NFL odds Week 8: Look for Commanders to cover, other best picks
Find out why Geoff Schwartz likes the Commanders to cover and read his other best picks for NFL Week 8.OCTOBER 28, 2022
Darren Hall - Set to make second straight start Hall is expected to make his second straight start in place of Casey Hayward during Sunday's matchup against Carolina, Michael Rothstein of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Hayward was placed on IR ahead of Week 7, and Hall stepped up as the starting cornerback opposite A.J. Terrell, recording six tackles while playing all 66 defensive snaps. However, Terrell (hamstring) will also be out for Week 8, making Hall Atlanta's top healthy cornerback. It remains unclear who'll start opposite Hall against Carolina, but it appears like the second-year corner out of San Diego State will be tasked with matching up against DJ Moore on Sunday.

Dean Marlowe - Expected to start Sunday Marlowe is expected to start at strong safety in the absence of Jaylinn Hawkins (concussion) during Sunday's matchup against Carolina, Michael Rothstein of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Hawkins picked up a concussion during Atlanta's Week 7 loss to Cincinnati and was ruled out for Sunday's contest at the beginning of the week. Marlowe, who'll be making his 17th NFL start, played 15 defensive snaps in Hawkins' absence against the Bengals but figures to see an expanded role versus the Panthers. Across his last 38 appearances, Marlowe has totaled 96 tackles, five pass defenses, two interceptions and 1.5 sacks.

Panthers RB Hubbard ruled out; Foreman to start vs Falcons
The Carolina Panthers have ruled out starting running back Chuba Hubbard for Sunday’s game against the Atlanta Falcons with an ankle injuryOCTOBER 28, 2022 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Dee Alford - Questionable against Panthers Alford (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Panthers, Michael Rothstein of ESPN reports.
Impact If Alford's able to play, he'll likely slide into the starting role vacated by A.J. Terrell, who has been ruled out due to a hamstring injury of his own. Alford's injury appears to be less serious, but it remains to be seen whether he'll be capable of playing through it come Sunday.
OCTOBER 28, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
A.J. Terrell - Ruled out for Week 8 Terrell (hamstring) won't play Sunday against the Panthers, Michael Rothstein of ESPN reports.
Impact Terrell will sit out after injuring his hamstring in the Week 7 loss to Cincinnati. The cornerback's absence could create more opportunities for Carolina's No. 1 wide receiver DJ Moore against a Falcons secondary that lacks depth. Terrell will shift his focus to healing up for Atlanta's Week 9 game against the Chargers.

Caleb Huntley - Sits out practice with illness Huntley didn't practice Thursday due to an illness, Josh Kendall of The Athletic reports.
Impact The nature and severity of Huntley's ailment isn't known, but he would be able to put to rest any concerns about his status for Sunday's game against the Panthers by returning to practice Friday in some capacity. If he's cleared to play this weekend, Huntley will likely work as a complement out of the backfield to Tyler Allgeier, who outsnapped him by a 27-11 margin in the Falcons' Week 7 loss to the Bengals.

Dee Alford - Limited Wednesday Alford (hamstring) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.
Impact Alford returning to practice in any sort of capacity is a great sign for Atlanta as he missed last week. Through his six games with the team he's recorded 15 tackles, one interception and two pass breakups. The cornerback will have two more chances to practice and recover prior to Sunday's contest against Carolina.

Cordarrelle Patterson - Eyeing potential Week 9 return Patterson (knee) posted a video Oct. 19 on his personal Twitter account featuring himself running at what appeared to be close to full speed.
Impact After being placed on injured reserve following Week 4, Patterson won't be eligible to resume practicing with the Falcons until next week. The Falcons haven't provided an official update on Patterson since he landed on IR after undergoing a minor procedure on his left knee, but the 31-year-old's recent activity suggests a return to practice next Wednesday is plausible. Even if that comes to fruition, Patterson would need to demonstrate in those practice sessions that the knee issue is fully behind him before the Falcons would entertain activating him from IR ahead of their Week 9 matchup with the Chargers on Nov. 6. While Patterson remains out for at least one more game, however, the Falcons will likely turn to rookie Tyler Allgeier to headline their backfield this Sunday against the Panthers.

A.J. Terrell - Unavailable for practice Terrell (hamstring) won't be available to practice Wednesday, D. Orlando Ledbetter of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
Impact Terrell suffered a hamstring injury in Week 7 versus the Bengals and is week-to-week according to head coach Arthur Smith. He'll likely have to return to practice in some form Thursday to have a shot at playing Sunday against the Panthers. If Terrell can't go in the contest, Dee Alford (hamstring) and Darren Hall could step into more significant roles.
