49ers WR Christian Kirk did not practice on Thursday with a knee injury he apparently suffered in Wednesday's practice. The receivers who "might be" available for Sunday's game against the Raiders are Demarcus Robinson, Jordan Watkins, Brandin Cooks, Jacob Cowing and practice-squad WR KhaDarel Hodge.

Commanders | Treylon Burks misses practice again, beat writer would 'still guess he plays' Thu Nov 5, 06:31 PM
Commanders WR Treylon Burks (foot) did not participate in practice on Thursday, his second straight missed session. The beat writer said he would "still guess he plays Sunday" against the Rams, adding that more will be known on Friday.
| Footballguys view: The foot injury had Burks in and out of practice a week ago. Burks caught 3-of-5 targets for 81 yards in the Commanders' Week 8 win over the Eagles. Expect him to be out there in Week 9 against the Rams. We like Burks in the deep flex range for Fantasy GMs in PPR formats. |

Broncos | Pat Bryant practices in full on Thursday Thu Nov 5, 05:30 PM
Broncos WR Pat Bryant (ankle), who is on injured reserve, practiced in full on Thursday. Bryant returned to practice on Wednesday, opening his 21-day activation window.
| Footballguys view: There is some optimism Bryant can play against the Panthers in Week 9 (two full practices provide that optimism). Upon his return from this ankle injury, the Broncos may ease him back into action. Bryant is competing for the no.3 spot on the depth chart behind Jaylen Waddle and Courtland Sutton. |

Cowboys | George Pickens limited again on Thursday Thu Nov 5, 04:48 PM
Cowboys WR George Pickens (hamstring) was limited at practice again on Thursday. He was also limited on Wednesday. Dallas visits the Colts on Sunday.
| Footballguys view: That's back-to-back limited sessions for Pickens. We'll see if he can get a full session in on Friday. Then, we'll see if the Cowboys make good on what Jerry Jones said in terms of getting Pickens the ball more. |

Patriots | A.J. Brown misses practice again Thursday Thu Nov 5, 04:35 PM
Patriots WR A.J. Brown (knee) did not practice again on Thursday ahead of the Week 9 game against the Packers. Brown also did not practice on Wednesday, and he was downgraded to out for last Sunday's game at the Dolphins.
| Footballguys view: We may not see Brown again this week. The team is managing his knee injury, and they want him available for what they hope is a deep postseason run. Fantasy GMs are making other plans. |

Packers | Christian Watson limited again Thursday Thu Nov 5, 04:32 PM
Packers WR Christian Watson was a limited participant in practice again on Thursday, after also being limited on Wednesday. Watson has been playing through a broken rib. Green Bay visits the Patriots on Sunday.
| Footballguys view: Against the Patriots in Week 9, we like Watson as a low-end WR1 if he plays. A rib injury comes down to pain tolerance, and we've already seen how tough Watson is. We're expecting him to suit up despite the limited sessions to start the week. |
Christian Watson player page
Colts | Keenan Allen practices in full Thursday after Wednesday rest day Thu Nov 5, 04:27 PM
Colts WR Keenan Allen was a full participant in practice on Thursday after being rested on Wednesday. Allen's absence from Wednesday's session was a rest day, not injury related. The Colts host the Cowboys on Sunday in Week 9.
| Footballguys view: Allen is good to go for Sunday's game against the Cowboys, and he should be in line to lead the team in receiving again. Allen caught 7-of-7 targets for 67 yards in the Colts' Week 8 loss to the Jaguars. As the team continues to trade away assets before next Tuesday's trade deadline, Allen provides their offense with a steady presence. He's a WR3/flex option for Fantasy GMs. |

Saints | Jordyn Tyson limited again on Thursday Thu Nov 5, 04:19 PM
Saints rookie WR Jordyn Tyson (hamstring) was limited at practice again on Thursday. The first-round pick was designated to return from injured reserve on Wednesday and returned to practice that day.
| Footballguys view: Tyson is a player we're excited to see out there for the Saints. Although we're excited about his pro debut, Tyson is no lock to play in Week 9 with his 21-day practice window just opened earlier this week. |

