Struggling Buccaneers quarterback Josh Freeman needed five stitches in his right thumb following a gun mishap at a local firing range on Oct. 31.

The club acknowledged the mishap on Tuesday after questions by the Tampa Tribune. Previously, the Bucs had only confirmed that Freeman had sprained his right thumb in the late stages of a 24-18 loss against Chicago at London on Oct. 23. Freeman wore a wrap on his injured thumb during the overseas flight when the Bucs returned to Tampa the next day, said team spokesman Jonathan Grella.

On Tuesday, Grella confirmed Freeman also suffered a small cut on the outside of his right thumb Oct. 31 due to an unexpected recoil while firing a gun at a range in Tampa.

Grella said Freeman received five cosmetic stitches Halloween evening at the Bucs facility. Freeman and GM Mark Dominik met the next day at Bucs headquarters to discuss the incident.

The stitches were removed a week later, according to the Bucs.

Jets WR Davante Adams misses Wednesday practice with illness and wrist soreness

Davante Adams is not practicing today, Ulbrich said. He has an illness and some wrist soreness.

Fantasy Impact:

Adams took 13 targets for 31 yards last week, which is definitely enough to make anyone feel ill. He now has 206 yards on 38 targets over his Jets tenure, for a cool 5.42 yards per target. He's definitely getting the volume, but should be considered a moderate WR2 if he suits up.

Jaguars QB Trevor Lawrence Out, Mac Jones In for Week 11

Jaguars QB Trevor Lawrence (shoulder) is out again this week, per coach Doug Pederson. Mac Jones starts again at Detroit.

Fantasy Impact:

In Mac Jones' first start, the Jaguars managed only 7 points while the quarterback took 22 pass attempts to reach a 111-0-2 stat line. This is a downgrade to all Jaguars pass-catchers, while Jones is unplayable in fantasy lineups.

Panthers RB Miles Sanders day-to-day with foot/ankle injury

Panthers RB Miles Sanders, who was carted off with a foot/ankle injury in Germany, is considered day-to-day after extensive tests and a visit with an expert, sources say.

They want the swelling to go down, and he could miss a little time. But as of now, not considered major.

Related Players: Chuba Hubbard, Jonathon Brooks

Fantasy Impact:

Even with the Panthers Week 11 bye week, it's hard to envision much of a role for Sanders moving forward, with Brooks slated to become a part of the offense after the bye. Even if Brooks doesn't see the field, Sanders shouldn't be held on any fantasy rosters right now.
