Cameron Batson suffered a torn ACL.

This is really unfortunate for a former undrafted player that worked his way into being a contributor for the Titans. Batson will miss the rest of the year, and we wish him luck on his recovery and hope to see him 100% by the start of next season.

Dawson Knox broke a bone in his hand, according to NFL Network’s Mike Garafolo.

The hope is that Knox won’t miss much time, and the Bills entering their bye week should help make that possible. Buffalo’s tight end actually threw a successful two-point conversion with the broken hand last night, so we’d bet he’ll be saying he can play when the Bills are back in Week 8. If not, Tommy Sweeney will take over as the No. 1 tight end, but it might primarily lead to more snaps for Gabriel Davis.

The Saints are signing Lamar Miller to the practice squad.

Miller lands in a good spot to potentially work his way to the 53-man roster, as New Orleans doesn’t have an established option behind Alvin Kamara with Tony Jones Jr. (ankle) out. The veteran is at least a name to monitor in Sean Payton’s offense.

Julio Jones (hamstring) has been ruled out for the rest of tonight’s game.

Jones tweaked his hamstring in the fourth quarter and limped gingerly over to the sideline, but he later had his helmet on and looked eager to return to the game. Instead, he’s been ruled out. This comes after Julio returned to the lineup after missing the past two games with a hamstring issue. Hopefully the team is just taking things slow to end the night, but it’s a close game they are in, and Jones appears to be in danger of missing more time moving forward. Before leaving the Week 6 matchup with the Bills, Jones had three receptions for 59 yards.

Dawson Knox (hand) has been ruled out for the rest of tonight.

Knox went to the locker room a little bit ago, and X-rays presumably didn’t turn out well. Knox actually threw a two-point conversion to Josh Allen on a “Philly Special” type of play, but he was then checked out on the bench and his night is done. Before leaving the Week 6 Monday night matchup with the Titans, Knox had three receptions for 25 yards along with the two-point conversion pass. Hopefully Knox, who has emerged as a major contributor to the Buffalo offense this season, doesn’t miss much time with this.

Johnny Mundt is out for the season with a torn ACL.

Mundt mostly contributed as a run blocker for the Rams, so this isn’t a big impact from a fantasy perspective. It’s still a very unfortunate situation for Mundt, and we wish him a speedy recovery.

Jake Funk (hamstring) is out for the season.

Funk tore his hamstring in yesterday’s Week 6 win over the Giants and is out for the season. The rookie running back was an intriguing draft pick by the Rams this year, but he didn’t get much of a chance to contribute on offense behind Darrell Henderson Jr. and Sony Michel. Funk’s rookie campaign ends with just one carry for six yards in six games.
