Harrison went down with a non-contact injury in the third quarter. He rode the cart to the locker room. His day is likely over. Walker Little will take his spot at left tackle.
Right guard Tyler Steen is questionable to return with a shoulder injury. Philly came into this game without several key players because of injuries. Now they will be without even more players on both sides of the ball.
Shipley suffered the foot injury in the second quarter and was initially listed as questionable to return. He will now miss the remainder of the contest. Dameon Pierce is the only other running back on the roster with a touch today. Carson Steele is also active.
Schefter immediately added the caveat that the “overwhelming opinion” among doctors was that playing with a brace was a viable option. Daniels reportedly contemplated surgery after dislocating his elbow for the second time in less than a year. He opted against it and missed two games. Daniels is now set to return for Week 5 against the Giants. The Commanders could scale back his rushing for the time being, but OC David Blough already dismissed the idea that the playbook would be limited because of Daniels’ elbow injury.
Addison got in two limited practices this week before being listed as questionable. He was considered a game-time decision as of this morning, but it sounds like the team is going to hold him out for at least one week. Justin Jefferson, on the other hand, is expected to suit up. The offense will run through him, per usual.
Jordan Addison, on the other hand, is not expected to suit up because of a hamstring issue. Even at less than full strength, Jefferson will dominate the targets for Minnesota, especially with Addison on ice. Barring a setback in warmups, Jefferson remains a top-half WR1 play for Week 5.
Chase cleared the league’s concussion protocol over the weekend. With Tee Higgins (neck/groin) also expected to play, it’s business as usual for the Bengals this week. Higgins could be on a pitch count, while Chase won’t have any restrictions. Facing a pitiful Miami defense, Chase is in the running for WR1 overall this week.
Ja’Marr Chase (concussion) will also play. Higgins is likely suiting up at less than full strength, but fantasy managers have to keep him in their lineups versus a Miami defense that is giving up explosive passing plays at the second-highest rate in the league this year. He will be a boom/bust WR2 for Week 5.
Dowdle got in three limited practices this week before being listed as questionable. The team doesn’t want to rush him back, only for him to aggravate the foot issue, so he’ll miss today’s game before likely returning in Week 6. Jaylen Warren will get one more week of workhorse duties, putting him in the RB1 mix once more.
Allen missed Week 4 with the groin issue but returned to practice this week and even managed a full session on Friday. The team still listed him as questionable, though he appeared to be on the right side of that designation heading into the weekend. Allen will be a low-ceiling WR4 for his date with the Steelers.
McLaurin is listed as questionable for Week 5 after getting in a single limited practice on Friday. Even if he does play, McLaurin will likely be on a pitch count. Stefon Diggs has already been ruled out with a hamstring issue of his own. Rookie Antonio Williams will be asked to step up whether or not McLaurin is active.
Jackson was ruled out for Week 5 on Friday after failing to practice once this week. Rapoport added that Jackson has been “working like crazy” to get back on the field next week. Per Rapoport, that is Jackson’s goal. Tyler Huntley will start for as long as Jackson remains sidelined.
McConkey did not practice at all this week but was still given a questionable tag on Friday. He was always a long-shot to play after aggravating his foot injury in Week 4. With Quentin Johnston out this week as well, Tre’ Harris will be Justin Herbert’s No. 1 receiver. That puts him in the WR3 mix despite the Chargers’ dismal offensive performance through four weeks.
Murray was listed as doubtful on Friday because of a concussion. He returned to practice but couldn’t clear concussion protocol in time. Murray has started all four games this year, though we don’t think his absence will spark a revival of the Eagles’ passing attack.
Greenard was the only Eagle with a questionable tag headed into the weekend. The rest of their important players had already been ruled out. Greenard didn’t practice at all this week because of an ankle injury and could miss more time.
Flowers was limited in practice throughout the week but never appeared at risk of missing Sunday night’s game. The bigger issue for him will be the absence of Lamar Jackson. Flowers has been the most efficient receiver in the league on a per-route basis this year. That will come back to Earth sans Jackson, but he remains on the WR1/2 border, even with Tyler Huntley under center.
Skattebo was cleared from the injury report on Friday, so he was never going to miss this game. The good news is that the Giants don’t have any plans to limit his workload. Playing in a rain-soaked matchup with the NFC East rival Commanders, Skattebo is expected to see “an extremely heavy workload”, according to Garafolo.
Williams is technically listed as questionable for Week 5 versus the Packers, but Tyson Bagent is fully expected to make the start. Still, Williams’ return to practice on Friday was a pleasant surprise for Bears fans. If all goes well in practice next week, he could return after missing just three games, which was on the short end of his projected timeline.
Per Rapoport, Jeanty had a flare-up of plantar fasciitis last week to go along with his ankle injury. He added that Jeanty will work out before today’s game to see how he’s feeling. If he can’t go, Mike Washington Jr. would see the bulk of the backfield touches. Washington has been an explosive complement to Jeanty this year, averaging five yards per carry on 24 attempts. He would jump to the top of the RB2 ranks if Jeanty can’t go.
The same is true of Jordan Addison. Both Minnesota wideouts are currently listed as questionable for Week 5. Jefferson is from Louisiana and has already told reporters he plans to play in the homecoming game. We expect him to suit up, but fantasy managers should have a backup plan for him and Addison to be safe.
Kamara is listed as questionable with a back injury. He logged two limited practices this week. In the absence of Travis Etienne, Kamara has become the leader of a three-back committee. He only saw seven carries last week but did manage five catches on seven targets. Kamara is a PPR RB3 for his date with the Vikings.
Schefter immediately added the caveat that the “overwhelming opinion” among doctors was that playing with a brace was a viable option. Daniels reportedly contemplated surgery after dislocating his elbow for the second time in less than a year. He opted against it and missed two games. Daniels is now set to return for Week 5 against the Giants. The Commanders could scale back his rushing for the time being, but OC David Blough already dismissed the idea that the playbook would be limited because of Daniels’ elbow injury.
Humphrey logged one limited practice this week before being listed as questionable for Week 5. He’s one of several key defenders dealing with an injury heading into Sunday Night Football. EDGE Trey Hendrickson has already been ruled out, while S Kyle Hamilton is questionable with a groin injury. Even with some missing names, this defense still looks like a true test for Michael Penix.
Stevenson already told reporters on Friday that he was “ready to go”, so this news item doesn’t come as much of a surprise. Stevenson will continue to operate as the Pats’ top option in high-leverage situations, though he could cede more work between the 20s to TreVeyon Henderson. Both backs are stuck as low-ceiling RB3 options this week.
Barmore missed Week 4 with the shoulder injury but appears to be good to go for today’s matchup with Las Vegas. He was listed as questionable after practicing in full on Friday. Baremore has one sack on six pressures this season.
