Ravens | Zay Flowers off injury report for first time this season Wed Oct 14, 04:58 PM
Ravens WR Zay Flowers was not listed on Baltimore's injury report on Wednesday, the first time all season he has not appeared on it.
| Footballguys view: Flowers is fantastic when healthy, and he's back at full strength (or as close as you can get in the regular season). He had been dealing with a foot injury and was active for Sunday night's game at Atlanta. This week against the Browns, Flowers is a WR1 as per usual. |

Cardinals RB Jeremiyah Love sat out practice on Wednesday with an ankle issue. The team will see how the week goes in terms of his availability for Sunday's game against the Rams.
| Footballguys view: Fantasy GMs need to keep their head on a swivel here. Love's ankle was being managed last week before he was cleared to play against the Lions, and he was held to 22 yards on 12 carries in that loss. We'll see if he can do more as the week of practice rolls on. Reports indicate Love is managing the high-ankle sprain from the preseason and he may have picked up an injury to his other ankle too. |

Patriots QB Drake Maye (right shoulder) was a full participant in practice on Wednesday. Maye was also a full participant in practice last Wednesday and Thursday before throwing for 374 yards and four touchdowns in Sunday's win over the Raiders.

Steelers CB Jalen Ramsey did not practice on Wednesday because of a wrist injury. Ramsey also missed the opening practice of Week 5 but returned for limited sessions the rest of that week and had nine tackles in Sunday's win over the Colts. The Steelers visit the Buccaneers this week.

Giants DE Abdul Carter did not practice on Wednesday due to a calf injury, putting his status for Sunday's game against the Saints in question. Head coach John Harbaugh would only say that Carter is "doing very well." The Giants are already without DE Brian Burns, who is out for the season with a torn ACL.

Giants WR Darnell Mooney (neck) was a limited participant in practice on Wednesday.

Saints WR Chris Olave was sick on Wednesday. DTs Nathan Shepherd and Vernon Broughton were also sick. Olave was limited in practice last Thursday with a foot injury and was seen in a walking boot, but head coach Kellen Moore said last Friday that he was "fine."
| Footballguys view: The bad news is a trio of players is sick. The good news is it's just Wednesday, so there's plenty of time to get to feeling better. Olave caught 4-of-6 targets for 46 yards in the Saints' Week 5 loss to the Vikings. If out there against the Giants, Olave is a top-tier WR1 for Fantasy GMs in Week 6. |
Chris Olave player page
Colts WR Josh Downs was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice due to rest as well as a hamstring injury. Indianapolis hosts the Titans on Sunday.
| Footballguys view: Rest and a hamstring.... maybe his hamstring just needed some rest. Whatever the main reason for his limitation, Downs needs to practice in full on Thursday or Friday for us to feel good recommending him as a WR3/flex option for Fantasy GMs in Week 6. Stay tuned. |

Panthers TE Tommy Tremble (ribs) was listed as limited on Wednesday's injury report. The report was an estimate because Carolina did not actually practice on Wednesday.

Steelers RB Rico Dowdle (toe) was a limited participant in practice on Wednesday. Dowdle was inactive for Sunday's win over the Colts after being listed as questionable. The Steelers visit the Buccaneers on Sunday.

Steelers WR Roman Wilson (finger) and WR Ben Skowronek (calf) have both been ruled out for Sunday's game at the Buccaneers after suffering injuries in last week's win over the Colts. "Both receivers will not be available this week," head coach Mike McCarthy said, adding that as of now he expects it to be just one week: "That's what we have so far, yes." Both receivers did not practice on Wednesday, and the Steelers are also without WR Michael Pittman Jr., who is on injured reserve with a foot injury.

Panthers QB Bryce Young (knee) was listed as a full participant on Wednesday's injury report. The Panthers did not practice Wednesday, so the report was an estimate, and Young was on the practice field Tuesday.

Panthers WR Jalen Coker (quadriceps) was listed as a full participant on Wednesday's injury report. The Panthers did not practice Wednesday, so the report was an estimate that also reflected Tuesday's session, and Coker was on the practice field Tuesday. The team returns to practice on Thursday ahead of Sunday's game at the Eagles.

