Reiss tweet went on to say Ford has cleared COVID-19 testing and is now working in the team's system, according to Bill Belichick. With Julian Edelman on IR the team needs help at WR so Ford could get some looks right away and perhaps jump ahead of Byrd, according to some who follow the team.

Jake Luton remains the Jaguars’ starting quarterback.

Luton, the rookie who got his first start against the Texans, will start again this week against the Packers, Jaguars coach Doug Marrone confirmed today.

Jaguars quarterback Gardner Minshew is expected to miss at least one more game with his thumb injury. It’s unclear whether Minshew will get the starting job back once he’s healthy enough to play, the story said.

Browns coach Kevin Stefanski said TE Austin Hooper (appendectomy) will definitely be able to face Texans on Nov. 15. Stefanski said he feels good about how RB Nick Chubb (knee) and RG Wyatt Teller (calf) are progressing.

The return of Chubb isn't set in stone but it sounds like he's progressing. That would force Hunt back into a split of the workload at least. At TE, Bryant and Njoku take a hit as Hooper would return to the TE1 role. According to the tweet, we should get more updates as the Browns progress through their Week 9 bye.

Jacksonville head coach Doug Marrone said today that Gardner Minshew’s thumb injury is going to force him to sit for at least one game.

In a bit of a surprise, Marrone said it will be rookie quarterback Luton, not veteran backup Glennon, who works with the first-string offense this week. Luton, who threw 28 touchdown passes and only three interceptions at Oregon State last season, was a sixth-round pick of the Jaguars. Marrone said he thinks it’s time to see what the kid can do, according to the story. It doesn't sound like good news for Minshew and his owners. It may not be a lock Minshew returns to the starting job when healthy.

Jaguars QB Gardner Minshew is expected to be inactive for their Week 9 game against the Texans.

Looks like Minshew-mania is coming to an end. The Jaguars are expected to start either Mike Glennon or rookie Jake Luton next week, with the team on their bye this week. Minshew didn’t look terrible last week against the Chargers, but the team is now 1-6 and with their season all but lost, they’re looking to see what they could have elsewhere at the position and whether they’ll end up being in a position to draft a quarterback in April.

Vikings RB Dalvin Cook does not carry an injury designation heading into Sunday's game against the Green Bay Packers, according to Tom Pelissero of the NFL Network.

UPDATE: Cook was added to the report as questionable, but is expected to resume his normal workload according to head coach Mike Zimmer.

Big news for the Vikings offense after sputtering in the run game in Week 6. Minnesota's defense will be without their top four cornerbacks, so all offensive weapons will be needed to keep up with the Green Bay Packers.
