Got limited action in Wednesday’s practice but looked to be moving better than expected. Pro Football Docs still believe it would be surprising to see him active this week.

If he’s active, fantasy owners should still hesitate to put him in the lineup.
Fantasy’s No. 3 running back in Week 1 suffered a mild high right ankle sprain, by video, but was able to finish the game.
He had 13 carries for 108 yards and a touchdown before the injury and just 3 carries for 9 yards after. Joshua Kelley had 16 rushes for 91 yards and a touchdown. Kelley should be owned in all fantasy formats.
Did not practice on Wednesday with a left hamstring strain he suffered on his final touchdown of the day, a 35-yard touchdown screen pass.
A.J. Dillon would receive increased usage if Jones isn’t able to practice Thursday or Friday.
The Eagles’ Week 1 starting running back is trending towards missing Thursday night’s game with injured ribs.
Gainwell rushed 14 times for 54 yards and caught 4 passes for 20 yards in the 25-20 Week 1 victory over the Patriots.
D’Andre Swift and Rashaad Penny could see increased usage with Gainwell out.
Missed Wednesday’s practice with an unknown foot issue but told reporters he was fine and it was just a rest day. He finished the game with 6 catches for 66 yards.
If he returns to practice Thursday, expect him to play without issues, according to the Pro Football Docs.
Logged a limited practice on Wednesday with his lingering quad issue. Andrews has dealt with the issue since late in training camp and it’s unlikely to get drastically better in a week.
He may be active given the big division matchup, but the Pro Football Docs don’t expect him to play full snaps.
Jeudy logged a limited practice on Wednesday as he continues to battle a hamstring injury that kept him out of Week 1.
Thursday should tell the real story of whether he will play this week against the Commanders. If he’s not active, Courtland Sutton and Marvin Mims will likely be the main beneficiaries.
Starting tight end Greg Dulcich left the Week 1 contest with a hamstring strain and will miss at least the next three weeks.
The Titans’ veteran wideout suffered a left ankle injury late in the loss to the Saints. By video, he appeared to suffer a mild high ankle sprain as his foot wasn’t fully planted.
He did not return as the team didn’t have a final offensive possession and did not practice on Wednesday.
Popped up with a calf issue and was limited in Wednesday’s practice. Hopefully the team is just being precautious as he was able to finish Sunday’s game with 14 carries for 62 yards.
Keontay Ingram would see increased usage if Conner can’t go.