Texans head coach DeMeco Ryans said on Wednesday that RB David Montgomery (groin) is out and RB Woody Marks will be the RB1 this week for Sunday's game at Jacksonville. Ryans also discussed the chance of RB Jawhar Jordan being elevated: "Jawhar able to create some explosive plays. Jawhar very fast player, been working with us for a while good job with his role. If his role increases, maximizes. He'll be just fine."
| Footballguys view: The Texans travel to London to take on the Jaguars in Week 6. The Texans aren't running the ball effectively, but Marks is going to get a shot as the primary back. That makes Marks an RB3/flex play for Fantasy GMs working through four teams on bye. |

Ravens DE Trey Hendrickson returned to practice on Wednesday after missing the last two games following finger surgery. Head coach Jesse Minter said he doesn't feel Hendrickson will be limited by the wrap on his right hand.

Texans WR Marvin Harrison Jr. will play in Sunday's Week 6 game against the Jaguars in London, head coach DeMeco Ryans said on Wednesday. Harrison took part in his first practice with the Texans on Wednesday after passing his physical on Monday.
| Footballguys view: Fantasy GMs are excited about the fresh start Harrison gets with the Texans, but it could be a while before he hits his stride with his new team. General manager Nick Caserio said earlier Wednesday that a clear picture of Harrison's role may be "3-4 weeks" away. We like Harrison as a "what-the-heck" flex play in Week 6. |

Ravens QB Lamar Jackson (ankle) did not practice on Wednesday. Coach Jesse Minter said after practice that Jackson is considered day-to-day.
| Footballguys view: Jackson missed Baltimore's Week 5 game at Atlanta with the ankle injury, and he may be in line to miss the game against the Browns on Sunday. Tyler Huntley would get another start if Jackson has to miss more time. |
Lamar Jackson player page
Eagles WR DeVonta Smith (hamstring) was working off to the side at the start of Wednesday's practice, ESPN's Tim McManus reported. Smith missed the Eagles' Week 5 game against the Jaguars with the injury.
| Footballguys view: It's a move in the right direction for Smith. He hasn't played since Week 3 as he recovers from this hamstring injury. Circle back on Friday to see if he can at least be limited as the team prepares for a game against the Panthers. |
DeVonta Smith player page
Eagles RB Saquon Barkley was not seen at practice on Wednesday as he deals with a hamstring injury. Barkley missed Sunday's game against the Jaguars in London and was considered "week-to-week" afterward.
| Footballguys view: On Monday he was described as having "a shot to return" for Sunday's Week 6 game against the Panthers. In fact, Eagles HC Nick Sirianni said he's "hopeful" he will receive offensive reinforcements this week (he was asked about Barkley's availability). It's Wednesday, so Fantasy GMs have to wait until Friday to see if Barkley can at least get in a limited practice. |

