Bengals | Tyler Eifert nearing return
Cincinnati Bengals TE Tyler Eifert (ankle) is close to returning, according to head coach Marvin Lewis. Eifert has missed the first three weeks of the season following ankle surgery in the offseason.
Footballguys View: Fantastic news for the Bengals and QB Andy Dalton here. The offense lacks weapons in the passing game outside of superstar WR A.J. Green. Getting Eifert back will greatly improve what they can do through the air — especially in the red zone. In his first week back, we would consider Eifert a high-end TE2 at least.
Cardinals | Michael Floyd in concussion protocol
Arizona Cardinals WR Michael Floyd (head) was cleared on the sideline to reenter the game in Week 3 Buffalo Bills, but he experienced a headache on Monday, Sept. 26, and entered the league’s concussion protocol.
Footballguys View: This situation needs to be monitored. Floyd doesn’t have a history of concussions, but the team is obviously being cautious with him now after experiencing a headache on Monday. We should know more about his availability later in the week.
Patriots | New England signs John Hughes
Free-agent DL John Hughes (Browns) signed with the New England Patriots Monday, Sept. 26.
49ers | Colin Kaepernick could start soon
San Francisco 49ers QB Colin Kaepernick (shoulder) may reclaim his starting job once he’s back to full health, according to head coach Chip Kelly.
Footballguys View: This should come as no surprise. Blaine Gabbert has struggled as the team’s starter, and (on paper at least) Kaepernick seems like a good fit for the Kelly system. We could see a change at QB for the 49ers in the near future.

Cleveland Browns CB Tramon Williams (shoulder) is day-to-day with a shoulder injury, while LB Nate Orchard (ankle) will be out for a while with a high-ankle sprain.
