Dak Prescott (calf) will be inactive for Sunday night.

This went all the way up to pregame warmups, but the star quarterback is being held out and will not start in Week 8. Cooper Rush will take Dak’s place for the Halloween Night matchup against the Vikings. Meanwhile, the expectation is that this extra time off for Prescott will get him closer to 100% health, and he’ll hopefully be back for Week 9 versus the Broncos.

Rob Gronkowski (back spasms) is out for the rest of today’s game.

Gronkowski will not play in the second half as the Bucs look to come back against the Saints in New Orleans. This is unfortunate for Gronk and the Bucs, and it sounds like he just isn’t at 100% healthy overall while dealing with the back spasms on top of it as he comes off his rib injury. Gronk did not have any receptions before leaving. The Bucs have a Week 9 bye, so that’ll give Gronk some time to get right before Tampa Bay is back in action.

Jameis Winston (knee) carted to the locker room.

Winston had his left leg rolled awkwardly while getting tackled by the back of his jersey. He limped badly off the field, and unfortunately it looks like a potentially serious injury, as he was in the blue medical tent and is now being carted to the locker room. This is a shame in Winston’s first start against his former Buccaneers team. His day ends with him going 6/10 for 56 yards and a touchdown along with four carries for 40 yards. Taysom Hill (concussion) remains out for the Saints, so Trevor Siemian is set to quarterback the Saints for the rest of Week 8.

James Robinson (ankle) is officially questionable to return for the Jaguars.

Hopefully Robinson is able to return versus the Seahawks soon, but we’ll keep you updated on his status.

Sam Darnold (concussion) is out for the rest of today’s game.

P.J. Walker is now in for the Panthers. Darnold was 13/24 for 129 yards and eight carries for 66 yards before leaving agains the Falcons. Hopefully Darnold is feeling better soon.

Rob Gronkowski (ribs) is officially active for Week 8.

After missing four games with his rib injury suffered against the Rams earlier this season, Gronkowski is ready to go for an NFC South matchup versus the Saints. The All-Pro tight end can immediately be inserted into fantasy lineups as a TE1.

Jalen Reagor (ankle) has been ruled out for the rest of today.

Reagor has been ruled out to begin the second half after he was injured earlier in the game. Before leaving the Week 8 game, Reagor had two carries for 21 yards and one reception for no yards. Hopefully Reagor doesn’t miss much more time after today with this ankle issue.
