The Dolphins are placing DeVante Parker (hamstring) on injured reserve, according to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport.

Parker suffered a setback with his hamstring this week, which is obviously unfortunate after he looked good in Week 8 versus the Bills. Miami will lean on Jaylen Waddle and Mike Gesicki with Will Fuller (finger) still week-to-week. We’d say Parker remains a worthy stash for down the stretch.

The Falcons have placed Calvin Ridley on the reserve/NFI list.

Ridley—who has stepped away from football for personal reasons—will miss a minimum of three weeks. The team will rely on Cordarrelle Patterson and Kyle Pitts to lead the offense for at least most of November, and they’ll hope to get Ridley back in the fold soon.

Sterling Shepard (quad) has been ruled out for Sunday.

Shepard was just injured last Monday night, and he won’t play in the Week 9 matchup against the Raiders. The former second-round receiver has dealt with multiple injuries this season, and hopefully next week’s bye will give him enough time to return to action in Week 11.

Kenny Golladay (knee) is officially questionable for Week 9.

Golladay is nearing a return from his knee issue, and it looks like it’ll come down to how he’s feeling on gameday. The Giants play the Raiders at 1:00 PM ET on Sunday, so Golladay’s status will be known that morning.

Saquon Barkley (ankle) has been ruled out for Week 9.

Barkley has cleared COVID protocols after the false-positive test, but he’s still out due to the ankle issue. This is Barkley’s fourth consecutive missed game, and keep in mind that the Giants have a Week 10 bye. Hopefully the star runner is back in action for Week 11.

Latavius Murray (ankle) is officially listed as doubtful for Week 9.

Murray did not practice all week and will likely be out for Sunday against the Vikings, but perhaps the doubtful designation (as opposed to being ruled out ahead of the weekend) is a good indication that the veteran running back will have a shot to play next Thursday night against the Dolphins. Expect Murray to be inactive on Sunday.

Julio Jones (hamstring) says he will play on Sunday night.

Jones told reporters that he feels “great” and is ready to go for the Week 9 matchup with the Rams. The All-Pro also added that him missing more time with the hamstring injury was “precautionary”. With Derrick Henry now out a while due to his fractured foot, the Titans are likely counting on Julio to step up after they traded a second-round pick for him this offseason.
