With Devin Singletary also on the roster and the trade deadline still a few days away, it will be interesting to see how the Giants handle Week 9 and beyond heading towards the November 4 deadline.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

It is a brutally physical sport that often leads to players being hurt. Week 8 of the 2025 NFL season was no exception. Savvy fantasy football managers understand the importance of following injury reports to make the most well-informed roster decisions each week.</p><p>So, I am tailoring this column through the lens of fantasy football. I will explore and detail injuries across the league and provide insight into the fantasy ramifications.</p><p>So, let’s get to it.</p><h2><b>Giants RB Cam Skattebo</b></h2><p>We will begin with what is the worst injury of the week: New York Giants running back Cam Skattebo’s ankle.</p><p><a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/new-york-giants/giants-news-cam-skattebo-nasty-injury-teammates-distraught">Skattebo suffered a devastating ankle dislocation</a> during Sunday’s loss to the Philadelphia Eagles. It is one of those most people don’t want to see. If you are a basketball fan, think of Gordon Hayward’s debut with the Boston Celtics a few years ago.</p><p>Yeah, it was that ugly.</p><p>The rookie out of Arizona State is obviously done for the year. It is a massive blow to the Giants’ offense, and fantasy managers whose teams were propelled by Skattebo.</p><p>Week 1 starter Tyrone Tracy Jr. immediately becomes a must-add when waivers run this week. He very likely had been dropped in your league already. Going forward, you can project Tracy Jr. as a weekly flex play. But don’t get it twisted, he will not produce like Skattebo had been.</p><h2><b>Eagles RB Saquon Barkley</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/Eagles-RB-Saquon-Barkley-vs-Giants.jpg"><figcaption>© Bill Streicher-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>In that same game, Eagles’ All-Pro tailback <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/philadelphia-eagles/eagles-news-saquon-barkley-limps-off-blue-tent-apparent-injury-giants">Saquon Barkley also left early with an injury</a>.</p><p>The reigning Offensive Players of the Year suffered a groin injury vs. the Giants and did not return to the game. However, Eagles’ head coach Nick Sirianni said on Monday that it was nothing serious. He alluded to the fact that if the game had been closer, Barkley could have returned.</p><p>With Philly’s bye week coming up, he should be a full-go in Week 10. Fire him up as usual, although his season has not gone as planned.</p><h2><b>Browns tailback Quinshon Judkins</b></h2><p>It was a week of running back injuries, because we have another one on the list.</p><p>In the Cleveland Browns’ 32-13 loss to the New England Patriots, starting running back Quinshon Judkins got nicked up. He left early with a shoulder injury, which was a cause for concern for fantasy football managers.</p><p>After all, since his NFL debut in Week 2, he has been a rock-solid RB2 with three RB1 weekly finishes.</p><p>Thankfully for Browns fans and fantasy managers, you can breathe a sigh of relief. Cleveland head coach Kevin Stefanski said on Monday that <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/cleveland-browns/browns-news-quinshon-judkins-day-to-day-shoulder-injury-patriots-game">Judkins is day-to-day</a>. Similar to Barkley, Judkins will have an extra week to rest up and heal. The Browns are off in Week 9 and will face the lowly New York Jets coming out of the bye.</p><h2><b>Broncos WR Marvin Mims Jr.</b></h2><p>The first wide receiver on our list is Denver Broncos wideout Marvin Mims Jr.</p><p>The speedy receiver got knocked into next Sunday along the sidelines late in Denver’s win over the Dallas Cowboys. <a href="https://www.si.com/nfl/broncos/onsi/news/broncos-marvin-mims-concussion-protocol-huge-cowboys-win" rel="noopener">He is in the concussion protocol</a>. Despite facing a juicy matchup in Week 8, Mims disappointed with zero catches on one target. He ran the ball three times for 18 yards and was valuable in the return game. But that isn’t helping almost anyone in the fantasy football world.</p><p>He can safely be dropped, especially with a daunting matchup against the Houston Texans on tap (assuming he clears the concussion protocol).</p><h2><b>Bears WR Luther Burden III</b></h2><p>The Chicago Bears took a tough loss on Sunday, losing 30-16 at Baltimore against the Ravens. That wasn’t the only L sustained, though.</p><p>Wide receiver Luther Burden III suffered a concussion and was ruled out. Granted, only those in 16-team leagues are likely playing the rookie wideout. But if he does not clear the protocols for Week 9, both DJ Moore and Rome Adunze get a little bump in a plus matchup.</p><p>The Bears will face the Cincinnati Bengals, who just allowed Justin Fields to look like a Pro Bowler. Adunze can be counted on as a solid WR,2 with Moore offering flex value with upside.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

