No. 1 in the 30-second version
Dolphins center Aaron Brewer is in the concussion protocol and missed Wednesday's practice.
According to SB Nation and The Phinsider, Brewer was concussed against Detroit, and Miami will watch practice reports to see if he clears protocol before the Week 10 game at Indianapolis. The same reports say defensive tackle Zach Sieler is out for the season with a torn biceps and quarterback Malik Willis was placed on injured reserve with a groin injury.

No. 2 in the 30-second version
Colts' Jaylon Carlies and AJ Haulcy missed Wednesday practice, while Arden Key and Justin Walley fully participated.
According to Stampede Blue, linebacker Jaylon Carlies (neck) and Akeem Davis-Gaither (knee) missed practice, and rookie Bryce Boettcher replaced Carlies after he left Sunday's game early. Right tackle Jalen Travis (knee) also missed practice after leaving early Sunday, so Luke Tenuta could make his first start if Travis cannot play. Safety AJ Haulcy (ankle), who missed the Cowboys game, also missed practice and could miss a second straight game. Defensive end Arden Key (hamstring) and cornerback Justin Walley (knee) were full participants, which would help the defensive line rotation and the secondary.

No. 3 in the 30-second version
Dolphins sign defensive tackle Keith Cooper Jr. from Panthers' practice squad to replace injured Zach Sieler.
According to The Phinsider, Miami announced Sieler will miss the rest of the 2026 season with a biceps tear suffered against Detroit. Cooper, an undrafted free agent who first joined Miami in January, has appeared in four career games with Cleveland and Miami and recorded one tackle, and he was placed on the 53-man roster immediately.

The Bengals and Eagles called off a trade that would have sent edge rusher Arnold Ebiketie to Cincinnati.
NBC Sports Philadelphia reported the deal would have canceled out a 2027 third-round compensatory pick the Bengals are due after losing Trey Hendrickson, since Ebiketie was signed by Philadelphia as a compensatory free agent. Bengals coach Zac Taylor apologized and said it was on Cincinnati's end. Ebiketie, 27, has played in all nine Eagles games with 25 tackles, two quarterback hits and no sacks.

The Eagles traded defensive tackle Jordan Davis to the Jaguars for a 2027 first-round pick and a 2029 second-round pick.

The Athletic's Daniel Popper gave the Eagles an A+ and the Jaguars a D-, while CBS Sports' Garrett Podell gave the Eagles an A and the Jaguars a B-. The trade clears room to keep Moro Ojomo, and NBC Sports Philadelphia argues the Eagles should extend him.
