Monday injury updates: Mahomes day-to-day, Darnold out and Lock to start, McCarthy and Skattebo on track

Andy Reid said the follow-up news on Patrick Mahomes’ right elbow was “more positive than negative,” with rehab and soreness the main issues. Receiver Xavier Worthy (hamstring) and tackle Jaylon Moore (ankle) are also day-to-day.

Sam Darnold (quad, rib) is out again for Sunday’s game against the Raiders. Drew Lock, who hurt his oblique in the 17-3 win over Arizona, had a good exam, and Seattle expects to manage it and start him.

J.J. McCarthy’s hip pointer from the 19-11 win in Philadelphia is not expected to stop him from playing Thursday. Cam Skattebo, who was close to playing with his hamstring injury, is expected to be full go.

Mike Vrabel had no update on Rhamondre Stevenson’s knee after the 45-27 loss to Green Bay, joking the team is “wearing out” the MRI machine. Center and guard Ben Brown will probably miss the week before the Munich game against Detroit.

Justin Herbert is being tested on the middle finger of his left hand, and Jim Harbaugh said it “could be a fracture.” Deshaun Watson is expected to return against Houston in Week 10, and Todd Bowles does not yet know how bad Antoine Winfield Jr.’s ankle is.

The Giants’ first injury report of the short week will show how much McCarthy and Skattebo can do. Still to come are Puka Nacua’s knee MRI result, the Patriots’ word on Stevenson and Herbert’s test results.
