The Lions may not be done.
Kyler Murray misses the Vikings' Monday Night Football showdown with the Buffalo Bills in Week 9 due to a hamstring strain diagnosed after his soreness in the Week 8 loss to Detroit. Coach Kevin O’Connell confirms Murray is week‑to‑week and will sit out at least this game, with veteran Carson Wentz slated to start and rookie Max Brosmer as backup. Murray stayed in the Lions game but hurt his hamstring on a 9‑yard read‑option run. The Vikings hope he could return for the November 15 road contest against the Green Bay Packers, though no date is set.
The 49ers sit atop the NFL standings as they head into Monday Night Football against the Vikings, but the trade deadline looms and Jacksonville has already bolstered its roster with safety Jessie Bates and DT Jordan Davis. While coach Kyle Shanahan and GM John Lynch remain coy, the article notes the 49ers have targeted WR Jauan Jennings and are weighing options at defensive tackle, including a potential return of CJ West or a move for Leonard Floyd. With a strong run game but a modest pass rush, the piece asks whether San Francisco should go all‑in like the Jaguars or stick with its current core.
Arizona Cardinals quarterback Gardner Minshew may have suffered a season‑ending torn UCL after a hit in the second half of the Week 9 loss to the Seattle Seahawks (17‑3, 166 yards, 21/30). Reporters cite NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, and the team is conducting elbow tests. With backup Jacoby Brissett already traded, Carson Beck now lines up as the next option for the Week 10 showdown against the Los Angeles Rams. The Cardinals sit 3‑6 and also placed star receiver Michael Wilson on IR, while C‑Hjalte Froholdt remains in concussion protocol.
The Chicago Bears eke out a 27-24 Week 9 win over Tampa Bay, but quarterback Caleb Williams endured a nightmare, throwing four interceptions while posting 22‑of‑37 for 279 yards and two TDs. The four turnovers—half of his total from his first two seasons—almost cost Chicago a victory. Despite the critique, Williams vows to stay a “gunslinger,” saying he’ll keep throwing regardless of the picks. He remains 68.7% efficient this season with 1,546 yards, eight touchdowns, and a 7‑2 record heading into the bye week.
The New York Jets bolster their linebacker depth by signing former fourth‑round pick Mykal Walker to the practice squad hours after trading safety Andre Cisco to the Detroit Lions for a 2028 sixth‑round pick. Walker, a 2020 draftee who’s played 88 games with 30 starts and posted 31 combined tackles in 14 games last season, returns after a September release due to a calf injury. With edge rusher Will McDonald IV still seeking a trade, the Jets add experienced depth to a rebuilding roster that still hopes for a spark in the final stretch of the season.
After a 23-22 overtime win over the Browns that lifted the New Orleans Saints to 3-5, the team faces a crucial decision before the Nov. 10 trade deadline. GM Mickey Loomis, who already moved DT Davon Godchaux, is urged to trade safety Justin Reid to the Buffalo Bills for a 2027 sixth‑round pick. Reid, a former Chiefs champion, has logged 44 tackles in eight games but no interceptions and holds a PFF grade of 44.4, ranking near the bottom of safeties. The Bills, dealing with depth issues after releasing Gardner‑Johnson, could use Reid’s veteran experience, while the Saints could free up cap space and give younger players a chance.
The Kansas City Chiefs end a two‑game losing streak with a 35‑12 victory over the New York Jets, highlighted by defensive tackle Chris Jones’ historic achievement. In his 11th season, Jones records two sacks, two tackles for loss and moves into second place on the franchise’s all‑time sack list with 90.5, trailing only Derrick Thomas. He adds four combined tackles and a pass deflection. Offensively, Patrick Mahomes throws 23 of 31 for 242 yards and two TDs, while Kenneth Walker III rushes for 102 yards and a score. The Chiefs next face the Atlanta Falcons in Week 10, a game that could tie them with the Broncos for the AFC West lead.
After Kansas City’s 35-12 win over the New York Jets, kicker Harrison Butker faced a hostile home crowd after missing two late‑game field‑goal attempts (56‑yard and 51‑yard) in Week 9. With seven misses in nine weeks—the most in the NFL and a 63.2% conversion rate—Butker took responsibility, saying the boos are “part of it.” Coach Andy Reid said no roster move is imminent, even as the Chiefs added former Ravens kicker Justin Tucker to the practice squad for competition. The team now turns its focus to the upcoming matchup against the Atlanta Falcons.
