Bears QB Caleb Williams said on Thursday, "Before you start asking, I do not know if I'm playing yet," despite two full practices this week ahead of Sunday's game against the Falcons, The Athletic's Dan Wiederer reported. He still has checkpoints to clear and a "stress test" to pass before he can play. He has missed the past three games since injuring his hamstring on a fourth-quarter scramble in the Week 2 loss to the Vikings, and he disputed reports of a strain: "It was a hamstring tear, and a pretty serious one." Williams declined to reveal the grade of the tear.

Chargers S Derwin James Jr. (hamstring) did not practice on Thursday, his second straight missed session this week. James missed Week 5, and his continued absence from practice suggests he is on track to miss Sunday's game at the Chiefs as well. CB Donte Jackson (hamstring) and RT Joe Alt (neck) were also out again.

Commanders QB Jayden Daniels (left elbow) was a full participant in practice on Thursday. Daniels was set to wear a 'much larger brace' on his left elbow for Sunday's game against the Giants, with the offense expected to adjust.

Bills WR DJ Moore was not on the field during the media-open start to practice on Thursday. Moore, who is dealing with a shoulder injury, was an estimated non-participant at Wednesday's walk-through after being ruled out for Monday night's game against the Rams.
| Footballguys view: Moore seems to be on track to miss Week 6 against the Raiders. That means the Bills will turn to guys like Khalil Shakir, Keon Coleman, and Skyler Bell. Shakir led the Bills with 80 yards receiving on Monday night against the Rams. |
DJ Moore player page
Eagles DT Jalen Carter (wrist) was a full participant in practice on Thursday. Carter has been playing through a hairline wrist fracture, and his snaps had decreased. The Eagles host the Panthers on Sunday.

Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes (knee) practiced in full on Thursday. Kansas City hosts the Chargers on Sunday.

Broncos QB Bo Nix's ankle is "healthy and good to go" ahead of Thursday night's game against the Seahawks, but that "doesn't mean a return from an injury is complete," as mentally trusting it and taking hits take time. Nix needs to "let it rip" and also use his legs, while remaining in the pocket for the offense's concepts to work, especially with WR Jaylen Waddle, who "takes a second to get himself open."

Ravens CB Marlon Humphrey (hamstring/calf) was upgraded to a full practice participant on Thursday.

Ravens WR Rashod Bateman (shoulder) was downgraded to a non-participant in practice on Thursday. Bateman had been limited on Wednesday, when head coach Jesse Minter said 'he should be fine.' The Ravens play at the Browns in Week 6 on Sunday.

Chiefs WR Rashee Rice did not practice again on Thursday due to his hamstring injury. Rice also did not practice on Wednesday, per head coach Andy Reid. He suffered the injury in the first quarter of the Chiefs' game on Sunday, October 4.
| Footballguys view: This is a 'tweaked' hamstring according to Andy Reid. It seems like Rice is on the wrong side of questionable for Week 6. Xavier Worthy may be the top wide receiver for the Chiefs, and we've got him in the WR2/flex range. |
Rashee Rice player page
Giants DE Abdul Carter (calf) worked on the side with trainers on Thursday and was officially listed as did not practice for the second straight day, putting his availability for Sunday's game against the Saints in question. Carter has 2.0 sacks and is tied for sixth in the NFL among edge defenders and linebackers with 14 quarterback pressures, and he leads the league with 11 'quick' pressures, achieved in less than 2.5 seconds. The Giants are already without DE Brian Burns (torn ACL) for the season.

Titans RB Tony Pollard returned to practice on Thursday as a full participant. Tennessee plays at the Colts on Sunday.

Ravens WR Zay Flowers was added to the injury report on Thursday with a toe injury, a day after getting off the injury report. Flowers "seemed fine post practice." The Ravens play at the Browns on Sunday.
| Footballguys view: Ugh. He's played through the foot injury as recently as last week. He seems fine, and we'll be optimistic about his Week 6 status. |
Zay Flowers player page
Cardinals rookie RB Jeremiyah Love was not at practice during the open portion on Thursday. Love also sat out Wednesday's practice with an ankle issue. Thursday's official injury report is due later in the afternoon.
| Footballguys view: The ankle issue is reportedly to both ankles. The rookie is a playmaker but these injuries are slowing him down. Tyler Allgeier could be tasked with doing more if Love is limited or has to miss time. |
Jeremiyah Love player page
Titans RB Tyjae Spears (knee) was downgraded to a non-participant in practice on Thursday. Spears split running back snaps nearly evenly with Tony Pollard in Sunday's loss to the Texans.
| Footballguys view: Getting downgraded in midweek is never a good sign. Spears has missed practices this year but still played on Sunday. This might be different, and it's not like Pollard needs the help. Pollard can handle a larger workload, and we like him as an RB2/flex option against the Colts in Week 6. |
Tyjae Spears player page
Giants WR Darnell Mooney (neck) was a limited participant in practice on Thursday. Mooney was also limited on Wednesday.

Steelers RB Rico Dowdle was a full participant in practice on Thursday for the first time since dislocating his toe in Week 2. Dowdle was limited on Wednesday after being inactive for Sunday's win over the Colts.
| Footballguys view: Jaylen Warren has been dynamic for the Steelers, so Dowdle is set to return to a much different role. Dowdle could be seen as a 'what the heck' flex with Warren getting a bulk of the work. |
Rico Dowdle player page
Jets rookie WR Omar Cooper Jr. was a limited participant on Thursday's injury report ahead of Sunday's game at the Patriots. Cooper has been on injured reserve with an ankle sprain since September and has been designated to return. Head coach Aaron Glenn said on Wednesday that Cooper would practice that day.