Lions | Amon-Ra St. Brown limited Thursday, 'on track' to play vs. Dolphins Thu Nov 5, 04:06 PM
Lions WR Amon-Ra St. Brown was limited at practice on Thursday after the team held a walkthrough on Wednesday.
| Footballguys view: St. Brown got a little banged up recently, but expectations are that he is on track to play against the Dolphins on Sunday. A full participation on Friday would help us feel better about his status, but if he's on track to play we'll squelch any concern. |

49ers | Deebo Samuel 'unlikely to play' Sunday vs. Raiders Thu Nov 5, 02:46 PM
49ers WR Deebo Samuel Sr. (hamstring) is unlikely to play Sunday against the Raiders, Lynch said. Samuel was not expected to practice on Wednesday.
| Footballguys view: No surprise here. The 49ers are likely to be without Deebo Samuel and Mike Evans in Week 9. That means Brandin Cooks, Demarcus Robinson, and Christian Kirk (although he's been limited by a knee injury) could be tasked with more against the Raiders on Sunday. |

Bills | DJ Moore will practice 'in some capacity' Thursday Thu Nov 5, 01:35 PM
Bills WR DJ Moore will practice "in some capacity" on Thursday, head coach Joe Brady said. Moore had a knee scare late in Sunday's game against the Ravens but said afterward that he was OK.
| Footballguys view: Moore caught 4-of-7 targets for 82 yards and a touchdown in the Bills' Week 8 win over the Ravens. He's missed time this year for a shoulder issue, and this knee scare from Sunday is a bit of a concern. If healthy and out there on Monday against the Vikings, we see Moore as a WR2/flex option for Fantasy GMs. |

Giants | Malik Nabers works on the side with a trainer Thursday Thu Nov 5, 01:34 PM
Giants WR Malik Nabers was working on the side with a trainer at practice on Thursday. The Giants play at the Eagles on Sunday.
| Footballguys view: Nabers caught 7-of-11 targets for 111 yards in New York's Week 7 win over the Texans. The Giants had a bye in Week 8, and Nabers must've needed an extra day of rest. Given his workload and importance to this offense, it's wise for the Giants to have Nabers limit his practice reps. We like Nabers as a WR1 against the Eagles on Sunday. |

Jets | Garrett Wilson not spotted at start of Thursday practice Thu Nov 5, 12:56 PM
Jets WR Garrett Wilson (concussion) was not seen during the stretching portion of Thursday's practice.
| Footballguys view: Wilson is in the concussion protocol and missed Wednesday's practice, with the team calling him 'day-to-day.' Two missed practices to open up the week is not a good sign for Wilson's availability. The Jets could be leaning on Omar Cooper and Adonia Mitchell more in Week 9. We doubt Wilson gets through the protocol on Friday, but circle back just in case. |

Commanders | Treylon Burks not seen at start of Thursday practice Thu Nov 5, 12:23 PM

49ers | Lynch says Mike Evans unlikely for Week 9, Robinson and Hodge could be available Thu Nov 5, 12:15 PM
49ers WR Mike Evans (Achilles) is unlikely to play Sunday against the Raiders, GM John Lynch said Thursday on KNBR. The team wants to be cautious with Evans' Achilles tendinitis after the Christian McCaffrey situation in 2024. Lynch indicated WRs Demarcus Robinson and KhaDarel Hodge will be available if they get through the week OK.
| Footballguys view: Getting Robinson back would be a boost for the 49ers, especially without Evans. Christian Kirk, Brandin Cooks, and Jordan Watkins are in line to get more looks as well. Let's circle back Friday just to be sure Robinson will return in Week 9. |

Buccaneers | Emeka Egbuka returns to practice Thursday during open portion Thu Nov 5, 11:54 AM
Buccaneers WR Emeka Egbuka (foot) returned to the portion of practice open to the media on Thursday. Egbuka was not seen practicing during Wednesday's open portion and missed last Sunday's game against the Falcons with the foot injury. An update is expected following Thursday's practice.
| Footballguys view: We imagine Egbuka will be limited when the official practice report comes out. He's trending in the right direction, and the team has to see if there are any setbacks. Friday will be the day that most likely determines Egbuka's status. |

