Bills | DJ Moore not on field for start of Thursday practice Thu Oct 15, 05:43 PM
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. |

Eagles | Jalen Carter practices in full Thursday Thu Oct 15, 05:36 PM

Broncos | Bo Nix's ankle 'healthy and good to go' but return from injury not complete Thu Oct 15, 04:49 PM
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."

Chiefs | Rashee Rice misses practice again Thursday Thu Oct 15, 04:39 PM
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. |

Giants | Abdul Carter held out of practice for second straight day Thu Oct 15, 04:38 PM
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.

Ravens | Zay Flowers back on injury report with toe injury, 'seemed fine post practice' Thu Oct 15, 04:32 PM
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. |

Cardinals | Jeremiyah Love absent from practice again Thursday with ankle issue Thu Oct 15, 04:31 PM
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. |

Titans | Tyjae Spears downgraded to non-participant Thursday Thu Oct 15, 04:21 PM
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. |

Giants | Darnell Mooney limited again on Thursday Thu Oct 15, 04:06 PM
Giants WR Darnell Mooney (neck) was a limited participant in practice on Thursday. Mooney was also limited on Wednesday.

Steelers | Rico Dowdle a full participant in practice on Thursday Thu Oct 15, 04:02 PM
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. |

Jets | Omar Cooper Jr. limited in practice while designated to return from IR Thu Oct 15, 04:00 PM
Jets rookie WR Omar Cooper Jr. was a limited participant on Thursday's injury report ahead of Sunday's game at the Patriots.

Jets | Kenyon Sadiq limited at Thursday practice as he returns from concussion Thu Oct 15, 04:00 PM
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 | Nick Bosa won't practice Thursday, team hoping he plays Monday Thu Oct 15, 03:55 PM
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 | Deebo Samuel IR candidate, but 49ers holding off due to Week 8 bye Thu Oct 15, 03:55 PM
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. |

Patriots | Christian Gonzalez 'hasn't missed a step', says he's ready for Sunday Thu Oct 15, 03:54 PM
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 | Chris Olave not seen at practice again Thursday Thu Oct 15, 03:52 PM
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. |

49ers | Mike Evans does not practice Thursday Thu Oct 15, 03:45 PM
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. |

Bears | Caleb Williams full again, 'on track to start' vs. Falcons Thu Oct 15, 03:31 PM
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 | Kyle Monangai misses practice again Thursday Thu Oct 15, 03:30 PM
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 | TreVeyon Henderson seen running and cutting four days after injury Thu Oct 15, 02:47 PM
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. |

Eagles | Saquon Barkley not spotted at Thursday practice, 'another day without practice' Thu Oct 15, 02:24 PM
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. |

Eagles | DeVonta Smith warming up without helmet Thursday Thu Oct 15, 02:22 PM
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 | Jalen Coker stretching with teammates at Thursday's practice Thu Oct 15, 01:55 PM
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. |

Falcons | Michael Penix Jr. on the practice field again Thursday Thu Oct 15, 01:24 PM
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. |

Buccaneers | OC Zac Robinson confirms Baker Mayfield won't play vs. Steelers Thu Oct 15, 01:19 PM
Buccaneers offensive coordinator Zac Robinson confirmed on Thursday that QB Baker Mayfield (thumb) won't play this week. Mayfield attempted to get back for Sunday's game against the Steelers.
| Footballguys view: Once again, we'll see QB Jalon Daniels starting in place of Mayfield. Daniels can keep plays alive but is limited as a passer. |

Browns | Dylan Sampson practices for first time since knee injury in opener Thu Oct 15, 01:15 PM
Browns RB Dylan Sampson practiced on Thursday for the first time since injuring his knee in the season opener against the Jaguars and going on injured reserve. Sampson was designated to return from IR on Wednesday, when head coach Todd Monken said there is a 'chance' he plays Sunday against the Ravens.
| Footballguys view: Sampson could have more work to do with Quinshon Judkins banged up. Jaleel McLaughlin is in line to be the lead back for the Browns in Week 6. We've got McLaughlin in the RB4/flex range for Fantasy GMs in PPR formats. |

Eagles | Jalen Hurts out with blood clot, Tanner McKee in line to start 'moving forward' Thu Oct 15, 01:07 PM
Eagles QB Jalen Hurts will miss Sunday's game against the Panthers after a follow-up ultrasound on Wednesday night revealed movement in a small, superficial blood clot, the team announced. The clot was found on an ultrasound in London before the Week 5 game against the Jaguars, after Hurts sought treatment for a calf injury he said came from being cleated in the Rams game. Doctors cleared him to play, and he played without limitation and practiced in full on Wednesday.
| Footballguys view: The Eagles said Hurts is out "as we determine the appropriate course of treatment." Hurts is expected to be out until the medical situation is resolved, with QB Tanner McKee taking over "moving forward." This team could have McKee as their starter for the foreseeable future. |

Commanders | Jacory Croskey-Merritt not seen during open portion of Thursday practice Thu Oct 15, 01:05 PM
Commanders RB Jacory Croskey-Merritt was not seen during the portion of Thursday's practice open to the media. Croskey-Merritt was limited in practice last week with a groin injury. Washington plays at the 49ers on Monday night in Week 6.
| Footballguys view: It's a Monday night game, so that complicates things for Fantasy GMs. He's been dealing with a groin injury, so perhaps that's why he's missing on Thursday. With the extra time, Fantasy GMs have to wait to see Croskey-Merritt's status on Saturday. |

