×Last updated: October 15, 2026, 10:33 PM ET
Broncos and Seahawks
Denver took the lead over Seahawks on Thursday night after running back Dobbins punched in a rushing touchdown. Seattle will be without starting linebacker Drake Thomas, who is sidelined for the matchup, while running back Zach Charbonnet also remains out. Fleury, the rookie playcaller, has drawn attention as he takes over the reins of the Super Bowl champion offense.
Broncos Offense
Jaylen Waddle has struggled to produce since arriving in Denver, managing just 204 receiving yards through five games. His slow start stands in contrast to the expectations that came with his big offseason addition.
London Game Preview
Houston will face Jacksonville in London without two key starters, as running back David Montgomery is ruled out with a groin injury and safety Jalen Pitre is sidelined with a shoulder issue.
Quarterback Injuries
Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts has been ruled out for Sunday's game against Carolina after being diagnosed with a blood clot in his calf. Bears quarterback Caleb Williams reached another milestone in his hamstring recovery but said he does not yet know whether he will play, describing the injury as serious.
Patriots Updates
New England receiver A.J. Brown said his status for Sunday's game against the Jets remains still up in the air as he manages his recovery.
Raiders and Cardinals
Raiders running back Ashton Jeanty says he is ready to go after battling ankle and foot injuries. In Arizona, running back Jeremiyah Love sat out practice Wednesday as the team's coach said rest was vital for his ankle, and fantasy analysts have flagged him as a potential bust while teammate Kendrick Bourne is viewed as a sleeper.
Saints and Cowboys
New Orleans quarterback Tyler Shough said Wednesday he shares the frustration of owner Gayle Benson. In Dallas, a players-only meeting called by the defense drew criticism from Mike Tomlin, but coordinator Schottenheimer dismissed the critique.
Packers Legal Matter
Packers running back Josh Jacobs has filed a civil suit seeking to block the release of records and video related to an altercation with a woman.
Shooting Arrests
Four men have been arrested in connection with the February shooting of 49ers defensive lineman Keion White.
Chiefs Pass Rush
Kansas City has not recorded a sack since Week 1 and entered this week ranked 27th in pass rush win rate, yet the team says it still has faith in its ability to finish strong.
Hot Seats and Fantasy
Analysts have ranked the league's most pressured coaches and players, asking what now for Mike McDaniel and whether the Commanders or Eagles should consider a coaching change. For fantasy managers, Tony Pollard is an upgrade to consider this week, while Trevor Lawrence is a player to fade.
Eagles Slump and Draft Outlook
Philadelphia is mired in a three-game slide, with insiders also tracking the three remaining unbeaten teams. Mel Kiper unveiled his 2027 Big Board, ranking seven quarterbacks among the top 25 prospects.
Entertainment and Remembrance
The NFL-backed drama series "The Land" released a trailer that puts the Cleveland Browns in the spotlight, created by Dan Fogelman. The league also marked the passing of Jon Morris, a former AFL and NFL center who spent 11 seasons with the Patriots, dying at 84.
