PackersWalt's takeOct 19, 8:22 PM

Micah Parsons will not return to practice this week

Micah Parsons will not return to practice this week, per Matt LaFleur. Demovsky's read: with the short week following the Lions game, it may be at least another couple weeks.

Walt's take: I wrote this week that the Packers are somehow 4-2 despite having no running game, lacking a consistent pass rush, and missing their two best defensive players. They destroyed the Bears and Cowboys somehow after getting blown out by the Falcons and being outplayed by the Jets.

RavensWalt's takeOct 19, 7:22 PM

Ravens QB Lamar Jackson could potentially practice this week

Ravens coach Jesse Minter said QB Lamar Jackson remains day-to-day. Minter said Jackson could potentially practice Wednesday and confirmed he has made progress.

Walt's take: I wrote this week that this ranking assumes Jackson will return this week. I also wrote that if Lamar Jackson had been available, it felt like the Browns would have lost by at least three touchdowns.

FalconsOct 19, 5:30 PM

Falcons opening CB A.J. Terrell’s IR return window

Kevin Stefanski said things are trending in the right way for CB AJ Terrell to be designated for a return from IR. The Falcons are trending toward opening the window for Terrell this week.

Our Take: Getting Terrell back would help a Falcons team that has fallen to 2-4. The good news for Atlanta is that it still has a decent chance to win its horrible division.
