Jacobs Hopes to Play Through a Broken Finger; Mahomes Avoids a Serious Elbow Injury

Josh Jacobs fractures his right ring finger, but Green Bay hopes he plays through it. Matt LaFleur says Jacobs couldn't grip the ball well enough to return Sunday. "Hopefully we can do something to allow him to go out there," he said. The plan is to protect the finger for Week 10 against Minnesota. Don't drop or panic-trade him. If you're thin at running back, Kaleb Johnson is the handcuff after 14 carries for 68 yards and a touchdown in relief. (Packers Wire, CBS Sports)

Patrick Mahomes' elbow MRI shows no major injury. He hurt his throwing elbow on a second-quarter strip-sack against the Jets but didn't miss a snap. Ian Rapoport reports Kansas City will watch it this week for pain and swelling. Keep him in your plans for Atlanta and check Wednesday's practice report. (NBC Sports, CBS Sports)

Luther Burden III is in concussion protocol. He was hurt late against Tampa Bay, and there's no set timeline. Chicago's Week 10 bye gives him an extra week to clear it before it costs you a start. (NFL.com)

Drew Lock injures his oblique. Mike Macdonald calls his Week 10 availability up in the air. Hold off on Seattle passing-game decisions until practice reports start. (NFL.com)

Puka Nacua's MRI results aren't out yet. We'll post them when they land, and the waiver plan comes Tuesday.
