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<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-twitter wp-block-embed\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n <blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Players out Sunday include Cam Newton, A.J. Green, Malcolm Brown, DeSean Jackson, Matt Ryan, Ito Smith, Will Fuller, O.J. Howard, Delanie Walker, Kerryon Johnson, Darius Slay, Sterling Shepard, Jared Cook, Tre\u2019Quan Smith, Mike McGlinchey, Patrick Mahomes, Frank Clark, Chris Jones<\/p>&mdash; Adam Schefter (@AdamSchefter) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/AdamSchefter\/status\/1188291054770032640?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">October 27, 2019<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The biggest injuries of the week are at quarterback. Matt Ryan was ruled out and Patrick Mahomes was not able to complete his miracle comeback, so Matt Schaub and Matt Moore will start for the Falcons and Chiefs, respectively. Schaub\u2019s last start came with the Ravens in 2015. Moore\u2019s was in 2017 with Miami.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Meanwhile, Cam Newton, DeSean Jackson and A.J. Green continue their extended absences. Kerryon Johnson and Will Fuller begin lengthy recoveries. Kansas City\u2019s pass rush takes a hit with the loss of Frank Clark.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>KEENAN ALLEN (LAC) A GAME-TIME DECISION, NOT OPTIMISTIC<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-twitter wp-block-embed\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n <blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Chargers\u2019 WR Keenan Allen wants to test his hamstring pre-game Sunday before making any decisions about whether he can play against the Bears, but he was not optimistic this weekend that he will be able to go against Chicago, per source.<\/p>&mdash; Adam Schefter (@AdamSchefter) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/AdamSchefter\/status\/1188304460130541569?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">October 27, 2019<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Allen practiced normally on Wednesday but missed Thursday and Friday. That\u2019s obviously not a good sign. Even if Allen is active, it\u2019s unlikely he gets a full workload.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>ALVIN KAMARA (NO) TO MISS SECOND STRAIGHT GAME<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-twitter wp-block-embed\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n <blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Saints\u2019 RB Alvin Kamara, listed as questionable for Sunday vs the Cardinals due to an ankle injury, will not play, per source. But Kamara is expected back after New Orleans\u2019 bye week next week, when the team hosts Atlanta on Nov. 10, per sources.<\/p>&mdash; Adam Schefter (@AdamSchefter) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/AdamSchefter\/status\/1188304931289272320?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">October 27, 2019<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Kamara returned to limited practice but it won\u2019t be enough to get him back in uniform this week. Latavius Murray should take over this backfield again, though the Saints may have a more pass-centric approach with the return of Drew Brees. As Schefter notes, Kamara should be back after next week\u2019s bye.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>DAVID JOHNSON (ARI) WILL BE INACTIVE<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-twitter wp-block-embed\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n <blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Cardinals RB David Johnson won\u2019t play Sunday against the Saints due to his ankle injury, per source. Johnson is expected to miss Sunday vs. Saints and Thursday night\u2019s game against the San Francisco 49ers, per source.<\/p>&mdash; Adam Schefter (@AdamSchefter) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/AdamSchefter\/status\/1188304842420375552?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">October 27, 2019<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>It has been a while since we had a clear picture regarding Johnson\u2019s health entering the weekend. Though Johnson managed to play last week (albeit very briefly) his injuries finally caught up to him. Chase Edmonds is expected to handle most of Johnson\u2019s duties, both today and Thursday night against the 49ers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>DAVANTE ADAMS (GB) TO MISS FOURTH STRAIGHT GAME<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-twitter wp-block-embed\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n <blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Packers\u2019 WR Davante Adams, listed as doubtful for Sunday night vs. the Chiefs due to turf toe, is not expected to play, per sources. But Adams is likely to return next week at the Los Angeles Chargers, per source.<\/p>&mdash; Adam Schefter (@AdamSchefter) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/AdamSchefter\/status\/1188304630607945728?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">October 27, 2019<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Adams is nearly back from turf toe but he\u2019ll need a little more time. The Packers are optimistic that this will be the last game Adams misses.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>TYRELL WILLIAMS (OAK) EXPECTED TO RETURN<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-twitter wp-block-embed\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n <blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Raiders\u2019 WR Tyrell Williams, listed as questionable for Sunday\u2019s game against the Texans due to a foot injury, is expected to play, per source.<\/p>&mdash; Adam Schefter (@AdamSchefter) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/AdamSchefter\/status\/1188304523867185154?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">October 27, 2019<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>We haven\u2019t seen Williams since Week 4 due to plantar fasciitis. He scored a touchdown in each of his four games and, despite missing Oakland\u2019s last two, he still leads their wide receiver corps in receptions, yards and touchdowns. The Raiders have mostly relied on tight ends Darren Waller and Foster Moreau in Williams\u2019 absence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>DEDE WESTBROOK (JAX) SHOULD PLAY<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-twitter wp-block-embed\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n <blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Jaguars\u2019 WR Dede Westbrook, listed as questionable for Sunday with shoulder and neck injuries, is expected to play vs Jets, per source.<\/p>&mdash; Adam Schefter (@AdamSchefter) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/AdamSchefter\/status\/1188309793305432064?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">October 27, 2019<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Like last week, Westbrook entered the weekend questionable but is expected to be available. Though not playing at 100 percent, Westbrook is still Jacksonville\u2019s most-targeted receiver.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>JOSH JACOBS (OAK) EXPECTED TO PLAY<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-twitter wp-block-embed\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n <blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\"><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/Raiders?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#Raiders<\/a> RB Josh Jacobs (shoulder) is expected to play today, while Jon Gruden said WR Tyrell Williams (foot) should be back, as well. OT Trent Brown (calf) is also expected to play, while <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/Texans?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#Texans<\/a> CB Bradley Roby (hamstring) is out for Houston.<\/p>&mdash; Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/RapSheet\/status\/1188365968327659520?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">October 27, 2019<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>There was some worry about Jacobs considering his lack of attendance at practice this week, but Jon Gruden indicated that it wouldn\u2019t matter in terms of Jacobs\u2019 availability. That\u2019s great news for the Oakland offense considering how involved he\u2019s been. He\u2019s 11th in the league in touches per game and gets the ball on 53 percent of his snaps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Get the latest NFL football odds and information&#8211;<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/betonline_ag\">follow BetOnline.ag on Twitter<\/a>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/betonline_ag\/\">BetOnline.ag on Instagram<\/a>&#8211;Follow for the latest odds, stats and information!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Every Sunday morning, the NFL\u2019s national reporters unload injury news and other tidbits to inform our gambling decisions.
