Game Notes
| Game Notes | |||
| Updated | Game | Applies To | Note |
| 11/05 10:59 AM PST | 461/462 NY Giants @ Philadelphia | Philadelphia | The Eagles are making the QB switch from Tanner McKee to newly-acquired Joe Milton III. This is Milton's third year in the NFL, but his first career start after being signed off the Cowboys' practice squad last month. |
| 11/05 10:56 AM PST | 473/474 Arizona @ Seattle | Arizona | The Cardinals traded former QB Jacoby Brissett to Baltimore earlier this week, likely paving the way for veteran Gardner Minshew to eventually hand the reins to rookie Carson Beck over the next few weeks. |
| 11/05 10:51 AM PST | 419/420 Miami Florida @ Notre Dame | Miami Florida | Hurricanes' star receiver Malachi Toney is expected to undergo ankle surgery on Thursday and will likely miss the next 4-6 weeks, but will hope to return for the College Football Playoff, assuming Miami is involved. |
| 11/05 9:48 AM PST | 473/474 Arizona @ Seattle | Seattle | Seahawks QB Sam Darnold will miss this contest and potentially a few more as he deals with an injured quad. Drew Lock is the Seahawks' back-up and he's seen significant minutes in two games earlier this season, but Lock is also dealing with an elbow injury that's kept him limited for the past few weeks. Former Alabama QB Jalen Milroe, who still hasn't thrown a pass in his NFL career, would be the Seahawks' starter if Lock is unable to go. |
| 11/04 6:39 AM PST | 453/454 Cleveland @ New Orleans | Cleveland | Browns QB Deshaun Watson is a very late addition to the league's concussion protocol. Cleveland said that Watson passed two evaluations on Sunday and Monday, but began experiencing concussion symptoms on Tuesday morning. Given how late in the week this was announced, it seems unlikely that Watson will be cleared in time for Sunday's game. |
| 11/03 1:31 PM PST | 421/422 Fresno State @ Utah State | Utah State | The Aggies made a QB switch last week vs. Colorado State, as Bronco Mendenhall benched Grady Brosterhous, who had been in the starting lineup since mid-September, and returned to opening-game starter and ex-BYU McCae Hillstead, who completed 17 of 22 passes and rushed for 79 yards, both passing and running for a TD, in an uplifting 31-14 win over the Rams. Hillstead is expected to remain in the Aggies lineup moving forward. |
| 11/03 1:21 PM PST | 417/418 Air Force @ Army | Air Force | Troy Calhoun's Falcons, down top-two QBs Liam Szarka and Evan Medders due to injury, opted for ex-linebacker and 245-pound bulldozer Kemper Hodges at QB last week vs. UConn, and Hodges responded with a punishing 200 rushing yards in the Falcons' 35-26 win in Colorado Springs. Hodges also started a game and won at Northern Illinois earlier in October, and worth noting that Air Force didn't complete a pass in either of the games Hodges has started! Though Medders (ankle) would likely get the start this week if available, Calhoun will not mind having to stick with Hodges one more week. |
| 11/03 1:17 PM PST | 413/414 Boise State @ Colorado State | Boise State | Broncos QB Maddux Madsen was knocked out of last week's game vs. Texas State with a leg injury late in the third quarter and did not return to the game, instead seen using crutches on the sidelines in the fourth quarter. Backup QB Max Cutforth, who saw extensive action last November, fired three TD passes to steal a wild 46-45 win over the visiting Bobcats. Boise HC Spencer Danielson wasn't specific early in the week regarding the status of Madsen, other than intimating he'd be "back here soon," with no specific timetable. This news likely gets updated later in the week, though Cutforth's performance out of the bullpen should allay some of the fears in the Bronco fan base. |
| 11/03 1:11 PM PST | 393/394 Rice @ North Texas | Rice | With do-eveything QB Jacurri Brown out with an ankle injury, the Owls unveiled a stealth weapon, sophomore QB Gael Ochoa, who rushed for a whopping 259 yards out of Scott Abell's ground-oriented "Gun-Option" in a wild 51-49 Rice loss in Boca Raton on October 24. Brown's status remains up in the air for this weekend, though when last seen, the Owls didn't seem to miss him much at FAU. |
| 11/03 1:07 PM PST | 385/386 Oregon @ Ohio State | Oregon | The Ducks announced last week that QB Dante Moore will not be returning to active duty this season as he continues to deal with protocols after the scary concussion suffered in the September 26 win over USC at the LA Coliseum. |
| 11/03 12:10 PM PST | 369/370 BYU @ Utah | BYU | Out since twisting an ankle on October 3 at TCU, last year's leading BYU rusher LJ Martin (1,305 yards in 2025) will reportedly have a chance to return to active duty on Saturday, though HC Kalani Sitake won't know for sure until later in the week. |
