Cowboys WR CeeDee Lamb suffered a quad injury during Thursday night's game against the Buccaneers. His return to the game is questionable. Lamb had been a full participant in practice all week and carried no injury designation into the game.

Buccaneers QB Baker Mayfield could return for the Week 6 game against the Steelers on October 18. Mayfield is pushing to play, but with the game 10 days away it is too early for the Bucs to know medically whether he can go. The stitches in his thumb were removed on Monday, and his return is a matter of the thumb healing, his pain tolerance and his ability to grip the football. The medical staff will have a big say in whether he plays.

Bills QB Josh Allen addressed speculation about a knee injury after Thursday's practice and is not blaming his recent lack of scrambling production on an injury. Allen has 13 carries for 26 yards combined over the last two games against the Chargers and Patriots, including five carries for four yards in Sunday's Week 4 loss to New England, and appeared to pass up clear scrambling opportunities in both games.
| Footballguys view: Speculation had swirled that Allen injured his knee in the fourth quarter of the Week 3 win over the Chargers. In the first two games of the season, Allen ran 20 times for 92 yards and four touchdowns. We'll see if Allen can get back to his running ways in the near future. |

Bears RB Kyle Monangai is dealing with a turf toe injury that places uncertainty around his availability over the next one to two weeks. Monangai is hoping to play through it, and the team and player are still managing the situation. He has missed practice on Wednesday and Thursday this week. Monangai ranks seventh in the NFL with 324 rushing yards.

Steelers RB Rico Dowdle (toe) was limited in practice on Thursday. He was also limited on Wednesday after missing Week 4 with the injury. Pittsburgh hosts the Colts on Sunday.
| Footballguys view: Just a few days ago, Steelers HC Mike McCarthy said Dowdle is making progress in his attempt to return from a toe injury. That progress has him limited so far in two days of practice. If Dowdle is available in Week 5, we like him in the deep flex range against the Colts. |

Saints QB Tyler Shough (left hand) was upgraded to a full practice participant on Thursday. Shough had been estimated as limited on Wednesday.

Commanders RB Kaytron Allen, a 2026 sixth-round pick by Washington, was released.
| Footballguys view: Allen has been bothered by various injuries this year, but the rookie two-down banger should be able to land on another roster. It's interesting that the Commanders gave up on him after a month of the regular season. We'll see where Allen lands in the near future. |

Commanders QB Jayden Daniels (left elbow) was a full participant in practice on Thursday, his second straight full session. Washington hosts the Giants on Sunday.

Saints WR Chris Olave was limited in practice on Thursday with a "foot" injury. Olave returned to practice after not practicing on Wednesday.
| Footballguys view: Olave's absence Wednesday was listed as a "rest" day. Now, he's got a "foot" problem that popped up. Make sure he's practicing on Friday before starting him as a WR1 against the Vikings in Week 5. |

Saints RB Alvin Kamara (back) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.
| Footballguys view: Kamara left Week 4's game with a knee injury that checked out. Now, he's been limited due to a back issue. The veteran back is up against the Vikings in Week 5, making him a flex option. |

Jets TE Mason Taylor (thumb) was a full participant in practice again on Thursday. The Jets held a walkthrough on Wednesday, so that day's full participation was an estimation. Taylor was ruled out for Week 4 against the Bears. The Jets host the Browns on Sunday.

Colts WR Keenan Allen (rest, groin) was a limited participant in practice again on Thursday. Allen missed the Week 4 game in London with the groin injury. WR Ashton Dulin (hamstring) remained out of practice for a second straight day ahead of Sunday's game at the Steelers.

Bears QB Caleb Williams (hamstring) did not practice on Thursday, his second straight missed session this week. Williams was not expected to practice this week, and QB Tyson Bagent is set to start Sunday's game at Green Bay.

Bears RB D'Andre Swift (hip/knee) was limited in practice on Thursday after sitting out Wednesday's session.
| Footballguys view: The return to the field is a step forward for Swift ahead of Sunday's game at the Packers. Kyle Monangai is working through a turf toe injury, and his availability for the next couple of weeks may be uncertain. Swift should play, and we might see more Roschon Johnson if Monangai can't go against the Packers. |

Titans RB Tony Pollard returned to practice on Thursday ahead of Sunday's game against the Texans. Pollard did not practice on Wednesday because of a foot injury.
| Footballguys view: Same as it ever was. Pollard has missed practices this year, but he suits up and plays through his various ailments. Ankle and now foot problems have bothered the veteran running back this year. Against the Texans on Sunday, we see Pollard as a low-end RB2/flex option. |

