Hodge has been released with an injury settlement. Per ESPN’s Nick Wagoner, this opens the door for him to return upon healing while also saving a possible short-term injured reserve spot.
Wright should be rostered in 12-team leagues. He is now on track to play in Week 4 against the Vikings and is still listed ahead of RB Ollie Gordon on the Dolphins’ depth chart. The Vikings’ defense could bottle up this running back, but things might get a tad easier in Week 5 against the Bengals.
The Dolphins’ ascending rookie wide receiver is on track to face the Vikings this week, although he continues to be limited by his surgically repaired knee. Bell should be viewed as a FLEX starter with an admittedly tough matchup against the Vikings.
Per Fowler, sources around the league say Watson could get six total starts this year. The bar is low in Cleveland. Watson has not yet thrown for 240 yards in a game and has just five passing touchdowns this year. He is a QB2 against the Steelers tonight.
He appears to have no chance of being cleared for Week 4. Week 5 remains a bit murky; it would be early per his timetable, but we think he might at least have a chance of suiting up then.
A “Week-to-week” designation leaves us struggling to see any way that Hall plays this week. Braelon Allen should be a reasonable RB2 in Hall’s absence. Hall will likely be questionable at best for Week 5.
It’s trending in the wrong direction for Mitchell’s odds of playing in Week 4. We imagine he’ll get in at least a limited session Friday to see how natural it is for him to catch the football with his injured finger, but he looks headed for the questionable line — at best — against the Bears.
Taylor was sidelined all of last week and, so far, all of this week with the thumb injury. He’d need to mount a major comeback on Friday to get on to the questionable line.
49ers GM John Lynch said earlier today that Evans “will make every attempt” to play in Week 4 against the Broncos. The veteran receiver is no stranger to playing through injury. He attempted to do so last week with a hip injury, but taking a hit to the ribs knocked him out of the game. If active, he will be a WR2, albeit with re-injury risk.
It seems like he’ll be trending towards playing in Week 4, though it would be nice to see a full session on Friday. Sadiq isn’t necessarily a must-play TE1, but with Adonai Mitchell and Mason Taylor trending towards not playing, the circumstances that created his 105-yard explosion in Week 3 are certainly in place for Week 4.
The 49ers’ injury pileup at wide receiver, has made Hodge mildly relevant. He is on the wrong side of questionable for the team’s Week 4 game against the Broncos, though.
The full practice keeps him as a potential RB2/FLEX option against the Ravens for Week 4. Pollard dominated reps in Week 3 with Tyjae Spears active as a game-time decision. Spears looks to be a little better this week, but Pollard should be at the head of the committee still in Week 4.
It’s a little better than he did last week, when Spears only made it on to the practice field on Friday with this same ankle listing. It’s plausible he gets off the questionable line on Friday, but it certainly wouldn’t be surprising if he was listed there again.
49ers coach Kyle Shanahan said earlier this week that Williams was expected to resume practicing today. The fact that he is on track is a good sign for his Week 4 availability. 49ers LB Dre Greenlaw (bruised quad) is still sidelined.
No real surprises here; Meyers has played through this thumb listing in two consecutive weeks and will likely be removed from the injury report on Friday.
NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport mentioned in a hit earlier today that Jackson might continue to be eased up on in practice per his preference throughout the season, so don’t get too concerned if this keeps popping up. It seems like there’s no real doubt he’ll play against the Titans on Sunday.
It’s his first full practice since the leadup to Week 1 and paints a rosy picture for Flowers stepping in as a fantasy WR1 with no limitations on his snap count against the Titans. Flowers may clear the injury report entirely on Friday.
The Buccaneers’ starting running back is on track to play, but consecutive limited sessions suggest this isn’t something that can simply be written off right now. Irving missed time in the fourth quarter last week with the injury. Earlier today, OC Zac Robinson indicated that the team would like to get RB2 Kenny Gainwell and RB3 Sean Tucker more involved. He cited game flow and poor production as the reasons for Gainwell’s minimal involvement. Neither aspect is guaranteed to change, and the game scripts have already been falling in Gainwell’s favor. Tucker’s range of outcomes might be wider. Regardless, Irving remains the starter and should play in Week 4 against the Packers.
Godwin should be expected to play in Week 4 against the Packers at this point, although he has mostly underperformed thus far. Buccaneers OC Zac Robinson said earlier that Godwin Jr. “is a stud and will continue to do his thing. The ball will find him.” That might be harder than one imagines with an undrafted free agent rookie at quarterback.
This is a tough break. The Saints’ high-priced free agent signee will be sidelined for at least four games. Their Week 8 bye makes him eligible to return in Week 9. Veteran RB Alvin Kamara is the next man up, followed by RB Kendre Miller. Both should be rostered in 12-team leagues. Kamara will likely get the first crack at the starting job, but he has struggled to play efficiently this season, and coach Kellen Moore gave RB CJ Donaldson the backfield’s first green zone touch last week.
The Patriots’ rookie tight end has a chance to play this week. He is not yet involved enough to warrant TE1 treatment though.
Tyson is currently on injured reserve and will be eligible to join his teammates on the practice field next week. Moore added, “but we shall see” at the end of his statement, making it at least possible for Tyson to resume practicing in Week 5. For now, Week 6 could be more likely. Once activated from injured reserve, Tyson will have a 21-day window to continue rehabbing, if need be.
The 35-year-old, recently unretired defensive tackle’s back is hurting. He might have a chance to play this week, but his Friday participation level should shed more light on his current state. Stay tuned.
This is unfortunate. McConkey was limited yesterday by a new foot injury. Today’s absence suggests he suffered the injury at Wednesday’s practice. He is firmly in the questionable column at this time. Chargers WR Tre’ Harris has outplayed WR Quentin Johnston thus far, but the Seahawks’ defense is a formidable foe.
Scheelhaase also said that Nacua “twisted” to catch a pass thrown behind him yesterday, which the offensive coordinator took as a good sign. Nacua is on track to face the Eagles in Week 4. As long as he gets through the practice week without suffering a setback, Nacua is an elite WR1 this week.
