Dolphins QB Jacoby Brissett injured his right knee in the 3rd quarter of Thursday night's game vs. the Ravens. That's forced QB Tua Tagovailoa onto the field, despite his left finger injury. We'll update Brissett's status when we know more.

Update: Brissett has been cleared to return, according to the NFL Network broadcast crew, but Tagovailoa is in the game.

49ers RB JaMycal Hasty (ankle) did not practice on Thursday. HC Kyle Shanahan confirmed that Hasty is in danger of missing Monday night's vs. the Rams. His absence could get RBs Jeff Wilson and/or Trey Sermon on the field -- but it'd also likely mean extra passing-down work for RB Elijah Mitchell.

Dolphins QB Jacoby Brissett will start tonight's game vs. the Ravens, NFL Network's Cameron Wolfe reports. QB Tua Tagovailoa will be active as the backup, as he continues to deal with that fracture to the middle finger of his throwing hand. Wolfe adds that the Dolphins "hope" Tagovailoa will be back for next week's game vs. the Jets. Brissett is a lower-end QB2 in Week 10 fantasy lineups.

Patriots RB Rhamondre Stevenson was knocked out in the 4th quarter of Sunday's win over the Panthers with a head injury. He had a productive outing before exiting, carrying 10 times for 62 yards and caught both of his targets for 44 yards. We'll look for an update on his status on Monday.

These notable Patriots defenders who entered the weekend questionable are active for today's game against the Panthers: DT Christian Barmore (foot), DB Kyle Dugger (neck), Ja'Whaun Bentley (ribs), Dont'a Hightower (ankle), Kyle Van Noy (groin).

Eagles WR Jalen Reagor (ankle) isn’t listed on the final injury report after putting in a full practice on Friday. He’ll play on Sunday but isn’t a viable fantasy option vs. the Chargers’ top-ranked WR defense.

Eagles WR Jalen Reagor (ankle) did not practice on Wednesday. We still don't have any details on his injury, but we're not expecting him to play against the Chargers this weekend. Reagor has averaged just 4 targets per game this season, so his absence won't have a big fantasy impact.

All the defensive starters New England listed as questionable for today's game against the Chargers are active. That includes LB Ja'Whaun Bentley (ribs), DB Kyle Dugger (neck), DT Davon Godchaux (finger), LB Dont'a Hightower (ankle), LB Kyle Van Noy (groin) and DE Deatrich Wise (knee).

Eagles WR Jalen Reagor injured his ankle in the 1st half of Sunday's game vs. the Lions. He's officially questionable to return but was carted back to the locker room. We'll update his status when we know more.

Update: Reagor has been ruled out.

The Patriots rolled out their usual list of questionable starters Friday, this time including LB Ja'Whaun Bentley (ribs), DB Kyle Dugger (neck), DT Davon Godchaux (finger), LB Dont'a Hightower (ankle), LB Kyle Van Noy (groin) and DE Deatrich Wise (knee). We'll check the status for all Sunday afternoon. All of those players put in limited practices all week.

Washington RB Antonio Gibson (shin) got in a limited practice on Wednesday. It's his 1st work of any kind on a Wednesday since Week 4, so perhaps that stress fracture in his shin is improving. But Gibson remains a risky RB2 until we see his usage improve.

The Giants announced Tuesday that S Jabrill Peppers will miss the rest of the season after rupturing the ACL in his right knee. Peppers also suffered a high-ankle sprain. The 26-year-old is set to hit free agency in March, so we'll see what 2022 holds for him.

As usual, myriad Patriots defenders wound up questionable for today's game against the Jets. LB Dont'a Hightower (elbow, ankle) is inactive. All other questionable defenders are active. They include: DT Davon Godchaux (finger), DE Deatrich Wise (knee), DT Christian Barmore (shoulder), LB Ja'Whaun Bentley (ribs), S Kyle Dugger (knee), CB Jalen Mills (hamstring), S Adrian Phillips (back) and LB Kyle Van Noy (groin).

Washington RB Antonio Gibson (shin) is active for today’s game vs. the Packers. He remained limited in practice this week, although ESPN’s Adam Schefter suggested this morning that the stress fracture in Gibson’s shin is improving. He still comes with elevated risk in Week 7 fantasy lineups.

Patriots RB Rhamondre Stevenson is a healthy scratch for today's game against the Jets. New England is going back to RB J.J. Taylor alongside RBs Damien Harris and Brandon Bolden. Stevenson's absence makes Harris a slightly safer fantasy play.

Washington RB Antonio Gibson is expected to play vs. the Packers today, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports. Gibson "has shown improvement and is feeling better lately" with the stress fracture in his shin, Schefter adds. Gibson remains a risky fantasy option today after being unable to finish last week's game.

49ers RB JaMycal Hasty (ankle) will return for Sunday night's game vs. the Colts. He's been out since suffering a high-ankle sprain back in Week 2. Hasty operated as San Francisco's #2 RB -- behind Elijah Mitchell but ahead of Trey Sermon -- before going down. We'll see where he slots in the pecking order now, but Mitchell is the only viable Week 7 fantasy play in this backfield.

Washington RB Antonio Gibson (shin) is listed as questionable for this weekend's game vs. the Packers. He got in limited practices on Thursday and Friday and confirmed that he expects to play through that stress fracture in his shin on Sunday. Gibson is a high-risk fantasy play.

Washington RB Antonio Gibson (shin) returned to a limited practice on Thursday. It looks like he's going to try to again play through that stress fracture in his shin on Sunday vs. the Packers. Gibson is a high-risk fantasy play after lasting just 23 snaps last week.

Washington RB Antonio Gibson (shin) did not practice on Wednesday. It's unclear if he'll continue playing through the stress fracture in his shin on Sunday vs. the Packers. His absence would mean increased roles for RBs J.D. McKissic and Jaret Patterson.
