Phoenix Suns Guard Devin Booker Out for Second Game; Raiders Quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo to Start Against Lions; 49ers Quarterback Brock Purdy Clears Concussion Protocol, Slated to Start Versus Bengals

Booker absent due to ankle injury in the Suns' opener against Jazz, Garoppolo returns from a back injury for a Monday night match against Lions, and Purdy set to start for 49ers against Bengals following clearance from concussion protocol.

• Phoenix Suns guard, Devin Booker, continues to be sidelined due to an ankle injury that also caused him to miss Phoenix's Thursday night loss to the Los Angeles Lakers. He last played during the Suns' opening night win against the Golden State Warriors.
• Despite missing the Suns' first two games, Devin Booker had an impressive performance during the Suns’ opening night game against the Golden State Warriors, where he scored 32 points, six rebounds, and eight assists.
• Quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo returns from his injury and will start for the Las Vegas Raiders against the Detroit Lions in the Week 8 edition of Monday Night Football. Before his injury, Garoppolo had missed two games this season.
• Despite having a season marked by inaccuracy, with only 68% of completed passes and more interceptions (eight) than touchdowns (seven), Jimmy Garoppolo's presence seems crucial to the Raiders' success, who haven't won a game without him this season.
• Brock Purdy, quarterback for the San Francisco 49ers, has cleared concussion protocol and is expected to start against the Cincinnati Bengals. The 49ers will be reliant on Purdy to avoid a slide into a third consecutive loss.
