Summary

Thursday Night Football will see the 49ers and Packers face off, but there will be some familiar faces missing. Quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo (0:23) expected to miss 4-6 weeks with an ankle injury, while tight end George Kittle (0:34) could be placed on Injured Reserve as he deals with a fractured foot. Green Bay's backfield (0:44) will be looking thin as running back's AJ Dillon and Jamaal Williams will miss the game due to COVID-19 concerns. The Cowboys quarterback position (1:46) in flux as Andy Dalton has been placed on the Reserve/COVID-19 list, meaning either Cooper Rush or Garrett Gilbert could get the start Sunday against the Steelers. It was quiet trade deadline (3:57), except for the Dolphins making a pair of moves on offense.
