Injuries continue to mount throughout the NFL. Plenty of players were banged up in Week 10, while others suffered injuries that could knock them out for several weeks or more.
Let’s round up the most notable injury updates looking ahead to Week 11.
Atlanta Falcons
Kirk Cousins, QB
The Falcons only held a walkthrough on Wednesday, but QB Kirk Cousins would have been limited by right shoulder and elbow injuries.
Notably, this was Cousins’ first inclusion on an Atlanta injury report this season.
However, he was upgraded to a full participant on Thursday, meaning that Cousins should be ready to roll for Week 11. However, he’s not a recommended fantasy option against a Broncos defense that ranks third in EPA per pass.
Bijan Robinson, RB
Bijan Robinson was not listed on Thursday’s injury report.
Tyler Allgeier, RB
Tyler Allgeier was limited for Wednesday’s practice while dealing with a quad injury he may have picked up in Week 10. The good news is that he was upgraded to full on Thursday, so Allgeier should be available against Denver on Sunday.
Allgeier is probably a better real-life football player than fantasy starter. While he receives touches behind Bijan Robinson, Allgeier has finished as a top-30 fantasy RB just once this season. He’s primarily a handcuff.
Drake London, WR
Drake London is still slightly hampered by the hip injury he suffered in Week 9. However, Thursday brought the most tangible sign of progress yet.
London was a full participant Thursday, his first full practice since suffering the injury. The Falcons have no issue taking it easy on their WR1, as he had been limited in every practice since suffering that hip pointer. However, it’s a great sign that he’s back to practicing in full.
London leads the Falcons with 58 receptions, while his 649 receiving yards are second on the team to Darnell Mooney. His six touchdown receptions are also already a career-high (and as many as he had his first two seasons combined).
Darnell Mooney, WR
Darnell Mooney was a limited participant on Thursday’s injury report with an Achilles injury. Mooney was not listed at all on Wednesday, and this is not something he was listed for last week either.
The good news is that there hasn’t been any report of a more significant injury, so this is likely precautionary. But it would be helpful to see Mooney practice in some capacity on Friday to ensure that his game status is not in any serious jeopardy.
Ray-Ray McCloud, WR
Ray-Ray McCloud was not listed on Thursday’s injury report.
Kyle Pitts, TE
Kyle Pitts was not listed on Thursday’s injury report.
Baltimore Ravens
Lamar Jackson, QB
Lamar Jackson was listed on Thursday’s injury report as limited due to “rest/knee.” This is likely the same maintenance program Jackson has undergone all season, as he is in no jeopardy of missing Sunday’s game.
Derrick Henry, RB
Derrick Henry was not listed on Thursday’s injury report.
Justice Hill, RB
Justice Hill was not listed on Thursday’s injury report.
Keaton Mitchell, RB
Keaton Mitchell was not listed on Thursday’s injury report.
Zay Flowers, WR
Zay Flowers was not listed on Thursday’s injury report.
Rashod Bateman, WR
Rashod Bateman was not listed on Thursday’s injury report.
Diontae Johnson, WR
Diontae Johnson was not listed on Thursday’s injury report.
Mark Andrews, TE
Mark Andrews was not listed on Thursday’s injury report.
Isaiah Likely, TE
Isaiah Likely (hamstring) could be trending toward a one-game absence. While he didn’t play in Week 10, Likely returned to full practice on Thursday after being limited on Wednesday ahead of Week 11.
Likely didn’t practice a single time going into last week’s game, so this represents a huge upgrade. Whether Likely has any fantasy value remaining is an open question, however.
Fellow Ravens TE Mark Andrews has looked like his old self in recent games, finishing as a top-six fantasy tight end in Weeks 6, 7, and 10. He’s dominating targets, while Baltimore’s acquisition of Diontae Johnson means the Ravens are playing more three-WR sets with Likely on the sidelines.
Buffalo Bills
Josh Allen, QB
Josh Allen (left hand) fully practiced on Wednesday and Thursday. Barring a setback, he will play in Week 11.
James Cook, RB
James Cook was not listed on Thursday’s injury report.
Amari Cooper, WR
Amari Cooper has missed the Bills’ last two games with a wrist injury and began Week 11 preparations with a limited practice Wednesday and Thursday.
Cooper has participated in limited practice in each of the last two weeks but has not been able to play. Even with rookie WR Keon Coleman absent in Week 10, Buffalo didn’t push Cooper to suit up. But speaking on Thursday, Cooper seemed confident he would return for the massive showdown vs. the Kansas City Chiefs.