Packers | Skyy Moore misses practice again on Thursday Thu Oct 15, 01:05 PM
Packers WR Skyy Moore (ankle) did not practice on Thursday, his second straight missed session this week. Moore was injured in Sunday's win over the Bears and was in a walking boot afterward, with Bo Melton taking over in the slot.
| Footballguys view: The ankle injury was described Monday as one that could keep him out 'for a little bit' but is not season-ending. Moore was seen wearing a walking boot this week. |

Ravens | Lamar Jackson not present at start of Thursday's practice Thu Oct 15, 01:04 PM
Ravens QB Lamar Jackson was not present at the start of practice on Thursday, ESPN's Jamison Hensley reported.
| Footballguys view: It's looking more and more like Jackson is not going to play against the Browns. Jackson is dealing with a left ankle injury he sustained on October 4. If Jackson can't play Sunday at Cleveland, QB Tyler Huntley would start for a second straight game. |

Browns | Quinshon Judkins still not practicing Thursday Thu Oct 15, 01:04 PM
Browns RB Quinshon Judkins remained out of practice on Thursday. Several other Browns players returned to practice on Thursday, including RB Dylan Sampson, while Judkins was among seven players still not practicing.
| Footballguys view: Jaleel McLaughlin should be the lead back for the Browns with Judkins banged up. Dylan Sampson may be involved as he comes back from his injury, but it would be a lot to ask of him in his return. |
Quinshon Judkins player page
Eagles | Jalen Hurts out Sunday vs. Panthers with 'superficial blood clot' Thu Oct 15, 01:00 PM
Eagles QB Jalen Hurts will miss Sunday's game against the Panthers because of a superficial blood clot, NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reported Thursday. According to a team statement, Hurts said he was cleated in the calf during the Rams game. An ultrasound in London last Saturday found the clot, but doctors concluded he could safely play, and he "played without limitation" Sunday against the Jaguars. A follow-up ultrasound on Wednesday night "revealed movement in the small blood clot," and the team said Hurts will be out "as we determine the appropriate course of treatment."
| Footballguys view: Blood clots are nothing to mess around with. According to reports, the clot moved and that should be setting off alarm bells for team doctors. He will undergo treatment and has to be considered out for an undetermined amount of time. Tanner McKee is the starter while Hurts is recovering. |

Jets | Breece Hall working with trainers on side field Thursday Thu Oct 15, 12:52 PM
Jets RB Breece Hall (quadriceps) was working off to a side field with trainers during Thursday's practice. Head coach Aaron Glenn called Hall 'week to week' on Wednesday, and Hall did not practice that day. He missed the Week 5 win over the Browns with the quad injury.

Commanders | Stefon Diggs won't practice Thursday, Quinn 'hopeful' for return this week Thu Oct 15, 12:40 PM
Commanders WR Stefon Diggs (hamstring) will not practice on Thursday, head coach Dan Quinn said. Quinn said he is hopeful Diggs will return to the practice field by the end of the week.
| Footballguys view: Diggs is on the wrong side of questionable. He's not trending towards playing in Week 6, so that means we'll see more work for guys like Terry McLaurin and Chig Okonkwo. |
Stefon Diggs player page
Texans | Marvin Harrison Jr. to play, be involved vs. Jaguars, but 'not a full workload yet' Thu Oct 15, 12:29 PM
Texans WR Marvin Harrison Jr. took part in his second practice with the team on Thursday following his trade from the Cardinals. The plan for Sunday's game against the Jaguars is for Harrison to play and be involved, but not to carry a full workload yet.
| Footballguys view: Zero surprise here. In fact, it may be 2-3 weeks before Harrison is truly up to speed in his new offense. It helps that he and CJ Stroud were college teammates at Ohio State, so that could speed up the process just a bit. Harrison is playing this week against the Jaguars, and we've got him as a 'what the heck' flex for Fantasy GMs in PPR leagues. |

Jets | Frank Reich on Braelon Allen: Jets have 'the best 1-2 combo in the NFL' Thu Oct 15, 11:59 AM
Frank Reich praised Jets RB Braelon Allen on Thursday. "We think we have the best 1-2 combo in the NFL," Reich said. Allen ran for 116 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's win over the Browns.
| Footballguys view: We love what Allen has done filling in for Breece Hall. Allen is a big back who can be tough to bring down, and he's got more moves than most big guys can bring to the field. Without Hall in Week 6, Allen should produce like an RB2 with upside. |
Braelon Allen player page
Buccaneers | Baker Mayfield not practicing Thursday, Jalon Daniels to start vs. Steelers Thu Oct 15, 11:38 AM
Buccaneers QB Baker Mayfield (thumb) did not practice on Thursday, and rookie QB Jalon Daniels "will start vs the Steelers barring something unforeseen" in Sunday's Week 6 game. Daniels also started in Mayfield's place in Week 5 against the Cowboys. "Another week as the starter for Jalon Daniels," NFL Network's Ian Rapoport posted.
| Footballguys view: Mayfield is down this week, and he may not even return next week. We'll have to see what he can do in practice a week from now. Daniels can move around a bit, but his lacking of production as a passer makes him a streaming option in start-2QB/superflex leagues. |

Steelers | Aaron Rodgers has 'a lot of trust' in WR options amid injuries Thu Oct 15, 08:18 AM
Steelers QB Aaron Rodgers said he has "a lot of trust in our options" at wide receiver as Pittsburgh deals with injuries at the position.
| Footballguys view: The Steelers are heading into Week 6 short on healthy wide receivers. Roman Wilson (finger) is expected to miss a couple of weeks, and Steelers HC Mike McCarthy said Ben Skowronek (leg) has been ruled out for Week 6. Rookie WR Germie Bernard is a player we like as a flex play with upside in Week 6 against the Buccaneers. |
