# Adam Schefter: Laid out injury and roster expectations — Saquon Barkley unlikely back this week and Will Shipley out for the Eagles, Lamar Jackson with a realistic chance to play against Cleveland with Cam Jurgens making his Ravens debut, and Tyler 'Snoop' Huntley continuing as Lamar's backup — and said it would not surprise him if the Bills and Rams met in the Super Bowl. **Claimed:** Oct 12, 2026 **Pundit:** Adam Schefter — https://missedtakes.co/pundits/adam-schefter **Outlet:** The Pat McAfee Show (podcast) — https://missedtakes.co/outlets/the-pat-mcafee-show-podcast **How it reached us:** said on air, transcribed by us **Original:** https://www.podtrac.com/pts/redirect.mp3/traffic.megaphone.fm/ESP1682187990.mp3 7 checkable claims — 4 availability calls, 2 conference champions and 1 depth chart call — each graded on its own rather than as one all-or-nothing call. It names 9 players and teams, each linked to their own record. None of them have settled yet — they grade once their results are in. Of the 1 unsettled call enough other pundits have weighed in on, this one lands above the rest of the room. > It wouldn't be a surprise if these two teams met in the Super Bowl. *(their words, quoted for attribution)* ## The claims - “And, clearly, Will Shipley won't be there. So right now, you got Damien Pierce back there in the backfield.” - Kind: Availability Calls · About: Will Shipley, Philadelphia Eagles - Verdict: not settled yet - **Tyler Huntley to be 2nd on the depth chart** - Kind: Depth Chart Calls · About: Tyler Huntley, Baltimore Ravens - Verdict: not settled yet - “my sense is he's gonna have a realistic chance to play this week, Lamar. And he'll have an opportunity to be back out there against the Cleveland Browns” - Kind: Availability Calls · About: Lamar Jackson, Baltimore Ravens - Verdict: not settled yet - “a game in which they are expected to get Cam Jurgens to make his Baltimore Ravens debut a week after they traded for him. So Jurgens will be out there.” - Kind: Availability Calls · About: Cam Jurgens, Baltimore Ravens - Verdict: not settled yet - “Saquon, when he ran out of bounds, obviously, they think it'll be under four weeks... But, again, to think that he'd be back this week sounds like it would be ambitious, but let's see how the practice week goes.” - Kind: Availability Calls · About: Saquon Barkley, Philadelphia Eagles - Verdict: not settled yet - **Los Angeles Rams to reach the Super Bowl** - Kind: Conference Champions · About: Los Angeles Rams - Verdict: not settled yet - **Buffalo Bills to reach the Super Bowl** - Kind: Conference Champions · About: Buffalo Bills - Verdict: not settled yet ## Who this take is about - Will Shipley — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/players/will-shipley - Philadelphia Eagles — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/teams/eagles - Tyler Huntley — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/players/tyler-huntley - Baltimore Ravens — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/teams/ravens - Lamar Jackson — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/players/lamar-jackson - Cam Jurgens — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/players/cam-jurgens - Saquon Barkley — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/players/saquon-barkley - Los Angeles Rams — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/teams/rams - Buffalo Bills — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/teams/bills ## What others said about the same people - Pete Prisco on Buffalo Bills: Prisco picked the Bills to win 21-14 at Minnesota. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/baf85732-a389-4d56-8efe-5ce1e77fb8ae (scored 76.19) - John Breech on Buffalo Bills: Breech picked the Bills to beat the Vikings on Monday night by a score of 24-17. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/4d22cd22-c9e2-4e03-ac32-129a116a34d0 (scored 76.19) - Jordan Dajani on Buffalo Bills: Dajani picked the Bills to edge the Vikings 24-23. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/28009098-d828-4465-9c7f-f92dac661f0a (scored 61.9) - Jared Dubin on Buffalo Bills: Dubin picked Buffalo to win a low-scoring Monday night game in Minnesota, 20-14. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/4535f610-1df1-45e9-a603-fae7ef72893f (scored 73.81) - Tyler Sullivan on Buffalo Bills: Sullivan picked the Bills to beat the Vikings 24-17. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/bd29eda0-d993-4b00-af09-edb0051a4f4b (scored 76.19) - Colin Cowherd on Matthew Stafford: Cowherd predicts Matt Stafford stays with the Rams rather than moving on, and says Travis Hunter may underachieve because they're being asked to play both ways — Cowherd doubts they're a No. 1 receiver and would slot them as a No. 2 receiver while being a No. 1 corner. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/005e6ad1-bc95-49da-9db2-3a9da2d5041d (scored 100) ## More availability calls The same kind of call, about other players and teams. - Parker Hurley on Deebo Samuel Sr.: Hurley argued the 49ers' real deadline need was a pass-catching tight end rather than a receiver, and stated that Deebo Samuel will be available to play this week for San Francisco. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/ae5291fa-ecc5-4950-9235-fba7a9bbbcd1 (not settled) - Ethan Hurwitz on TreVeyon Henderson: Hurwitz laid out that Henderson's IR placement rules the running back out through Week 14, with Week 15 against the Chiefs the earliest possible return, and suggested the season may already be finished given the Patriots' limited return-to-play designations. Hurwitz also projected Rhamondre Stevenson continuing as the lead back with Corey Kiner and Lan Larison taking on larger offensive roles. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/90dc59fd-f9cd-4003-8198-8469fd45d62e (not settled) - Bill Huber on Lukas Van Ness: Huber reasoned from the fact that neither Arron Mosby nor Nyjalik Kelly was elevated that edge rusher Lukas Van Ness, listed as questionable with a back injury, would be healthy enough to play in Sunday's game against the Vikings. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/4a68970a-3ae8-46c4-a395-298520a3614b (not settled) - Jose Sanchez on Keenan Allen: Sanchez argued the 49ers should have rested newly acquired receiver Keenan Allen against Dallas since Allen will go the whole 2026 season without a bye, but expects Allen to suit up and play every game starting with Sunday's game versus the Cowboys. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/fb08e172-6694-4e55-a092-2b59e28fa9a2 (not settled) - Alain Poupart on Chris Bell: Poupart expects wide receiver Chris Bell to be inactive for the Week 10 game at Indianapolis because of a knee injury, with Jalen Reagor elevated in place of Bell. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/cec7fbf1-6192-474f-9d80-f1efb9574ce8 (not settled) - Jose Sanchez on Keenan Allen: Sanchez expects Keenan Allen to play in the 49ers' game against Dallas in a limited role on passing downs, and argues an injury is more likely than not given age and injury history, meaning Allen will end up being more of the same at receiver for San Francisco. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/ee391462-23a7-487d-ae3f-667d892af236 (not settled) --- Accuracy is 0-100 against what actually happened. The naive guess is what a strategy requiring no knowledge would have scored on the same call — the difference is the skill, and it is what the MissedTakes Score averages.