Amari Cooper says he believes he will be able to play for the #Bills this week against the Chiefs: “Definitely feeling better, definitely more comfortable. Just ready to play football again.” Cooper has missed two straight games with a wrist injury #BillsMafia pic.twitter.com/YEAchVPhqu
— alex brasky (@alexbrasky) November 14, 2024
The 10-year pro has five receptions for 69 yards and a touchdown in two games with Buffalo since being traded from the Browns. Cooper was still ramping up his participation before this injury, playing only 43% of the snaps so far with the Bills.
Khalil Shakir, WR
Khalil Shakir was not listed on Thusday’s injury report.
Keon Coleman, WR
Bills rookie wideout Keon Coleman did not practice on Wednesday or Thursday as he battles a wrist injury. The second-round pick did not play in Week 10.
Coleman was injured while trying to haul in a deep pass from Josh Allen with 54 seconds remaining in the fourth quarter in Week 9. He went to Buffalo’s locker room before the game was over. After the Bills’ victory, Coleman had a brace on his right wrist.
Head coach Sean McDermott said last week that Coleman could be dealing with a multi-week injury.
Dalton Kincaid, TE
Dalton Kincaid suffered a knee injury just before halftime of the Bills’ eventual win over the Colts.
He was initially listed as questionable and returned to Sunday’s game. However, Kincaid played just two snaps before departing again midway through the third quarter. The Bills listed him as doubtful and didn’t re-enter a second time.
Dalton Kincaid on his knee injury sustained during win over the Colts: “Thought I could go then just didn’t feel good enough to run and be able to go out there and protect myself.” Says he doesn’t know the extent of the injury #Bills #BillsMafia pic.twitter.com/mMRQtn5G4t
— alex brasky (@alexbrasky) November 10, 2024
“Thought I could go then just didn’t feel good enough to run and be able to go out there and protect myself,” Kincaid explained after the game, adding that he isn’t sure the extent of his injury.
On Monday, head coach Sean McDermott said the Bills will need to see how Kincaid performs during practice this week before addressing status for Week 11.
Kincaid did not practice on Wednesday or Thursday, an ominous sign for his Sunday availability. He’ll likely need to manage at least a limited practice on Friday in order to play against the Chiefs. Fellow TE Dawson Knox will be in line for increased usage if Kincaid sits.
Chicago Bears
Caleb Williams, QB
Caleb Williams was not listed on Thursday’s injury report.
D’Andre Swift, RB
D’Andre Swift was not listed on Thursday’s injury report.
DJ Moore, WR
DJ Moore was not listed on Thursday’s injury report.
Keenan Allen, WR
Keenan Allen was not listed on Thursday’s injury report.
Rome Odunze, WR
Rome Odunze was not listed on Thursday’s injury report.
Cole Kmet, TE
Cole Kmet was not listed on Thursday’s injury report.
Cincinnati Bengals
Joe Burrow, QB
Joe Burrow (right wrist/left biceps) was listed as a full participant on Wednesday and Thursday. He’s in no danger of missing Week 11.
Chase Brown, RB
Chase Brown was not listed on Thursday’s injury report.
Ja’Marr Chase, WR
Ja’Marr Chase was not listed on Thursday’s injury report.
Tee Higgins, WR
Tee Higgins, who has missed three straight games after injuring his quad, was limited for the Bengals’ first two practices Wednesday and Thursday. Those were his first session since going down on the Friday before Week 8.
“Both guys (Higgins and left tackle Orlando Brown Jr.) did the walkthrough,” head coach Zac Taylor said Wednesday. “If they have intentions to play, we ask that they go through the walkthrough.”
Higgins apparently participated in that walkthrough to some degree, and following it up with a second consecutive practice Thursday is a promising indication for his availability.
Higgins also missed the first two games of the season with a hamstring injury. The fifth-year pro has 29 catches for 341 yards in 2024 and is set to enter free agency this offseason after playing on the franchise tag.
Mike Gesicki, TE
Mike Gesicki was not listed on Thursday’s injury report.
Cleveland Browns
Jameis Winston, QB
Jameis Winston wasn’t listed on Thursday’s practice report.
Nick Chubb, RB
Nick Chubb wasn’t listed on Thursday’s practice report.
Jerome Ford, RB
Jerome Ford wasn’t listed on Thursday’s practice report.
Cedric Tillman, WR
Cedric Tillman wasn’t listed on Thursday’s practice report.
