Seahawks TE Noah Fant (toe) was limited in Wednesday's practice. Fant was sidelined for part of August with a previously undisclosed injury, which we now know is to his toe. The limited practice should put him on track to play vs. the Broncos on Sunday, but hopefully you have a more reliable option for your fantasy lineup this week.
Raiders TE Brock Bowers (foot) was limited in Wednesday's practice. The team has downplayed this issue, but it's been lingering for over two weeks now. The rookie seems on track to play vs. the Chargers on Sunday, but he'd be a more comfortable fantasy play with at least one full practice on Thursday or Friday.
Vikings WR Jordan Addison (ankle) was limited in Wednesday's practice. He's working back from an August 14 ankle injury and just returned to the field a couple of days ago.
Colts WR Josh Downs (ankle) did not practice on Wednesday. He's four weeks removed from suffering a high-ankle sprain and seems unlikely to be ready for Sunday's opener vs. the Texans. We'll continue to track Downs' status and see if he can make it back for Week 2.
Titans WR DeAndre Hopkins (knee) was limited in Wednesday's practice. He's expected to play in this weekend's opener vs. the Bears, but we're currently projecting his volume and efficiency to take a hit coming off the knee injury. We'll see what Hopkins does in practice the next two days and how he's listed on the final injury report.
Bills WR Curtis Samuel (toe) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice. He's on track to be available for this weekend's opener vs. the Cardinals -- and it seems like he'll be ready to play a full slate of snaps.
Steelers RB Jaylen Warren (hamstring) got in a limited practice on Wednesday. The fact that he was on the field at all puts him on track to be available for Sunday's opener vs. the Falcons. What he does over the next two days -- and how he's listed on the final injury report -- will give us a better idea of how much work he's in for. Warren sits lower than usual at 36th in the Week 1 RB Rankings.
Panthers RB Miles Sanders suffered a finger injury in Wednesday's practice, according to Steve Reed of The Associated Press. Carolina officially listed him as limited in the week's first practice report.
Bengals WR Ja'Marr Chase participated in the portion of Wednesday's practice open to the media. We'll see how he's listed on the official injury report later today, but this is obviously encouraging news in regards to Chase's status for Week 1 and beyond.
Falcons TE Kyle Pitts had a limited practice on Wednesday due to a hamstring injury per HC Raheem Morris. Per Morris, Pitts tweaked his hamstring a few weeks ago and has been practicing through it. There doesn't seem to be much worry about Pitts' availability on Sunday against the Steelers.
Eagles LB Devin White will not travel with the team for Friday's game against the Packers in Brazil. That marked a downgrade in his status after Philly listed White as a limited participant Tuesday. White's inactive status should leave Nakobe Dean and Zack Baun as the LB starters against Green Bay.
Texans RB Joe Mixon is "fully healthy" for Week 1, according to insider Aaron Wilson. Mixon missed some time in August and didn't play in the preseason due to a quad injury. But he's been back on the field for a couple of weeks now and will be ready for a full workload on Sunday vs. the Colts.
49ers GM John Lynch said Tuesday that WR Ricky Pearsall is doing “remarkably well," three days after being shot through the chest. Lynch added that he expects Pearsall to contribute this season.
Lions RB Jahmyr Gibbs (hamstring) confirmed on Tuesday that he's ready for Sunday night's opener vs. the Rams. Gibbs called his mid-August hamstring injury “a little tweak" and said he's currently at 98-100% health.
Texans second-year Edge Will Anderson Jr. might be iffy for Week 1. Anderson hasn't practiced since the week of the Hall of Fame game, which opened the preseason on Aug. 1. HC Demeco Ryans reportedly gave no specific info on Anderson's outlook after Monday's closed walkthrough.
Bengals HC Zac Taylor confirmed Monday that Dax Hill will start at CB opposite Cam Taylor-Britt to open the season. That means Hill -- who started 17 games at safety for Cincinnati last year, his second season -- has beaten out DJ Turner II. Mike Hilton remains the team's nickel CB.
The Panthers won't have RB Jonathon Brooks (knee) for at least the first four games of the season. That'll leave the backfield to RBs Chuba Hubbard and Miles Sanders. HC Dave Canales said Monday that both guys will be involved.
Colts K Matt Gay is dealing with a groin injury and is iffy for Sunday's opener vs. the Texans, HC Shane Steichen said. This doesn't sound like a long-term injury. But look elsewhere if you still have upcoming fantasy drafts. Managers who were hoping to use Gay Week 1 in a potential shootout should head to the waiver wire for a healthier alternative.
Vikings WR Jordan Addison returned to practice Monday for the first time since spraining his left ankle in an Aug. 14 practice. We don't yet know just how much he participated, though we'll start getting those reports Wednesday, ahead of Sunday's season opener at the Giants.
The 49ers have placed WR Ricky Pearsall on the non-football injury list after the gunshot wound he suffered Saturday. That means he'll miss at least the first four games, which certainly comes as no surprise.