| 11/03 12:05 PM PST | 365/366 Colorado @ Arizona State | Arizona State | With Fresno State (and elsewhere) transfer Mikey Keene sidelined by a leg injury, freshman QB Jake Fette got the start last Saturday at BYU and acquitted himself well, tossing a pair of TDs and no picks in the Sun Devils' narrow 27-20 loss in Provo. Fette had featured the week before off the bench vs. Kansas State and delivered a pair of TD drives in the fourth quarter of a 28-17 win over the Wildcats. Keene is likely to be available for this week but Big XII sources believe HC Kenny Dillingham will stick with Fette for the time being after his encouraging recent efforts. Early-season starter and Kentucky transfer Cutter Boley appears out of the frame at the moment after being benched by Dillingham in the Texas Tech blowout loss three weeks ago. |
| 11/03 11:52 AM PST | 355/356 Oklahoma State @ Kansas State | Kansas State | Last Saturday at Colorado, K-State was down to its fourth QB, though junior Blake Barnett did provide a spark off of the bench when tossing three TD passes vs. the Buffaloes. It was still a losing effort in OT at Boulder, however, and now Wildcats HC Collin Klein is looking at starting a fourth different QB in as many weeks with starter Avery Johnson (neck/shoulder; now likely done for season), backup Jacob Knuth (ankle), and sophomore Dillon Duff (ineffective at Colorado before getting pulled) not likely in the picture for this Saturday's visit from the Cowboys. |
| 11/03 11:46 AM PST | 323/324 New Mexico @ Nevada | Nevada | Note that the Wolf Pack gave UCLA transfer Luke Duncan, usually third on the depth chart, a second straight start last week at the Rose Bowl vs. his former Bruins team, but after tossing three picks in the first 7:27 was pulled by HC Jeff Choate in favor of normal backup AJ Bianco, who had been dealing with an ankle sprain but was available if needed...and he became needed early thanks to Duncan's mistakes. First-stringer Carter Jones has been sidelined in recent weeks due to an elbow issue and he is doubtful again this week. |
| 11/03 11:07 AM PST | 411/412 Kentucky @ Tennessee U | Kentucky | Kentucky running back CJ Baxter is expected to return this week. Baxter missed the game against Oklahoma and was only able to generate one catch and one rushing attempt against Vanderbilt with an injured shoulder. |
| 11/03 11:03 AM PST | 347/348 Clemson @ Syracuse | Clemson | Clemson running back Gideon Davidson is not expected to play this week after suffering an ankle injury in last week's win over Florida State. Davidson is averaging 5.0 yards per carry with five touchdowns this season. |
| 11/03 11:03 AM PST | 375/376 Penn State @ Washington U | Penn State | Penn State wide receiver Chase Sowell is expected to play this week at Washington after missing last week's win over Purdue. Koby Howard is now listed as questionable after missing each of the last five games with a lower body injury. |
| 11/03 10:55 AM PST | 331/332 Florida State @ Boston College | Florida State | Florida State's top receiver Duce Robinson (18.3 yards per reception with four touchdowns) suffered a torn ACL in last week's loss to Clemson and will miss the rest of the season. |
| 11/03 8:44 AM PST | 471/472 Green Bay @ New England | Green Bay | Packers' edge rusher Micah Parsons is expected to return to practice this week, but head coach Matt LaFleur said, "It's gonna be a process trying to get him back." Parsons suffered a torn ACL last December and will likely return to the field within the next few weeks. |
| 11/03 7:42 AM PST | 465/466 Denver @ Carolina | Carolina | Carolina fired defensive coordinator Ejiro Evero and defensive passing game coordinator Jonathan Cooley last week. Todd Wash has been named the interim DC and former Pro Bowl cornerback DeAngelo Hall has been brought back to the organization to work with the defensive backs. |
| 11/03 6:35 AM PST | 459/460 Dallas @ Indianapolis | Dallas | Defensive back Caleb Downs, safety PJ Locke, edge rusher Malachi Lawrence, cornerback Joey Porter, Jr. and tight end Jake Ferguson all suffered injuries in last week's loss to Arizona. Downs needs to clear concussion protocol, while Lawrence is expected to miss a few weeks with an ankle injury. |
| 11/02 11:07 PM PST | 369/370 BYU @ Utah | Utah | Top Utes rusher Wayshawn Parker (726 YR) missed the second half of last week's 49-25 win at Cincinnati due to a thigh contusion. Regional sources, however, report the move was mostly cautionary as the game was well in hand, and Parker is expected to be available for this BYU showdown. |