Jerry Jeudy, WR
Jerry Jeudy (knee) fully practiced on Wednesday and Thursday. He doesn’t seem to be in any danger of missing Week 11, and another full practice on Friday would confirm that.
David Njoku, TE
David Njoku wasn’t listed on Thursday’s practice report.
Dallas Cowboys
Cooper Rush, QB
Cooper Rush was a full participant with a neck injury on Thursday’s practice report, the first ahead of the team’s Week 11 Monday night game. Rush doesn’t appear to be in any jeopardy of missing a start due to injury. However, another subpar performance could open the door for the Cowboys to take a look at former third overall pick Trey Lance.
Rico Dowdle, RB
Rico Dowdle wasn’t listed on Thursday’s practice report.
Ezekiel Elliott, RB
Ezekiel wasn’t listed on Thursday’s practice report.
CeeDee Lamb, WR
CeeDee Lamb wasn’t listed on Thursday’s practice report.
Jalen Tolbert, WR
Jalen Tolbert wasn’t listed on Thursday’s practice report.
Jonathan Mingo, WR
Jonathan Mingo wasn’t listed on Thursday’s practice report.
Jake Ferguson, TE
Jake Ferguson did not practice to begin the week, recording a DNP on Thursday with an illness. As of now, there’s no indication his illness is severe enough to force him out of action on Monday, but it’s worth keeping an eye to see if he returns to practice.
Ferguson has been one of the more underwhelming tight ends in fantasy this season. Ferguson enters Week 11 as the TE12 by PPR points per game. His 42 receptions do rank sixth among tight ends, but he has yet to reach the end zone and is averaging a meager 44.8 receiving yards per game.
The third-year pro had just four catches for 24 yards last week in the team’s first game without Dak Prescott. Given the woeful quarterback situation, Ferguson is a very shaky start regardless of the opposition.
Denver Broncos
Bo Nix, QB
Bo Nix wasn’t listed on Thursday’s practice report.
Audric Estime, RB
Audric Estime wasn’t listed on Thursday’s practice report.
Javonte Williams, RB
Javonte Williams wasn’t listed on Thursday’s practice report.
Courtland Sutton, WR
Courtland Sutton wasn’t listed on Thursday’s practice report.
Josh Reynolds, WR
Josh Reynolds was listed on the practice report Wednesday and Thursday with a hand injury, but he practiced in full both days and is on track to return after a five-week absence.
Detroit Lions
Jared Goff, QB
Jared Goff was not listed on Thursday’s injury report.
Jahmyr Gibbs, RB
Jahmyr Gibbs was not listed on Thursday’s injury report.
David Montgomery, WR
David Montgomery was not listed on Thursday’s injury report.
Amon-Ra St. Brown, WR
Amon-Ra St. Brown was not listed on Thursday’s injury report.
Jameson Williams, WR
Jameson Williams was not listed on Thursday’s injury report.
Sam LaPorta, TE
Lions tight end Sam LaPorta did not practice on Wednesday or Thurssday as he battles a sprained AC joint in his shoulder. The second-year TE went down during his club’s comeback victory over the Texans in Week 10.
On Monday, head coach Dan Campbell admitted that LaPorta’s status for Week 11 is murky but noted that the second-year TE will not miss significant time.
“It’ll be day-to-day,” Campbell said. “We don’t feel like this is something like, ‘Ah, man, this is gonna be a long, nagging injury.’ I think we’ll get through it. I’m hopeful this week, but I can’t say that. He’s questionable.”
LaPorta finished as fantasy’s TE1 in his 2023 rookie campaign but has struggled to contribute this season. However, his 3-66-1 line on SNF was one of his best performances of the season (TE4 on the week).
Green Bay Packers
Jordan Love, QB
Jordan Love (groin) fully practiced on Wednesday and Thursday. Barring a setback, he will be good to go for Week 11 vs. the Bears.
Josh Jacobs, RB
Packers running back Josh Jacobs is battling a new quad injury and was limited for the first two practices on Wednesday and Thursday.
Jacobs was dealing with an ankle injury in Week 9 before Green Bay went on bye. He was listed as questionable but ultimately suited up.
Now facing a new injury, Jacobs will be worth watching throughout the week. Ideally, he would progress to a full practice by Friday. But even limited sessions might be enough for him to play in Week 11.
Emanuel Wilson and Chris Brooks would likely split touches in the event Jacobs didn’t play on Sunday. The Packers also designated third-round rookie MarShawn Lloyd (ankle/hamstring) ) to return from IR on Wednesday, but he may not be ready to go by Week 11, as he’s been limited in practice this week as well.
