Eagles RB Miles Sanders (knee) and TE Zach Ertz (ankle) are both set for MRIs after their respective injuries during Sunday's loss to the Ravens.

Sanders was injured during a 74-yard run that was fumbled into the end zone and recovered by J.J. Arcega-Whiteside. Sanders finished with nine carries for 118 yards and had one catch for -6 yards. Ertz was targeted ten times Sunday but had just four catches for 33 yards. Glazer says the Eagles are more concerned about the status of Sanders. The Eagles are on a short week with a Thursday game coming against the Giants. It's almost certain Sanders will not play in Week 7. Boston Scott will see more work if Sanders cannot go. The Eagles' offense, as a whole, needs a spark, though Travis Fulgham (6-75-1) has been a very nice emergence.

Chargers RB Austin Ekeler was placed on Injured Reserve and be out until at least Week 8. The Chargers also added RB Kalen Ballage to their practice squad.

Ekeler's hamstring injury was deemed 'significant' when it happened, and an IR stint confirms it will cost him at least a few more weeks.

Washington Football Team WR coach Jim Hostler was asked about WR Terry McLaurin making a jump in year two. "Uh, you know, yeah, there is a little bit of a jump," said Hostler. "It just needs to be more consistent. Like all young players, the consistency needs to grow."

First time something not positive has been said about the receiver in quite some time. No doubt the league would catch up to the promising sophomore wideout, but like all great (or at least consistent) players, improving is a must. McLaurin is a borderline WR2 ahead of a matchup with Jalen Ramsey and the L.A. Rams.

According to JP Finlay on Twitter, Washington star wide receiver Terry McLaurin returned to practice on Thursday.

It appears that McLaurin was given a rest day on Wednesday after a busy afternoon against the Baltimore Ravens physical defense in Week 4. The bigger concern here is McLaurin's chemistry with quarterback Kyle Allen for Week 5. Haskins and McLaurin played together at Ohio State, with Haskins personally lobbying for the wideout. They have developed a solid on-field rapport on both levels and surprised many by being able to post a 10 reception line on 14 targets against the best cornerback trio in the NFL. McLaurin is our 12th ranked receiver for Week 5.
