# Tyler DeSena: Previewing Miami's Week 10 trip to Indianapolis, DeSena expects center Aaron Brewer to be unavailable for the game while in concussion protocol, and frames the rest of the piece around Jonathan Taylor and Grover Stewart having big days, pressure dominating both passing attacks, and Ollie Gordon setting a career high in carries.

## More availability calls

The same kind of call, about other players and teams.

- JP Acosta on Mike Evans: Acosta argues no Super Bowl contender is flawless and names the fatal flaw for each, but the only firm forward-looking claim is that Mike Evans is unlikely to play against Dallas next week. The rest are conditional 'if they lose, here's why' framings rather than outright predictions. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/21061fbe-25de-4a51-9a45-33ca59fbf021 (not settled)
- John Breech on Micah Parsons: Breech offered five bold second-half predictions, chief among them that the Packers win the NFC North despite being the division's longest shot, and that the Broncos overtake the Bills for the AFC's No. 1 seed for a second straight year. Breech also expected Micah Parsons back on the field in Week 12. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/94390c6d-8c93-48df-b3e8-95b822d3a67f (not settled)
- Michael Moore on Hunter Henry: Running through the Week 10 injury report, Moore expects Rhamondre Stevenson, Puka Nacua and Mike Evans to sit out, while projecting Amon-Ra St. Brown, Bam Knight, Deebo Samuel, George Pickens and Hunter Henry to be available. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/cd84e832-035b-4ba3-90e9-e928c1396bf9 (not settled)
- Jack Markowski on Michael Pittman: Markowski writes that with no practice window opened, Pittman Jr. is unlikely to play against Cincinnati, while Ben Skowronek appears ready to return for that same game. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/c75bea81-68d2-49b2-8697-d899bf40db47 (not settled)
- Blaine Grisak on Puka Nacua: Grisak wrote that with Puka Nacua placed on injured reserve, the Rams receiver will sit out the next four games — against Arizona, Green Bay, Kansas City and San Francisco — and that Davante Adams should return after the Week 12 Packers game. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/6570ee51-64a4-445b-b4d5-88f7560c5689 (not settled)
- Blaine Grisak on Puka Nacua: Grisak laid out the Rams' injury situation heading out of the bye, projecting that Puka Nacua will miss the four-game stretch against the Cardinals, Packers, Chiefs and 49ers after going on injured reserve, that Davante Adams will miss at least the Packers game with Steve Avila likely out too, and that the 49ers will hold onto Brandon Aiyuk for roughly two more weeks because of the Commissioner's Exempt List. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/b7c57bb9-6605-4135-ac11-e2416dd1f31a (not settled)