49ers | Lynch says Mike Evans 'probably unlikely' to play Week 9 vs. Raiders Thu Nov 5, 11:30 AM
49ers WR Mike Evans is "probably unlikely" to play in Sunday's Week 9 game against the Raiders, General Manager John Lynch said Thursday on KNBR, though he stopped short of ruling Evans out. Evans missed Week 7 with Achilles tendinitis and did not practice in the team's first post-bye session on Wednesday. Lynch referenced Christian McCaffrey's past issues with a similar injury and said the 49ers "don't want it to become something that really lingers" for Evans, because the goal is for him to be as impactful as he was early in the season.
| Footballguys view: A bye in Week 8 was not enough to get Evans healthy, and he needs more time to recover. With Demarcus Robinson set to return from IR this week, the 49ers could turn to him, Christian Kirk, Brandin Cooks, and Jordan Watkins at the wide receiver position. |

Commanders | Treylon Burks does not practice Wednesday Wed Nov 4, 07:32 PM
Commanders WR Treylon Burks (foot) did not practice on Wednesday as Washington began preparations for its Week 9 game against the Rams. Burks was questionable for last Sunday night's game against the Eagles with the foot injury but was active.

Browns | Denzel Boston came up limping, added to injury report with calf injury Wed Nov 4, 07:22 PM
Browns rookie WR Denzel Boston came up limping during Wednesday's practice and was added to the injury report with a calf injury, though he returned to practice. Boston already had a sleeve on his right calf when he was first seen limping. He was listed as a limited participant on Wednesday ahead of Sunday's Week 9 game at the Saints.

Vikings | Shanahan confirms 49ers tried to trade for Jauan Jennings, WR said 'I'm pretty happy' Wed Nov 4, 06:43 PM
49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan confirmed on Wednesday that San Francisco tried to trade for Vikings WR Jauan Jennings and that Minnesota was amenable, but Jennings preferred to stay. "It wasn't, like, a definite no at first," Shanahan said. "But he was like, 'Man, Kyle, I'm pretty happy. I'm liking stuff.'" Shanahan disputed Fox's Jay Glazer's Sunday report that Jennings turned down a FaceTime with team brass, saying "He FaceTimed me... It was a good talk," and added there was no "bad blood." Jennings has six catches on 10 targets in six games with Minnesota.

Eagles | Dontayvion Wicks 'remains sidelined' Wednesday Wed Nov 4, 06:20 PM

Eagles | DeVonta Smith 'remains sidelined' Wednesday Wed Nov 4, 06:20 PM
Eagles WR DeVonta Smith (hamstring) remained sidelined at practice on Wednesday. Smith was ruled out of last Sunday's game and is not practicing to open the week ahead of Sunday's Week 9 game against the Giants.
| Footballguys view: Smith has missed game action since Week 6, so it's no surprise he remains sidelined. Makai Lemon will be the Eagles' No. 1 receiver with Joe Milton III now under center at quarterback. |

Broncos | Pat Bryant returns to practice, 21-day activation window opened Wed Nov 4, 04:44 PM
Broncos WR Pat Bryant returned to practice on Wednesday, opening his 21-day window to be activated from injured reserve. His return was expected. Bryant was placed on injured reserve on Oct. 9 with an ankle injury.
| Footballguys view: Bryant could be back this week for the game against the Panthers. However, the Broncos have a bye in Week 10, so Bryant could get an extra week of rest if the team doesn't think he's quite ready to get back on the field. |

49ers | Deebo Samuel not expected to practice Wednesday Wed Nov 4, 04:21 PM

Cowboys | George Pickens likely staying in Dallas, 'content' and doesn't want to be moved Wed Nov 4, 03:15 PM
Cowboys WR George Pickens is expected to remain in Dallas through the trade deadline, as he "remains content in Dallas and doesn't want to be moved, nor does Dallas plan to trade him," ESPN's Jeremy Fowler reported. ESPN's Dan Graziano added that teams have wondered whether the 3-5 Cowboys would consider dealing Pickens, who is headed for 2027 free agency, but "I do not get the sense that Dallas would consider such a move." Pickens had four targets in Sunday's loss to the Cardinals, fewer than TE Brevyn Spann-Ford, and has 39 catches for 533 yards and two touchdowns through eight games.
| Footballguys view: As Pickens walked off the field at the end of the loss to the Cardinals, fans began to speculate about his status with the team. It all seems to be fine, and Jerry Jones said in a Tuesday radio interview on 105.3 The Fan that he is not looking to be a seller at the deadline. |