MarShawn Lloyd, RB
The Packers rookie was limited in practice both Wednesday and Thursday to start the week as he looks to return from ankle and hamstring injuries.
Lloyd has only appeared in one game this season, rushing six times for 15 yards in Week 2 vs. the Indianapolis Colts. His 21-day window to return was opened this week.
Given how much time he’s missed, it seems unlikely Lloyd will return as soon as immediately eligible in Week 11. With Josh Jacobs and Emanuel Wilson leading the backfield, Lloyd is unlikely to have a significant role in 2024 barring further backfield injuries.
Jayden Reed, WR
Jayden Reed was not listed on Thursday’s injury report.
Romeo Doubs, WR
Romeo Doubs was not listed on Thursday’s injury report.
Christian Watson, WR
Christian Watson was not listed on Thursday’s injury report.
Tucker Kraft, TE
Tucker Kraft was not listed on WednesThursday’say’s injury report.
Houston Texans
C.J. Stroud, QB
C.J. Stroud was a full participant with a right hand injury on Thursday’s injury report. While Stroud has taken plenty of abuse in recent weeks amid poor pass protection, this doesn’t seem to be anything that would place his status in jeopardy for Monday night.
Joe Mixon, RB
Joe Mixon was not listed on Thursday’s injury report.
Nico Collins, WR
Nico Collins opened Week 11 with a limited practice on Thursday due to his hamstring injury. Collins was activated off injured reserve prior to Week 10, but did not suit up vs. the Detroit Lions.
#Texans star wide receiver Nico Collins shedding the rust as he gets ready for #Cowboys Monday night game @KPRC2 pic.twitter.com/CoQTMUQDSm
— Aaron Wilson (@AaronWilson_NFL) November 14, 2024
Collins did not practice until Friday last week, so it’s promising for his return that he’s starting off Week 11 at practice right away. The NFL’s leading receiver through Week 5, Collins has missed five straight games, but appears poised to return Monday night. He’s an immediate must-start regardless of the time missed.
Tank Dell, WR
Tank Dell was not listed on Thursday’s injury report.
Dalton Schultz, TE
Dalton Schultz was not listed on Thursday’s injury report.
Indianapolis Colts
Anthony Richardson, QB
Anthony Richardson was not listed on Thursday’s injury report.
Jonathan Taylor, RB
Jonathan Taylor was not listed on Thursday’s injury report.
Michael Pittman Jr., WR
Michael Pittman Jr. (back) was a full participant for Colts practice Wednesday and Thursday.
Pittman has been battling a back issue since Week 6. Indy initially thought he might have to go on injured reserve, but Pittman continued to play until Week 9, when he finally missed a game.
In previous weeks, the Colts had been giving Pittman Wednesdays off. Now that he has taken a full week off, Pittman appears to be closer to full strength heading into Week 11.
Pittman’s pending return will flatten the fantasy prospects for Indianapolis’ other starting wideouts (Josh Downs and Alec Pierce), while second-round rookie Adonai Mitchell will head back to the bench. Anthony Richardson’s re-insertion into the Colts’ lineup also drastically reduces the ceiling and floor for Indy’s WRs.
Josh Downs, WR
Josh Downs was not listed on Thursday’s injury report.
Alec Pierce, WR
Alec Pierce was not listed on Thursday’s injury report.
Jacksonville Jaguars
Trevor Lawrence, QB
Week 11 status: OUT
Jaguars head coach Doug Pederson officially ruled Trevor Lawrence out for Week 11 on Wednesday. Mac Jones will make his second consecutive start.
Lawrence is dealing with a significant AC joint sprain in his left, non-throwing shoulder. The Athletic’s Dianna Russini reported this week that Lawrence is “gathering information” about his injury and appears to be considering all options.
Jacksonville will be 2-9 if it loses to Detroit, leaving little incentive for Lawrence to fight through his shoulder injury.
Travis Etienne Jr., RB
Travis Etienne Jr. was not listed on Thursday’s injury report.
Tank Bigsby, RB
Tank Bigsby did not practice on Wednesday or Thursday after appearing to aggravate an existing ankle injury in Week 10.
He was slow to get up after taking a first-down carry for three yards with roughly seven minutes remaining in the first quarter. While he returned to Week 10’s game after entering the blue medical tent, Bigsby only handled one more touch.
Bigsby was limited at every Jaguars practice leading up to Week 10. His inability to play after going down was concerning and his two DNPs to start the week means he’s trending in the wrong direction.
