Week 10 broadcast map: Will your station carry Saints vs. Falcons?

The New Orleans Saints will look to snap a seven-game losing streak as they face the visiting Atlanta Falcons on Sunday, marking their second meeting of the season against the team.

The New Orleans Saints will look to snap a seven-game losing streak as they face the visiting Atlanta Falcons on Sunday, marking their second meeting of the season against the team.

According to 506 Sports, the Atlanta vs. New Orleans contest will be carried by the majority of the states in the southeastern United States, including large parts of Georgia, South Carolina, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama and Arkansas.

FOX will carry the broadcast, and the game will obviously be bailable on the local channels pertinent to Georgia and Louisiana, the home states of the two teams playing here.

The Saints and the Falcons are set to kick off at Noon CT/1 p.m. ET on Sunday from the Caesars Superdome. This was a close game the first time this season that the two teams met, but it is expected to be a potential runaway for Atlanta in this upcoming meeting.

NFL assigns Carl Cheffers as referee for Falcons vs. Saints

Carl Cheffers and his crew will be responsible for the officiating in Sunday’s matchup between the New Orleans Saints and Atlanta Falcons:

Carl Cheffers and his crew will be responsible for the officiating in Sunday’s matchup between the Falcons and the Saints. Cheffers has thrown 97 total flags this season, 28 of which were on the home team and 45 of which were on the away team.

That’s an average of roughly 12 total flags per game for a total of 589 yards, good for roughly middle of the pack in the league.

The last time the Saints played a game with Cheffers officiating was on Dec. 17, 2023 against the New York Giants. He called six penalties against the Saints for a total of 58 yards. New Orleans recorded a dominant victory in that one, 24-6. The Saints are 15-4 in games which Cheffers has refereed.

The Falcons last saw Cheffers officiating when they played the Detroit Lions on Sept. 24, 2023, wielding four penalties for 24 yards. Atlanta did not get the outcome it wanted in that game, losing 20-6. The Falcons are 7-8 in games with Cheffers at head referee.

It will be interesting to see what happens, with the Falcons highly favored, as both teams are set to kick off at 1 p.m. ET on Sunday, Nov. 10.

Commanders could be without kicker Austin Seibert Sunday vs. Steelers

Washington signed kicker Zane Gonzalez to the practice squad. He’ll kick if Seibert doesn’t play.

The Washington Commanders will be without starting running back Brian Robinson Jr. and newly acquired cornerback Marshon Lattimore on Sunday against the Pittsburgh Steelers.

However, the Commanders could be without another key member of their roster for Sunday. In Friday’s final injury report, Washington listed kicker Austin Seibert as questionable for the Week 10 showdown. Seibert has dealt with a right hip injury. Seibert missed Wednesday’s practice and was limited on Thursday and Friday.

Seibert signed ahead of Week 2 after the Commanders waived Cade York. He booted seven field goals in his first game, a 21-18 win over the Giants. He’s made an NFL-high 25 of 27 attempts this season and connected on all 22 points after attempts.

With Seibert questionable, the Commanders signed veteran kicker Zane Gonzalez on Friday. Washington must decide on Saturday whether or not to elevate him to the 53-man roster.

Gonzalez entered the NFL in 2017 as a seventh-round pick of the Cleveland Browns, where he spent two seasons. He’s also kicked for the Arizona Cardinals, Detroit Lions, Carolina Panthers and San Francisco 49ers. He’s made 91 of 113 career field goals with a long of 57 yards.

The Commanders (7-2) lead the NFC East and play the Philadelphia Eagles on Thursday Night Football next week.

Patriots rule two players out, deem seven questionable vs. Bears

The Patriots are already ruling two players out for Sunday’s game

The New England Patriots released their final injury report of the week on Friday, and the latest report brought the news that safety Kyle Dugger and linebacker Christian Elliss have both been ruled out for Sunday’s game against the Chicago Bears.

Dugger has been out with an ankle injury, while Elliss is dealing with an abdominal injury.

The team listed seven other players as questionable to play in Week 10, including Alex Austin, Daniel Ekuale, Michael Jordan, Vederian Lowe, Marte Mapu, Layden Robinson and Jaquelin Roy.

It’s a long list of injuries for a Patriots team that has been banged up all season.

Not having Dugger is a huge loss, but the defensive backfield has adjusted as well as possible in his absence with Jaylinn Hawkins and Dell Pettus.

Perhaps the most concerning name on the list is Lowe. The Patriots’ offensive line has been a revolving door this season, and it would be disastrous for rookie quarterback Drake Maye to go on the road in Chicago without the team’s top left tackle.