Cowboys | George Pickens' snaps dipped while 'banged up', moving well at Wednesday practice Wed Nov 4, 02:21 PM
Cowboys WR George Pickens went from playing 55-60 offensive snaps per game over the first six weeks to 41 and 42 the last two weeks because he's been banged up. Pickens was limited in practice all last week with shoulder and hamstring injuries. He was at practice on Wednesday and was moving well in the portion open to reporters.
| Footballguys view: On Tuesday, Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said Pickens "needs the ball coming in his direction more." He's not getting traded, per ESPN's Jeremy Fowler, despite fan speculation, and if Pickens is healthy he should get more work. Against the Colts, Pickens is a WR2 with WR1 upside in what could be a bounce-back game for the Cowboys after losing to the Cardinals in Week 8. |

Packers | Christian Watson practicing Wednesday despite broken rib Wed Nov 4, 01:33 PM
Packers WR Christian Watson was practicing on Wednesday. Watson said he broke a rib in last Thursday's win over the Panthers, a game in which he caught eight passes for 113 yards. LB Zaire Franklin, OL Sean Rhyan, OL Travis Glover, and TE Josh Whyle were the players on the 53-man roster not practicing.
| Footballguys view: We'll likely see Watson use extra protection like a flak jacket while he deals with this rib injury. It's a pain-tolerance issue, and if he's practicing on Wednesday, Watson should be able to play in Week 9. We've got him as a WR1 against the Patriots in Week 9. |

Commanders | Stefon Diggs not at practice Wednesday for a rest day Wed Nov 4, 01:10 PM
Commanders WR Stefon Diggs was not at practice on Wednesday, a rest day. Diggs was also held out of last Wednesday's practice for rest, with a weekly rest day described as "likely" going forward, and he was "good to go" for Sunday's game against the Eagles.
| Footballguys view: Diggs caught 3 of 6 targets for 38 yards and a touchdown in the Commanders' Week 8 win over the Eagles. He's getting limited work in during the week, and Diggs has a lower snap count as the team uses him as a situational slot weapon. This week against the Rams, we view Diggs as a WR3/flex play in PPR formats. |

Commanders | Rookie Antonio Williams led WRs in snaps with McLaurin on IR, Quinn praises Wed Nov 4, 01:09 PM
Commanders WR Antonio Williams, a third-round rookie, led the team in snaps in Sunday's win over the Eagles with WR Terry McLaurin on injured reserve. Head coach Dan Quinn said on Wednesday that the moments were never too big for Williams or first-round rookie LB Sonny Styles. Washington hosts the Rams on Sunday.
| Footballguys view: Williams caught 5 of 7 targets for 54 yards in the Commanders' Week 8 win over the Eagles. Against the Rams in Week 9, we like Williams as a flex option for Fantasy GMs out there. |

Patriots | Vrabel says A.J. Brown won't practice Wednesday Wed Nov 4, 01:04 PM
Patriots WR A.J. Brown will not practice on Wednesday, head coach Mike Vrabel said. Brown was downgraded to out for last Sunday's game at the Dolphins.
| Footballguys view: Brown may have to miss another contest as he deals with a knee injury that flared up on him last week in practice. Mack Hollins may be back for the Patriots this week, as his 21-day IR window was opened. We'll know more about Brown's status on Friday at the latest. |

Jets WR Garrett Wilson is in the concussion protocol, head coach Aaron Glenn said on Wednesday, Rich Cimini reported.

Buccaneers | Emeka Egbuka not practicing Wednesday during open portion Wed Nov 4, 12:05 PM
Buccaneers WR Emeka Egbuka was not practicing on Wednesday during the portion of practice open to the media. Egbuka missed last Sunday's game against the Falcons because of a foot problem, despite having cleared the concussion protocol.
| Footballguys view: After missing a game, it's not a great sign that Egbuka has to miss the opening day of practice the following week. This foot injury may cause him to miss another week of action. Fantasy GMs need to have other options at the ready. |

KC Concepcion Jr. has 'a bit of rapport' with Shedeur Sanders from camp Wed Nov 4, 11:42 AM
Browns rookie WR KC Concepcion Jr. caught a lot of passes from QB Shedeur Sanders during Cleveland's quarterback competition in training camp, giving the pair "a bit of rapport." "All we have to do is get that bond back started," Concepcion said. QB Deshaun Watson is in the concussion protocol, and Sanders is in line to start if he can't clear.
| Footballguys view: Sanders can work underneath routes, so we expect plenty of targets for TE Harold Fannin Jr. However, the connection and chemistry with Concepcion cannot be denied. With Sanders out there, we view Concepcion as a WR3/flex option for Fantasy GMs in Week 9. |