It was probably one of the more dominant wins from the team this season, as both sides of the ball were clicking. Jalen Hurts continued his strong play, completing 15 of his 20 passes for 179 yards and four touchdowns. Hurts continued to make the right read almost every time, and he put the Eagles in the best position to score.</p><p>After the game, Hurts was asked if he <a href="https://x.com/DZangaroNBCS/status/1982555802813751513" rel="noopener">had an answer</a> for how he had been playing lately, and the quarterback had eight words that could scare his future opponents.</p><p>“I think the best is yet to come,” Hurts said.</p><p>If that’s how Hurts really feels, then many people should be worried about the Eagles. Through the first part of the season, they didn’t look in sync, more specifically, the offense. DeVonta Smith and A.J. Brown came out and talked about their lack of targets, and since then, they’ve been getting the ball fed to them consistently.</p><p>Even Saquon Barkley had been struggling for the past few weeks, and he had a breakout game against the Giants, finishing with 150 yards and a touchdown.

Dallas Goedert, who scored two touchdowns against the Giants, believes that the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/philadelphia-eagles/eagles-news-dallas-goedert-assessment-giants-takedown-fire-fans">Eagles could be hitting their stride</a>.</p><p>“Going into a bye with a win is always a really good thing,” Goedert said via NFL Network’s Mike Garafolo. “It makes the bye week all the better. But it seems like we’re finally getting our groove, played a good game offensively, defensively on a special team today.”​</p><p>With the bye week coming up, the Eagles have time to rest up, and hopefully, they can keep that momentum that they have when they come back. They should also be getting some players back from injury, such as Brown, which is a plus for their offense.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Both Saquon Barkley and Tank Bigsby rushed for over 100 yards, making them the first Eagles running back duo to accomplish that feat this season. Barkley finished with 150 yards and two touchdowns, while Bigsby added 104 yards.</p><p>The Eagles needed other players to step up without injured star receiver A.J. Brown.

But it seems like we’re finally getting our groove, played a good game offensively, defensively on a special team today.”​</p><p>The performance sparked an immediate response across social media platforms.

His previous high came in a Super Bowl rematch against the Kansas City Chiefs, where he put up 88 yards in a 20-17 victory.</p><p>Barkley’s breakout game helps the Eagles keep pace for homefield advantage in the NFC Playoffs. They are currently tied with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers for the best record in the conference. The top-heavy NFC has seven teams within a game of each other for the top spot. This certainly sets the stage for a compelling race in the season’s stretch run.</p><p>Green Bay is among those NFC contenders with legitimate aspirations of getting the coveted bye for the postseason. That makes their Week 10 Monday Night showdown a critical game for tiebreaker purposes. During their run to Super Bowl LIX, Philadelphia took out the Packers in the Super Wildcard Round. Barkley rushed for 119 yards in the 22-10 win.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Philly’s offense was on full display, as the passing game and rushing attack were too much for New York to handle. After the contest, head coach Nick Sirianni made an eye-opening take about the team playing so well without wide receiver AJ Brown.</p><p>Sirianni, who is 44 years old, admitted that the Eagles’ offense <a href="https://x.com/EliotShorrParks/status/1982550438223499640" rel="noopener">will always be better</a> when Brown is on the field, according to Eliot Shorr-Parks of 94WHIP. The fifth-year head coach did say he was happy with the performance from the team, though, and also praised wide receiver Jahan Dotson for stepping up in AJ Brown’s absence.</p><p>Regardless of who was in, we have a lot of faith in all the wideouts, obviously,” said Sirianni. “Anytime we lose a player like AJ for a game, it changes some things as far as how you go about putting guys in different positions. But naturally, if you have faith in the guys that you have that are backing him up, whether that’s a receiver or o-line, you still go about doing what they can do the best. Just putting them in the position to make plays.”</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">Nick Sirianni on how the offense functioned today with AJ Brown</p><p>Says the team is always better with AJ but that he has faith in the receivers on the roster.

