Updating a previous report, Denver Broncos QB Chad Kelly could be released following his arrest after meeting with general manager John Elway. All options are on the table, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.

There were reports swirling that the Broncos were close to moving on from Case Keenum and now that is not going to be the case. Kelly had been staying out of trouble but he fell in the draft a couple of years ago due to off field concerns. The league is investigating this matter as Kelly was arrested on early Tuesday morning for first degree criminal trespassing.
NYG - QB Eli Manning won't be traded

New York Giants QB Eli Manning will continue to man the Giants at quarterback with the trade deadline a week away, according to head coach Pat Shurmur.

Manning has not been playing well this season but the team won't trade him and may not bench him in 2018. Fantasy GMs should continue to view Manning as a low-end QB2 each week.
CIN - WR John Ross will miss more time

Cincinnati Bengals WR John Ross (groin) is expected to be out a few more weeks after aggravating his groin injury in Week 7, according to a source.
[ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]
It's actually news when Ross is available to play. A first-round pick last year (taken one pick before Patrick Mahomes...ouch), Ross has missed more games than he's played in. He's played eight games in about a season and a half.
TEN - QB Paxton Lynch, TE Ben Koyack hosted by Titans

Free-agents QB Paxton Lynch (Broncos) and TE Ben Koyack (Jaguars) worked out for the Tennessee Titans Tuesday, Oct. 23.
[ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]
Lynch has yet to be signed after being released from the Broncos in early September. Quite a few teams have worked him out, yet nobody has taken a chance on the 2016 first-round pick. The Titans are updating their emergency list...and for good reason as Blaine Gabbert is the primary backup to starter Marcus Mariota.
MIA - No surgery for WR Albert Wilson
Source: ProFootballTalk.com
Miami Dolphins WR Albert Wilson (hip) won't need surgery on his injured hip, but he is expected to be placed on the Reserve/Injured list.
[ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]
Good news for Wilson but he's still going to miss plenty of time. On Injured Reserve, Wilson would have to miss at least eight weeks of action. At the midway point of the season, that means the Dolphins would likely be without him for the remainder of 2018. They'll turn to more of Danny Amendola, Jakeem Grant and DeVante Parker (unless/until he's traded) while Wilson is out.

Dallas Cowboys TE Geoff Swaim (knee) and OG Zack Martin (knee) were diagnosed with sprained medial collateral ligaments. A timetable for their recovery was not disclosed.

With Swaim banged up, the team turns to Blake Jarwin and Rico Gathers at the tight end position. Neither one is an exciting option (not like Swaim was either) for Fantasy GMs.
PHI - RB Donnel Pumphrey signs with Eagles

Free-agent RB Donnel Pumphrey (Eagles) signed with the Philadelphia Eagles' practice squad Thursday, Oct. 23.
[ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]
Pumphrey is back with the Eagles but on their practice squad this time. A fourth-round pick out of San Diego State in the 2017 NFL draft, Pumphrey missed his rookie season due to a hamstring injury. He failed to make the 53-man roster this year and was released. The Lions picked him up on their practice squad in September but he only lasted a few weeks there.
NYJ - WR Rishard Matthews signs with Jets

Free-agent WR Rishard Matthews (Titans) agreed to an undisclosed deal with the New York Jets Tuesday, Oct. 23.
[ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]
The Jets needed some help at the WR position with Quincy Enunwa banged up and Terrelle Pryor released. Matthews didn't think he would sign with a team this year but the Jets get the deal done. He'll take some time to get used to the offense so don't expect a lot from him at this point.

Green Bay Packers WR Geronimo Allison (hamstring) returned to practice Tuesday, Oct. 23.

With Randall Cobb back at practice as well, Allison could get bumped down the pecking order. He's likely to be the no.3 WR against the Rams on Sunday.

Cobb had time to get healthy during the team's bye last week. They'll need him at his best as the Packers face the Rams on Sunday.
NYG - WR Odell Beckham makes history
Source: NFL Research
Updating a previous report, New York Giants WR Odell Beckham Jr. exceeded 5,000 receiving yards for his career in the team's Week 7 loss Monday, Oct. 22. He reached that plateau in fewer games (54) than any player since the 1970 merger, surpassing Atlanta Falcons WR Julio Jones, who accomplished the feat in 56 games.
[ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]
The Giants passing game has been down this year, but Beckham is still getting it done at a high level. On Monday against the Falcons, Beckham had eight catches for 143 yards and one touchdown. It was his fourth 100-yard game of the season and there should be many more to come.
JAX - QB Cody Kessler to practice with starters

Jacksonville Jaguars QB Cody Kessler will get some practice time with the first-team offense ahead of the team's Week 8 matchup on Sunday, Oct. 28.
[ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]
Blake Bortles is still the starter for now. If he struggles again then Kessler would take over again like he did last week...but this time around he'd have worked with the first-team offense during the week of practice.