Saints | Jordyn Tyson designated to return from IR Wed Nov 4, 11:14 AM
The Saints have designated rookie WR Jordyn Tyson to return from injured reserve, Nick Underhill reported on Wednesday. Tyson, the No. 8 overall pick, has been on IR with a hamstring strain. The move opens his practice window ahead of Sunday's Week 9 game against the Browns.
| Footballguys view: Tyson could play in Week 9, but he'd likely be on a snap count. We're eager to see the rookie out there for the first time in a regular-season game. Tyson battled hamstring injuries during his college career, so the Saints had to be extra cautious here. The top-10 pick can be a downfield threat or work effectively from the slot. We'll have to see what he does in practice before feeling good about his status. |

Patriots | Mack Hollins to return to practice, 21-day IR window opening Wed Nov 4, 08:28 AM
Patriots WR Mack Hollins (calf) will return to practice on Wednesday, with the team opening his 21-day window to return from injured reserve, NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reported. Hollins was placed on injured reserve after the Week 4 win over the Bills and has missed the last four weeks. Before the injury, he had played 63% of the team's offensive snaps and caught 15 passes for 209 yards.
| Footballguys view: Hollins seems to be trending toward playing in Week 9 against the Packers. His return is a boost for QB Drake Maye, but it could take some of the targets away from a guy like DeMario Douglas. We view Hollins as a "what the heck" flex if he does play in Week 9. |

Bills | Bills release C.J. Gardner-Johnson, Damar Hamlin 'likely' to keep starting job Wed Nov 4, 02:17 AM
The Bills have released S C.J. Gardner-Johnson after he served a one-game suspension for spitting in the direction of Raiders TE Brock Bowers. NFL Network reported on Tuesday that the decision was driven more by inconsistency in Gardner-Johnson's performances than by the spitting incident. Gardner-Johnson started Buffalo's first six games after joining the team in the offseason, recording 26 tackles, two passes defended and one interception. Bills S Damar Hamlin replaced him in the starting lineup for Sunday's 36-10 win over the Ravens and is likely to retain his place.

49ers WR Deebo Samuel (hamstring) posted a video of himself working out at the team's practice facility during Tuesday's day off, suggesting there's a chance he could return for Sunday's Week 9 game against the Raiders. Samuel has been sidelined since injuring his hamstring in the Week 5 game against the Seahawks, and a decision on his status will likely be made later this week. Samuel had 16 receptions for 206 yards and three touchdowns, plus nine carries for 78 yards, before the injury. San Francisco could also be without WR Mike Evans (Achilles) again this week.

Luther Burden III plays 3 of 21 heavy-personnel snaps as Bears drop 3-WR sets with lead Tue Nov 3, 03:57 PM
Bears WR Luther Burden III played 3 of 21 snaps in heavy personnel in Monday's win over the Seahawks.
| Footballguys view: When the Bears established a lead, they went away from 3-WR sets, which partially explains Burden's splits between halves this season. He ranks WR3 in yards per route run in first halves and WR61 in second halves. Burden is the WR24 on WR7 usage in games with Caleb Williams this year, so Yahoo's Hayden Winks suggests it's no reason to panic. Burden is an upside WR2/3 despite the obvious inconsistency. |

Ravens | Ja'Kobi Lane has 'clearly assumed the No. 3 wide receiver role' Tue Nov 3, 09:45 AM
Ravens rookie WR Ja'Kobi Lane played 33 snaps and caught one pass in Sunday's Week 8 loss to the Bills. Since returning from injury, Lane "has clearly assumed the No. 3 wide receiver role," relegating WR Devontez Walker to eight snaps.
| Footballguys view: As CBSSports.com notes, Lane ran 21 routes on 30 dropbacks by Baltimore's three quarterbacks, but his one target represented just a 3.8% share. With Lamar Jackson (thumb) and Tyler Huntley (toe) injured, Joe Fagnano (ankle) could be in line to start Thursday night against the Jaguars. It would be a downgrade for all Ravens skill players. |
