Eagles | DeVonta Smith (hamstring) not seen at practice, Hollywood Brown also appears sidelined Thu Oct 1, 02:42 PM
Eagles WR DeVonta Smith (hamstring) was not seen at practice on Thursday. WR Hollywood Brown also appeared to be sidelined. Smith did not practice on Wednesday, when he was listed as a non-participant, and Brown also sat out that day. The Eagles host the Rams on Sunday.
| Footballguys view: Mike Garafolo, from NFL Network, reports Smith is "now sounding like he's legitimately questionable" for Sunday's Week 4 game against the Rams. He played last week banged up, so Smith should be out there in Week 4. We like him as a WR1 against the Rams. |

Commanders QB Jayden Daniels (left elbow) was a limited participant for a second straight practice on Thursday and will wear a brace on his left arm for the rest of the season. "That's what the brace is for," Daniels said of reinjury concerns. "If I had that concern, I would have gotten surgery."
| Footballguys view: Head coach Dan Quinn said Wednesday there is still "a chance" Daniels plays Sunday against the Colts in London, but "we're not going to put him out there before he's ready," and QB Marcus Mariota would make a second straight start if Daniels is ruled out. |

Bills WR Keon Coleman was stretching and "looks ready to go" at the start of the media viewing portion of practice on Thursday, after missing Wednesday's practice with an ankle injury. WR DJ Moore was in a red non-contact jersey once again; he was limited on Wednesday with a shoulder injury. CB Christian Benford was once again not present at the start of practice.
| Footballguys view: Coleman should be out there in Week 4, but his role will be limited and not fantasy relevant. Moore caught 6-of-10 targets for 67 yards in the Bills' Week 3 win over the Chargers. He did that while limited during the week, just like he is this week. Moore is a WR2/flex with upside for us in Week 4. |

Panthers QB Bryce Young is wearing a small brace on his left knee, which he tweaked against the Browns on Sunday.
| Footballguys view: Just something to note here as the season grind has begun. Young was a full participant in practice on Wednesday and appeared to be practicing fully again on Thursday. We've got him as a low-end QB1 against the Lions on Sunday night. |

Panthers WR Jalen Coker was in uniform for practice on Thursday. Coker, who has a quadriceps injury, did not practice Wednesday. Monroe Freeling, who is in the concussion protocol, practiced in a red jersey.

Ravens QB Lamar Jackson (back) could be upgraded to a full participant in Thursday's practice, the reporter said he 'wouldn't be surprised' to see. Jackson was limited in Wednesday's practice. DE Trey Hendrickson (finger), C Jovaughn Gwyn (fractured fibula) and C Ethan Pocic (knee) were not present during the media viewing portion of Thursday's practice. Gwyn and Pocic are still likely candidates to go on injured reserve.

Falcons QB Michael Penix Jr. will get all the first-team reps this week, head coach Kevin Stefanski said on Thursday. Stefanski said it will be the first full week that Penix gets all of the first-team work. Penix returned to the lineup in Atlanta's Week 3 win over the Packers.
| Footballguys view: Penix completed 18-of-25 passes for 256 yards, one touchdown, and one interception in the Falcons' 35-14, Week 3 win over the Packers. He did that without a full week of practice with the first-team offense. Against the Saints on Monday night, we've got Penix as a low-end QB2. |

Buccaneers WR Chris Godwin Jr. (ankle) was practicing on Thursday as the team worked in pads, after he did not practice on Wednesday. RB Bucky Irving (glute), who was limited on Wednesday, and DT Rakeem Nuñez-Roches (ankle/foot) were also practicing, as were LB Josiah Trotter and DE Yaya Diaby. Rookie DE Rueben Bain Jr. was working with a trainer, and CB Jacob Parrish was not seen.

Jaguars WR Jakobi Meyers was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice as he continues to manage the thumb injury he suffered in training camp. RB LeQuint Allen Jr., DT DaVon Hamilton, CB Christian Braswell and rookie DT Albert Regis were also limited, while CB Jarrian Jones (hip) was a full participant. On the Bengals' side, starting S Jordan Battle and S Bryan Cook were limited ahead of Sunday's Week 4 matchup in Cincinnati.

Commanders QB Jayden Daniels said on Thursday that he won't make a final decision about having surgery on his left elbow until after the season. Daniels was limited in Wednesday's practice and has been throwing as he works back from the elbow injury.

Commanders QB Jayden Daniels (elbow) was throwing on Thursday, his second day of throwing. Daniels was limited in Wednesday's practice and has not been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Colts. He will wear a brace for the rest of the season.

Chargers RB Keaton Mitchell was wearing a walking boot on his left foot in the open locker room on Wednesday. Mitchell was not on the injury report and said he was OK.

Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes (knee) was a full participant in practice on Wednesday. Mahomes took a hard hit in the end zone on Sunday but stayed in the game.
| Footballguys view: Good news for the Chiefs here. Mahomes is looking good this year, and we like him in his usual QB1 spot against the Raiders on Sunday. |
Patrick Mahomes II player page
Broncos WR Jaylen Waddle was a full participant in Wednesday's practice.
| Footballguys view: Reports indicated Waddle was seen wearing a boot at home, but it's seen as a non-serious issue. Waddle should be good to go against the 49ers on Sunday. He was quiet in Week 3 after a monster performance in Week 2. We like Waddle as a WR2/flex with upside in this matchup. |
Jaylen Waddle player page
49ers WR Mike Evans (ribs) did not participate in Wednesday's practice.
| Footballguys view: The 49ers are at home to face the Broncos on Sunday. They are working to get Evans out there, but expect him to miss most of practice this week. Rib injuries usually come down to pain tolerance, so Evans may be a game-time decision for Week 4. That means all Fantasy GMs need to check his status on Friday to see whether his decision gets pushed to gameday morning. |
Mike Evans player page
Bears head coach Ben Johnson was not ready to name a starting quarterback for Sunday's home game against the Jets on Wednesday, saying "We've got three guys" and that the starter will be "whoever we feel like gives us the best chance to win." Johnson said QB Case Keenum's performance in Monday's 27-7 win over the Eagles, when he threw for 247 yards and two touchdowns and ran for another score, "plays a part of the evaluation," adding that "the direction's already been made, so we'll be in good shape for Sunday." QB Caleb Williams (hamstring) is "getting better every single day" but would not be at Wednesday's walkthrough, Johnson said. QB Tyson Bagent was not cleared from the concussion protocol until Sunday.
| Footballguys view: Keenum was simply dazzling on Monday night against the Eagles. If Williams can't play, although he should be getting closer to a return, we think it makes sense to stick with Keenum over Tyson Bagent. Coming out of training camp, Bagent won the no.2 job behind Williams. We'll see if Johnson rides the hot hand (Keenum) this week. |
Tyson Bagent player page
Commanders QB Jayden Daniels (elbow) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.
| Footballguys view: Daniels is getting some work in practice, but it seems like Marcus Mariota will get another start. The team responded to Mariota last week with a big win over Seattle. We have Mariota as a QB2 option against the Colts in Week 4. He's an option for Fantasy GMs in start-2QB/superflex leagues. |

Buccaneers QB Baker Mayfield (thumb) did not participate in Wednesday's practice.
| Footballguys view: NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports an MRI revealed no ligament or tendon damage to Mayfield's dislocated thumb. Buccaneers HC Todd Bowles said Mayfield is looking at a minimum three-week absence. In the meantime, we'll see undrafted rookie QB Jalon Daniels against the Packers. |

Buccaneers WR Chris Godwin Jr. (ankle) did not participate in Wednesday's practice.
| Footballguys view: Undrafted rookie QB Jalon Daniels is going to start for the Buccaneers with Baker Mayfield (thumb) out of action for a few weeks. At less than 100 percent, and with a backup quarterback tossing him the ball, we've got Godwin more in the deep (what the heck) flex range in Week 4. |
Chris Godwin Jr. player page
Vikings RB Aaron Jones Sr. was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.
| Footballguys view: Jones had 17 rushes for 58 yards in the Vikings' Week 3 win against the Buccaneers, while also snaring five catches for 34 yards. The Vikings are feeding him the rock early and often. Against the Dolphins in Week 4, Jones is an RB2 with upside. |
Aaron Jones Sr. player page
Panthers RB Chuba Hubbard did not participate in Wednesday's practice.
| Footballguys view: Hubbard is getting an expanded workload with Jonathon Brooks on IR. He rushed 19 times for 82 yards in the Panthers' Week 3 loss to the Browns, and Hubbard also had four receptions for 28 yards. He's getting some rest on Wednesday with an eye on a healthy workload on Sunday night against the Lions. We like him as an RB1/RB2 option, so make sure he is at least limited on Friday. |
Chuba Hubbard player page
Buccaneers RB Bucky Irving (lower body) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.
| Footballguys view: Irving should be out there against the Packers in Week 4. The team needs all the help they can get on offense with undrafted rookie QB Jalon Daniels set to start. We've got Irving as an RB2/flex option for Fantasy GMs in PPR leagues. |
Bucky Irving player page
Vikings WR Justin Jefferson (ankle) did not participate in Wednesday's practice.
| Footballguys view: There is a chance we'll see Jefferson on the field Sunday against the Dolphins. See what he can do on Friday at the latest. Have other plans ready just in case, but Jefferson should perform like a WR1 (as usual) if he's out there in Week 4. |
Justin Jefferson player page
Rams head coach Sean McVay said on Wednesday that TE Terrance Ferguson being unlikely to play Sunday against the Eagles opens the door for rookie TE Max Klare to see more snaps. "It certainly does," McVay said. "Obviously being able to play with multiple tight ends has become a big part of our identity, and so it absolutely does."
| Footballguys view: The rookie second-round pick is a seam-ripper who can make plays with the ball in his hands. He's capable of lining up in the slot, in-line, or out wide -- something McVay should use to his advantage. We love the rookie in dynasty formats, and we'll see if he can get enough work to be fantasy relevant for GMs in redraft leagues. |

