After second opinion, Cards WR Marquise Brown out indefinitely and at least a month, Kliff Kingsbury said.

Anderson, if he plays, would be very limited in Week 7, leaving the WR duties to Hopkins, Moore, Green and Dortch. Eventually Anderson should be more involved as he gets more comfortable.

Kingsbury said if Robbie Anderson plays Thursday “it will be very limited.”

Kingsbury added he wants Anderson to have a comfort level in his first snaps with Cardinals. With Brown expected out a month, that would leave Hopkins, Moore, Green and Dortch as the primary targets for Thursday night. Hopkins is just returning from his six game suspension.

Cardinals’ WR Marquise Brown suffered a potentially season-ending foot injury Sunday. He is undergoing further testing today to determine the extent of the injury.

The injury update comes on the heels of a trade for Robbie Anderson, which adds up to a dismal outlook on Brown's 2022 availability. Look for DeAndre Hopkins to absorb a ton of Kyler Murray targets.

The Carolina Panthers have traded WR Robbie Anderson to the Arizona Cardinals less than 24 hours after he was kicked off his own sideline.

Though Marquise Brown went down with a foot injury that could hold him out for a minimal amount of time, it's hard to see Anderson garnering a large role with the Cardinals. DeAndre Hopkins returns from suspension Week 7 and is guaranteed to be a target hog. Anderson should not be a waiver wire priority.

Falcons are listing tight end Kyle Pitts - who missed last week’s game due to a hamstring injury and was limited at practice this week - as questionable for Sunday’s game vs. the 49ers.

With Pitts missing Week 5, Drake London was surprisingly not used more but less, earning a 28% target share, which is less than the massive 34.7% target share he had up to that point. As for backup tight ends Parker Heese and Anthony Firkser, they combined for three targets and one reception. London is a worthwhile WR3 play whether or not Pitts is on the field, but there are no other options besides.

Did confirm that Kyle Pitts WILL be back to practice this afternoon.

The tweet added they'll keep an eye on him as the week goes on. Pitts missed practice las week before being ruled out, so this is a step in the right direction at least.

Tight end Kyle Pitts has been formally ruled out of Sunday's game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, the Falcons announced on Friday.

As reported yesterday, though Kye Pitts is a unique brand of athlete on the field, at least some of his usage would presumably fall to the tight ends behind him. None of which will operate out of the slot or out wide, but could be usable as a TE punt in DFS, namely, former Titans TE Anthony Firkser.

Per Michael, there was no Falcons TE Kyle Pitts (hamstring) at the open-to-the-media portion of practice for the second straight day.

For the sake of the Atlanta Falcons puttering pass game, let's just hope this is a minor setback.

Pitts has been missing in the Falcons offense and this is another hit for owners. Hopefully he can get back on the practice field leading up to Week 5. Hesse and Firkser are up next on the depth chart if Pitts can't go.

Cordarrelle Patterson will miss at least four games on IR; Caleb Huntley was promoted from the practice squad after his big day against the Browns.

Related Players: Caleb Huntley, Tyler Allgeier, Avery Williams

Patterson very curiously came off the sideline for one more carry on the team's last full drive after standing with his helmet off for a full quarter and a half. Maybe the team wanted to test his knee one more time, but, regardless, he has now been placed on IR, and the team will have a look at some young options behind him. At the moment, there is likely more murk in this backfield than we would want for fantasy viability; Huntley could be a between-the-20s banger, Allgeier could be more of an "every down" back, and Williams —the team's punt returner— is likely just a scat back.
