Nfl Injury Tracker Week 10: Latest News, Fantasy Implications As Patriots' A.j. Brown (ankle/knee) Questionable, 49ers' Mike Evans (achilles) 'getting Real Close,' Deshaun Watson To Start For Browns

Week 10 is underway, and we're tracking all of the injuries before game time.

Jump to a team:

A.J. Brown (ankle/knee) could return this week after a multi-week absence when the New England Patriots face the Detroit Lions in Munich. Brown traveled with the team to Germany and, along with running back Rhamondre Stevenson (knee), has looked "pretty good" in practice this week, according to head coach Mike Vrabel.

Brown has been limited to three games this season and has been out since Week 7. He is listed as questionable for Sunday, along with Stevenson.

After sitting out last week while in concussion protocol, Deshaun Watson will be back under center for the Cleveland Browns on Sunday. Shedeur Sanders got the start against the New Orleans Saints in Week 9, but head coach Todd Monken announced this week that Watson is healthy enough to start.

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Mike Evans (Achilles) won't be rushed back with the team sitting 7-1 and atop the NFC West. The veteran is unlikely to play this week against the Dallas Cowboys, but after missing the past two games Evans is progressing well.

"I think it is getting real close," Shanahan said KNBR. "But we look at it at the beginning of the week, every week, and see where he's at, and he was a lot closer this week than last week, and hopefully, that continues next week."

Evans has yet to return to practice since leaving their Week 6 victory over the Washington Commanders with an Achilles injury.

Other Week 10 injuries to monitor:

Bhayshul Tuten (ankle/foot) will practice on Friday after sitting out this week for the Jacksonville Jaguars. The team's RB1 has 531 rushing yards and four touchdowns on the season. He was questionable last week after not practicing leading into the game against the Baltimore Ravens. He did end up playing, but managed just 29 yards on 12 carries.
The New Orleans Saints designated Travis Etienne Jr. (hamstring) to return from injured reserve after he joined the team at practice this week. The running back has been out since Week 3. His presence could provide a boost to a backfield that is avergaing the seventh-fewest rushing yards per game (95.3) in the NFL this season.
Sam Darnold (ribs/quad) is expected to miss another week for the Seattle Seahawks with Drew Lock (right elbow/oblique) taking charge against the Las Vegas Raiders this week. Darnold missed a Week 9 win after suffering the injuries the week before against the Chicago Bears.
Miami Dolphins quarterback Malik Willis (groin) and Los Angeles Rams receiver Puka Nucua (knee/turf toe) both were placed on injured reserve this week. Willis has been playing through a groin injury and, after undergoing an MRI, it showed he is dealing with a core muscle issue. Nacua sustained his injuries in Week 9. He was later diagnosed with MCL and PCL sprains in his right knee and a turf toe injury.