His role could see an uptick, but he is still likely to be behind DeVonta Smith and even tight end Dallas Goedert in terms of targets.</p><p>Dotson came over to Philadelphia after two seasons with the division rival Washington Commanders in a trade with a fifth-round pick for two seventh-rounders and a third. With Washington, Dotson was selected with the 16th overall pick with the team expecting him to make an immediate impact. His career didn’t quite turn out how they hoped, as Dotson only had 1,041 yards across two seasons with the team. Now, he has a chance to make an impact in Philly while its star is sidelined.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Hurts continues to play a dominant role for the Eagles. The quarterback demonstrated he is much more than the master of the tush push as he completed 15 of 20 passes for 179 yards with 4 touchdowns while keeping it clean on the interception side of the ledger.</p><p>In addition to his TD pass to Barkley, the threw a pair of scoring passes to tight end Dallas Goedert. Hurts also threw a TD pass to wide receiver Jahan Dotson.</p><p>The Giants suffered a brutal blow in the game when prized rookie Cam Skattebo went down with a serious ankle/foot injury. He was forced to leave the game after getting carted off the field.</p><p> </p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

And now, the tight end has joined a list of elite players at the position.</p><p>Goedert caught two touchdown passes in the win, giving him seven for the season. Since 2015,<a href="https://x.com/MikeGarafolo/status/1982534354149511454" rel="noopener"> only two other tight ends</a> have caught seven+ touchdowns through the first seven games of the season; Travis Kelce and Rob Gronkowski, via Eagles director of football communication John Gonoude.</p><p>Both tight ends are considered two of the best in NFL history. For Goedert to join them with his hot start shows how valuable he is to the Eagles offseason. As they look to defend their Super Bowl title, Goedert will remain a key target for quarterback Jalen Hurts.</p><p>The tight end’s first score came with jut 21 seconds left in the first half. On a six-yard grab, Goedert extended Philadelphia’s lead to 21-10. His next touchdown, a 17-yarder to open the fourth quarter, gave the Eagles a 31-13 lead. Goedert only made three catches for 28 yards total, but he proved to be a trustworthy target in scoring situations.</p><p>Coming out of Week 8, Goedert has now caught 29 passes for 289 yards and seven touchdowns. Philadelphia’s receivers may be more of big play threats, but Goedert’s touchdown numbers show his reliability.</p><p>The Eagles are now 6-2 on the season and have won two in a row after their two-game losing streak. They’ll enter their Week 9 bye week looking to get healthy and recharge. When they return to action against the Green Bay Packers, it<a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/philadelphia-eagles/eagles-news-dallas-goedert-reveals-why-returned-philadelphia-teu"> wouldn’t be shocking to see Hurts look Goedert’s way</a>.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Considering the huge lead late in the contest, it’s hard to imagine he returns to the field in this one.</p><p>“Eagles RB Saquon Barkley is questionable to return with a groin injury.”</p><p>If that’s the last we see from the three-time Pro Bowler in Week 8, then he will end his day with 150 rushing yards and two touchdowns (one rushing, one receiving). <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/philadelphia-eagles/eagles-news-philadelphia-run-game-back-saquon-barkleys-65-yard-td-run">One of Saquon Barkley’s scores</a> was an impressive 65-yard run on his first rush attempt of the game.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

