Check out the latest news and notes around the NFL.
Ryan Tannehill (ankle) not practicing Tuesday
Tennessee Titans QB Ryan Tannehill (ankle) will not be practicing on Tuesday, calling into question his availability for Week 8.
Fantasy Impact
The expectation was already that Tannehill would be unable to go for Week 8, according to reports from NFL Network. Tannehill injured his ankle in Week 6’s London game against the Baltimore Ravens, and the bye week was not enough to get him back on the field. If he misses time, either QB Malik Willis or Will Levis will operate the offense.

Jerome Ford (ankle) expected to be sidelined 1-2 weeks
Jerome Ford was diagnosed with what a source described as a “low grade, high ankle” sprain that is expected to sideline him 1-to-2 weeks.
Fantasy Impact
Ford suffered the injury in Sunday’s win over the Colts. It will likely be Kareem Hunt as the biggest beneficiary for fantasy managers.

Jalen Hurts knee injury is ‘nothing that would keep him out of a game’
It is being reported that Jalen Hurts‘ knee, which had a brace on it to end the game Sunday night, is nothing that would keep him out of a game.
Fantasy Impact
There is reportedly even a good chance it won’t even keep Hurts out of practice. He should be a full-go for Week 8 against the Commanders.

Justin Fields (thumb) considered doubtful for Week 8
Bears head coach Matt Eberflus said Justin Fields will once again be considered doubtful for Sunday night’s game vs the Chargers due to his dislocated thumb.
Fantasy Impact
It sounds like it will be Tyson Bagent drawing another start next week against the Chargers. Fields remains week-to-week at the moment with his next chance to return in Week 9.
