The Dallas Cowboys placed offensive lineman Cam Erving on the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Monday, but he hasn’t tested positive but isn’t feeling well, according to a source. As we enter the cold and flu season, it’s part of the NFL protocols that are expected to become more of a factor for teams and players. Anyone with symptoms of COVID-19 will be held out as a

New York Jets head coach Adam Gase says that he isn’t going to let someone else call the plays for the 0-6 Jets, saying that play-calling is “Step 10” for the team and that they are currently still on Step 2. It’s not a surprise that Gase is being stubborn about this issue, as he’s likely feeling immense pressure to turn things around on his

Kansas City Chiefs offensive tackle Mitchell Schwartz (back) is active for Monday’s game against the Buffalo Bills. Schwartz will help bolster the Kansas City offensive line, preventing there from being a downgrade to the team’s production that could have come if Schwartz was out. Meanwhile, tight end Ricky Seals-Jones is active for the first time this season, though we don’t expect to see much from

Buffalo Bills rookie running back Zack Moss (toe) is active for Monday’s game against the Kansas City Chiefs. T.J. Yeldon is inactive, suggesting that Moss is good to play at least somewhat of a role against K.C. Wide receiver John Brown (knee) is also active and should see plenty of playing time, though he is likely to trail behind Stefon Diggs and Cole Beasley in

Buffalo Bills defensive end Trent Murphy and defensive tackle Harrison Phillips are expected to be healthy scratches on Monday against the Chiefs, according to sources. Defensive end Bryan Cox Jr. and defensive tackle Justin Zimmer have been elevated from the practice squad. The shakeup comes a week after the Bills failed to sack Titans quarterback Ryan Tannehill in their Week 5 loss. Rookie A.J. Epenesa

The Dallas Cowboys moved linebacker Leighton Vander Esch (collarbone) to the active roster on Monday and placed quarterback Dak Prescott (ankle) on Injured Reserve in a corresponding move. Vander Esch, who broke his collarbone in Week 1, is expected to play on Monday night against the Cardinals. It’s great news for a Cowboys Defense that has been one of the worst through five weeks of

“Out of an abundance of caution,” the Carolina Panthers will work virtually Monday and Tuesday because of an unconfirmed positive COVID-19 test. The team is “scheduled to operate on our regular itinerary on Wednesday,” the team said in a statement. It’s unknown if the test came from players, coaches or non-football personnel. The Panthers are scheduled to face the Bears in Week 7. As of

The Las Vegas Raiders are placing rookie cornerback Damon Arnette on the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Monday, according to a source. No other Raiders players or personnel have tested positive, and Maurice Hurst, the lone player previously on the COVID-19 list, has been cleared to return to practice this week. Arnette, a first-round pick, was already on Injured Reserve after he had thumb surgery. The 24-year-old

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Zach Ertz (ankle) is expected to miss three to four weeks after suffering an ankle injury in the Week 6 loss to the Ravens, according to sources. The good news is the Eagles have their bye in Week 9, so Ertz may end up only missing two games for his fantasy managers. However, it’s a big blow to an offense that

The Philadelphia Eagles expect running back Miles Sanders (knee) to miss their Thursday night game this week against the Giants. The injury could also keep Sanders out the following week against the Cowboys, so you’ll need to have a backup plan if you roster him. The 23-year-old left in the second half of the Week 6 loss to the Ravens and didn’t return. With Sanders

Tennessee Titans tight end Jonnu Smith (ankle) is dealing with a “minor” ankle sprain and is expected to be questionable for Week 7 against the Steelers, according to a source. The Titans are going to need all of their offensive weapons in a battle of undefeated squads next Sunday, so Smith’s practice status this week will be one to watch closely. Smith left the game

Tennessee Titans left tackle Taylor Lewan (knee) revealed on his Twitter account that he suffered a torn ACL in the Week 6 overtime win over the Texans. The three-time Pro Bowler will be forced to miss the rest of the season, which is obviously bad news for Tennessee’s offensive line and quarterback Ryan Tannehill as they look to stay undefeated. Lewan’s injury could cause a

Cleveland Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski said that quarterback Baker Mayfield (ribs) is sore after the Week 6 loss to the Steelers, but nowhere near sore like he was last Monday. Mayfield was pulled late in the blowout loss to the division-rival Steelers, but Stefanski said that Mayfield will remain the starter if he’s healthy. We’ve seen positive glimpses this year from the 25-year-old signal-caller,

Not much was expected from a Denver Broncos Defense missing most of their key playmakers in a Week 6 matchup on the road against quarterback Cam Newton and the Patriots. But Denver’s D slowed down Newton and allowed their offense to win the game with six field goals from kicker Brandon McManus in the 18-12 victory. Turnovers were key for a team that had struggled

Denver Broncos kicker Brandon McManus blew up for any fantasy managers that started him in Week 6, as he nailed all six of his field-goal attempts on Sunday. With the Broncos offense failing to put the ball in the end zone all day, McManus’ leg accounted for all of the team’s points in the 18-12 upset victory. The 29-year-old hit field goals from 45, 44,

Denver Broncos rookie wide receiver Jerry Jeudy caught just two of his five targets for 32 scoreless yards in the team’s Week 6 upset win over the Patriots by a score of 18-12. Jeudy was third on the team with his five targets, seeing one less look than rookie tight end Albert Okwuegbunam, who was making his NFL debut. The Alabama product will have much

Denver Broncos rookie tight end Albert Okwuegbunam saw the field for the first time in his NFL career on Sunday against the Patriots and caught two of his six targets for 45 yards in the 18-12 win. With Noah Fant (ankle) inactive, the rookie tight end was the preferred choice for quarterback Drew Lock over tight end Nick Vannett, who caught his only target for

Denver Broncos wide receiver Tim Patrick went over the 100-yard mark for the second straight week in the 18-12 upset win over the Patriots in Week 6. Patrick caught four of his team-leading eight targets for a team-high 101 yards on the day. It has certainly helped that tight end Noah Fant has been hampered by an ankle injury and missed all of the Week

Denver Broncos running back Royce Freeman served as the backup to Phillip Lindsay in the Week 6 win over the Patriots, as Melvin Gordon III was inactive with a non-COVID-19-related illness. Freeman had a season-high eight carries for 26 yards and caught his lone target for four yards in the 18-12 victory. It was nice that the 24-year-old saw a bit more work, but he

Denver Broncos running back Phillip Lindsay took advantage of Melvin Gordon III (illness) sitting out of the Week 6 contest against the Patriots on Sunday, running the ball 23 times for 101 yards in the 18-12 win on the road. Lindsay wasn’t involved at all in the passing game, but it was a nice surprise performance since it was his first game action since suffering
