Tyrone Tracy Jr. Limited On Thursday

According to Dan Salomone of Giants.com, rookie running back Tyrone Tracy Jr. (ankle) was a limited participant again during Thursday's practice.

According to Dan Salomone of Giants.com, wide receivers Malik Nabers (knee/foot) and Wan'Dale Robinson (shoulder) practiced in full on Thursday.

Nick Westbrook-Ikhine Not Practicing On Thursday

According to Terry McCormick of the Titans Insider, wide receiver Nick Westbrook-Ikhine (ankle) did not practice for the second straight day on Thursday afternoon. Fantasy managers should pay close attention to his status during Friday's session, as he could be in danger of missing Sunday's game. After finding the end zone eight times during Weeks […]


Tony Pollard Does Not Practice On Thursday

According to Terry McCormick of the Titans Insider, running back Tony Pollard (ankle) was not seen at practice for the second straight day. Fantasy managers should pay close attention to his status on Friday, as he will likely carry an injury designation after missing the first two practice sessions of the week. Pollard has been […]


Zach Ertz Does Not Practice On Wednesday

Washington Commanders tight end Zach Ertz (concussion) did not practice on Wednesday. Fantasy managers should pay close attention to his status throughout the week, as he would need to pass the league's protocol before returning to action.

According to Nick Underhill of the New Orleans Football Network, the New Orleans Saints have signed free agent running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire.

According to Nick Farabaugh of Penn Live, Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Justin Fields (abdomen) did not participate in practice for the second straight day on Wednesday.

This was his second straight full practice of the week, putting him in a good position to suit up on Saturday to face the Houston Texans. Mahomes left Sunday's game early due to […]
