Seahawks | Jadarian Price DNP with chest injury Thursday, Charbonnet and Okada return Thu Oct 1, 07:16 PM
Seahawks RB Jadarian Price did not practice on Thursday because of a chest injury, a step back after he was limited on Wednesday. RB Zach Charbonnet returned to practice Thursday after being designated to return from the PUP list. S Ty Okada, who did not practice Wednesday, also returned on Thursday.
| Footballguys view: With Charbonnet back at practice, the team opened a 21-day window for him to return to the lineup (or get shut down for the year). We'll see if Price can play in Week 4, and this DNP on Thursday is not a great sign. Emmanuel Wilson and George Holani would do more if Price can't play (and Charbonnet is not quite ready to return in Week 4). |

Broncos WR Jaylen Waddle, RB J.K. Dobbins and WR Marvin Mims Jr. were full participants in practice again on Thursday and look on track to play Sunday against the 49ers. DE Dondrea Tillman appears to be trending toward being out. DT Zach Allen went from a rest day on Wednesday to full participation on Thursday, while DT D.J. Jones got a rest day.
| Footballguys view: Waddle was hot in Week 2, and then he was cold in Week 3. We'll see if the team can get him more involved on the road against the 49ers. Having a strong rushing attack would help, but Dobbins looks like he's still shaking off the rust from being injured last year. We like Dobbins as an RB3/flex while Waddle is a WR2/flex for Fantasy GMs in PPR formats. |
Dondrea Tillman player page
Dolphins RB Jaylen Wright (foot) was upgraded to a full participant in practice on Thursday. He had been a limited participant in Wednesday's practice. Wright's stinger was previously removed from the injury report, leaving only the foot issue.
| Footballguys view: The matchup against the Vikings on Sunday is "not great Bob." However, Wright has big-play ability anytime he touches the ball and is listed atop the depth chart for the Dolphins. We've got Wright as an RB4 in PPR formats this week. Ollie Gordon will work in tandem with Wright, and we think he's in a similar flex/RB4 range. |
Jaylen Wright player page
Dolphins WR Caleb Douglas (ankle) and Vikings WR Justin Jefferson (ankle) both missed practice for a second straight day on Thursday.
| Footballguys view: Jefferson needs to practice on Friday for Fantasy GMs to feel good about his availability against the Dolphins. Everyone needs to keep an eye on his status, and there's a chance the team just calls him a game-time decision. |

Texans WR Nico Collins (hamstring) was limited in practice again on Thursday. DE Jadeveon Clowney (knee bruise) and LB Jake Hansen (calf) were also limited. DE Will Anderson Jr. (ankle), S Calen Bullock (quad), S M.J. Stewart (knee), LB Wade Woodaz (ankle, thumb) and DT Logan Hall (knee) were full participants.
| Footballguys view: Collins has been limited in two days of practice this week. The Texans' offense needs more firepower, and they've been missing Collins. The team won't rush him back, obviously, but it would be a boost to have him out there in what could be a shootout against the Cowboys. |

Jets RB Breece Hall (knee) did not participate in practice on Thursday. Hall also missed Wednesday's practice after being labeled 'week-to-week' following an MRI on Monday.
| Footballguys view: Hall is week-to-week with this knee injury, and it doesn't seem like he'll be ready for Week 4's game against the Bears. Braelon Allen should be the starter for the Jets this week, and we like him as an RB2/flex option for Fantasy GMs. |
Breece Hall player page
Panthers WR Xavier Legette (knee) has not been ruled out for this week's game yet, but is "trending in that direction." Head coach Dave Canales called Legette week to week on Wednesday. Legette did not practice on Thursday, while WR Jalen Coker (quad) was limited.
| Footballguys view: Coker is working to get out there in Week 4 on Sunday night against the Lions. The late start means Fantasy GMs planning on Coker need to be very certain of his status. We'll have a better idea if Coker will play after Friday's practice. A full practice on Friday would make us feel a heckuva lot better about his availability in Week 4. |
Xavier Legette player page
Saints RB Travis Etienne Jr. has been placed on injured reserve with a hamstring injury, head coach Kellen Moore announced on Thursday. Etienne will miss at least four games, starting with Monday night's game against the Falcons. He leads the Saints with 30 carries and 128 rushing yards, and Alvin Kamara, Kendre Miller and CJ Donaldson are the team's other running backs. The Saints signed WR Kevin Austin Jr. off the practice squad to fill the roster spot; Austin appeared in the first three games as a temporary elevation and has one catch for seven yards.
| Footballguys view: With a bye in Week 8, the earliest we can see Etienne out there is Week 9. In the meantime, Alvin Kamara takes over as the lead back for the Saints. Kendre Miller will get some work too, and CJ Donaldson might get an increase in touches. Against the Falcons on Monday night in Week 4, Kamara should perform like an RB2/flex option. |
Kevin Austin Jr player page
Rams WR Puka Nacua (groin/hip) was in pads for practice on Thursday. Nacua was limited in Wednesday's practice. DT Aaron Donald (back), who missed practice on Wednesday, was not seen during individual drills on Thursday.
| Footballguys view: Things are trending in the right direction for Nacua. He should be out there against the Eagles in Week 4. We've got him as a WR2 with WR1 upside. Let's see if he can play, and let's see if the Rams have him on any sort of snap count to prevent an aggravation. |

