Seahawks RB Chris Carson suffered a mid-foot sprain in Sunday night's loss to the Cardinals, HC Pete Carroll said. Carson is scheduled for an MRI on Monday to get a better look at the injury. We should learn how much time he'll miss later today. Carlos Hyde stepped in as Seattle's clear lead back after Carson exited, handling 15 of 20 RB opportunities (carries + targets).

Kenyan Drake will undergo an MRI on his injured ankle after X-rays Sunday night were negative. 
Drake was carted off in the fourth quarter of the Cardinals' loss to Seattle Sunday night. The Cards are on bye this week and take on the Dolphins in Week 9 so it's possible Drake will only miss a game or two, depending on the severity of the injury. Chase Edmonds will operate as the team's lead back if Drake misses time. Against Seattle Monday night, Edmonds had a dozen touches for 145 yards. He should be rostered in all formats.

Cowboys QB Andy Dalton has entered the league's concussion protocol. 
Dalton's status for Sunday night's game against the Eagles would be uncertain until late in the week. That means rookie QB Ben DiNucci could get the nod for Dallas in a critical divisional game. DiNucci under center would be a marked downgrade for every fantasy-relevant Cowboys player. The Eagles defense is a top Week 8 option no matter which quarterback starts for Dallas.

Seahawks RB Chris Carson has a mid-foot sprain and will have an MRI Monday. 
The results of the MRI should tell the team how much time Carson will miss. Though he returned to the sideline Sunday night against Arizona after leaving the game in the first half, Carson did not reenter the game. Carlos Hyde took over for Carson, carrying the ball 15 times for 68 yards and a touchdown. Hyde, who should be rostered in all formats, would be an RB2 candidate next week against the 49ers based on volume alone.

Cardinals RB Kenyan Drake left in the 4th quarter of Sunday night's game against the Seahawks with an ankle injury. We'll see about the severity on Monday. Arizona gets a well-timed bye in Week 8.

Cardinals WR DeAndre Hopkins (ankle) is active for tonight's game against the Seahawks. He only got in a limited practice on Friday with what HC Kliff Kingsbury called a "lingering" ankle injury. It obviously adds risk to Hopkins' profile, but he remains a strong fantasy play vs. Seattle's league-worst WR defense.

Broncos RB Phillip Lindsay sustained a concussion in the 1st half of Sunday's game against the Chiefs and is done for the day. We'll track his progress through the protocol this coming week. Lindsay's absence leaves Denver's backfield to Melvin Gordon and Royce Freeman.

Patriots WR N'Keal Harry is questionable to return against the 49ers with a head injury. 
Harry took a pop over the middle in the first quarter and appeared woozy on his way to the sideline. He does not have a catch against the Niners.

NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports the Browns fear that WR Odell Beckham suffered a major knee injury in their Week 7 win over the Bengals.
Beckham went down in pain with the knee injury and the first quarter before slowly limping his way to the locker room. He was later ruled out from returning. Beckham's counting numbers haven't been off the charts this year but did lead Cleveland in targets heading into Week 7. His 319 receiving yards were tied with Jarvis Landry for the team-lead. Rashard Higgins took over for Beckham and made the most of his opportunities. He caught all six of his targets for 110 yards in Cleveland comeback victory over Cincinnati. He could slot in as a WR4 in fantasy if Beckham is sidelined for an extended period of time.

Browns WR Odell Beckham (knee) will not return for Week 7 against the Bengals.
Beckham was previously listed as questionable with the knee injury but his reaction on the play was not promising. He limped to the locker room after laying on the field for a few minutes. Beckham was in a serious amount of pain before exiting. Cleveland only has three receivers active for this game. Jarvis Landry will take over as the top option for Baker Mayfield while Rashard Higgins and Donovan Peoples-Jones take the field for three-receiver sets.

Browns WR Odell Beckham (knee) headed to the locker room in the first quarter of the Browns' Week 7 game against the Bengals.
Beckham was injured while attempting to make a tackle after a Baker Mayfield interception. He was able to come off the field under his own power but walked to the locker room with a noticeable limp. Jarvis Landry should see an uptick in work if Beckham misses the rest of the game or any additional time.

ESPN's Adam Schefter reports Jaguars RB Ryquell Armstead will miss the remainder of the 2020 with COVID-19 complications.
It's a scary situation, one that's landed him in the hospital twice already. Ruling him out this far in advance is ominous and a reminder of how the virus can affect even the best athletes. This is the biggest scare among NFL players to date. Armstead was placed on the COVID-19 list on August 2nd.

Jets coach Adam Gase gave up playcalling duties for Week 7 against Buffalo.
Gase has called plays since taking over last year. With New York off to an 0-6 start, he'll relinquish duties to OC Dowell Loggains. The move to Loggains is unlikely to make much difference for the tanking Jets.

Fox Sports' Jay Glazer reports the Raiders "will be fined very heavily" and could have draft picks taken away because of violations of the COVID-10 rules.
Glazer added that the severity of the punishment is because Las Vegas has already been cited for breaking the rules previously. The NFL has decided to impose heavy penalties on teams that continue to skirt the rules and the Raiders are an easy team to make an example of. It's not yet known if the Raiders will lose a draft pick or what round that pick may be taken from. However, the loss of more than money should deter other teams from violating the rules.
