Colts RB Jonathan Taylor left in the 2nd quarter of Thursday night's game against the Jets with a knee injury. Indianapolis reached halftime with a 28-10 lead, so we wouldn't be surprised if the team shuts Taylor down for the night -- even if the injury isn't serious. We'll keep an eye on the situation either way.
Update: Taylor took the field to open the 2nd half.
Jets QB Mike White appeared to injured his right wrist in the 1st quarter of Thursday night's game vs. the Colts. He tried throwing on the sidelines but looked uncomfortable. QB Josh Johnson has entered for the Jets. White was playing well again before exiting, completing 7 of 11 passes for 95 yards and a score.
Update: White is officially questionable to return with a right forearm injury.
Cardinals QB Kyler Murray (ankle) missed practice again on Thursday. HC Kliff Kingsbury said Murray could play vs. the 49ers this weekend without practicing, but he's not a lock to be ready for that one. Check back tomorrow for another update.
Cardinals WR DeAndre Hopkins (hamstring) remained sidelined on Thursday. He didn't practice all last week and was active for the Packers game -- but he ended up playing just 15 snaps after aggravating the hamstring injury. Unless Hopkins gets on the practice field tomorrow, he'll be a risky Week 9 fantasy play.
Titans WR Julio Jones (hamstring) remained limited in Thursday's practice. We'll see what he does tomorrow and how he's listed on the final injury report for Sunday night's game vs. the Rams.
Rams QB Matt Stafford (back) missed practice again on Thursday. HC Sean McVay has said that he expects Stafford to play vs. the Titans on Sunday night -- and we haven't sensed any concern from Rams beat writers. But check back tomorrow for another update on Stafford.
Rams WR Robert Woods (foot) missed his 2nd straight practice on Thursday. HC Sean McVay said earlier this week that he expects Woods to play vs. the Titans on Sunday night, but his status is definitely worth checking back on tomorrow. WR Van Jefferson would turn into a strong fantasy play if Woods is out.
49ers RB Elijah Mitchell (ribs) returned to a limited practice on Thursday. We haven't heard anything to suggest that Mitchell is in danger of missing this weekend's game vs. the Cardinals, but we'll get another update on his status tomorrow.
49ers WR Deebo Samuel (calf) returned to a limited practice on Thursday. We're tentatively expecting him to play vs. the Cardinals this weekend, but check back tomorrow for another update.
Jets WR Corey Davis (hip) is inactive for tonight’s game vs. the Colts. WR Denzel Mims replaced him last week, actually leading the Jets with a 77% route rate. He came away with just 2 catches on 3 targets for 30 yards, though. Mims is only an option in 1-game DFS tournaments.
Chargers QB Justin Herbert (right hand) was upgraded to full participation in Thursday's practice. We'll see what he does tomorrow and how he's listed on the final injury report, but it doesn't look like we need to worry about the hand issue.
ESPN's Ed Werder reported on NFL Live that the Cowboys have an "unlimited" game plan for QB Dak Prescott (calf) this week. Werder said that means the team will take full advantage of Prescott's mobility outside the pocket. Dallas played it extremely safe with this calf injury, so we're not expecting Prescott to be at all limited vs. Denver on Sunday.
Jaguars RB James Robinson (heel) missed his 2nd straight practice on Thursday. It looks like he'll miss this weekend's game vs. the Bills, leaving Carlos Hyde as Jacksonville's lead back. It's a brutal matchup, but Hyde checks in as a volume-based RB3 or flex play.
Steelers TE Eric Ebron (hamstring) remained sidelined on Thursday. He doesn't look particularly likely to return for Monday night's game vs. the Bears. Ebron's absence would be good news for TE Pat Freiermuth.
Giants WR Kenny Golladay (knee) returned to a limited practice on Thursday. It was his 1st official workout since injuring his knee back in Week 5. Golladay has a shot to play vs. the Raiders on Sunday, but a return after the Week 10 bye might be more likely.
Saints QB Taysom Hill (concussion) was a full participant in Thursday's practice. He's either cleared the protocol or is very close. New Orleans hasn't officially named a starting QB for Sunday's game vs. the Falcons, but it'd be a surprise if it's not Hill.
Cowboys WR CeeDee Lamb (ankle) officially did not participate in Thursday's practice. HC Mike McCarthy said earlier in the day that Lamb would be limited. He was spotted doing some work with resistance bands before practice started. Check back tomorrow for another update on his status.
Panthers QB Sam Darnold (concussion, shoulder) remained limited in Thursday's practice. NFL Network's Mike Giardi hears that Darnold's shoulder injury is as much of a concern as the concussion. We continue to expect QB P.J. Walker to start Sunday's game vs. the Patriots.
Bears HC Matt Nagy made it clear that RB David Montgomery will "still get the bulk of the carries" when he's recovered from his knee injury, according to insider Mark Grote. Montgomery returned to practice on Thursday, but his status for Monday night's game against the Steelers remains uncertain. When he does return, though, he'll be the superior fantasy option to RB Khalil Herbert, who's played very well in relief of Montgomery.
Giants RB Saquon Barkley remains on the COVID list and did not practice on Thursday. His first 2 rapid COVID tests came back positive, but a PCR test later came back negative. Barkley is scheduled for re-tests later today and tomorrow. It seems like there's a good chance he's off the COVID list in time for Sunday's game vs. the Raiders, but it remains uncertain if his injured ankle will let him play. Missing Wednesday and Thursday's practices certainly doesn't help.
