Dallas Cowboys running back Rico Dowdle missed last Sunday's loss to the San Francisco 49ers with an illness, but he's off the injury report and expected to play in Week 9 against the Atlanta Falcons.

Dak Prescott Enters Week 9 With Major Turnover Concerns

Michael Mayer Close To Returning

Las Vegas Raiders tight end Michael Mayer (personal) has been sidelined with a non-football-related issue for over a month, but head coach Antonio Pierce said that the 23-year-old is "getting close" to making his return.

Tyler Boyd Doesn't Practice On Wednesday

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Tyler Boyd (shoulder) did not participate in Wednesday's practice. The 29-year-old's status suddenly appears to be in doubt ahead of Week 9 versus the New England Patriots. Both Boyd and Calvin Ridley were non-participants during practice, leaving Nick Westbrook-Ikhine as the Titans' top healthy receiver. There's still plenty of time for […]

Tyjae Spears Limited As Week 9 Prep Begins

Tennessee Titans running back Tyjae Spears (hamstring) was a limited participant during practice on Wednesday.

Tyler Lockett Limited With Oblique Issue

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Tyler Lockett (oblique) was a limited participant in practice on Wednesday.

Now, with Travis Homer active, Herbert is the odd man […]