He also picked up an additional 135 receiving yards and a score through the air off 20 receptions.</p><p>However, his average yards per game this season (52.7) is substantially lower than it was in the 2024-25 campaign (125.3). In fact, the 52.7 rushing yards per game average is Barkley’s lowest since the 2021-22 season (45.6), when he was still playing for the Giants.

It’s intensity,” Lurie said. “The players respect it. I like intensity. The players are intense. Howie’s intense, I’m intense, the coach is intense. Every week, every situation, we approach it with intensity.”</p><p>Lurie praised his team’s unique culture. He also made it clear that Philadelphia has actively sought out every player added to the organization.</p><p>“We encourage it. We want different personalities,” Lurie said. “Sometimes, in trades or in free agency, we’ll bring people in that complement those that we have. They’re different on purpose. We don’t want sameness.”</p><p>Philadelphia will be feeling even better about their situation if they can get another win in Week 8.

Brown missed practices this week with a hamstring issue, and the Eagles listed him out for Week 8.  </p><p>Brown has carried the Eagles’ passing game at times this season. According to ESPN, he has 29 catches for 395 yards and three touchdowns through seven games, numbers that reflect both his big-play impact and a lighter target share compared with past seasons.  </p><p>Brown flashed his upside in last week’s 28-22 win over the Minnesota Vikings, when he finished with 121 yards and two scores, helping stabilize <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/philadelphia-eagles/eagles-jalen-hurts-made-best-play-nick-sirianni-has-ever-seen-to-beat-vikings">Philadelphia’s offense while Jalen Hurts delivered a strong outing</a>. That effort underlined why the Eagles prefer to be cautious with him. When healthy, Brown changes coverage plans and creates space for teammates.  </p><p>Coach Nick Sirianni and the medical staff will use the bye to manage Brown’s recovery, a familiar strategy around soft-tissue injuries that can be aggravated by premature returns. The early estimate of a Week 10 return gives the Eagles a small runway to get Brown through treatment, monitored workouts, and a clean lift in practice before he faces Green Bay.  </p><p><a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/philadelphia-eagles/eagles-news-devonta-smith-playing-without-aj-brown-week-8">Brown’s absence forces the Eagles to lean more on DeVonta Smith</a>, the tight ends, and scheme wrinkles to sustain explosiveness. It also feeds <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/philadelphia-eagles/eagles-rumors-philadelphia-likely-not-trading-a-j-brown">ongoing trade chatter, which the team has repeatedly downplayed</a>, by adding uncertainty around how the roster might look at the deadline. For now, Philadelphia will prioritize getting Brown right rather than rushing him back, betting that fresh legs after the bye will preserve their championship window.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Brown has 29 receptions for 395 yards and three touchdowns through seven weeks in 2025. <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/philadelphia-eagles/eagles-news-aj-brown-meeting-jalen-hurts-saquon-barkley">Brown made headlines earlier in the season</a> when a disconnect with Jalen Hurts and Saquon Barkley about a conversation the three had about the Eagles’ offense played out in the media.</p><p>The team recently told interested callers that they <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/philadelphia-eagles/eagles-rumors-philadelphia-likely-not-trading-a-j-brown">would not trade Brown</a> at that time, per The Athletic’s Dianna Russini. The Eagles have not told other teams anything regarding that stance potentially changing. However, the continued publicity from the receiver’s discontent has left teams curious ahead of November 4’s NFL trade deadline.</p><p>Teams around the league recently started to believe that a scenario where they could acquire Brown before the deadline was becoming plausible. Three rival teams, all in the AFC, were gearing up to emerge at the forefront of any potential trade discussions.</p><p>The Pittsburgh Steelers, Buffalo Bills, and Denver Broncos are expected to comprise the forefront of any trade discussions involving Brown, sources tell ClutchPoints. The three organizations do not expect the 28-year-old wideout, who will <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/philadelphia-eagles/eagles-news-aj-brown-out-week-8-giants">miss the Eagles’ Week 8 matchup against the New York Giants</a>, to become available before the deadline, but will certainly continue to monitor the situation.</p><p>Opposing organizations also have an awareness that things change quickly in sports, in business, and especially when the two intersect. If Philadelphia does eventually decide that trading their star receiver could be in their best interest, the Bills, Broncos, and Steelers will likely revisit their interest in the star pass catcher.</p><h2><b>Eagles GM Howie Roseman makes stance clear on A.J.

