Ravens WR Rashod Bateman (foot) remained sidelined on Thursday. He's looking unlikely to make it back for this weekend's game vs. the Giants.
Saints QB Jameis Winston (back, ankle) remained limited in Thursday's practice. It's still unclear whether he'll be back under center vs. the Bengals this weekend. We should have a better idea of Winston's status when we get New Orleans' final injury report on Friday afternoon.
Saints WR Chris Olave (concussion) returned to a limited practice on Thursday. He's made some progress through the protocol but still has multiple stages to pass in order to be cleared for Sunday's game vs. the Bengals. We'll get another update on Olave tomorrow.
Saints WRs Michael Thomas (foot) and Jarvis Landry (ankle) remained sidelined on Thursday. At this point, both guys look likely to miss this weekend's game vs. the Bengals. We'll see if that changes on Friday.
Bengals WR Tee Higgins (ankle) remained sidelined for Thursday's practice. He was spotted doing some rehab work on a side field but is looking unlikely to play vs. the Saints this weekend. We'll get another update on Higgins tomorrow.
Dolphins RB Raheem Mostert (knee) returned to a limited practice on Thursday. That puts him on track to play vs. the Vikings this weekend, although it'd be nice to see him get in a full practice on Friday.
Colts RB Jonathan Taylor (ankle) returned to a limited practice on Thursday. We'll see how that ankle responds and what he's able to do on Friday. RB Nyheim Hines (concussion) remained limited on Thursday.
Packers QB Aaron Rodgers (thumb) returned to a full practice on Thursday. He had a wrap on that throwing thumb, but there's been nothing to suggest at this point that it'll be an issue vs. the Jets this weekend. We'll continue to keep an eye on the situation.
Patriots RB Damien Harris (hamstring) was again listed as a limited participant in Thursday's practice. New England called up RB Kevin Harris from the practice squad earlier today, which is a good sign that Damien Harris won't be available for this weekend's game vs. the Browns.
Falcons TE Kyle Pitts (hamstring) remained limited in Thursday's practice. It looks like he's on track to return for this weekend's game vs. the 49ers, but we'll see how Pitts is listed on the final injury report tomorrow.
NFL Network reports that Commanders RB Brian Robinson will start tonight's game against the Bears and serve as the "lead back." That's not a shocking move after he led Washington in carries in his 1st appearance last week. But it's good to get confirmation that Robinson will likely lead the position in playing time. We'd still bet on J.D. McKissic leading Commanders RBs in targets. Antonio Gibson is now rendered to mere handcuff status (and far from a "must keep"). Robinson still doesn't sit high in our Week 6 rankings, but the news raises his floor if he makes sense for your lineup.
Pro Football Network's Aaron Wilson hears that Cardinals RB James Conner (rib) is expected to miss Sunday's game vs. the Seahawks "and perhaps additional time." RB Darrel Williams (knee) is also likely to miss Week 6, leaving Eno Benjamin and rookie Keaontay Ingram as the healthy RBs on the active roster. RBs Ty’Son Williams and Corey Clement are on the practice squad. The 207-pound Benjamin probably won't be a workhorse this weekend, but he can contribute as a runner and pass-catcher and could approach 20 total touches.
Cardinals K Matt Prater is out for Sunday's game vs. the Seahawks, HC Kliff Kingsbury said Thursday. Matt Ammendola will kick again for Arizona this weekend.
Commanders QB Carson Wentz is dealing with a biceps tendon strain near his throwing shoulder, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Wentz's availability for tonight's game vs. the Bears was reportedly in question early in the week, but he looked and felt good enough in practice to get the green light. Still, Wentz is "sore and not 100%, per Rapoport, adding risk to his Week 6 fantasy profile.
Chiefs special teams coordinator Dave Toub said Thursday that he expects Harrison Butker to kick against the Bills this weekend, "as long as we don't have any setbacks." Butker has been sidelined since Week 1 and was limited in Wednesday's practice. We'll monitor his status over the next few days.
Bucs beat writer Greg Auman believes rookie TE Cade Otton “will continue to have a decent/growing role” in the offense — even when Cameron Brate is healthy. Brate is seemingly on track to face Pittsburgh following a Week 4 concussion. While boosted by 52 Tom Brady passes, Otton did well to snag 6 of 7 targets last week vs. Atlanta. We’ll closely monitor how the Bucs divvy up TE snaps in Week 6.
Steelers TE Pat Freiermuth (concussion) got in a limited practice on Wednesday. He sustained his 3rd concussion in the past 11 months in last week's loss to the Bills, so we'd be a bit surprised if he was cleared in time for Sunday's game vs. the Bucs. But we'll continue to monitor his progress.
Panthers LB Frankie Luvu (shoulder) put in a full practice Wednesday. That bodes well for his chances of returning after missing Sunday's loss to the 49ers. We'll watch to confirm that.
Cowboys TE Dalton Schultz (knee) got in a limited practice on Wednesday. NFL Network's Tom Pelissero said earlier this week that Schultz is expected to be available for Sunday night's game vs. the Eagles, but we wouldn't trust him in fantasy lineups with this recurring knee issue.
Eagles RB Boston Scott (ribs) is off the Week 6 injury report. So he'll be back for Sunday night's game vs. the Cowboys after missing the past 2 weeks. Scott averaged 3.3 carries and .3 targets over the season's first 3 games, so his return is just a slight knock to RB Miles Sanders' volume projection.