The Cardinals are not expected to switch to rookie QB Carson Beck until late November, when their schedule eases, ESPN's Dan Graziano reported. "I absolutely expect the Cardinals to take a look at Beck at some point this season, though I've been told it might not happen until late November," Graziano said, pointing to a stretch of at Rams, vs. Broncos, at Cowboys, at Seahawks, vs. Rams and at Chiefs as "a bit of a gauntlet for a rookie QB." Graziano added that Beck could play sooner "especially if Brissett gets traded at the deadline," but "I don't get the sense the Cardinals are planning to rush this." Weinfuss echoed the report, saying he had said the same thing.
| Footballguys view: A third-round pick out of Miami, Beck could be a player you'd want to build around. They're good with Brissett as their starter for now, but it only makes sense to take a look at a young quarterback when the team is going nowhere in 2026. When Beck takes over, it would likely ding the fantasy value of Cardinals skill-position players. |
Carson Beck player page
Colts WR Keenan Allen was not practicing on Wednesday. The official injury report listed it as a rest day. Allen was listed as questionable with a groin injury for last Sunday's game against the Steelers after a full practice on Friday.
| Footballguys view: Allen is a seasoned veteran, so this could be a rest day. He did not play his normal amount of snaps last week in his first week back from a groin injury. However, Allen caught 5-of-9 targets for 45 yards in the Week 5 loss to the Steelers. We like Allen as a WR3/flex play in Week 6. |
Keenan Allen player page
Texans RB David Montgomery (groin) did not practice on Wednesday ahead of Sunday's game at Jacksonville.
| Footballguys view: Montgomery was ruled out of Sunday's win over the Titans with the groin injury and was termed "week-to-week" on Monday. It's unlikely we see Montgomery in Week 6 against the Jaguars. Woody Marks should be the featured back for the Texans as they travel to London to play their division rival. |
David Montgomery player page
Raiders head coach Klint Kubiak said on Wednesday that RB Ashton Jeanty is starting to "feel a lot better" physically.
| Footballguys view: When asked if the team considered sitting Jeanty to get him healthy, Kubiak said, "He's playing." Jeanty played through ankle and foot injuries against the Patriots on Sunday. Fantasy GMs sitting on Mike Washington Jr. hoping for a larger role will have to wait. |
Ashton Jeanty player page
Raiders WR Jalen Nailor (concussion) will practice on Thursday, head coach Klint Kubiak said on Wednesday. Nailor did not practice last week and was ruled out for the Week 5 game at New England.

Jaguars RB Bhayshul Tuten's touch count has risen in three straight weeks, and his two highest route shares have come in the last two games. RB Chris Rodriguez Jr. had just three touches in Sunday's win over the Eagles and is averaging six touches per game. Tuten has two touchdowns this season, and penalties wiped out two others in Week 4.
| Footballguys view: Tuten is a dynamic player, and the Jaguars offense is looking to get more big plays. If this role continues at the current pace, Tuten is an RB2/flex option for Fantasy GMs in PPR formats. |
Bhayshul Tuten player page
Texans WR Marvin Harrison Jr. took part in his first practice with Houston on Wednesday. The session reunites Harrison with QB C.J. Stroud, his former teammate at Ohio State.
| Footballguys view: Harrison is a "what-the-heck" flex play in Week 6. It's going to take some time with his new team, but that chemistry he had with Stroud in college should be able to come back quickly. He's given Fantasy GMs little to root for, but when he's up to speed with his new team Harrison could be a weekly flex play. |
Marvin Harrison Jr. player page
Ravens QB Lamar Jackson was not present at the start of the media viewing portion of practice on Wednesday.
| Footballguys view: Jackson missed Sunday night's game against the Falcons with a sprained left ankle. He may have to miss another game, and that makes Tyler Huntley the team's starter once again. |
Lamar Jackson player page
Ravens rookie WR Ja'Kobi Lane returned to the practice field on Wednesday, which starts his window to be activated off injured reserve. Lane injured his wrist in the season opener on Sept. 13.
| Footballguys view: Fantasy GMs who are stashing Lane could see the talented rookie receiver back in action against the Browns. He'll be more productive when Lamar Jackson is at quarterback, but Lane is a boom/bust flex play if he does suit up for Week 6. It's not a "for sure" thing he's playing in Week 6, but all reports (including a full practice on Wednesday) have us leaning in that direction. |
Ja'Kobi Lane player page
Patriots CB Christian Gonzalez will "try to do some stuff today. We'll see how that goes," head coach Mike Vrabel said on Wednesday. Gonzalez was not spotted at practice last Wednesday and was ruled out against the Bills earlier this month. New England hosts the Jets on Sunday.

