NFL News — September 10, 2026
ATLANTA FALCONS
QB Tua Tagovailoa suffered an oblique injury during Thursday’s practice and was limited. Cooper Rush took the remaining first-team repetitions.
Market note: This is today’s most important practice development. Rush would start against Pittsburgh if Tagovailoa cannot play.
SEATTLE SEAHAWKS
QB Sam Darnold’s MRI showed no significant structural damage to his hip. The injury is muscular, but Darnold is expected to miss Week 2 against Arizona. The Seahawks have not announced a firm recovery timeline.
Market note: Drew Lock is expected to start against the Cardinals.
NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS
WR A.J. Brown is believed to have suffered a high-ankle sprain against Seattle. X-rays were negative, and the MRI will determine the length of his absence.
Market note: Brown is New England’s No. 1 receiver. Mack Hollins and Kyle Williams would receive expanded roles if he misses time.
NEW YORK GIANTS
WR Malik Nabers practiced fully again Thursday but would not commit to playing against Dallas. Nabers said the final decision will be based on what is best for his body and career.
Market note: His practice participation is encouraging, but his availability and potential workload remain uncertain.
NEW ORLEANS SAINTS
DE Cam Jordan will not play against Detroit because of a hamstring injury. This will be only the third missed game of his 15-year career.
Market note: A meaningful loss for the Saints’ pass rush against Jared Goff and Detroit’s offensive line.
KANSAS CITY CHIEFS
Starting LT Josh Simmons remained out with a back injury, and starting S Chamarri Conner remained out with a knee injury. Rookie Kahlil Benson is preparing to start at left tackle if Simmons cannot play. QB Patrick Mahomes is cleared to start and plans to wear a protective knee brace.
Market note: Kansas City’s left-tackle situation is the primary concern against Denver’s pass rush.
CINCINNATI BENGALS
Starting CB DJ Turner was added to Thursday’s report as limited with a hamstring injury. DE Shemar Stewart was downgraded from full to limited with a knee injury. WR Tee Higgins said he is 100 percent healthy and ready for Sunday.
Market note: Turner’s Friday status is important against Tampa Bay’s passing offense.
CHICAGO BEARS
WR Rome Odunze returned to practice on a limited basis after missing Wednesday. Backup QB Tyson Bagent remained out with a back injury, while S Xavier Woods was added as limited with a groin injury.
Market note: Odunze is trending positively, but Friday’s designation will determine whether he enters Sunday with a workload concern.
PHILADELPHIA EAGLES
EDGE Jonathan Greenard remained limited with a pectoral injury and said he is not yet 100 percent. Greenard does not know whether he will play Sunday. TE Eli Stowers also remained limited with a hamstring injury.
Market note: Greenard’s availability would materially affect Philadelphia’s pass rush against Washington.
WASHINGTON COMMANDERS
Starting DT Daron Payne was added to Thursday’s report as limited with a knee injury. RB Bill Croskey-Merritt, EDGE Odafe Oweh and EDGE K’Lavon Chaisson also remained limited.
Market note: Payne is the new concern. His Friday participation will be important against Philadelphia’s rushing attack.
BALTIMORE RAVENS
WR Zay Flowers was estimated as a full participant Thursday after being limited Wednesday. DT Nnamdi Madubuike, LB Teddye Buchanan and WR Devontez Walker remained limited.
Market note: Flowers is trending toward playing. Madubuike remains the more important defensive situation to monitor Friday.
GREEN BAY PACKERS
Starting LT Jordan Morgan was upgraded from limited to full participation. DL Warren Brinson and LB Ty’Ron Hopper missed practice for the second consecutive day.
Market note: Morgan’s upgrade is significant positive news for Green Bay’s offensive line.
MINNESOTA VIKINGS
S Jakobe Thomas returned to practice on a limited basis after missing Wednesday with an illness. S Harrison Smith practiced fully for the second consecutive day.
Market note: Minnesota’s secondary is moving in the right direction before facing Green Bay.
LOS ANGELES CHARGERS
CB Deane Leonard remained out. RB Keaton Mitchell, WR Brenen Thompson and EDGE Tuli Tuipulotu remained limited. EDGE Khalil Mack and S R.J. Mickens were full participants.
Market note: Tuipulotu is the most important name to monitor, while Mack’s return was expected after a scheduled rest day.
CLEVELAND BROWNS
Starting RG Teven Jenkins did not practice Thursday after leaving Wednesday’s session. Austin Barber is preparing as the possible replacement against Jacksonville.
Market note: Jenkins’ absence would weaken Cleveland’s interior protection.
ARIZONA CARDINALS
Starting CB Garrett Williams said he could return Sunday, less than nine months after tearing his Achilles. His final status remains undecided.
Market note: Williams’ return would provide an important boost against the Chargers’ passing game, but his workload could be managed.
SAN FRANCISCO 49ERS
The 49ers placed DT Alfred Collins on injured reserve and elevated DL Ogbo Okoronkwo and WR KhaDarel Hodge for tonight’s game. Rookie DT James Thompson Jr. is expected to play.
Market note: San Francisco enters tonight with reduced defensive-line depth.
MIAMI DOLPHINS
Rookie WR Chris Bell will play against Las Vegas without a snap-count restriction after completing his recovery from a torn ACL.
Market note: Bell is expected to have an immediate role in Miami’s receiving rotation.
