49ers' Mykel Williams Targets Seahawks Debut After ACL Rehab

San Francisco 49ers defensive lineman Mykel Williams is preparing for his 2026 season debut against the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday, October 11.

Lamar Jackson's Ankle Injury Casts Doubt on Ravens' Week 5 Start

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson is unlikely to play in Week 5 against the Atlanta Falcons due to an ankle injury sustained during the Week 4 victory over the Tennessee Titans. While the team initially classified the injury as day-to-day, further evaluation on Monday led NFL Media’s Ian Rapoport to report that there is only an 'outside chance' Jackson will suit up. Backup quarterback Tyler Huntley, who completed 8 of 9 passes for 63 yards in the second half of the Titans game, is expected to start if Jackson remains sidelined. Head coach Jesse Minter indicated the injury is not long-term but emphasized the need for imaging results to determine availability.

Eagles Place Tank Bigsby on IR After Core Muscle Surgery

The Philadelphia Eagles have placed running back Tank Bigsby on injured reserve following core muscle surgery, a move confirmed by NFL insider Ian Rapoport. Bigsby is expected to miss approximately six weeks, leaving the team with a severely depleted backfield as they prepare for a Week 5 game against the Jacksonville Jaguars in London. This development compounds existing concerns, as lead running back Saquon Barkley remains uncertain for the same game due to a hamstring injury sustained in the Eagles' Week 4 loss to the Los Angeles Rams. With Bigsby out and Barkley's status pending, the Eagles may be forced to rely on Will Shipley, who is the only other running back on the active roster, or elevate players from the practice squad.