Lions vs Texans: Final injury report and medical analysis

Lions vs Texans: Final injury report and medical analysis for the Week 10 matchup in Houston

I’m currently in Houston where it is warm (good) and very humid (bad). As a person who doesn’t like the feeling of having to take a shower every five minutes, I’m looking forward to watching the Lions in the air-conditioned comfort of the Texans indoor stadium. Technically, the roof is retractable so there is a chance it is opened to the night air, but it has only been open for one game since the 2021 season.

I’m also looking forward to seeing the fresh energy of multiple key Lions who got some non-injury-related time off – Brian Branch (ejection), Josh Paschal (shoulder mass excision), and Jameson Williams (suspension).

The Lions got a surprise downgrade this week with Taylor Decker who is out. The Lions haven’t played a backup OT yet this year (except for garbage time), so this could impact the game significantly. The rest of the Lions active starting roster on both sides of the ball is intact.

The Texans will be missing a star player on defense (Will Anderson), and likely their #1 WR on offense (Nico Collins). While Collins’ status is technically up-in-the-air, I have multiple reasons listed below why I suspect he won’t play.

The Texans #2 WR, Stefan Diggs is already out with an ACL. Thus, the Texans may be without their top three WR’s as there was a surprise downgrade during the week to #3 WR Tank Dell.

DETROIT LIONS

Taylor Decker OT (UL LP NP – Out) shoulder

Decker presumably hurt his shoulder in practice this week. Dan Campbell stated it’s probably not “something major” which is reassuring. Decker has a history of shoulder surgery in 2017 and it’s unknown if the current injury is related.

Jalen Reeves-Maybin LB (NP NP NP – Out) neck

The 3x NP is a bit concerning after being injured last game. It’s reassuring that he returned to the game late for the onside kick which suggests there were no signs of a spinal issue. Whether he is put on IR this weekend will tell us a lot.

Malcolm Rodriguez LB (NP NP NP – Out) ankle

Rodriguez suffered a scary-looking left ankle sprain early in the Titans game and missed the last game. There was optimism he might be available this weekend but that won’t happen. With 3x NP this week, next game vs the Jaguars is also in doubt.

Za’Darius Smith DE (NP NP FP – Questionable) personal

Smith got two days off to acclimate to his trade from the Browns. He hasn’t had a bye yet and the Lions did, so the Lions may give him a game off at some point. That game might be this Sunday.

Josh Paschal DE (FP FP FP – In) illness

Paschal is ready to go after missing two games for a benign shoulder mass excision.

Emmanuel Moseley CB (FP FP FP – Out) pec

Moseley’s tore his pec in August and has been out all year. His 21-day practice window opened November 6 which keeps him tracking along the 16-week timeline of CJ Gardner-Johnson’s pec tear of last year. Expect Moseley to be available around Thanksgiving.

Ifeatu Melifonwu S (FP FP FP – Out) ankle

Melifonwu has been out since the middle of preseason with a suspected Achilles issue. His 21-day practice window opened on November 6 which is a good sign that he’ll be available later this month.

Sione Vaki RB (FP FP FP – In) knee

Vaki hurt his knee late in the Titans game and missed the last game. Good news that it was minor.

Mekhi Wingo DT (FP FP FP – In) ankle

Wingo hurt his ankle presumably in practice last week and missed the last game. He is a valuable backup at the DT position.

Brodric Martin DT (FP FP FP – Out) knee

Martin is in his 2nd week of his 21-day practice window. Expect him to be moved to the active roster around November 20.

NOTABLES

Jameson Williams returns from his two game suspension.

HOUSTON TEXANS

Nico Collins WR (NP NP LP – Questionable) hamstring

The Texans top WR logically will be out for multiple reasons:
1)Hamstrings benefit from gradual ramp-up to prevent aggravation and a single LP is as steep a ramp as you can have.
2)He’s already missed four weeks to this injury so if he was going to try to play this Sunday, he would have started practicing on Wednesday. It’s not like those two extra rest days is making a significant difference in recovery for a game this weekend.

Tank Dell WR (UL UL LP – Questionable) back

If Dell can’t go, that would mean the Texans might be without their top 3 receivers on the year.

Will Anderson DE (NP NP NP – Out) ankle

On video, this star pass-rusher appeared to suffer a left high ankle sprain last game. Even mild high ankles can take a while to recover from, especially at the DE position (see Micah Parsons). Anderson leads the team with 7.5 sacks on the year so this is a big loss.

Derek Barnett DE (NP LP FP – In) calf/shoulder

Barnett is a part-timer at DE and has 2 sacks on the year. He likely will have a larger role with Anderson out.

NOTABLES

Stefan Diggs, the Texans 2nd-leading WR, is out for the year with a right ACL.

Mario Edwards, starting DT, is serving a suspension and is out for this game.

Kenyon Green, starting LG, is out for the year and was replaced by Kendrick Green last game.

Here is the full Texans report:

Commanders will be without key offensive starter vs. Steelers

More bad news for the Commanders ahead of Week 10 vs. Steelers.

