Washington TE Logan Thomas (hamstring) has been placed on IR. That knocks him out for at least the next 3 weeks, but NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports that Thomas is expected to miss "at least 4 weeks." He can be dropped in shallower fantasy leagues. In a corresponding move, Washington signed former Packers TE Jace Sternberger. We'll see how snaps are divvied between Sternberger and Ricky Seals-Jones, who stepped in as Washington's lead TE after Thomas left last week's game.

Per Packers beat writer Zach Kruse, TE Jace Sternberger “isn’t a lock” to make the team. Kruse writes that the team “clearly wants more consistency” from the 25-year-old. Just last summer, Sternberger looked like a fantasy sleeper at TE. But injuries and the rise of Robert Tonyan now has Sternberger’s roster spot in jeopardy. Oh, and he’s also suspended for the first 2 games of the regular season after violating the league’s substance abuse policy. We'll be curious to see how Sternberger fares if given a fresh start elsewhere, but for now, he's off the fantasy radar.

Packers TE Jace Sternberger received a 2-game suspension for violating the league's substance-abuse policy. He released a statement admitting to falling asleep behind the wheel after mixing alcohol and anti-depressants back in February of 2020. It's the latest letdown in what's been a disappointing start to the 2019 3rd-rounder's NFL career. With Robert Tonyan locked in as Green Bay's lead TE, Sternberger is well off the redraft radar.
