Cardinals QB Kyler Murray (knee) will practice on Wednesday, HC Jonathan Gannon said. Gannon added that his QB is "full go." Murray is still highly unlikely to play vs. the Seahawks this weekend, but his 2023 debut should be more than 2-3 weeks away. We'll keep you updated on his status. Murray will be a QB2 out of the gate but could certainly re-join the QB1 ranks by the end of November.

Cardinals insider Bob McManaman believes there's a "good chance" QB Kyler Murray (knee) returns to practice this week. HC Jonathan Gannon said in a Monday radio appearance that Murray is "trending in the right direction" in his recovery from last December's torn ACL. He'd figure to need at least a couple of weeks of practice before being ready to play in a game. Remember that Arizona has a brand new offense since the last time Murray took the field. But it sounds like we'll see Murray this season -- in an offense that's been better than expected so far. He's worth grabbing now if you're a QB-needy team.

Jaguars WR Zay Jones (knee) did not practice on Tuesday. He seems unlikely to play vs. the Saints on Thursday night, but we'll see how he's listed on the final injury report tomorrow.

The Cardinals have ruled S Jalen Thompson (hamstring) out for Sunday's game against the Rams. That leaves Arizona without both starting safeties, with Budda Baker (hamstring) still on IR. K'Von Wallace and Andre Chachere will start against the pass-heavy Rams.

Jaguars WR Zay Jones (knee) is out for Sunday’s game vs. the Colts. WR Calvin Ridley, WR Christian Kirk, and TE Evan Engram should continue to control Jacksonville targets this weekend.

Jaguars WR Zay Jones (knee) did not practice on Wednesday. He's considered "day-to-day" but doesn't seem like a good bet to play vs. the Colts this weekend.

Cardinals RB James Conner (knee) has been placed on IR. He'll miss at least the next four games vs. the Rams, Seahawks, Ravens, and Browns. We'll see if he's ready to play when first eligible in Week 10. Sitting 18th among RBs in PPR points, Conner is worth keeping stashed in most fantasy leagues. His absence leaves Arizona's backfield to RBs Emari Demercado, Keaontay Ingram, and Tony Jones. We broke down the situation in this week's waiver wire report.

Jaguars WR Zay Jones is considered "day-to-day" with the knee injury he suffered in Sunday's win over the Bills, according to NFL Network's Tom Pelissero. Jones has injured the same knee twice in the last four weeks. He missed two games the first time, so we're tentatively expecting him to miss at least this Sunday's game vs. the Colts. We'll track his progress throughout the week.

Cardinals RB James Conner is expected to miss "multiple weeks" with the knee injury he suffered in the Week 5 loss to the Bengals, NFL Network's Tom Pelissero reports. We'll see if Conner ends up landing on IR, which would cost him four games. His absence leaves Arizona's backfield to Emari Demercado, Keaontay Ingram, and the just-acquired Tony Jones. Ingram has missed the past two weeks with a neck injury but did get in a couple of limited practices last week. We'll see if he makes it back for Sunday's game vs. the Rams, but Demercado will be the best fantasy bet in this backfield at least for Week 6.

The Cardinals on Monday claimed RB Tony Jones Jr. off waivers from the Saints. That, of course, comes a day after RB James Conner suffered a knee injury and doesn't bode well for Conner's chances of playing in Week 6. Arizona also went without RB Keaontay Ingram in Week 5 because of a neck injury. We'll see about his availability for Sunday's game against the Rams. Emari Demercado currently stands as the best bet to lead Arizona's backfield for that one and is worth a look on waivers this week for needy fantasy teams.

Cardinals S Jalen Thompson left Sunday's loss to the Bengals with a hamstring injury less than halfway through. We'll see about his outlook for Week 6 against the Rams. Arizona will miss the other starting safety, Budda Baker, for at least one more game. He's on IR with a hamstring injury. K'Von Wallace and Andre Chachere finished Sunday as the top two safeties for the Cardinals. The duo would add upside to the Rams' deep-passing game if left to start next week.

Cardinals RB James Conner logged 6 carries for 48 yards in Week 5 vs. the Bengals before leaving in the second quarter with a knee injury. In his absence, rookie Emari Demercado put up 45 rushing yards and a TD on 10 attempts. We’ll keep an eye on Conner’s health throughout the week. Should he miss time, Demercado would be a name to consider off the waiver wire ahead of Week 6 vs. the Rams.

Cardinals RB James Conner suffered a knee injury in the second quarter of Sunday's game vs. the Bengals. He's officially questionable to return. With RB Keaontay Ingram inactive with a neck injury, Arizona is down to RB Emari Demercado.

Jaguars WR Zay Jones suffered a knee injury in the third quarter of Sunday morning's game vs. the Bills. He's officially questionable to return. Jones missed Weeks 3 and 4 with a knee injury, although it's unclear if this is related.

Jaguars WR Zay Jones (knee) is active for this morning's game vs. the Bills. Jones was working ahead of WR Christian Kirk before missing the past two games. But he remained limited in practice all week and was listed as questionable, so it's unclear how close to 100% Jones is today.

Jaguars WR Zay Jones (knee) was limited in practice all week and is listed as questionable for Sunday morning's game vs. the Bills in London. HC Doug Pederson is optimistic that Jones will be able to play, but it doesn't look like he'll be at 100%. That leaves him as a shaky Week 5 fantasy play.

Jaguars WR Zay Jones (knee) returned to a limited practice on Wednesday. He's tentatively expected back for Sunday morning's game in London vs. the Bills, but we'll monitor Jones' status over the next few days.

The Jaguars expect WR Zay Jones back from his knee injury next week, ESPN's Chris Fowler said during the London game. Jones has yet to practice since hurting his knee back in Week 2. We'll track his status this coming week.

Cardinals QB Kyler Murray (knee) is still "weeks away" from playing, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. Murray is eligible to come off the PUP list next week but isn't ready to practice yet. Murray still "wants and plans" to play this season, but Schefter believes it will be late October, "at the earliest," before we see him. This isn't a surprise after Murray tore his ACL this past December. If you've had Murray stashed on your fantasy bench, keep stashing him. But this report does mean that Murray isn't worth adding off waiver wires for at least another few weeks.

Jaguars WR Zay Jones (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday morning's game vs. the Falcons. He's yet to practice since hurting that knee in Week 2. His absence leaves a handful of targets to go around for WR Calvin Ridley, WR Christian Kirk, and TE Evan Engram.
