Bowles said Egbuka did clear concussion protocol, but the foot injury he has been dealing with for the last two weeks will officially sideline him for this week’s game against the Falcons. Hopefully this isn’t any kind of a major setback for Egbuka, who shed his non-contact jersey in Thursday’s practice and was limited in the first two practices to start the week. Ted Hurst will again operate as the Buccaneers’ primary outside target but shouldn’t be trusted as anything more than a risky WR4.

After being a DNP in each of the Eagles’ first two practices of the week, it’s far too early to be confident that Barkley will suit up on Sunday night against the Commanders. That said, his return to the field is still an encouraging sign for the Eagles, whose backfield is suddenly among the most banged up in the league. We will check back in when the Eagles announce Barkley’s Week 8 status, but it wouldn’t be surprising if this ends up being a game-time decision, which could prove frustrating for fantasy managers. We should know more on his availability in the next few hours.

Brown has now missed back-to-back practices and is at serious risk of missing Week 8’s game against the Dolphins. Brown’s knee injury was reported as a “flare-up” from a previous knee injury, which is never a good sign for a player. Brown has been dealing with injuries like this for a few years but has always found a way to play through them. While it’s possible he ends up doing so again this week, fantasy managers should begin considering other options in the event he is held out.

Tate was a DNP all week and is at risk of missing Week 8’s game against the Bengals. The team will announce his official status shortly, but if he is unable to go, Wan’Dale Robinson and Elic Ayomanor would be the early favorites to see an uptick in targets against a Bengals secondary that ranks 18th in points allowed to opposing receivers this season.

Love completed 17 of his first 20 passes, and two of those incompletions were drops. He threw a seed to Tucker Kraft for his first touchdown between defenders, found Matthew Golden wide open in the end zone for his second score — one play after Golden dropped a touchdown — and connected with Josh Jacobs for his third score of the day. The interception was a heinous decision where he didn’t see the safety, but outside of that, it was an impressive evening for the 27-year-old. Love gets zero, well, love from the run game and doesn’t have a quality offensive line, but he’s still putting up respectable numbers. He’ll look to add to those numbers in Week 9 against the Patriots in what should be a fun matchup.

Watson went to the hospital to have his chest injury examined, but obviously checked out well if the Packers were willing to reinsert him into a game where they were leading by two scores. It’s a sigh of relief for fantasy managers, as Watson has been sensational Thursday night with six catches for 100 yards in just one half thus far.

Golden got in a lone limited session in preparation for the team’s Week 8 meeting with the Panthers on a short week, ultimately able to go as he looks to continue his recent hot stretch in fantasy production. No limitation in expected role has been passed by the team, meaning Golden should be good to go for a normal workload against the Panthers. Fantasy managers can confidently insert him into Week 8 rosters as an upside WR2. Inactive for the Packers are TE Jonnu Smith, RB Kaleb Johnson, LB Zaire Franklin, G Donovan Jennings, C Sean Rhyan, and G Travis Glover.

Waddle aggravated an existing chest injury on a trick play late in the fourth quarter of Week 7. A return to the practice field, in any capacity, Thursday keeps the door open for him to be available to play the Chiefs in Week 8, although fantasy managers are likely looking for an excuse to bench the over-hyped receiver. It would be prudent to look at other viable options in a difficult matchup.

Diggs shook of the absence Wednesday with a full showing Thursday, indicating he is tracking well to suit up when the Commanders face off against the Eagles on Sunday Night Football. The tam previously indicated that Diggs’ modest role would not grow in the absence of Terry McLaurin, potentially paving the way for rookie Antonio Williams to see an increase in role and opportunity in the second half of the season. Fantasy managers will want to confirm Diggs’ status on the final injury report Friday, but it appears as if he will be available in Week 8.

Burks downgraded from a limited showing Wednesday to a “DNP” Thursday, indicating he might be headed toward an absence when the Commanders take on the Eagles on Sunday Night Football. Considering the team is already without Terry McLaurin, who was lost for the season in Week 6, this would appear to be setting up for the best chance for rookie Antonio Williams to finally break out in Washington. Fantasy managers will want to confirm the status of Burks on the team’s final injury report Friday.
