The Giants fired OC Jason Garrett. His squad ranked 31st in both total yards and points in 2020. This year's Giants currently sit 23rd in yards and 25th in points. Garrett was strapped with an uneven QB, a bad offensive line and lots of skill-position injuries -- but his offense never showed the slightest hint of creativity. Freddie Kitchens is expected to take over as interim OC, according to The New York Post's Ryan Dunleavy. Kitchens struggled as Browns HC in 2019 but did spark the offense after taking over as OC midway through the 2018 campaign. We don't expect a big rebound from the Giants the rest of the way, but Kitchens can only be an upgrade over Garrett.
Texans DE Jonathan Greenard (foot) isn't traveling with the team for Sunday's game at Tennessee and has been downgraded to out.
Texans DE Jonathan Greenard (foot) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Titans. He put in limited practices all week. We'll see about his status Sunday morning.
Packers RB Aaron Jones (knee) is out for Sunday’s game against the Vikings. We’ll see if he can make it back for Week 12, but a Week 14 return -- after a Week 13 bye -- seems most likely. RB A.J. Dillon should get heavy volume this weekend.
Packers RB Aaron Jones is expected to miss 1-2 weeks with a "mild" MCL sprain, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports. It's just about the best news possible after Jones appeared to suffer a significant injury in the win over Seattle. Green Bay has a Week 13 bye, so the most likely scenario has Jones missing the next 2 games vs. the Vikings and Rams before returning in Week 14. He's worth hanging on to in fantasy football. RB A.J. Dillon, meanwhile, will be an easy top-20 RB while Jones is out.
NFL Network's Ian Rapoport confirms that Packers RB Aaron Jones is expected to miss "some time" with his MCL injury. He's scheduled for an MRI on Monday. Rapoport went on to say Jones could miss "a couple weeks" but also mentioned that IR could be an option. We should have a better idea of Jones' timeline for return by the end of today. A.J. Dillon will be a strong fantasy starter for however long Jones is out.
The Packers believe RB Aaron Jones sprained his MCL in the win over Seattle, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports. Jones is scheduled for additional testing on the injured knee. A sprained MCL would be relatively good news but would still likely cost Jones games. We should learn more tomorrow. RB A.J. Dillon will be a strong fantasy play for however long Jones is out.
Packers RB Aaron Jones injured his knee in the 2nd half of Sunday's game vs. the Seahawks. He limped off the field and is officially questionable to return. Stay tuned for an update.
Update: Jones has been ruled out.
The Panthers are not expecting to get QB Sam Darnold (shoulder) back this season, a source tells ESPN's Adam Schefter. HC Matt Rhule said earlier this week that Darnold could be back in 4-6 weeks, but it sounds like that was optimistic. QB Cam Newton is expected to start Week 11 and will likely be under center the rest of the season.
The Panthers placed QB Sam Darnold (shoulder) on IR. He'll miss at least the next 3 games but is expected to be sidelined for 4-6 weeks. Carolina gave QB Cam Newton $4.5 million guaranteed for the rest of this season, so don't be surprised if Darnold doesn't get the starting job back.
Panthers QB Sam Darnold (shoulder) will be placed on IR and is expected to miss 4-6 weeks, HC Matt Rhule said Wednesday. Darnold's injury is not believed to be season-ending, Rhule added, but he can be dropped in all 1-QB fantasy leagues. QB P.J. Walker is slated to start while Darnold is out, with QB Matt Barkley backing him up.
Tests have revealed a fractured scapula in the right shoulder of Panthers QB Sam Darnold, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Darnold is expected to miss "several weeks" with the injury, which Tom Pelissero reports is an "incomplete" fracture. P.J. Walker figures to step in, and Carolina also added Matt Barkley this week. A struggling Panthers offense isn't looking up.
Panthers QB Sam Darnold is considered "day to day" with a shoulder injury after a Monday MRI, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. HC Matt Rhule wouldn't commit to a Week 10 starting QB when asked Monday. “I’d have to see him on Wednesday and see. What does his health look like?," Rhule said of Darnold. We'll keep an eye on the situation, but neither Darnold nor QB P.J. Walker should be in your Week 10 fantasy plans.
The Vikings placed S Harrison Smith on the COVID list this morning, meaning he'll miss the game against the Ravens. We'll see about Smith's status for Week 10.
Panthers QB Sam Darnold (shoulder) is active for today’s game against the Patriots. He cleared the concussion protocol but will still be playing through the shoulder injury. Darnold, of course, was struggling even prior to that injury and can’t be trusted in Week 9 fantasy lineups.
Panthers QB Sam Darnold has cleared the concussion protocol. NFL Network's Tom Pelissero reports that he's still a game-time decision for Sunday against the Patriots, though, because of the shoulder injury. P.J. Walker would start if Darnold can't go. We're hoping you don't need either for your fantasy football lineups.
Update: ESPN's Jeremy Fowler reports that Darnold is "expected to start."
Updating a previous item, Panthers QB Sam Darnold (concussion, shoulder) is listed as doubtful for Sunday's game against the Patriots. QB P.J. Walker is in line to make his 2nd career start. He went 24-of-34 for 258 yards, 1 TD and 2 INTs in a Week 11 start vs. the Lions last year. Walker has gone 3-for-15 for 33 yards in relief of Darnold this season. As poorly as Darnold has played lately, Walker will likely be a downgrade for this offense.
Panthers QB Sam Darnold (concussion, shoulder) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game vs. the Patriots. He was limited in practice all week. HC Matt Rhule said Friday that Darnold still has the clear the concussion protocol and that the shoulder injury is as big an issue as the concussion. We're still expecting QB P.J. Walker to get the start this weekend, but we'll keep you updated on the situation.
Panthers QB Sam Darnold (concussion, shoulder) remained limited in Thursday's practice. NFL Network's Mike Giardi hears that Darnold's shoulder injury is as much of a concern as the concussion. We continue to expect QB P.J. Walker to start Sunday's game vs. the Patriots.
Panthers QB Sam Darnold was officially limited in Wednesday's practice with a concussion and shoulder injury. HC Matt Rhule said Darnold was "extremely limited," which doesn't make it sound like he'll be ready for Sunday's game vs. the Patriots. Look for QB P.J. Walker to start that one.
