Saints' wideout Michael Thomas was added to the injury report Saturday night with an illness. He's questionable, but if I had to guess at this point, I'd say he doesn't seem likely to play...

NFL reporters occasionally have bad sources or get deliberately misled, but Schefter in general is reliable enough that that's probably how things will go. Since Evans was the No...

I'm a fan of Minshew; I like his late-round draft pick story and his quirkiness and practice habits...

There are exceptions, of course...
Concussions

Dawson Knox (who was also questionable) is active, so the Bills won’t be without both of their main tight ends.
With concussions, I generally defer to the injury report...

One of key guys who is expected to play is Lions tight end Sam LaPorta (calf). He should be fine for today.

Chicago Bears

Khalil Herbert left the Washington game with an ankle injury. I don’t think we’ll see him in Week 7 either. Roschon Johnson has been their 2nd-string back, but he’s in the concussion protocol...

Juszczyk plays on what has thus far been the league's best team (the Eagles are also 5-0, but San Francisco has got there slightly more impressively, or at least dominantly)...
Indianapolis Colt

The Packers have got fine play from their fill-in youngsters Jayden Reed and Dontayvion Wicks, and Index favorite Romeo Doubs has also been very good...

I don't think Hunt is going to come in and move ahead of the incumbent. He's an insurance policy for if Ford, too, should get hurt...
