Los Angeles Dodgers relief pitcher Yency Almonte (elbow) threw 25 pitches of live batting practice to infielder Gavin Lux (neck) on Wednesday.

New York Giants wide receiver Kadarius Toney (hamstring) was added to the injury report this week after getting in a limited practice session on Thursday.

Baltimore Ravens running back J.K. Dobbins (knee) was a full participant in practice for a second straight day on Thursday.

Jaylen Warren's Week 2 Outlook For Fantasy Football

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Jaylen Warren was a popular waiver pickup following Week 1 after starting running back Najee Harris (foot) left the season opener with a foot injury.
