Texans RB Dameon Pierce (chest, shoulder) was limited in Wednesday's practice. We haven't seen any concern about his status for Sunday's game vs. the Giants, but we'll keep an eye on Pierce over the next few days.
Texans WR Brandin Cooks (wrist) did not practice on Wednesday. He's expected to play vs. the Giants this weekend -- if his health allows it. Cooks played through this wrist injury in Week 8. We'll see if he's able to practice tomorrow. WR Nico Collins (groin) got in a limited practice on Wednesday.
Browns TE David Njoku (ankle) did not practice on Wednesday. He said earlier this week that he's hoping to return for Sunday's game vs. the Dolphins, but this isn't a good start. Check back tomorrow for another update on Njoku.
Chiefs WR Mecole Hardman (abdomen) did not practice on Wednesday. HC Andy Reid said Hardman is dealing with "abdominal soreness" and is still being evaluated. We'll see if he's able to get on the practice field tomorrow.
Jaguars TE Evan Engram (back) was limited in Wednesday's practice. He missed some time in the 2nd half of last week's win over the Raiders, but it looks like he'll at least be available for Sunday's game vs. the Chiefs. What Engram does over the next couple of days will determine how safe a Week 10 fantasy play he is.
Lions RB D'Andre Swift (ankle, shoulder) put in a limited practice on Wednesday. That's an improvement from last week, when Swift did not practice at all on Wednesday. We'll continue to monitor Swift's health over the next few days, leading up to Sunday's game vs. the Bears.
Lions WR Josh Reynolds (back) did not practice on Wednesday. His absence this weekend would again leave Kalif Raymond as Detroit's #2 WR vs. the Bears.
Bucs WR Russell Gage (hamstring) did not practice on Wednesday. Don't count on him returning for Sunday morning's game vs. the Seahawks. Julio Jones and Scotty Miller wound up splitting #3 WR duties for Tampa last week.
Bucs TE Cameron Brate (neck) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice. That should put him in line to return for Sunday morning's game vs. the Seahawks. It's unclear how routes and targets will be divvied between Brate and TE Cade Otton, leaving both guys as unreliable fantasy plays.
The 49ers got LB Dre Greenlaw (calf) back for a limited practice Wednesday. He missed the last game (Week 8) with the injury that knocked him out of the loss to the Chiefs. We'll watch to see whether he's ready to return to the lineup this Sunday against the Chargers. DL Arik Armstead (foot, ankle) remained out Wednesday, which doesn't bode well for his chances of playing for the 1st time since Week 4. EDGE Samson Ebukam (quad, Achilles') also didn't practice.
Niners WR Deebo Samuel was a full participant at Wednesday's practice. He missed Week 8 with a hamstring injury but looks ready to face the Chargers coming out of the bye week. He should be back in your fantasy football lineups and sits inside the top 20 in our Week 10 fantasy football rankings.
The Cardinals projected QB Kyler Murray as a non-participant in Wednesday's walkthrough practice because of a hamstring issue, according to multiple reports. We'll see about Murray's level of involvement as the team gets back to regular practices over the next couple of days, leading up to Sunday's visit to the Rams.
Rams HC Sean McVay announced Wednesday that QB Matt Stafford is in the concussion protocol. The team reportedly discovered symptoms earlier this week, and Stafford was placed in the protocol on Tuesday. The timing here challenges Stafford's availability for this weekend's game vs. the Cardinals. If he's not cleared by Sunday, QB John Wolford will get the start. He went 22-of-38 (58%) for 231 yards (6.1 YPA), 0 TDs and 1 INT in a win over the Cardinals back in 2020, adding 56 yards on 6 carries.
Panthers RB Chuba Hubbard (ankle) is listed as questionable for Thursday night's game vs. the Falcons. He put in full practices on Tuesday and Wednesday, though, so we're expecting Hubbard to play. We'll get Carolina's inactives around 7 pm ET tomorrow.
Lions RB Craig Reynolds (ribs) has been placed on IR. Justin Jackson will step in as Detroit's #3 RB but is only worth stashing in deep fantasy leagues.
Saints RB Alvin Kamara's next court date has been pushed back again to January 23. The judge in the case also set a trial date of March 1. It continues to look like any possible Kamara suspension would not come until 2023.
Titans WR Treylon Burks (toe) has been designated to return from IR. He'll be back at practice this week and is eligible to play vs. the Broncos on Sunday. We'll see if he's ready. The rookie had worked himself into a full-time role before going down, although his volume still wasn't great. That figures to remain the case going forward, especially until QB Ryan Tannehill returns. Burks is worth a roster spot in fantasy leagues of 12+ teams, but he's not a viable Week 10 starter.
Bills QB Josh Allen (elbow) won't practice on Wednesday, HC Sean McDermott said. "He's day to day," McDermott added. "And the next question is, 'is he going to play?' We'll see." Although it sounds like Allen avoided a serious injury, he's genuinely questionable for this weekend's game vs. the Vikings.
The Panthers on Tuesday designated S Jeremy Chinn (hamstring) to return from IR, and he practiced with the team. Designating him to return opens a 21-day window for getting Chinn back on the active roster, so the team will still need to make that move before he can play Thursday night against the Falcons. Chinn also doesn't appear on the injury report this week because he's not yet back on the active roster. We'll watch to see whether he's ready for Thursday night.
NFL Network's Ian Rapoport hears that Bills QB Josh Allen's status for Sunday's game vs. the Vikings is "up in the air." Rapoport confirms that Allen is dealing with a sprained UCL in his throwing elbow. "Not considered to be a major, major injury," Rapoport adds. "The belief is it's something that he can play through." Allen is expected to be limited in practice to start the week -- and then monitored each day leading up to Sunday. Rapoport also describes the injury as a "functionality issue," rather than a pain-tolerance thing. "Sometimes, with this injury, it affects the grip of the football," Rapoport explains. We'll continue to keep a close eye on Allen's status. QB Case Keenum is Buffalo's backup.
