Doctson has been activated to the Vikings’ 53-man roster. The Vikings will be without star WR Adam Thielen
As reported by: Minnesota Vikings Other tagged players: Adam Thielen, Stefon Diggs
Paul Richardson (Hamstring) and Vernon Davis (Concussion) Out Sunday
Richardson will miss his first game of the season, while Davis will miss his 6th straight game. Jeremy Sprinkle remains the top TE, while Richardson’s 4-5 targets per game should provide a modest boost to the remaining Redskins’ receivers.

Trey Burton and Adam Shaheen have both been ruled out for Sunday, giving Ben Braunecker a boost as the Bears top TE. David Montgomery is questionable but considered likely to play this week.

Knox did not practice Thursday, but was able to fully practice Friday and is cleared to play Sunday. He does not carry an injury designation, so expect him to handle his normal workload.
As reported by: Buffalo Bills PR Other tagged players: Tyler Kroft, Josh Allen Mike Davis Will Not be Active Sunday for Panthers
Mike Davis was picked up by the Panthers Monday, but he will not be active Sunday. Even if healthy, there are few touches available behind Christian McCaffrey.
As reported by: Joe Person Other tagged players: Christian McCaffrey Jacoby Brissett Confirmed as Starter Sunday
Brissett made it through the week of practice without a setback, meaning the QB will return to starting for the Colts Sunday. The Colts could only muster four field goals with QB Brian Hoyer last week against the Dolphins, so Brissett’s return is much needed. It is worth noting that Brissett and the Colts will be without starting WRs T.Y. Hilton and Parris Campbell.
As reported by: Dan Graziano Other tagged players: Brian Hoyer Parris Campbell (Hand), T.Y. Hilton (Calf) Ruled Out Sunday
The Colts are without WRs Campbell and Hilton Sunday, meaning Zach Pascal and Chester Rogers will have increased opportunities once again. The Colts’ offense struggled last week but will be boosted by the return of Jacoby Brissett.

Thielen will miss his second straight game Sunday with a hamstring injury. The Vikings’ passing game struggled last week vs Dallas, with RB Dalvin Cook leading the team with 7 targets.

The Eagles intend to sign free agent RB Jay Ajayi. He spent time during the 2017 and 2018 seasons with the Eagles, so he should be able to play quicker than a typical free agent.
As reported by: Ian Rapoport Devonta Freeman and Austin Hooper Ruled Out Sunday
Both Freeman and Hooper have been ruled out Sunday for the Falcons. Jaden Graham and Luke Stocker will get increased looks at TE, while Brian Hill is in line to be the top back for Atlanta this week.
As reported by: William McFadden Other tagged players: Austin Hooper, Jaeden Graham, Luke Stocker, Brian Hill, Kenjon Barner, Qadree Ollison A.J. Green (Ankle) Out Sunday
As expected, Green has been ruled out Sunday. He suffered a setback last week and his status for the rest of the season is in doubt.
As reported by: Geoff Hobson Myles Garrett Suspended for at Least the Rest of the Season
Browns defensive end Myles Garrett has been suspended for at least the rest of this season, the result of his actions at the end of the Browns’ Thursday night game against the Steelers. Garrett swung a helmet at the head of the helmet-less Mason Rudolph. Garrett is one of their best defenders, leading the team with 10.0 sacks on the season. This will downgrade the Browns’ defense for the rest of the year.
As reported by: Greg Auman Matthew Stafford (Back) Out Sunday vs Dallas
Stafford will not play Sunday, giving Jeff Driskel a second start. Coach Matt Patricia initially said he did not anticipate Stafford playing this week, then shortly after that said there was no scenario where Stafford will play this week.
As reported by: Dave Birkett Other tagged players: Jeff Driskel Jordan Howard (Shoulder) Suffered a Stinger Last Game, Not Yet Cleared for Contact
Howard suffered a stringer late last game, and he has not yet been cleared for contact. However, the Eagles are not ruling him out, indicating that he could play this week even if he doesn’t practice. Darren Sproles has already been ruled out for the season, so Howard and Miles Sanders are the two proven RB options for the Eagles currently.
As reported by: Jeff McLane Other tagged players: Miles Sanders Darren Sproles (Hip Flexor) Done For the Season
Sproles had been able to practice earlier this week, but he apparently suffered a torn hip flexor at some point. His season is over, and the Eagles are having some depth issues are RB. Jordan Howard is questionable for Sunday, meaning Miles Sanders could be leaned on heavily this week.