Free agent WR Tyreek Hill tweeted on Wednesday that he is "ready for some cold weather" after spending the previous four NFL seasons with the Dolphins. The post came around the time the Packers announced WR Jayden Reed (neck) will miss the rest of the season. Hill, 32, suffered a torn ACL and a dislocated knee in Week 4 of last season, and he tweeted on Monday that it's "almost time to get off the couch and get to work."
| Footballguys view: Earlier this month, Hill's agent Drew Rosenhaus said doctors recommended the veteran wide receiver postpone his comeback until "perhaps some time in October." Well, here we are and Hill is putting the word out that he's back up. Now, we'll see if any team wants to bite. He suffered a dislocated knee, torn ACL and LCL, along with other ligament damage in Week 4 last season. Coming back from that serious injury, Hill should have some suitors if he can pass a physical. That means we might be recommending him as a waiver wire addition in the near future. Stay tuned. |

Texans WR Nico Collins returned to practice on Wednesday. The 0-3 Texans are hoping the returns of Collins and Ed Ingram will boost their struggling offense against the Cowboys on Sunday.
| Footballguys view: There's a good chance we see Collins in Week 4. After missing two games in a row, Collins is finally trending in the right direction. The Texans need help on offense, and Collins will provide that for C.J. Stroud. In fact, Collins should step back into his normal WR1 role for Fantasy GMs if he can get out there on Sunday. |

Ravens QB Lamar Jackson was one of five players not present during the media viewing portion of Wednesday's practice. DE Trey Hendrickson (finger), DT Calais Campbell (likely rest day), C Jovaughn Gwyn (broken fibula) and C Ethan Pocic (knee) were also not present. WR Zay Flowers (hamstring) was practicing Wednesday, and LT Ronnie Stanley (toe) returned to practice after not playing Sunday.
| Footballguys view: A limited practice to start the week is a good sign for Flowers. He was on a snap count last week, but he still was able to contribute. Flowers caught 5-of-6 targets for 84 yards in the Ravens' Week 3 win over the Cowboys, adding one carry for 20 additional yards. Even if he's on a snap count again, we like Flowers as a high-end WR2 for Fantasy GMs in PPR formats. |

Jets TE Kenyon Sadiq and TE Jeremy Ruckert both worked in the rehab area during positional drills at Wednesday's practice. Head coach Aaron Glenn said both tight ends were "limited" on Wednesday.

Panthers QB Bryce Young was leading the offense in install drills during practice on Wednesday, indicating he was practicing in earnest.
| Footballguys view: Young was kicked in the leg in Sunday's loss to the Browns and underwent imaging, but head coach Dave Canales said on Monday he expects Young to play against the Lions. Young is fully practicing on Wednesday, and he should perform like a low-end QB1 for Fantasy GMs. |
Bryce Young player page
Panthers WR Jalen Coker had his helmet but was off to the side with trainers during the team stretch at Wednesday's practice. Coker is dealing with a quad strain that was described as "relatively mino"' on Monday.
| Footballguys view: Panthers HC Dave Canales wants to see Coker move around a bit before he gets out there to practice. He's considered day-to-day with this quad injury. Coker is considered questionable for Week 4 against the Lions, so make sure to have a backup plan ready. |

Lions WR Jameson Williams will not be charged after police investigated him this month for an assault complaint. A woman had accused Williams of assaulting her.