Titans RB Tony Pollard (foot) was upgraded to a full participant in practice on Thursday after he did not practice on Wednesday.
| Footballguys view: The "DNP" on Wednesday is in the past with a full practice on Thursday. Without any setbacks, Pollard is good for Week 4. We've got Pollard in the RB2/flex range for this week's contest against the Ravens on Sunday. |
Tony Pollard player page
Giants QB Jameis Winston will start Sunday's game against the Cardinals despite the team trading for QB J.J. McCarthy this week. "I mean, I have to play well regardless," Winston said Thursday. "It doesn't matter who's in the building. When you're the quarterback for the New York Football Giants, you have to give your team a chance to win, and that's just the business that we're in."
| Footballguys view: The Giants traded for McCarthy, a first-round pick in 2024, and he's likely to start at some point in the future. After struggling in relief of QB Jaxson Dart, who was ruled out for the rest of the season, in Week 2, Winston avoided turnovers while going 14-of-22 for 118 yards in last Sunday's 12-7 win over the Titans. Winston starts while McCarthy gets used to his new team/offense/teammates. |

49ers WR Mike Evans (ribs) worked on the side field at Thursday's practice, while WR KhaDarel Hodge (knee) was not seen. RB Christian McCaffrey (rest) and LT Trent Williams (neck) were practicing in the early portion. DE Nick Bosa (knee/calf) and rookie DT James Thompson Jr. (ankle) were not seen, while LB Dre Greenlaw (quad) and DE Keion White (hamstring) were on the side field.
| Footballguys view: The team wants Evans to play on Sunday against the Broncos. If he does play, CB Pat Surtain is likely to cover the veteran receiver. McCaffrey just got some rest on Wednesday, and he's in line for a large workload (and potentially huge production) against a Broncos defense that has struggled to stop the run. |

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. |
Jayden Daniels player page
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. |
DJ Moore player page
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.

49ers DE Nick Bosa is almost certainly going to miss Sunday's game against the Broncos with the calf injury that kept him out in Week 3, general manager John Lynch said Thursday on KNBR. "I think he's working through it, and when he's right, we'll have him back out there," Lynch said. "I'm not trying to be vague. Calf injuries are sometimes murky." Lynch also said WR Mike Evans (rib), who missed Wednesday's practice, is "going to make every attempt to try to play" through the injury, and that LT Trent Williams (stinger) could return to practice Thursday.

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.

Giants DE Brian Burns tore his meniscus in addition to his ACL, according to sources. Burns is scheduled to undergo surgery to repair both injuries next Wednesday at the Hospital for Special Surgery in New York City. Burns was placed on injured reserve on Tuesday and is expected to miss the rest of the 2026 season.

The Steelers are finalizing a trade that sends CB Joey Porter Jr. to the Cowboys, NFL Network's Tom Pelissero reported on Wednesday. Pittsburgh will receive a second-round pick and a conditional sixth-round pick, Jordan Schultz reported.
| Footballguys view: Porter missed training camp on the PUP list with a back issue amid the lack of a long-term extension, and although he returned to practice ahead of Week 1, he did not play in any of Pittsburgh's first three games. He had already been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Browns and has three career interceptions in three seasons. |

Giants QB Jaxson Dart's left knee surgery on Friday did not uncover anything more than the expected damage to his meniscus, PCL and MCL. "I think it was as expected. I think they saw what they thought they were going to see and just fixed it. The timeline doesn't really change too much," head coach John Harbaugh said on Wednesday. Dart's recovery is expected to take four to six months, and Harbaugh said of a possible return by the playoffs, "Maybe that's a little ambitious."

Bears QB Caleb Williams was listed as a non-participant on Wednesday's estimated injury report, as the team held only a walkthrough. Williams has a Grade 2 hamstring strain.

Seahawks RB Jadarian Price (chest) and RB George Holani (rib) were limited participants in Wednesday's practice. S Julian Love, who missed the Week 3 game with a calf injury, returned as a limited participant, while S Ty Okada (hamstring), who has missed the first three games of the season, was the only Seahawk who did not practice.

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. |
Baker Mayfield player page
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. |