Jets rookie TE Kenyon Sadiq was a limited participant on Thursday's injury report ahead of Sunday's Week 6 game at the Patriots. Sadiq was ruled out of Sunday's win over the Browns with a concussion and was still in the concussion protocol on Wednesday.
| Footballguys view: The Jets held only a walkthrough on Wednesday, so that day's participation was an estimation. The talented rookie tight end needs to clear the league protocol before he can play. Stay tuned. |

49ers DE Nick Bosa (calf) will not practice on Thursday, head coach Kyle Shanahan said. The team is hoping Bosa can play Monday against the Commanders. He missed the Week 5 game at Seattle.

49ers WR Deebo Samuel Sr. (hamstring) would be in consideration for injured reserve, but the team will hold off on the move because of its Week 8 bye, head coach Kyle Shanahan said on Thursday. Samuel was expected on Monday to miss 'at least a couple of weeks' with the hamstring injury.
| Footballguys view: With a Week 8 bye, the 49ers could be angling to have Samuel in Week 9. Without him on the field, the 49ers lose a key weapon on offense that they can't really replace 1-for-1. Jacob Cowing and Brandin Cooks are in line to do more. |
Deebo Samuel Sr. player page
Patriots CB Christian Gonzalez has practiced this week after missing the previous two weeks of practice, and he said he is ready for Sunday's game against the Jets. Zak Kuhr said Gonzalez "looks like he hasn't missed a step."

Saints WR Chris Olave was not seen at practice again on Thursday. Olave was one of three Saints players who were sick on Wednesday. New Orleans visits the Giants on Sunday.
| Footballguys view: It's an illness designation, so hopefully Olave is feeling better soon. Against the Giants in Week 6, Olave is a WR1 if healthy. |
Chris Olave player page
49ers WR Mike Evans did not practice on Thursday. He was listed with rib and Achilles injuries.
| Footballguys view: The 49ers play on Monday against the Commanders, so check back to see if Evans can practice on Saturday at the latest. He's a tough player, so Evans is a WR2 pretty much anytime he's out there. |
Mike Evans player page
Colts RB Jonathan Taylor returned to practice as a full participant on Thursday after a rest day on Wednesday. The Colts host the Titans on Sunday.

Bears QB Caleb Williams (hamstring) was listed as a full participant in practice on Thursday for a second straight day, putting him on track to start Sunday's game against the Falcons. Williams missed Sunday's game against the Packers with the hamstring injury.
| Footballguys view: Good news for the Bears here. The offense can be one of the most dangerous in the league when Williams is out there running the show. Hamstring injuries are tricky to deal with, but Williams is on track to start. If he practices fully on Friday with no setbacks, we've got him as a mid-range QB1 in Week 6. |

Bears RB Kyle Monangai (toe) did not practice on Thursday. He also missed practice on Wednesday and sat out Sunday's loss to the Packers. The Bears visit the Falcons on Sunday.

Patriots RB TreVeyon Henderson was shown on video running and cutting four days after suffering a high ankle sprain. Adam Schefter reported that the injury will sideline Henderson for multiple weeks.
| Footballguys view: High-ankle sprains take time to recover from, and it's usually about a month before we see players back in action. He's pushing to play in Week 6, but it's something we can't call right now. Circle back on Friday to see if Henderson can pull off a miracle and play against the Jets. |
TreVeyon Henderson player page
Eagles RB Saquon Barkley (hamstring) was not seen during the short media viewing window at Thursday's practice, ESPN's Tim McManus reported. That points to another day without practice for Barkley, who was also absent on Wednesday. Barkley had been described on Monday as having 'a shot to return' for Sunday's game against the Panthers.
| Footballguys view: Dameon Pierce and Carson Steele are in line for more work. We see Pierce as the lead back, and that could make him an RB2/flex option for Fantasy GMs. Without Jalen Hurts, the Eagles offense should lean on the run early and often. |
Saquon Barkley player page
Eagles WR DeVonta Smith (hamstring) was warming up but did not have a helmet on during the media viewing window at practice on Thursday.
| Footballguys view: Smith worked off to the side on Wednesday and was also listed with a toe injury in addition to the hamstring. Eagles HC Nick Sirianni said earlier this week he was 'hopeful' Smith could return this week. NFL Network's Mike Garafolo is reporting there is some optimism about Smith's status. |

Panthers TE Tommy Tremble (ribs) was in uniform but off to the side with trainers at practice on Thursday. Tremble was listed as limited on Wednesday's estimated injury report.

Panthers WR Jalen Coker (quadriceps) was stretching with teammates at practice on Thursday. Coker was credited as a full participant on Wednesday's estimated injury report.
| Footballguys view: Quad and ankle injuries have been bothering Coker, but he's practicing in full. Against the Eagles on Sunday, we've got Coker in the WR2/flex range for Fantasy GMs in PPR formats. |
Jalen Coker player page
Falcons QB Michael Penix Jr. was on the practice field on Thursday. Penix is dealing with a rib injury but was a full participant in Wednesday's practice, and head coach Kevin Stefanski said Wednesday that Penix will likely start, barring setbacks.
| Footballguys view: Penix is practicing in full as the team prepares for Sunday's game against the Bears. It's good news for the Falcons, but Fantasy GMs should look at Penix as a QB2 or option in superflex formats. |