Brown (11) celebrates after the win against the Minnesota Vikings at U.S. Bank Stadium. Mandatory Credit: Jeffrey Becker-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>Brown has made several not-so-cryptic social media posts regarding his role in the team’s offense. He <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/DQEx2IxDqo3/?img_index=1" rel="noopener">captioned his latest</a> Instagram post “Using me but not using me,” which leaves little to the imagination.</p><p>Eagles owner Jeffery Lurie was recently asked how he would respond to a trade request from Brown by Russini. The messaging was clear, with the two-time Super Bowl winner <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/6747218/2025/10/25/nfl-trade-rumors-news-aj-brown-jerry-jones-targets/" rel="noopener">declaring that they will</a> “do what’s best for the team.”</p><p>“We don’t even consider it seriously unless it’s best for the Eagles,” Lurie said of any hypothetical transaction. “We will always do what gives us the best chance of winning big. Everything else is secondary.”</p><p>Additional reports surfaced on Saturday night about the possibility of a trade before the deadline involving Brown. It was clarified in that report that such a deal is not out of the question.</p><p>“The Eagles would be willing to listen to any trade offer, but sources believe Philadelphia would not be willing to part with Brown for anything less than a blockbuster offer, which is not expected to be forthcoming,” ESPN’s Adam Schefter wrote.</p><p>Philadelphia has clearly not received an offer from a rival team that it views as worthy of “blockbuster” status. It is, however, expected that the Bills, Broncos, and Steelers will continue to show strong interest in the three-time Pro Bowler in hopes of prying him from the Eagles.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Now the Eagles have an opportunity to avenge the loss to their division rival in a rematch with the Giants in Week 8. But Philadelphia will be missing a key offensive contributor with <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/philadelphia-eagles/eagles-news-aj-brown-out-week-8-giants">A.J. Brown ruled out</a>.</p><p>The Eagles announced that Brown would not play in Sunday’s NFC East showdown due to a hamstring injury. The Pro Bowl wideout was unable to practice during the week as scar tissue caused his hamstring to tighten.</p><p>Brown’s absence is a big blow to an Eagles’ offense struggling with consistency. Fellow Philadelphia receiver DeVonta Smith <a href="https://x.com/ZBerm/status/1981895376572678163" rel="noopener">acknowledged the impact</a> of the injury. “Obviously, he’s a great player. …We’ll have to adjust [while] he’s not out there. Everybody’s going to have to be studying a little harder, guys will be moving around to different spots,” Smith said, per The Athletic’s Zach Berman.</p><h2><b>Eagles lose A.J. Brown for Giants revenge game</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/Smith-and-Brown.jpg"><figcaption>Brad Mills-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>The Eagles won their first four games this season before back-to-back losses to the Denver Broncos and Giants. Philadelphia’s offensive struggles caused <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/philadelphia-eagles/eagles-rumors-nfl-insider-reveals-aj-brown-devonta-smiths-source-of-frustration-on-offense">frustration for Brown and Smith</a>. Tensions boiled over after an ugly loss to the Giants.</p><p><a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/philadelphia-eagles/ex-qb-drops-attention-grabbing-aj-brown-eagles-trade-take">Trade rumors swirled around Brown</a> as the seventh-year wideout appeared increasingly unhappy with his role in the offense.</p><p>But then the Eagles rebounded. Jalen Hurts made sure to feature his receivers in Week 7’s matchup with the Vikings. <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/philadelphia-eagles/eagles-news-jalen-hurts-earns-amazing-saquon-barkley-review-bounce-back-vs-vikings">Hurts had his best game of the season</a>, throwing for 326 yards and three touchdowns. It was his first 300-yard passing game since Week 3 of 2024.</p><p>Both Brown and Smith feasted in Minnesota with 4/121/2 and 9/183/1 receiving lines respectively. The 183-yard performance was a career high for Smith. And Brown recorded his first multi-touchdown game in two years (he last scored two TDs in Week 8 of 2023).</p><p>Now, after the breakout, Brown is sidelined by an injury. Smith hopes to build on his phenomenal Week 7 when Philly takes on the Giants Sunday. But Brown’s absence looms large for the team.</p><p>Despite the Eagles’ passing offense garnering attention for its struggles, it’s actually Philadelphia’s running game that has experienced the more perplexing decline. The Eagles went from the second-best rushing attack in the league last season (179.3 yards per game) to the 30th-ranked run offense in the NFL through seven games this year (88.1 yards per contest).</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

