The Monday night teams have submitted their injury reports, but the most interesting development is in Minnesota, where it’s looking less likely that Stefon Diggs will be in uniform.
Diggs didn’t practice all week but on Thursday said he expects to play. But the Vikings on Friday signed Chad Beebe to their active roster. That’s probably an indication Diggs will be inactive tomorrow. If so, those picking through the scraps can think about Laquon Treadwell or Aldrick Robinson as a Week 9 fill-in receiver. I don’t think either is compelling, but pickings can be slim in a week with six teams on byes. Treadwell should catch more passes, while Robinson has more big-play ability.
As for the Monday night teams, they look pretty healthy.
Corey Davis was limited by a hamstring injury on Thursday and Friday, but he practiced fully today, and they’re not even listing him on the report. He should be fine.
For the Cowboys, their All-Pro guard, Zack Martin, is questionable with a knee injury. He didn’t practice Thursday and has been limited the last two days. It would be a blow to the offense if he didn’t play.
Dallas won’t have Tavon Austin (groin), and tight end Geoff Swaim (knee) almost certainly will be inactive. Swaim didn’t practice all week and is doubtful on the injury report.
