The Buccaneers have released Jaydon Mickens.

Mickens had been Tampa Bay’s primary punt returner, so this could mean fourth-round rookie Jaelon Darden will be active and step into the role; Antonio Brown is also another potential option. We’ll see if Mickens can land a return job elsewhere.

Parris Campbell is dealing with a “significant” injury.

This is according to Colts head coach Frank Reich. We’ll see about the exact extent of the injury and the timeline for Campbell’s recovery, but he’s set to miss a chunk of time. The second-round pick has unfortunately struggled to stay on the field early in his career.

Kareem Hunt (calf) expected to miss at least a few weeks.

For Hunt, this is better than what it looked like it could have been yesterday. He’s headed to injured reserve, which would force him to miss at least the next three games. Hunt will be eligible to return in Week 10, but he’s expected to miss more time than that. Nick Chubb is also dealing with a calf injury and is not expected to play in Week 7 on a short week, so the Browns might be shorthanded at running back on Thursday night.

Kareem Hunt leaves game with apparent leg injury.

It’s unclear how Hunt was injured, but he was down on the field surrounded by teammates and had to be helped off the field without putting any pressure on his right leg. Hunt was reportedly grabbing for the back of his leg, and we’ll see if this is a serious injury. Before leaving, Hunt had 14 carries for 66 yards and three receptions for 12 yards in the Week 6 matchup with the Cardinals.

Odell Beckham Jr. (shoulder) has returned for the Browns.

Beckham is back for the Browns’ second offensive series of the second half, which is good to see after he missed the end of the first half while getting checked out for a shoulder issue.

Odell Beckham Jr. (shoulder) is officially questionable to return for the Browns.

You could see Beckham trying to work through the shoulder issue, but he’s clearly in obvious pain. OBJ isn’t typically a guy to let on that he’s injured unless he’s really hurting. He’d probably like to play through the injury, but it might be difficult if it’s serious and/or the pain level is too high.