The Washington Commanders revealed on their final injury report Friday that starting running back Brian Robinson Jr. would miss Sunday’s Week 10 game against the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Robinson has been dealing with a hamstring injury over the last two weeks, which forced him to miss the Week 9 win over the New York Giants. Robinson also missed the Week 6 game at Baltimore because of a knee injury. Head coach Dan Quinn said the knee injury is better, but the hamstring issue is the same leg.

“Same side,” Quinn said. “So that is, I don’t know if it’s a correlation, but it definitely is a factor to it, but the knee’s doing good and so not the same injury. So that’s a good sign.”

Robinson is Washington’s leading rusher with 461 yards, averaging 4.6 yards per attempt, and is tied for a team-high with six touchdowns.

Quinn was asked if Chris Rodriguez Jr. factored into Washington’s decision to give Robinson more time to heal.

“Yeah, we’ll huddle up tonight and visit with medical side and [GM] Adam [Peters], myself and then kinda get an assessment about where we’re at and then we can proceed if needed when we go to that. But that’ll be kind of our next operation for this evening,” he answered.

Rodriguez has been elevated from the practice squad three times and led the Commanders with 52 rushing yards last week. Austin Ekeler will likely start, but Rodriguez and Jeremy McNichols should also see plenty of time in the backfield.

Lions vs. Texans broadcast map: Where will the Week 10 game be on TV?

Lions vs. Texans broadcast map: Will the Wek 10 game be on TV?

The Lions are set to head to Houston for a Sunday Night Football clash with C.J. Stroud and the Texans. Kickoff is set for 8:20 P.M. EST Sunday night, November 10. The game will be nationally broadcast on NBC and also stream on Peacock.

Mike Tirico (play-by-play) and Cris Collinsworth (analyst) have the call with Melissa Stark on the sideline.

With the game on Sunday night, the game will obviously be aired across the country so there’s no map, per se, for this game. If you have NBC or Peacock, you can watch the game.

However, thanks to 506 Sports, you can also see what early games you will get in your area. For example, just about all of Michigan will get the Steelers-Commanders game in the early window on CBS, Eagles-Cowboys in the late window on CBS and Patriots-Bears as the single game on FOX. Check out the map for the game on in your area throughout the day Sunday.

Injured reserve is ‘on the table’ for Saints star wide receiver

Injured reserve is ‘on the table’ for New Orleans Saints star Chris Olave. Four concussions in just three years is a lot for the wide receiver to consider:

Chris Olave won’t be active when the New Orleans Saints kick off with the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday, and there’s at least a possibility the star wide receiver won’t play another down this season. Olave suffered the fourth concussion of his brief NFL career last week, which can have long-lasting impacts on his health and wellbeing.

All that’s certain is that Olave has already been ruled out for Sunday’s game. Beyond that, who can say?

“Everything’s on the table,” interim head coach Darren Rizzi said Friday, when injured reserve came up as a possibility for Olave. That determination hasn’t been made yet and Olave is still meeting with concussion specialists and team doctors before making a decision.

A stint on injured reserve would last at least the next four weeks, sidelining Olave for three home games with the Falcons, Cleveland Browns, and Los Angeles Rams as well as the bye in Week 12. But if he’s still feeling symptoms and struggling with this brain injury, the better move could be to end his season altogether. We’ve reached a point where his career in pro football should be considered seriously. Stay tuned for further updates.

Saints rule out four players vs. Falcons on final Week 10 injury report

The New Orleans Saints ruled out four players for Sunday’s rivalry game with the Atlanta Falcons on the final Week 10 injury report:

The New Orleans Saints ruled out four players for Sunday’s rivalry game with the Atlanta Falcons on the final Week 10 injury report, including star wide receiver Chris Olave (concussion). He’ll be joined on the sideline by wide receiver Cedrick Wilson Jr. (shoulder), cornerback Kool-Aid McKinstry (hamstring), and left guard Lucas Patrick (ankle). Starting center Erik McCoy (groin), w ho recently returned to practice, is doubtful to suit up.

Seven more Saints players are questionable for Sunday. That list includes safety J.T. Gray (back), cornerback Rico Payton (back), running  back  Jamaal Williams (groin), defensive tackle John Ridgway (oblique), safety Will Harris (hamstring), guard/center Shane Lemieux (knee), and linebacker Nephi Sewell (knee).

Two more Saints players were listed on the injury report this week, but they are both expected to play — running back Alvin Kamara (hand) and quarterback Derek Carr (illness).

For Atlanta, inside linebacker JD Bertrand (concussion) has been preemptively ruled out, whereas wide receiver Drake London (hip) and center Drew Dalman (ankle) are each questionable. It feels safe to say the Falcons have an advantage in team health for this week’s game.

Here’s the full and final Week 10 Saints-Falcons injury report:
