Commanders QB Jayden Daniels will wear a much larger brace on his left elbow on Sunday than the one he wore last year. Daniels has had several practices to get comfortable with it, and the Commanders feel it greatly decreases the chances of the elbow being re-injured. Some things will be done differently offensively because of the elbow.

Patriots RB Rhamondre Stevenson is active for Sunday's Week 5 game against the Raiders after being listed as questionable on Friday's final injury report. Stevenson suffered a knee injury late in last Sunday's win in Buffalo. RBs TreVeyon Henderson and Corey Kiner are also active.

Eagles RB Will Shipley has been ruled out of Sunday's game against the Jaguars in London after suffering a foot injury. The Eagles are down to two running backs who started the week on the practice squad, RB Dameon Pierce and RB Carson Steele, with Pierce "the top option." Shipley had been expected to lead the backfield without RB Saquon Barkley.
| Footballguys view: Shipley scored before leaving the game so that he wasn't a complete loss as a what-the-heck flex. Pierce managed 14 yards on 11 carries and -2 yards on two receptions, so even if he gets the start against the Panthers next week, he's a desperation play. |

Dolphins RB Jaylen Wright is active for Sunday's game against the Bengals after entering the weekend questionable with a foot injury. Head coach Jeff Hafley had said he expected Wright to be fine. Wright was limited in Thursday's practice after being added to the injury report.

Bengals WR Tee Higgins is active for Sunday's game against the Dolphins despite an adductor/groin injury. Higgins said "I'm good" while in full sweat during pregame warmups, but the Bengals will keep an eye on his snaps and he will play mostly "meaningful plays." The extreme heat in Miami is also expected to play a role in his workload.

Jeanty ran the drills twice, huddled with the team's decision-makers for a discussion and went back to the locker room.

Raiders RB Ashton Jeanty (foot/ankle), listed as questionable, was on the field in Foxborough on Sunday going through a pregame workout to see if he can play against the Patriots.

The Commanders elevated WR Van Jefferson from the practice squad on Saturday. The move comes with WR Stefon Diggs out and WR Terry McLaurin questionable for Sunday's Week 5 game against the Giants.
| Footballguys view: Rookie Antonio Williams could be in line for a large role in the Commanders' passing attack. We've got him in the WR4 range, but the upside is there for him to do much more with all the injuries in their wide receiver room. McLaurin has been called a game-time decision for Sunday's game against the Giants. Stay tuned. |

The Raiders elevated rookie RB Roman Hemby from the practice squad on Saturday, NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reported. The move comes with Raiders RB Ashton Jeanty questionable for Sunday's game at New England because of foot and ankle injuries.
| Footballguys view: Jeanty's Fantasy GMs need to keep an eye out here. Jeanty was limited in Thursday's practice and missed Friday's practice. Mike Washington Jr. is in line for a large workload if Jeanty is declared out. Fantasy GMs should have already been stashing him, and if he's out there on your waiver wire, then feel free to pick him up. |

Rams DT Aaron Donald did not practice on Saturday but is "good to go" for Monday night's Week 5 game against the Bills, head coach Sean McVay said. Donald was limited in practice on Thursday, when McVay said "the hope is" that he would play against Buffalo.

The Packers placed RB Chris Brooks (ankle) on injured reserve on Saturday. Brooks had already been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Bears after missing practice all week, and the Packers signed RB Pierre Strong Jr. from the practice squad on Thursday.
| Footballguys view: Brooks is out of action, meaning the Packers will piece together an RBBC with MarShawn Lloyd, Kaleb Johnson, and Strong. We should see Strong as the primary pass-catching back from that group. Lloyd projects as an RB3/flex, Johnson as an RB4/deep flex, and Strong as a 'what the heck' flex in PPR formats. |
Chris Brooks player page
Patriots WR A.J. Brown, on injured reserve with a high-ankle sprain suffered in the season opener in Seattle, is eligible to return in Week 6.
| Footballguys view: Brown has been spotted in the Patriots locker room this week as the team prepares to ramp him up to speed. The Patriots could get him back next week vs. the Jets, but with a Thursday Night Football game in Chicago the following week, the team might wait until Week 7 to avoid playing two games in five days. Stay tuned. |
A.J. Brown player page
The Patriots placed WR Mack Hollins (calf) on injured reserve on Saturday, meaning he will miss at least four games. Hollins, the team's current leading receiver, suffered an apparent non-contact calf injury running a route in the third quarter of last Sunday's win over the Bills. WR Efton Chism III replaced Hollins in the second half of that game, catching a 19-yard pass and the game-winning touchdown, and will likely get the bulk of the work as the third receiver alongside Romeo Doubs and DeMario Douglas, with Kyle Williams mixing in.
| Footballguys view: Chism is not Cooper Kupp, but like Kupp, he has run-after-the-catch ability and played collegiately at Eastern Washington (on that red turf). He's a receiver who can be trusted to move the chains because of his reliable hands and ability to wiggle for extra yards. We like Chism as a 'what the heck' flex in his current role. |

The Steelers elevated RB Lew Nichols from the practice squad on Saturday for Sunday's game against the Colts, a move that suggests RB Rico Dowdle (toe) will be out for another week. Dowdle was listed as questionable after a week of limited practices. Pittsburgh also elevated WR Brandon Smith and re-signed DB Doneiko Slaughter to the active roster from the practice squad with WR Michael Pittman Jr. going to injured reserve.
| Footballguys view: It's an interesting note considering Dowdle was limited all week in practice. Jaylen Warren is in line for a sizable workload against the Colts, making him an RB1 for Fantasy GMs. If Dowdle does play, it dings Warren slightly, and Dowdle then becomes a 'what the heck' flex candidate. |
