wide receiver Davante Adams suffered a ruptured hamstring and will likely miss the next six weeks. Defensive tackles Poona Ford and Kobie Turner have both been placed on IR, and Myles Garrett has not been cleared to return. |
| 10/19 3:43 PM PDT | 469/470 Green Bay @ Detroit | Detroit | The Lions are coming off their bye week and will get both center Cade Mays and safety Brian Branch back from injury. Branch hasn't seen the field yet this season and figures to provide a nice boost to the Lions' secondary. |
| 10/19 3:35 PM PDT | 467/468 Denver @ Arizona | Arizona | Cardinals' rookie running back Jeremiyah Love did not play in last week's win over the Rams. |
| 10/19 3:35 PM PDT | 467/468 Denver @ Arizona | Denver | The Broncos are hopeful to get defensive backs Patrick Surtain II and Talanoa Hufanga back this week. Both missed last week's win over the Seahawks. |
| 10/19 3:30 PM PDT | 463/464 Indianapolis @ Minnesota | Minnesota | The Vikings are coming off an early-season bye. Wide receiver Jordan Addison, tight end T.J. Hockenson, offensive lineman Christian Darrisaw and running back Jordan Mason were all battling injuries before the week off. Mason is scheduled to return from the IR this week. |
| 10/19 3:27 PM PDT | 463/464 Indianapolis @ Minnesota | Indianapolis | The Colts fired GM Chris Ballard on Monday. Tight end Tyler Warren was unable to play in last week's loss to the Titans. Wide receiver Alec Pierce is not likely to return this week and cornerback Sauce Gardner will now miss time with a strained calf. |
| 10/19 3:23 PM PDT | 459/460 NY Giants @ Houston | NY Giants | Giants' first-year head coach John Harbaugh shook up the roster last week. Running back Cam Skattebo did not have any carries against the Saints after struggling with some fumble issues earlier this season. Harbaugh then made the surprising move to bench Jameis Winston during the game in favor of newly-acquired J.J. McCarthy. As we go to print on Tuesday, Harbaugh has not named a starter for this week. |
| 10/19 3:17 PM PDT | 457/458 Cleveland @ Tennessee | Cleveland | Browns running back Quinshon Judkins, offensive lineman Teven Jenkins, defensive tackle Mason Graham and defensive tackle Michael Hall Jr. all missed last week's win over the Ravens. Safety Grant Delpit left that game with an apparent concussion and will be monitored through out the week. |
| 10/19 2:59 PM PDT | 455/456 Miami @ NY Jets | NY Jets | The Jets are hoping to get some pieces back this week, specifically on offense. Running back Breece Hall, wide receiver Adonai Mitchell, offensive lineman Dylan Parham and edge rusher Joseph Ossai all missed last week's loss to the Patriots. |
| 10/19 2:57 PM PDT | 455/456 Miami @ NY Jets | Miami | Miami is returning from its bye week and should be a little healthier. Wide receiver Caleb Douglas is scheduled to return to practice this week after missing the last three games. |
| 10/19 2:54 PM PDT | 453/454 Tampa Bay @ Carolina | Tampa Bay | Tampa Bay is hopeful to get QB Baker Mayfield and safety Antoine Winfield Jr. back this week. Mayfield will participate in practice on Wednesday to gauge how well he can grip the ball as he recovers from a dislocated thumb. |
| 10/19 2:52 PM PDT | 451/452 Pittsburgh @ New Orleans | New Orleans | Saints' rookie wide receiver Jordyn Tyson will make the trip to Paris. Tyson, who hasn't played at all this season while recovering from a hamstring injury, is hopeful to make his season debut this week. |
| 10/19 2:48 PM PDT | 311/312 New England @ Chicago | Chicago | Bears' defensive end Montez Sweat will miss this game because of a suspension for PEDs (pending appeal). Chicago is hopeful to get running back Kyle Monangai back this week after he missed the last two games with a thumb injury. |
| 10/19 2:48 PM PDT | 311/312 New England @ Chicago | New England | The Patriots did not leave last week's win over the Jets in good health. Offensive linemen Will Campbell, Alijah Vera-Tucker, Ben Brown and Morgan Moses are all dealing with issues. New England also placed wide receiver Romeo Doubs on IR this week with a shoulder injury. |
| 10/19 2:29 PM PDT | 409/410 San Diego State @ Colorado State | Colorado State | Colorado State QB Hauss Hejny is expected to be available this week after missing the Rams' last three games. Hejny was reportedly available in an emergency role last week against Texas State behind K'Saan Farrar, so all signs point to him being good-to-go this week after recovering from a hamstring injury. |
| 10/19 2:28 PM PDT | 395/396 Oklahoma @ Mississippi St | Mississippi St | Mississippi State QB Kamario Taylor is listed as questionable this week as he recovers from a toe injury. Taylor did not play in last week's loss to LSU, and while Jeff Lebby continues to paint an optimistic view toward Taylor's return, whispers around Starkville suggest he's not as close to a return as the Bulldogs are projecting. |
| 10/19 2:28 PM PDT | 393/394 Mississippi @ Texas | Texas | Longhorns' defensive end Colin Simmons is not expected to play this week while he deals with an ankle injury. Over the past three seasons, Simmons has produced a total of 31.5 sacks, including 8.5 over the past three weeks against Tennessee, Oklahoma and Florida. |
| 10/19 2:25 PM PDT | 379/380 Oregon @ Illinois | Illinois | Illinois will be turning to true freshman QB Michael Clayton after normal-starter Katin Houser suffered an injury two weeks ago against Michigan State. Clayton went 6-for-8 with two touchdown passes in relief of Houser against the Spartans. |
| 10/19 2:24 PM PDT | 363/364 USC @ Wisconsin | USC | USC tight end Mark Bowman is expected to return this week after missing the previous two games against Washington and Penn State. |
| 10/19 2:23 PM PDT | 359/360 UL Monroe @ Troy | Troy | Troy QB Goose Crowder is listed as questionable this week as he recovers from a shoulder injury that knocked him out of last week's loss to Louisiana. Crowder threw for 200+ yards in each of the Trojans' previous four games and he scored four touchdowns two weeks ago against Southern Miss. |
| 10/19 2:21 PM PDT | 349/350 Eastern Michigan @ Ohio | Eastern Michigan | Eastern Michigan QB Noah Kim is questionable this week as he deals with an undisclosed injury. The seventh-year senior has appeared in over 30 games with three different programs during his lengthy college career. Kim went 16-of-36 against Toledo last week as the Rockets' defense finished that game with six sacks. |