| 11/02 3:49 PM PST | 311/312 Jacksonville @ Baltimore | Baltimore | The Ravens placed QB Lamar Jackson on IR with a thumb injury, forcing him to miss the next four weeks (at minimum). Tyler Huntley is doubtful with a toe injury, leaving third-string rookie Joe Fagnano as the likely starter this week. |
| 11/02 3:09 PM PST | 477/478 Buffalo @ Minnesota | Minnesota | Vikings' QB Kyler Murray is being evaluated for a hamstring issue. He has an extra day for treatment with Minnesota playing on Monday, but early indications suggest he may be limited in practice this week. |
| 11/02 3:05 PM PST | 463/464 NY Jets @ Kansas City | NY Jets | Jets' running back Breece Hall is expected to return this week after missing each of the last five games with a quad injury. |
| 11/02 3:04 PM PST | 471/472 Green Bay @ New England | New England | Question marks continue to swirl around the Patriots' receiving corps. AJ Brown did not play in last week's win over Miami and head coach Mike Vrabel wasn't overly-optimistic at Brown's outlook for this upcoming week. Mack Hollins is scheduled to come off IR this week, but it is unclear if he will actually take the field. |
| 11/02 3:04 PM PST | 455/456 Detroit @ Miami | Detroit | Lions' linebacker Jack Campbell suffered a neck injury in last week's win over the Vikings while making a tackle. On Monday, Detroit's front office announced that "preliminary indications are positive" but he continues to be monitored at a Detroit-area hospital. |
| 11/02 2:17 PM PST | 327/328 Central Florida @ Kansas | Kansas | Kansas QB Isaiah Marshall did not play in last week's loss at TCU after suffering a lower-leg injury the previous week against Baylor. Cole Ballard, who has four years of experience in the Jayhawks' program, went 20-of-35 for 285 yards against the Horned Frogs. |
| 11/02 2:11 PM PST | 415/416 Sam Houston St @ Jacksonville St | Sam Houston St | Sam Houston QB Landyn Locke is listed as questionable with an undisclosed injury. Locke was a somewhat-surprising scratch before last week's game against Missouri State as back-up DJ Bailey was thrust into the starting role. |
| 11/02 2:09 PM PST | 319/320 South Florida @ East Carolina | South Florida | South Florida QB Michael Van Buren Jr. did not finish last week's win over UAB with an undisclosed injury. Former Florida State transfer Luke Kromenhoek secured the win and he may be in line for the start this week. |
| 11/02 1:44 PM PST | 379/380 Georgia @ Mississippi | Mississippi | Ole Miss running back Kewan Lacy (5.0 yards per carry with five TDs) is not expected to return for this one as he deals with a shoulder injury. Lacy has missed two games this season, including last week's blowout win over Auburn. |
| 11/02 1:41 PM PST | 315/316 James Madison @ So Mississippi | James Madison | James Madison running back George Pettaway (6.6 yards per carry with eight TDs) missed last week's loss to Troy with a lower-body injury and he is questionable to return for this one. |
| 11/02 1:34 PM PST | 327/328 Central Florida @ Kansas | Central Florida | Keyone Jenkins suffered an ankle injury in last week's loss to Baylor, and is not expected to be cleared for this one. James Madison transfer Alonza Barnett is set to resume his original duties as Knights' starting QB before he missed five games with a hamstring injury. |
| 11/02 12:46 PM PST | 403/404 Temple @ Navy | Temple | Emerging tight end Peter Clarke suffered a broken leg in last week's loss to East Carolina. Clarke caught ten balls for 215 yards with two touchdowns over the Owls' previous two games against UConn and Charlotte before going down against the Pirates. |
| 11/02 12:42 PM PST | 381/382 Oklahoma @ Florida | Oklahoma | Oklahoma fired offensive coordinator Ben Arbuckle after last week's loss to South Carolina. Tight ends coach Jason Witten will serve as the Sooners' primary playcaller down the stretch. |
| 11/02 12:40 PM PST | 343/344 Texas @ Missouri | Missouri | Missouri running back Ahmad Hardy made his return to the field six months after getting shot in the leg. Hardy only carried the ball twice in last week's win over Arkansas, and it remains to be seen what kind of workload he will be able to handle over the next few weeks. |
| 11/02 12:38 PM PST | 343/344 Texas @ Missouri | Texas | Texas wide receiver Cam Coleman continues to struggle with injuries, namely to his shoulder. He's been unable to finish the Longhorns' last two games and he is listed as questionable once again on the early-week injury report. |
| 11/02 12:37 PM PST | 341/342 Michigan State @ Michigan | Michigan | In his Monday press conference, Michigan head coach Kyle Whittingham announced that Tommy Carr will continue to serve as the starting QB ahead of Bryce Underwood for the foreseeable future. |