Unfortunately, the Jaguars’ offense is a situation to avoid in fantasy, even if Bigsby were healthy. Mac Jones struggled as Trevor Lawrence’s replacement, while Travis Etienne Jr. handled 11 carries after Bigsby went down. Bigsby is talented, but an RB who’s part of a committee on a bad offense isn’t an enticing option.
Brian Thomas Jr., WR
Brian Thomas Jr. (chest) was limited for practice Wednesday and Thursday, but this is nothing to be concerned about.
Thomas has been limited in every practice since going down in Week 8. The first-round rookie played in Week 9 (despite being listed as a game-time decision) and was good to go in Week 10 after being called questionable.
Entering Week 11, Thomas ranks first among rookie receivers in yards (607), receiving touchdowns (five), and yards per route run (2.40). He’s second to Mailk Nabers in receptions (37) and Marvin Harreison Jr. in receiving TDs (five).
Gabe Davis, WR
Gabe Davis returned for the Jaguars in Week 10 after missing most of Week 8 and all of Week 9 with a shoulder injury. He’s consistently been limited in practices and carried the same status on Wednesday and Thursday.
Given that he was able to play last week, Davis should be good to go against the Lions on Sunday.
When healthy, Davis has a clear path to opportunity in Jacksonville’s wide receiver hierarchy. Fellow Jags WR Christian Kirk is on IR with a broken collarbone, leaving Davis as the club’s WR2 behind first-round rookie Brian Thomas Jr. However, it’s hard to expect much from Jacksonville’s passing attack with QB2 Mac Jones under center.
Parker Washington, WR
Parkwe Washington was not listed on Thursday’s injury report.
Evan Engram, TE
Evan Engram was not listed on Thursday’s injury report.
Kansas City Chiefs
Patrick Mahomes, QB
Patrick Mahomes was not listed on Thursday’s injury report.
Kareem Hunt, RB
Kareem Hunt (knee) fully practiced on Wednesday and Thursday and is ready to go for Week 11.
Isiah Pacheco, RB
While Isiah Pacheco has been on IR since fracturing his fibula in Week 2, he could be nearing a return.
Pacheco practiced on Wednesday for the first time since going down in September. He was officially limited both Wednesday and Thursday. However, the second-year running back is not expected to suit up when Kansas City faces Buffalo on Sunday.
Hunt has been outstanding in Pacheco’s absence and has finished as a fantasy RB2 in five consecutive games. It seems unlikely that the Chiefs would immediately deploy Pacheco as a featured back upon his return. As such, this could devolve into a running-back-by-commitee once Pacheco gets up to speed.
DeAndre Hopkins, WR
DeAndre Hopkins (knee) fully practiced on Wednesday and Thursday and should be ready to play in week 11.
Xavier Worthy, WR
Xavier Worthy was not listed on Thursday’s injury report.
JuJu Smith-Schuster, WR
JuJu Smith-Schuster was limited with his hamstring injury to begin the week on Wednesday, but upgraded to full on Thursday. It’s his first full practice since re-aggravating that hamstring back in Week 7, and bodes well for Smith-Schuster’s chances of returning.
The veteran wideout has been missing the past three games after going out in Week 7 vs. the San Francisco 49ers. Smith-Schuster attempted to play through a hamstring ailment that week, which was an unwise choice as he left after only seven snaps.
Smith-Schuster was terrific in his last full game, recording seven catches for 130 yards in Week 6 vs. the New Orleans Saints on Monday Night Football. His volume will likely be mitigated by DeAndre Hopkins, who was not yet on the team at that time. However, Smith-Schuster will be a welcome addition for a Chiefs offense that hasn’t had much pass-catching depth this year.
Travis Kelce, TE
Travis Kelce was not listed on Thursday’s injury report.
Harrison Butker, K
Harrison Butker did not appear on Wednesday’s injury report, but was limited on Thursday with a left knee injury. It turns out this will not be a short-term absence, as Butker needs a meniscus trim that will require an injured reserve stint.
#Chiefs K Harrison Butker is expected to have surgery to trim his meniscus in his left knee, per source. That's why he's headed to IR, though he'll be back for the home stretch and playoffs.
— Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet) November 14, 2024
Butker will be eligible to return in Week 15 vs. the Cleveland Browns after he misses at least four games. Assuming a full return to health, that should give the Chiefs’ kicker plenty of time to knock off the rust before another Super Bowl run.
Las Vegas Raiders
Gardner Minshew, QB
Gardner Minshew was not listed on Thursday’s injury report.
