Today's minor moves: Atlanta Falcons Cincinnati Bengals Denver Broncos Philadelphia Eagles Tampa Bay Buccaneers is being temporarily let go by the Broncos, but the 41-year-old tight end won't be a free agent for long. According to Parker Gabriel of the Denver Post, Lewis is expected to quickly land back on Denver's practice squad. However, the team may have some difficulty adding him back to the active roster.

Chances are pretty good it will happen again Sunday for McCaffrey. In the 49ers' 26-8 win over Cleveland before the bye, McCaffrey opened the scoring with a 1-yard run. It was his 13th touchdown of the season. Including the playoffs, McCaffrey has played 50 games for the 49ers and scored 52 touchdowns. Nobody in franchise history not even all-time NFL touchdown leader Jerry Rice with 208 has averaged more than a touchdown per game in their first 50 games.

When the Dolphins run: Miami's speedy 1,000-yard rusher, De'Von Achane, sustained a rib injury last Sunday, but he has a positive outlook toward playing after an X-ray and MRI came back clean. Even after he and his 92 rushing yards exited in the win against the New York Jets, second-year tailback Jaylen Wright had a career afternoon with his first 100-yard rushing game and first NFL touchdown.

"It's almost like a slap in my face, bro," "I ain't gonna lie." "Did Philip Rivers send any type of sign that he was available?" "Why you asking me to do something that everybody else didn't do? I ain't no sucker. I ain't no lab rat. Come on, bro."

"go have fun [and] play football."

If you don't agree with the favorite to win the NFL's Most Valuable Player award this season, just wait a week. It has been a wildly topsy-turvy season across the board, and just as there hasn't really been a transcendent team separating from the pack, I'm not sure there has really been a player who fits that bill, either. There's a clear top two for MVP in the betting market with quarterbacks Drake Maye and Matthew Stafford,

Reviewing the Falcons first, the lone player that they ruled out following Wednesday's practice was receiver Drake London, who will now miss his fourth straight game. With London missing four games, it does beg the question as to why he wasn't placed on injured reserve as they could've freed up a practice spot. I would understand if they just weren't sure because he was practicing some, trying to get ready. But that's not the case. London hasn't practiced in weeks since he sustained the injury.

The magnitude of the Patriots' upcoming matchup against the Bills on Sunday is already being felt nearly a week out, underscoring just how far New England has come this season. With the division on the line, as the Patriots could become AFC East champions with a win, there will inevitably be extra eyes on the game. That also means injured players on both teams will be doing all they can to get back into the starting lineup

Indianapolis Colts coach Shane Steichen was still processing the devastating loss of starting quarterback Daniel Jones when he was blindsided by another QB injury. Monday morning -- in the aftermath of a consequential loss at the Jacksonville Jaguars in which Jones sustained a torn right Achilles tendon -- backup signal-caller Riley Leonard reported to work with a sore right knee from the previous day's game. Now, Leonard's status was in question.
