Parker will miss the London matchup with the Jaguars, and it’ll be his second consecutive missed game. Hopefully Parker is able to return to face the Falcons next week.

Dalvin Cook is off the Week 6 injury report.

The week of rest obviously did Cook good, as he has no injury designation for his ankle after dealing with the injury for much of the early part of the season. Cook should be his usual self this Sunday against the Panthers and can be inserted into Week 6 fantasy lineups.

Terry McLaurin (hamstring) is officially questionable for Week 6.

McLaurin did not practice today, which isn’t a great sign for his availability this Sunday against the Chiefs. He’ll do what he can to be out there, though, and his status figures to go right up until when the actives and inactives needs to be out by 11:30 AM ET on Sunday.

Nick Chubb (calf) has been ruled out for Week 6.

Chubb didn’t practice this week because of his calf issue, and he will not play in this Sunday’s big matchup agains the Cardinals. Kareem Hunt is now set for a huge workload in Week 6. Hopefully Chubb can make good progress and doesn’t miss any more time after this week.

Zach Ertz is being traded to the Cardinals.

Ertz played his final game for the Eagles last night, ending a long and very successful tenure that included a Super Bowl title. Tight end was a need for Arizona after Maxx Williams went down with a knee injury, so they add the former Pro Bowl tight end to the mix, where he should have room to operate on offense with weapons such as DeAndre Hopkins on the outside for the Cardinals. Ertz’ career with the Eagles ends with 579 receptions, 6,267 yards, and 38 touchdowns. He comes up just ten receptions short of Harold Carmichael’s franchise record and was obviously a very successful second-round pick in the first year of the Chip Kelly era in Philadelphia. Ertz had his best individual campaign in 2018 when he caught 116 passes for 1,163 yards and eight touchdowns, but he’ll be best remembered in Philly for his clutch fourth-quarter touchdown in Super Bowl LII against the Patriots.

The Bears placed Damien Williams on the reserve/COVID-19 list.

Williams is now working against the clock to get cleared for Sunday against the Packers. If he’s out, rookie Khalil Herbert will lead the Chicago backfield for Week 6. Hopefully Williams is feeling OK.

The Raiders have designated Marcus Mariota (quad) to return from injured reserve.

Mariota could return as early as this week, and Las Vegas should again use him as a spark with designed plays whenever he’s back. The former No. 2 overall pick unfortunately won’t be developing under Jon Gruden anymore, but he will still be a candidate to get a starting job in 2022.