Alexander Mattison, RB
Alexander Mattison was not listed on Thursday’s injury report.
Jakobi Meyers, WR
Jakobi Meyers (hamstring) fully practiced on Wednesday and Thursday. This is a new injury for Meyers, who battled an ankle issue before the Raiders’ Week 10 bye. However, given his full participation this week, Meyers appears ready to play in Week 11.
Brock Bowers, TE
Brock Bowers was not listed on Thursday’s injury report.
Los Angeles Chargers
Justin Herbert, QB
Justin Herbert wasn’t listed on Thursday’s injury report.
J.K. Dobbins, RB
J.K. Dobbins was a DNP on Thursday’s injury report but solely due to rest. The Chargers gave him Thursday off last week as well as they manage his workload towards the end of the season. His status is not in jeopardy for Sunday night.
Gus Edwards, RB
Gus Edwards returned from a four-game ankle injury absence on Sunday. To begin the week, he was limited on Wednesday and Thursday while dealing with that same ankle injury.
It’s perhaps unsurprising that the Chargers are taking it easy on Edwards after his first game back. As long as he’s not downgraded on Friday, he should be ready for Week 11.
Edwards only handled 15 snaps in Week 10 but received 10 carries. We’ll need more of a sample size to determine whether Edwards will truly cut into J.K. Dobbins’ fantasy appeal. Dobbins took 15 carries and got three targets on Sunday, while Edwards (as usual) wasn’t involved in the passing game.
Ladd McConkey, WR
Ladd McConkey wasn’t listed on Thursday’s injury report.
Quentin Johnston, WR
Quentin Johnston wasn’t listed on Thursday’s injury report.
Los Angeles Rams
Matthew Stafford, QB
Matthew Stafford was not listed on Thursday’s injury report.
Kyren Williams, RB
Kyren Williams was not listed on Thursday’s injury report.
Puka Nacua, WR
Puka Nacua was not listed on Thursday’s injury report.
Cooper Kupp, WR
Cooper Kupp was not listed on Thursday’s injury report.
Demarcus Robinson, WR
Demarcus Robinson was not listed on Thursday’s injury report.
Miami Dolphins
Tua Tagovailoa, QB
Tua Tagovailoa was not listed on Thursday’s injury report.
De’Von Achane, RB
De’Von Achane was not listed on Thursday’s injury report.
Raheem Mostert, RB
Raheem Mostert was not listed on Thursday’s injury report.
Jaylen Wright, RB
Jaylen Wright was not listed on Thursday’s injury report.
Tyreek Hill, WR
Tyreek Hill did not participate in Wednesday’s practice due to a wrist injury, but was upgraded to a limited participant on Thursday. Hill was a game-time decision for Miami’s Monday night win over the Rams but ultimately suited up, playing 87% of the club’s snaps while catching three passes for 16 yards and a touchdown.
Hill told ESPN’s Lisa Salters that he’s been dealing with his wrist injury since training camp, adding that the injury was aggravated when police arrested Hill en route to the Dolphins’ Week 1 game. Hill said an MRI showed that he had a torn ligament.
Given that he played in Week 10, Hill should be good to go for Sunday’s game against the Raiders. Still, it will be worth checking back on Friday to ensure he logs another practice.
Jaylen Waddle, WR
Jaylen Waddle was not listed on Thursday’s injury report.
Jonnu Smith, TE
Jonnu Smith was not listed on Thursday’s injury report.
Minnesota Vikings
Sam Darnold, QB
Vikings quarterback Sam Darnold was limited on Wednesday after apparently picking up right hand injury on Sunday. The Athletic’s Alec Lewis said Darnold appeared to hurt his hand on one of his three Week 10 interceptions.
The good news is that he was upgraded to full on Thursday, so he doesn’t appear to be in danger of missing time.
Aaron Jones, RB
Aaron Jones was limited on Wednesday and Thursday as he deals with the rib injury he suffered in the Vikings’ win over the Jaguars in Week 10.
He departed the game after taking a hard shot on his 13th carry of the game. While he went to the locker room for X-rays, Jones eventually returned on Sunday, finishing with 17 carries for 88 yards and two carries for 13 more yards.
“The initial hit, I thought it cracked something,” Jones said. “But I’m good.”
Kevin O’Connell said Aaron Jones had some soreness after his rib injury on Sunday that might limit him in practice a bit this week, but he was confident Jones should be ready for Tennessee.
— Ben Goessling (@BenGoessling) November 11, 2024
Jones said he was still in pain after coming back into the contest but realized he could still play.