Patriots WR A.J. Brown will return to practice on Wednesday, opening his 21-day window to be activated off injured reserve. Brown has been on IR with an ankle sprain. The Patriots host the Jets on Sunday.
| Footballguys view: Brown's window to return is open, and the Patriots could activate him for the game against the Jets. If he does play in Week 6, Brown is likely to be limited as the team works him back into the game plan. That makes Brown a WR3/flex candidate for Fantasy GMs excited to get him back. With more time (and when he gets back into football shape), Brown will get back to his normal weekly WR1 status. |
A.J. Brown player page
Chiefs WR Rashee Rice (hamstring) will not practice on Wednesday, head coach Andy Reid said. Rice injured his hamstring in the first quarter against the Raiders on Oct. 4 and left that game.
| Footballguys view: Hamstring injuries on fast players are tricky to deal with. Rice could suit up in Week 6, but coming off a bye and missing practice on Wednesday is not a great sign. We'll see if he can at least be limited by Friday at the latest. |
Rashee Rice player page
Jets TE Kenyon Sadiq remains in the concussion protocol as of Wednesday. Sadiq was ruled out with a concussion during Sunday's win over the Browns. The Jets visit the Patriots in Week 6.
| Footballguys view: Sadiq was concussed in Week 5, and now he must get through the protocol to play in Week 6. If the rookie can't clear protocol in time, Mason Taylor would be a flex-worthy tight end against the Patriots on Sunday. |
Kenyon Sadiq player page
The Raiders have internally discussed giving RB Ashton Jeanty a week off to heal at some point, ESPN's Dan Graziano reported on Wednesday. "He does not want to take a week off and has pushed to play through the injuries," Graziano reported. Jeanty played through ankle and foot injuries in Sunday's loss to the Patriots after being a game-time decision.
| Footballguys view: On Wednesday, Raiders HC Klint Kubiak shot down the idea of Jeanty getting a week of rest. In fact, Kubiak said Jeanty is starting to "feel a lot better." We've got Jeanty in the low-end RB1 range against the Bills in Week 6. |
Ashton Jeanty player page
Texans GM Nick Caserio said on 95.7 The Fan that the team likely won't have a clear picture of WR Marvin Harrison Jr.'s role for another three to four weeks, potentially after the bye. Caserio also emphasized that acquiring a young receiver under contract for at least two more seasons was part of the reasoning behind the trade. Players need time to get acclimated to a new offense, which is why head coach DeMeco Ryans usually pursues in-season additions who were with the team in camp or have played in similar systems.
| Footballguys view: Texans HC DeMeco Ryans said Harrison will play in Week 6 against the Jaguars. What should Fantasy GMs expect? Well, early on the team is likely to ease him into action as he learns the playbook. We're excited about the fresh start for Harrison, but this week against the Jaguars (in London) we only see him as a "what-the-heck" flex. With more time on his new team, Harrison could easily have weekly flex appeal. |

Buccaneers S Antoine Winfield Jr. continues to recover from a rib fracture, the update from Wednesday's practice noted. Winfield was expected to miss two to four weeks when the injury was announced earlier this month.

Broncos S Talanoa Hufanga is expected to miss multiple weeks with an ankle injury. One source estimated he will be out about two to three weeks, depending on how he recovers. Hufanga was questionable to return after suffering the injury on Sunday against the Chargers.
Link to storyTalanoa Hufanga player page
Titans RB Tony Pollard was not at practice on Wednesday. The official injury report listed it as a rest day. Pollard and RB Tyjae Spears split the running back snaps nearly evenly in Sunday's loss to the Texans.
| Footballguys view: Pollard has been missing practices during the week, only to show up on gameday and produce for the Titans. Pollard rushed 14 times for 52 yards in Tennessee's Week 5 loss to the Texans. In Week 6 against the Colts, we've got Pollard in the RB2/flex range. We'll see if he's moved before the trade deadline, as there are plenty of teams who could use a back like Pollard. |
Tony Pollard player page
Jets WR Adonai Mitchell did have a surgical procedure to repair his injured finger, head coach Aaron Glenn acknowledged on Wednesday. Mitchell is week-to-week.
| Footballguys view: If Mitchell doesn't play in Week 6, that will make four straight missed games. With Omar Cooper Jr. returning to practice, the Jets will be establishing a pecking order for receivers not named Garrett Wilson. |
Adonai Mitchell player page
Jets rookie WR Omar Cooper Jr. will practice on Wednesday, head coach Aaron Glenn said. Cooper has been on injured reserve since September.