The longtime Eagle recently came out of retirement to rejoin the team, but he will not play this Sunday, and his absence isn’t due to injury.</p><p>Given that Graham has only just returned after stepping away earlier this year, it’s understandable that he’s not ready for game action. The 36-year-old will need time to regain conditioning before making his season debut. When he does, Philadelphia hopes he can provide the same veteran presence and pass-rush spark that defined his previous seasons.</p><p>“Of course, I believe in the team,” Graham said on his podcast after announcing his un-retirement. “That’s a big part of it, too. I think they got everything they need. I want to add more value.”</p><p>The Eagles have dealt with several defensive line changes in recent weeks. Za’Darius Smith briefly joined the team but unexpectedly retired, while young pass rusher Nolan Smith was placed on injured reserve with a triceps injury. Graham’s decision to return was seen as a key morale boost for a locker room that’s been tested through early adversity.</p><p>Adding to the positive developments, the Eagles officially activated wide receiver Darius Cooper from injured reserve this week. <a href="https://x.com/Eagles/status/1982175385614770441" rel="noopener">The team announced the move</a> on its official X account, writing:</p><p>“We’ve activated WR Darius Cooper from Injured Reserve.” Cooper, a training camp standout before suffering a lower-body injury, had impressed coaches with his route-running and versatility. His return could provide <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/philadelphia-eagles/eagles-news-jeffrey-lurie-breaks-jalen-hurts-unstoppable">Jalen Hurts with another reliable option in the passing game</a>, particularly as the offense continues to adjust without DeVonta Smith, who remains sidelined.</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">We’ve activated WR Darius Cooper from Injured Reserve. <a href="https://t.co/rIdgHmnLXa">pic.twitter.com/rIdgHmnLXa</a></p><p>— Philadelphia Eagles (@Eagles) <a href="https://twitter.com/Eagles/status/1982175385614770441?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">October 25, 2025</a></p></blockquote><p><script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p></figure><p>Off the field, Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie also made headlines by praising quarterback Jalen Hurts’ mindset and leadership. “If you can’t block out most of the noise, you’re not going to maximally perform,” Lurie told NFL insider Ian Rapoport. “And Jalen is one of those where, the more noise there is, the better he performs.”</p><p>Philadelphia enters Week 8 with a 5-2 record, driven by Hurts’ continued excellence and the team’s resilient culture. With Darius Cooper returning and Graham working toward full readiness, the Eagles are quietly reloading for a potential second-half surge in the NFC.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
