From NFL Now: Titans RB Derrick Henry will have foot surgery tomorrow morning and be out 6-10 weeks.

Rapoport's tweet went on to say six would be quite fast and eight is more likely. Either way, Tennessee expects Henry back this season. Six weeks may get Henry back for the start of fantasy playoffs but the eight-week mark would possibly bring him back for fantasy finals. This is a close call in redraft leagues and owners probably can't drop him just in case of a return before the season is over. In the meantime, McNichols is next up but he's more of a third down back. With about a day left until the trade deadline, it's possible the Titans make a move. Peterson has been mentioned as a free agent signing with other names like Ronald Jones and Marlon Mack being mentioned as trade candidates.

Chargers RB Austin Ekeler (hip) is questionable for Week 8 against the New England Patriots.

Ekeler was added to the injury report Thursday and has not practiced the past two days. Have another option ready - Chargers RB or other - ready for a late afternoon swap.

Titans RB Darrynton Evans was placed on IR for the second time this season, ending his 2021 campaign.

Playing back-up to Derrick Henry is not the best way to get on the field, but Evans was expected to have a role before injuries caught up to him.

WFT WRs Curtis Samuel (groin) and Dyami Brown (knee) will miss Week 8's game against the Denver Broncos. WR Cam Sims (hamstring) is questionable.

Look for Terry McLaurin and Ricky Seals-Jones to lead the team in targets with Milne and Humphries contributing.

Los Angeles Chargers running back Austin Ekeler popped up on Thursday's injury report with a hip injury.

The Chargers are coming off a bye, and Ekeler had no injury designation on Wednesday, so this appears to be a new injury for the Chargers star running back. A late-week injury is never good news, so fantasy managers will want to monitor Friday's final injury report carefully. Ekeler is our fourth-ranked running back for Week 8, thanks to a plus matchup against the New England Patriots. If he cannot go, the Chargers will be forced to deploy a committee consisting of Larry Rountree, Joshua Kelley, and Justin Jackson.

WFT WRs Terry McLaurin (ankle), Curtis Samuel (groin), and Dyami Brown (knee) did not practice Wednesday.

McLaurin will have limited practice reps each week as long as he is injured, but is expected to play. Samuel and Brown are less likely to play.

Washington Football Team WR Dyami Brown has an MRI today, but the belief is he has a minor knee injury.

Rapoport said there is no major structural issues, though he’ll likely miss next week’s game. After that is the bye, and he’ll be reassessed, according to the tweet. Of course, outside of Terry McLaurin the WFT is hurting at the WR position. Samuel can't get on the field because of a hamstring issue, leaving Humphries as the team's WR2. Sims has been struggling with a groin injury.

Titans WR Julio Jones (hamstring) and RB Jeremy McNichols (ankle) are questionable for Week 7 against the Kansas City Chiefs.

Related Players: Nick Westbrook-Ikhine, Darrynton Evans

Jones has already said he is playing, just with precautions. McNichols was supposed to have a role Week 6 prior to injuring his ankle pregame. Evans was designated to return two weeks ago and should have a role in the backfield if active.

Washington wide receiver Terry McLaurin was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.

McLaurin missed Wednesday's session with the hamstring issue but was healthy enough to log a limited session on Thursday. This is a good sign for his Week 7 outlook, but this remains a situation to monitor. He may get a questionable tag heading into this weekend's contest against Green Bay, but if he can practice tomorrow, he should be good to go. McLaurin is our 10th ranked receiver for Week 7.