Jets RB Breece Hall (quad) is week-to-week, head coach Aaron Glenn said on Wednesday. Hall was ruled out for the Week 5 win over the Browns and has now been given no clear timeline for a return.
| Footballguys view: The Jets can easily continue with Braelon Allen as their lead back. We've got Allen as an RB2 with upside in Week 6 against the Patriots. |
Breece Hall player page
Browns RB Dylan Sampson has been designated for return from injured reserve and is eligible to return to practice. Head coach Todd Monken said Wednesday there is a "chance" Sampson could play Sunday against the Ravens. Sampson was placed on injured reserve in September with a knee injury.
| Footballguys view: Jaleel McLaughlin could be the lead back for the Browns against the Ravens in Week 6. If Sampson does play, it's likely they ease him back into action after a four-week stint on IR. |
Dylan Sampson player page
Bears QB Caleb Williams (hamstring) will be listed as a full participant on Wednesday's estimated practice report, head coach Ben Johnson said.
| Footballguys view: Williams missed Sunday's loss to the Packers with the hamstring injury after being listed as questionable following a limited practice on Friday. He's getting closer to a return, and we should see the Bears' franchise quarterback in action on Sunday. If he plays against the Falcons, Williams should be considered a QB1 for Fantasy GMs out there. |
Caleb Williams player page
Falcons QB Michael Penix Jr. is set to practice on Wednesday despite a rib injury. Rapoport called it "a good sign for his availability this weekend" for Sunday's game against the Bears.
| Footballguys view: Potentially good news for the Falcons here. Well, anything to keep Tua Tagovailoa off the field. Penix's rib injury was described as "not considered serious" on Monday after he left Sunday's loss to the Ravens. Penix is feeling better and will likely start Sunday against the Bears, assuming no setbacks, Falcons HC Kevin Stefanski told reporters on Wednesday. |
Michael Penix Jr. player page
Browns RB Quinshon Judkins (ankle) was walking around the locker room without a boot ahead of practice on Wednesday. Judkins left the stadium in a right walking boot after Sunday's loss to the Jets, and head coach Todd Monken called him "day-to-day" on Monday.
| Footballguys view: A day-to-day designation means Judkins could be closer to playing than some think. However, he might have to miss Week 6 against the Ravens. If that's the case, Jaleel McLaughlin would be in line to be the top back for the Browns. Let's see what Judkins can do on Friday. We see McLaughlin as an RB5/deep flex play if Judkins can't play in Week 6. |
Quinshon Judkins player page
Browns rookie WR KC Concepcion Jr. (concussion) is "progressing very well" and is set to practice on Wednesday. Concepcion was knocked out cold by a helmet-to-helmet hit from Jets S Minkah Fitzpatrick in Sunday's loss and was placed in the concussion protocol.
| Footballguys view: Concepcion has to work his way through the league's concussion protocol. If he plays against the Ravens, we like the rookie as a deep flex play in Week 6. |
KC Concepcion Jr. player page
Browns QB Shedeur Sanders has hired an agent, ESPN's Adam Schefter reported. Sanders is the backup behind starting QB Deshaun Watson. WR Marvin Harrison Jr. hired a pair of agents last month to seek and facilitate a trade and has since been dealt from the Cardinals to the Texans. Earlier this month, the Browns were reported to "welcome a deal at the right price" for Sanders or QB Dillon Gabriel.
| Footballguys view: Even though he fell to the fifth round a year ago, there should be teams interested in Sanders. The Ravens did like him before the draft, so perhaps he could go there and learn behind Lamar Jackson. Sanders has talent as a passer, but so long as Watson is playing good ball, he won't get an opportunity to showcase his talent. We'll see if someone like the idea of adding Sanders as a developmental prospect. |

Buccaneers QB Baker Mayfield (thumb) is expected to test his ability to grip and throw the football on Wednesday, though whether he can do so effectively is still to be determined.
| Footballguys view: Rookie QB Jalon Daniels is expected to start Sunday against the Steelers unless Mayfield recovers more quickly than expected. Tampa Bay's next game after the Steelers is at Carolina. Perhaps Mayfield will be ready for that contest. Stay tuned. |
