Mike MacDonald says DK Metcalf is expected to practice Wednesday.

Metcalf suffered a MCL sprain and missed weeks 8 and 9 and is coming off the bye week, so the hope is Metcalf is good to go for Week 11. It will be worth monitoring the injury and practice reports this week. The Seahawks travel to San Francisco in a later Sunday game so owners will at least want to have a plan in place just in case he's a game-time call.

The Dolphins will have star receiver Tyreek Hill when they play the Rams tonight.

Hill is officially active after he was questionable for the Week 10 contest with a wrist injury.

The story added Lisa Salters of ESPN reported on Monday that Hill underwent an MRI that showed a torn ligament in his wrist. Hill noted that he was dealing with a wrist issue during training camp that was aggravated during his detainment by police before Miami’s season opener on Sept. 8.

Sean McDermott says Bills WR Keon Coleman will not play Sunday against Kansas City.

It was possible that Coleman was going to miss multiple weeks of action with the wrist injury and that's now already confirmed. It's the second-straight week Coleman will be out. The Bills are hoping to get back Cooper this week, but if they don't Shakir and Hollins will be the top WRs with Samuel likely also involved. Hollins had a 4-86-0 line with Shakir collecting a 6-58-0 line in Week 10 against the Colts.

The Eagles listed several key players as non-participants in practice on Monday.

Tight end Dallas Goedert (ankle), wide receiver DeVonta Smith (hamstring), cornerback Darius Slay (ankle), and linebacker Nakobe Dean (groin) will be something to keep an eye on heading into Thursday’s game against the Commanders.

As the story pointed out, the listings were just estimations because the Eagles didn’t hold an actual practice a day after beating the Cowboys. The Eagles were fortunate enough to be able to rest a lot of players in the fourth quarter with the game against Dallas mostly under control. Goedert's ankle injury is new after just returning to the lineup. Be sure to monitor practice statuses of both players leading up Thursday night.

The Cowboys are sticking with Cooper Rush as their starting quarterback for Week 11, coach Mike McCarthy said Monday.

Related players: Trey Lance

McCarthy said after Sunday’s disheartening loss to the Eagles that the team would discuss starting Lance against the Texans next Monday night. A day later, McCarthy said sticking with Rush was “definitely” an easy decision because of what Rush has done in the past while replacing Dak Prescott. Rush now is 5-2 as the Cowboys’ starting quarterback, the story pointed out. The Cowboys seemed to have a package of plays for Lance, so it's possible Lance will get in the game in Week 11, but he shouldn't be in fantasy lineups.

Canales said Chuba Hubbard is good to go with his knee.
Miles Sanders is seeing a specialist for foot/ankle injury. That one doesn't sound great.

Hubbard briefly left the game after fumbling the ball while getting twisted up on a tackle. However, Hubbard walked off under his own power and returned to the game on the next possession. Sanders, meanwhile, was carted off with his injury and is probably going to miss time. The Panthers have a bye in Week 11 and one would expect Brooks to make his debut when they return in Week 12. Hubbard is fresh off a signing a big contract but the Sanders injury should allow the team to finally get a look at Brooks. Once Brooks is available, considering Hubbard's contract and Brooks' draft capital, it will be interesting to see how the team divides up work at RB going forward.

Brian Daboll asked if Daniel Jones is still the starting quarterback. Won't say yes. Only that they are "evaluating things."

Related players: Drew Lock

The Giants have a bye in Week 11 so they have some extra time to evaluate what they need to. At least in terms of fantasy, Lock probably doesn't offer much better upside for the Giants and their weapons, so a change at QB doesn't look like it will make a lot of difference for the offense and their weapons. However, it's possible the Giants do stick with Jones for their Week 12 game against the Buccaneers.

Dave Canales still mum on who will start at quarterback when the Panthers return from the bye to play the Chiefs.

Related players: Bryce Young, Andy Dalton

Young has led the Panthers to two-straight wins. The team has a bye in Week 11 and gets back into action Week 12 with a game against the Chiefs. It seems silly not to continue to see what Young can do at this point, but it looks like the Panthers are at least leaving their options open through the bye week.

After Sunday’s loss to the Bills, Colts head coach Shane Steichen said that Joe Flacco will remain the team’s quarterback “until I say otherwise.”

Steichen didn’t say otherwise on Monday. At a press conference, Steichen confirmed that Flacco will get another start when the Colts face the Jets in Week 11.

Related players: Anthony Richardson

The Colts benched Richardson in favor of Flacco two weeks ago and they’ve lost both games since the move was made, the story pointed out. Flacco was 42-of-62 for 451 yards, two touchdowns, and four interceptions in the losses to the Vikings and Bills, the story added. Richardson had his helmet on and looked like he was ready to get back on the field after Flacco threw his second INT early on against the Bills, but the Colts stuck with Flacco. It's a winnable game against the struggling Jets this week, and it looks like the Colts continue to trust Flacco more.

Audric Estime will "continue to get more reps," per Sean Payton.

Related players: Javonte Williams, Jaleel McLaughlin

Payton was encouraged with Estime's play against the Chiefs, the post added, and he was the clear lead back. Williams had just one carry while adding two catches and McLaughlin had two rushes for 12 yards. Estime can be added in any format at this point if he's still on your wire. Payton has continued to say positive things about Estime for a few weeks now, including last week when he said he'd see an increased workload.
