Wright made the surprise announcement on his Instagram page, saying he underwent an MRI on his tricep following the team’s Week 2 win over the Jaguars after “dealing with pain from a strain.” After playing through the pain in Weeks 3 and 4, Wright underwent another MRI, which revealed a tear that will now require surgery. The former 2022 third-round pick has totaled eight tackles, one TFL, and one sack on the season and was hoping to take a big step forward in his third season. With 2025 being a contract year, Wright will need a breakout campaign in his fourth season if he hopes to re-up with the Browns long-term.

Raimann missed Week 9 while working his way through the league’s concussionn protocol. He logged multiple full practices this week and is good to go versus Buffalo.

Pittman has been playing through his back injury for the last several weeks, but a dislocated finger he suffered in Week 9’s loss to the Vikings may have proven enough to sideline him for at least this week. His absence should lead to a busy day for Josh Downs, who has been Joe Flacco’s favorite target in their four games together.

Lattimore hasn’t practiced this week and has only been with the team for a few days. The targeted return date for the veteran corner will be Week 11 against the Eagles in the first of two divisional matchups between the NFC East rivals.

Evans was never really in line to play in this one. After going down in Week 8 with a hamstring injury, it was reported by NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport that Evans could “potentially be back after the bye.” The Buccaneers’ bye is in Week 11, meaning Week 12 is the earliest we should expect to see Evans.

Whoops. Asked about Hurts’ absence from Wednesday’s practice for “rest” purposes, Sirianni revealed Hurts is dealing with an ankle issue, even going so far as to say it was “on the injury report.” He was then “corrected” by an Eagles PR person that Hurts’ absence was “rest” related. This isn’t the first time we’ve had the Eagles misled us on Hurts’ health, but it’s also true there is zero doubt as to his Week 10 availability against the Cowboys. We suppose his effectiveness could be another matter. The Eagles will be getting a call from the league.

Collins has not practiced this week, but may get on the field in some capacity on Friday with this latest designation. With Stefon Diggs lost for the season, the Texans are desperate to have Collins back in the fold of hopes of bolstering a passing game that has struggled as of late. We’d still consider Collins a long-shot to play in Week 10 against the Lions, but the team should give us more on that before the end of the day.

Prater has been on injured reserve since October 15th. He’s not eligible to return until Week 12, meaning there’s still plenty of time for him to recover from his injury before the team can even consider activating him. Prater’s replacement, Chad Ryland, has converted on 10-of-11 field goal attempts this season and has two field goals of 50-plus yards to his name. His emergence could put the Cardinals in a tough decision once Prater is healthy enough to be activated.

With the signing of Carlson comes the release of veteran Riley Patterson, who kicked for the Jets in their Week 9 win over the Texans. Carlson, who has kicked in two games for the 49ers this season, has gone 5-for-5 on his fields goals and 3-for-4 on his extra points, with three of his field goals coming from 40-plus yards out. The Jets are still hoping to have Greg Zuerlein (knee) back at some point in the season, but it looks like it will be Carlson kicking in Week 10 against the Cardinals.

Things haven’t been great for Thielen as of late. He was limited in the team’s first two practices heading into Week 9 but was a DNP on Friday and ultimately ruled out. Thielen has not practiced ahead of the Panthers’ Week 10 game against the Giants and only has a few days left for the team to activate him from IR before ruling him out for the season. We’ll see where things go in the coming days, but things aren’t looking good for the 34-year-old vet. In addition to Thielen, the Panthers also ruled out OT Ikem Ekwonu (ankle).

The Bills’ head coach said on Wednesday that Coleman could be looking at a multi-week absence due to his injury. Speaking Friday, however, McDermott did add that he doesn’t believe Coleman’s injury will require a stint on injured reserve. Coleman did not practice this week, only adding to the likelihood that he would miss at least one game. The question now becomes whether or not he will suit up for Week 11 in a rivalry matchup at home against the Chiefs.