The Green Bay Packers dominate the New England Patriots 45‑27 in Week 9, but star running back Josh Jacobs fractures his right ring finger early and exits after four carries. Jacobs self‑reduced the dislocation on the field, but the injury sidelines him for the rest of the game, and his availability for next week remains uncertain, though coach Matt LaFleur stays hopeful. Quarterback Jordan Love shines with 372 yards and three touchdowns, while the defense forces four turnovers. The Packers now turn their attention to a Week 10 showdown with the Minnesota Vikings at Lambeau Field, aiming to improve their NFC North standing before a Week 11 bye.
J.J. McCarthy leads the New York Giants to a 19-11 win over the Philadelphia Eagles, marking the team's fifth victory of the 2026 season. Since stepping in for Jaxson Dart, the 18‑year‑old quarterback has dropped his longtime eye‑black "war paint," a habit he began in high school and kept through Michigan and the Vikings. He first went without it in a 27‑21 OT win against Houston on Oct. 25 and now confirms the change is permanent. McCarthy left the Eagles game early with hip and rib injuries, and backup Jameis Winston stepped in. The Giants now turn their focus to the upcoming showdown with Washington.
Odell Beckham Jr. finally lands on a Vikings active roster after weeks of uncertainty. The 34‑year‑old wide receiver, released by the New York Giants after just three games, joined Minnesota’s practice squad on Oct. 7 and was promoted to the 53‑man roster on Nov. 8, according to Tom Pelissero (The Ringer). His move comes as the Vikings cope with injuries to Jauan Jennings (calf) and starter Kyler Murray (hamstring), giving veteran depth behind Justin Jefferson and Jordan Addison. Beckham, who missed all of 2025 due to a suspension, could debut against the Buffalo Bills on Monday night.
The Los Angeles Rams’ receiving corps takes another hit as Puka Nacua, the team’s reigning receptions leader, likely heads to injured reserve after a Week 9 collision that left him with PCL and MCL sprains and turf toe. Nacua could return as early as Week 15, but his absence joins Davide Adams, who remains on IR after a Week 6 hamstring rupture. With limited production from backups like Konata Mumpfield and Tutu Atwell, the Rams face a thin WR depth chart and are urged to shop for a veteran receiver before the NFL trade deadline.
The Jaguars are sending a first-round pick and more to the Eagles for DT Jordan Davis. Let's grade the trade for both NFL teams.
In March of 2024, the Chiefs were two-time Super Bowl Champions and in pursuit of an unprecedented three-peat. With a slew of decisions to make in the offseason
The Jacksonville Jaguars trade a 2027 first‑round and a 2029 second‑round pick to the Philadelphia Eagles for 26‑year‑old defensive tackle Jordan Davis. The former 13th‑overall pick, a Super Bowl ring winner, posted career‑high 72 tackles, 4.5 sacks and nine tackles for loss in 2025 and is currently logging 31 tackles and 1.5 sacks in nine starts. Jaguars defensive coordinator Anthony Campanile views Davis as a long‑term cornerstone to boost a 6‑2, AFC South‑leading defense, especially after losing Davon Hamilton. Davis, under a three‑year, $78 million extension, brings size (6‑6, 336 lb) and experience in a system similar to Jacksonville’s, signaling the team’s Super Bowl‑level ambition.

The Bengals clinch their first win outside the U.S., beating the Falcons 34-17 at Madrid’s Bernabéu to improve to 6-2 and tie Pittsburgh atop the AFC North. Joe Burrow throws for 271 yards, three TDs and runs for another, while Ja’Marr Chase adds 155 yards and a TD, sparking a debate for Offensive MVP.

Monday’s NFL moves see the 49ers bring back WR Brandon Aiyuk, while the Bills promote WR Trent Sherfield and DB Geno Stone and place WR Josh Palmer on IR. The Jaguars acquire NT Davon Godchaux from the Saints for a conditional 2028 sixth‑rounder, and the Jets add LB Mykal Walker and LB Troy Reeder before trading DB Andre Cisco to Detroit for a 2028 sixth‑round pick. Detroit flips the pick back to New York for Cisco and waives TE Jackson Meeks. The Patriots cut LB Jose Ramirez and TE Tanner Arkin. The Titans activate LB Dorian Mausi, IR James Williams, and tweak their practice squad, and the Vikings elevate DB Tavierre Thomas, IR Demond Claiborne, and sign WR Odell Beckham.
