Here are some of the top news items and what they mean.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>PLAYERS RULED OUT<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Players out for Sunday include Alvin Kamara, Drew Brees, Jared Cook, Davante Adams, Darnell Savage, Tyrell Williams, Chris Thompson, Sterling Shepard, Parris Campbell, A.J. Green, William Jackson, Dre Kirkpatrick, DeSean Jackson, Darren Sproles, Jason Peters, Will Dissly.<\/p>&mdash; Adam Schefter (@AdamSchefter) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/AdamSchefter\/status\/1185731506028896256?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">October 20, 2019<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Drew Brees is improving but it will be at least another week. Alvin Kamara, after being a close call last week, won\u2019t go this week. The bye wasn\u2019t enough for Tyrell Williams to get over his plantar fasciitis. A.J. Green was possibly going to return, but he has &#8220;a little ways to go.\u201d DeSean Jackson will sit for the fifth straight week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Though not mentioned in the tweet, Josh Gordon is not expected to suit up for the Patriots on Monday night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>PLAYERS BACK<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Players returning to action Sunday include RB Saquon Barkley, TE Evan Engram, RB Devin Singletary, CB Jalen Ramsey, RB Todd Gurley, OT Tyron Smith.<\/p>&mdash; Adam Schefter (@AdamSchefter) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/AdamSchefter\/status\/1185731277095395330?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">October 20, 2019<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Giants obviously get the biggest boost with the return of Saquon Barkley and Evan Engram. The Rams\u2019 Todd Gurley and Jalen Ramsey have recovered enough to play (if Ramsey was ever injured to begin with). Devin Singletary could feast against the Dolphins and Tyron Smith should help Dallas get back on track.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>MORE GOOD NEWS FOR THE COWBOYS<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Five Cowboys listed as questionable \u2013 Amari Cooper (thigh), Randall Cobb (back), Tyron Smith (ankle), La\u2019el Collins (knee), Byron Jones (hamstring) \u2013 all are expected to play tonight against the Eagles, per sources.<\/p>&mdash; Adam Schefter (@AdamSchefter) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/AdamSchefter\/status\/1185779211711275008?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">October 20, 2019<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Smith won\u2019t be the only injured player to return. Amari Cooper\u2019s status was up in the air all week and his return is especially welcome.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>DEDE WESTBROOK (JAX) IS \u201cLIKELY TO PLAY\u201d<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Jaguars\u2019 WR Dede Westbrook, listed as questionable for today\u2019s game against the Bengals, is likely to play but team first wants to check him out in warmups to make sure, per source.<\/p>&mdash; Adam Schefter (@AdamSchefter) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/AdamSchefter\/status\/1185779312974290946?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">October 20, 2019<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>DJ Chark is leading Jacksonville\u2019s receiving corps by a wide margin, though Westbrook has been solid in his own right. He still needs to get through warmups and late-week injury report additions are always worrisome.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>DAVID JOHNSON (ARI) EXPECTED TO PLAY<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Cardinals\u2019 RB David Johnson, listed as questionable for today\u2019s game against the Giants due to an ankle injury, is expected to play, per source.<\/p>&mdash; Adam Schefter (@AdamSchefter) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/AdamSchefter\/status\/1185779446973980672?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">October 20, 2019<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For the second straight week, Johnson is a close call and a game-time decision. Also for the second straight week, Adam Schefter announces Johnson will play well before inactive players are announced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>MITCHELL TRUBISKY (CHI) TO RETURN AGAINST NEW ORLEANS<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Bears\u2019 QB Mitchell Trubisky, listed as questionable for today\u2019s game against the Saints due to a shoulder injury, will play, per sources.<\/p>&mdash; Adam Schefter (@AdamSchefter) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/AdamSchefter\/status\/1185779531711504384?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">October 20, 2019<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Trubisky missed most of Week 4, all of Week 5 and had the Week 6 bye to get healthy. He practiced fully every day this week so he should be back in the starting lineup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>SOME OPTIMISM FOR GREEN BAY RECEIVERS<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\"><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/Packers?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#Packers<\/a> WR Marquez Valdes-Scantling (ankle, knee) is listed as questionable, but he is hopeful he can go, source said. WR Geronimo Allison (concussion\/chest) was upgraded to questionable and is now a game-time call.<\/p>&mdash; Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/RapSheet\/status\/1185830259582590976?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">October 20, 2019<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Marquez Valdes-Scantling and Geronimo Allison are both questionable which, as Ian Rapoport notes, is an upgrade for Allison. Green Bay will need them with Davante Adams already out. If all three can\u2019t go, Allen Lazard and Jake Kumerow are expected to be Aaron Rodgers\u2019 top targets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">JUSTIN HOUSTON (IND) EXPECTED TO PLAY<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\"><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/Colts?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#Colts<\/a> DE Justin Houston, who tweaked his calf earlier in the week, is expected to play today, source said.<\/p>&mdash; Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/RapSheet\/status\/1185830763163504640?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">October 20, 2019<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Houston had his best game of the season against his former team last week. His presence will help against Deshaun Watson.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>XAVIEN HOWARD (MIA) SHOULD RETURN<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\"><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/Dolphins?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#Dolphins<\/a> CB Xavien Howard, questionable with a knee injury in their game against the <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/Bills?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#Bills<\/a>, is expected to play today, source said.<\/p>&mdash; Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/RapSheet\/status\/1185831769620148226?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">October 20, 2019<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We haven\u2019t seen Howard since Week 4 against the Chargers.