Bears RB Kyle Monangai (thumb/toe) did not practice on Thursday, his second straight absence. RB D'Andre Swift returned to practice in a limited capacity on the same day.
| Footballguys view: Reports suggest Monangai has a turf toe injury, placing uncertainty around his availability over the next 1-2 weeks. Turf toe is a tricky injury to deal with, and it's best to let them heal as much as possible. If Monangai has to miss time, Roschon Johnson might be in line for more work behind Swift. |

Seahawks RB Zach Charbonnet (knee) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.
| Footballguys view: Charbonnet is working his way back from the knee injury that cut his season short last year. He's been ruled out for Week 5, but a return in Week 6 is possible. He should have already been stashed off the waiver wire. |

Seahawks RB George Holani (ribs) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.
| Footballguys view: Holani is dealing with a ribs issue, and that always comes down to pain tolerance. He's expected to be out there against the 49ers in Week 5, and that makes him an RB4/deep flex option for Fantasy GMs in PPR leagues. |

Chargers WR Ladd McConkey (foot) did not participate in Thursday's practice.
| Footballguys view: The Chargers are at home to take on the Broncos in Week 5. They do have a bye coming up in Week 7, so McConkey might miss more time just to get closer to 100 percent if he misses Sunday's game. It's a reaggravation of his foot injury, so Jim Harbaugh considers McConkey day-to-day. |

Cardinals RB Jeremiyah Love (ankle) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.
| Footballguys view: Love is not 100 percent, but he's trending toward playing against the Lions on Sunday. We like him as an RB2/flex option for Fantasy GMs in PPR formats. Tyler Allgeier could give him a breather more often if the talented rookie back needs to be on a snap count. |

Patriots WR Mack Hollins (calf) was not on the field for Thursday's practice, after also not practicing on Wednesday. With WR A.J. Brown still on injured reserve, WR DeMario 'Pop' Douglas led a shorthanded receiver group at practice.

Bills WR DJ Moore arrived at practice on Thursday to watch wide receiver drills from the sidelines. Moore wore a practice jersey but no helmet or other gear and was a non-participant. Head coach Joe Brady offered no specific update on Moore on Thursday but said he'll try "to be able to rock this week." The Bills play at the Rams on Monday night.

Eagles RB Saquon Barkley (hamstring) was not seen during the open portion of practice on Thursday. Barkley did not practice on Wednesday and was called "week-to-week" with the hamstring injury on Monday. The Eagles play the Jaguars on Sunday.
| Footballguys view: Zero surprise here as Barkley is not expected to play in Week 5. Will Shipley and Dameon Pierce will split carries with Shipley likely being the lead back. We've got Shipley in the RB3/flex range for Fantasy GMs this week. |
Saquon Barkley player page
Eagles TE Dallas Goedert appeared to be practicing on Thursday for a second straight day. Goedert was among six Eagles ruled out for the Week 4 game against the Rams.
| Footballguys view: The Eagles are getting thin when it comes to pass-catching options on offense, so getting Goedert back out there will help. DeVonta Smith (hamstring) and Hollywood Brown (ankle) are banged up. Plus, Dontayvion Wicks (hamstring) was added to the injury report on Thursday. |

Patriots RB Rhamondre Stevenson (knee), in shoulder pads and a practice jersey, left the locker room as players prepared for practice on Thursday, Mike Reiss reported. His level of participation will be known later in the day. Stevenson was limited in Wednesday's practice.
| Footballguys view: Stevenson was limited on Thursday, but it seems like he's on track to play against the Raiders in Week 5. Even though he's not 100 percent, if Stevenson plays we like him in the RB2/flex range for Fantasy GMs in PPR formats. |
Rhamondre Stevenson player page
There was no specific update on Bills WR DJ Moore on Thursday. Head coach Joe Brady said Moore is "going to be able to do everything he can to be able to rock this week." Moore suffered a shoulder injury in Sunday's loss to the Patriots that was not believed to be a long-term issue.
| Footballguys view: The Bills play on Monday night against the Rams in what some are calling a Super Bowl preview. Moore has time to get right, even though he didn't participate in Thursday's practice. Saturday is the big day, which should give us clues as to whether or not Moore is going to play. Stay tuned. |

Dolphins rookie WR Caleb Douglas (ankle) worked out on the side during the media viewing portion of Thursday's practice. Douglas did not practice Wednesday. The Dolphins host the Bengals on Sunday.

Bengals WR Tee Higgins was working on the rehab field during the open portion of practice on Thursday. Higgins (groin/neck) did not practice on Wednesday. The Bengals play at the Dolphins on Sunday.
| Footballguys view: Higgins has not practiced yet this week, but let's make sure to circle back on Friday to gauge his participation level. Ja'Marr Chase is practicing, but he's still in the NFL concussion protocol. While Chase may be closer to playing in Week 5 than originally thought, it seems like Higgins is on the wrong side of questionable. |