“A lot of blood, sweat, and tears go into it, just for these 17 games,” he said. “When a game is taken away from you, you really feel it. So I’m like, ‘I don’t want to miss any time. I want to get back out there.’ Shoutout to our trainers for taking care of me and making sure I was good to go.”
Jones’ temporary absence confirmed that Cam Akers — who handled 13 carries while Jones was sidelined — is Minnesota’s RB2 ahead of Ty Chandler.
Justin Jefferson, WR
Justin Jefferson was not listed on Thursday’s injury report.
Jordan Addison, WR
Jordan Addison was not listed on Thursday’s injury report.
T.J. Hockenson, TE
T.J. Hockenson was not listed on Thursday’s injury report.
New England Patriots
Drake Maye, QB
Drake Maye was not listed on Thursday’s injury report.
Rhamondre Stevenson, RB
Rhamondre Stevenson was not listed on Thursday’s injury report.
DeMario Douglas, WR
DeMario Douglas was not listed on Thursday’s injury report.
Hunter Henry, TE
Veteran Patriots tight end Hunter Henry was limited by a foot injury during Wednesday’s practice. This is a new issue for Henry, who was not listed on New England’s injury report in Week 10. However, he was upgraded to a full participant on Thursday, suggesting this is a minor issue.
Henry has proven to be a valuable option in the Patriots’ passing game, but — like most tight ends — he’s mercurial in fantasy. While he’s posted four top-12 TE performances this season, he’s been outside the top-25 fantasy TEs in five other games.
New Orleans Saints
Derek Carr, QB
Derek Carr wasn’t listed on Thursday’s injury report.
Alvin Kamara, RB
Alvin Kamara wasn’t listed on Thursday’s injury report.
Mason Tipton, WR
Mason Tipton wasn’t listed on Thursday’s injury report.
Marques Valdez-Scantling, WR
Marques Valdez-Scantling wasn’t listed on Thursday’s injury report.
Taysom Hill, TE
Taysom Hill wasn’t listed on Thursday’s injury report.
Juwan Johnson, TE
Juwan Johnson wasn’t listed on Thursday’s injury report.
New York Jets
Aaron Rodgers, QB
Aaron Rogers (hamstring/knee) fully practiced on Wednesday and Thursday. He’s in no danger of missing Week 11.
Breece Hall, RB
Breece Hall wasn’t listed on Thursday’s injury report.
Davante Adams, WR
Wideout Davante Adams did not practice on Wednesday or Thursday as he battles an illness and wrist soreness. While there’s been no indication he won’t be ready to face the Colts on Sunday, it would be concerning if he didn’t practice at all this week. Jets reporter Rich Cimini did note that Adams was out and about in the locker room on Thursday.
Adams is averaging nearly 10 targets per game since being acquired by the Jets. Still, he’s only finished as a top-30 fantasy WR once in four games.
Garrett Wilson, WR
Garrett Wilson wasn’t listed on Thursday’s injury report.
Tyler Conklin, TE
Tyler Conklin wasn’t listed on Thursday’s injury report.
Philadelphia Eagles
Jalen Hurts, QB
Jalen Hurts was not listed on this week’s injury report.
Saquon Barkley, RB
Saquon Barkley was not listed on this week’s injury report.
A.J. Brown, WR
A.J. Brown was not listed on this week’s injury report.
DeVonta Smith, WR
Week 11 status: PLAYING
The Eagles took it easy on DeVonta Smith, who did not participate in Monday’s estimated practice while dealing with a hamstring injury. He was upgraded to limited practices on Tuesday and Wednesday and was officially removed from Philadelphia’s injury report.
Philadelphia is facing a quick turnaround, as Thursday’s game against the Commanders will decide control of the NFC East. Smith didn’t practice on Wednesday ahead of Week 10, either, but he returned for a limited session on Thursday before fully practicing on Friday. The Eagles’ WR2 didn’t carry an injury designation into Sunday’s eventual win over the Cowboys.
Dallas Goedert, TE
Week 11 status: PLAYING
While Smith’s injury issue probably isn’t severe, Dallas Goedert’s ankle injury is new. The veteran tight end missed Weeks 7 through 9 with a hamstring problem but is now battling an ankle injury.
Fortunately, Goedert was formally removed from the Eagles’ injury report on Wednesday and will play in Week 11.
Goedert was listed as a DNP for Monday’s walkthrough but returned for a limited practice on Tuesday. He was upgraded to a full session on Wednesday, erasing any concerns about his availability for Thursday night’s NFC East showdown.