Dolphins RB Jaylen Wright will be a limited participant in practice on Wednesday, head coach Jeff Hafley said. Rookie WR Caleb Douglas will not practice. Wright missed Sunday's game against the Chiefs, and Douglas was ruled out for that game. De'Von Achane was placed on injured reserve on Monday.
| Footballguys view: Fantasy GMs are looking to Wright, especially if they didn't get Ollie Gordon II on the waiver wire this week. The Dolphins are likely to use an RBBC featuring both Gordon and Wright (if healthy). Wright said he was "very close" to playing in Week 3, so we imagine he'll be out there in Week 4 barring any setback. We see Gordon as an RB3/flex option and Wright is a big-play RB4/deep flex option for Fantasy GMs in Week 4. |

Packers WR Jayden Reed will undergo season-ending neck surgery, head coach Matt LaFleur told reporters on Wednesday. Reed was placed on injured reserve Wednesday. Green Bay went through a lengthy process with many evaluations and opinions and took a patient approach before deciding surgery was the best course of action for Reed.
| Footballguys view: Neck injuries are nothing to mess around with, so the Packers are shutting him down for the 2026 season. Reed will have to see if he can make a comeback next season. Without Reed, the Packers will turn to guys like TE Tucker Kraft, WR Christian Watson, and WR Matthew Golden even more in the passing attack. |
Jayden Reed player page
Titans RBs Tony Pollard and Tyjae Spears will not practice on Wednesday. Spears limped off the field during Sunday's Week 3 loss at the Giants, and Pollard dealt with an ankle issue last week before avoiding an injury designation.
| Footballguys view: Both missed practice last week, but both played in Week 3. Spears seemed like he was a bit more banged up a week ago, then he left the Giants game. Circle back to see what Pollard does on Friday, and Fantasy GMs should plan on him being an RB3/flex option against the Ravens. For what it's worth, Titans HC Robert Saleh said he isn't concerned about either's injury status. |

Jets rookie TE Kenyon Sadiq was limited at practice on Wednesday. The Jets visit the Bears on Sunday.
| Footballguys view: Let's see if Sadiq can get out there by Friday at the latest. He exploded last week for 105 yards and a touchdown in the Jets' Week 3 loss to the Lions. With Adonai Mitchell and Mason Taylor perhaps out of action on Sunday, Sadiq should produce like a low-end TE1 for Fantasy GMs. |
Kenyon Sadiq player page
Packers head coach Matt LaFleur said on Wednesday that WR Jayden Reed's neck injury will end his season. LaFleur added that the injury is not considered career-ending: "From my understanding, no. But he will be out a significant amount of time." Reed was placed on injured reserve with the neck injury earlier on Wednesday.

Jets RB Breece Hall, TE Mason Taylor, WR Adonai Mitchell, LB Kiko Mauigoa and G Dylan Parham did not practice on Wednesday. Head coach Aaron Glenn said all five are "week to week." Glenn added there is a "good chance" S Minkah Fitzpatrick plays Sunday against the Bears.
| Footballguys view: Braelon Allen would be the top back for the Jets if Hall is out against the Bears on Sunday. We like Allen as a runner, and Fantasy GMs should consider him an RB2 option if he gets the starting nod. Mitchell was out of action in Week 3, and a missed practice on Wednesday means he may not yet be ready to return. Let's see if he can get out there later in the week. Garrett Wilson and Kenyon Sadiq would do more if Mitchell has to miss another game. |

Panthers WR David Moore was signed to the active roster from the practice squad.
| Footballguys view: The Panthers have some banged up wide receivers, so that's why Moore gets the call-up. Panthers HC Dave Canales said WR Jalen Coker (who missed Wednesday's practice with a quad injury) is "more day-to-day" while WR Xavier Legette (knee) is week-to-week. |
David Moore player page
Buccaneers WR Jalen McMillan (knee) has been placed on injured reserve. ESPN lists an estimated return of November 22.
| Footballguys view: It's a PCL injury for McMillan, and he's expected to miss 6-8 weeks. McMillan has yet to play a full season in the NFL, and he's coming off a 2025 season where he missed all but four games. With zero catches this year in two games played, it's not like he's a big part of their offensive plan. |
Jalen McMillan player page
Commanders head coach Dan Quinn said on Wednesday that QB Jayden Daniels (elbow) will be limited in practice this week. The team will decide on Friday whether Daniels will play in Sunday's game against the Colts.
| Footballguys view: Quinn was clear about Daniels' status: "We're not going to put him out there until he's ready." Reports indicate Daniels will wear a brace for the rest of the season when he returns. Circle back on Friday to check on his status, but at this time it seems like we might see Marcus Mariota start for the Commanders again this week. |

Commanders RB Rachaad White (shoulder) will not participate in Wednesday's practice, head coach Dan Quinn said. White returned to Sunday's game against the Seahawks.
| Footballguys view: White may have to miss the Commanders' game against the Colts this week. Quinn did not say if Austin Ekeler, signed earlier this week, would be available to play in Week 4. Jacory Croskey-Merritt is set to get more playing time if White can't play and Ekeler is not yet ready to play. We like Croskey-Merritt as an RB3/flex option for Fantasy GMs out there. |