Pittsburgh Steelers
Russell Wilson, QB
Russell Wilson was not listed on Thursday’s injury report.
Najee Harris, RB
Najee Harris didn’t participate in Wednesday’s Steelers practices while battling an ankle injury. The good news is he was upgraded to a full participant on Thursday.
Harris played his usual allotment of snaps (47%) in Pittsburgh’s Week 10 win over the Commanders, taking 21 carries for 53 yards and a touchdown. However, he must have tweaked his ankle at some point during Sunday’s game.
Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin suggested that he was being cautious with several injured players, which could be the case with Harris. His return to full participation after one maintenance day suggests this could be something the Steelers manage down the stretch.
Even with his usual allotment of carries, Harris is a worse fantasy option than usual. The Ravens rank third in EPA per rush and have allowed the sixth-fewest PPR points per game to running backs this season.
Jaylen Warren, RB
Jaylen Warren was added to Thursday’s injury report with a back injury. Warren sat out three games earlier this season with a knee injury, but this is a new ailment.
Keep an eye on his Friday participation level, as a DNP would indicate that this was a new injury suffered and will require some missed time. Since returning, Warren has taken 35% of the running back carries for Pittsburgh, compared to 62% for Najee Harris and 3% for Cordarrelle Patterson.

Brock Purdy was not listed on Thursday’s injury report.
Christian McCaffrey, RB
After playing in his first game of the season on Sunday, Christian McCaffrey was limited for practice both Wednesday and Thursday.
However, this is nothing to be concerned about. 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan told reporters that Wednesday’s limited practice was part of CMC’s maintenance program. He did not experience a flare-up with his Achilles injury.
As expected, San Francisco didn’t hold McCaffrey back in Week 10. He was deployed at his usual extreme rate, playing 88% of the club’s offensive while handling 13 carries and receiving seven targets.
While he didn’t score a touchdown, CMC’s six catches were enough to propel him to an RB11 finish in PPR leagues. It’s good to have one of the best fantasy assets of all time back on the field.
Jordan Mason, RB
Jordan Mason was not listed on Thursday’s injury report.
Deebo Samuel, WR
Deebo Samuel was not listed on Thursday’s injury report.
Jauan Jennings, WR
After not appearing on Wednesday’s injury report, Jauan Jennings was a new addition on Thursday as limited with an ankle injury. This is different from the hip injury that caused Jennings to miss two games earlier this season.
It doesn’t feel like a maintenance program for Jennings, as he went limited-limited-full last week and did not have an ankle injury listed at all. If this was a new injury suffered Thursday, his status for Sunday vs. the Seattle Seahawks would be in doubt.
Jennings had a successful return in Week 10 vs. the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, recording a team-high seven receptions for 93 yards. Jennings played a season-high 90.2% of the snaps as well, showing no limitations.
Ricky Pearsall, WR
Ricky Pearsall was not listed on Thursday’s injury report.
George Kittle, TE
George Kittle emerged from Sunday’s win with a hamstring injury and did not practice on Wednesday. However, the word was that he was expected to practice Thursday, and the tight end followed through with a limited session.
Kyle Shanahan suggested that Kittle is not dealing with a significant injury. As long as he can participate again on Friday, Kittle should be ready to face the Seahawks in Week 11.
Seattle Seahawks
Geno Smith, QB
Geno Smith was not listed on Thursday’s injury report.

Zach Charbonnet was not listed on Thursday’s injury report.
DK Metcalf, WR
Seahawks head coach Mike Macdonald told reporters that DK Metcalf (knee) will be limited for Wednesday’s practice. However, Metcalf actually wound up practicing in full, and did the same on Thursday. This was Metcalf’s first practice since he injured his knee in Week 7.
Metcalf was leading Seattle in targets and receptions when he went down last month. He’s since been usurped by Jaxon Smith-Njigba in targets and catches, but the two now have the exact same yardage total (568) on the season).
JSN was a target hog in the Seahawks’ last game before their Week 10 bye, catching seven passes on 13 targets for 180 yards and two touchdowns against the Rams. Metcalf’s return to the lineup in Week 11 will likely lower Smith-Njigba’s ceiling.
Jaxon Smith-Njigba, WR
Jaxon Smith-Njigba was not listed on Thursday’s injury report.
Tyler Lockett, WR
Tyler Lockett was not listed on Thursday’s injury report.
Noah Fant, TE
Noah Fant did not play in Week 9 due to a groin strain. Even with the team’s Week 10 bye to rest, Fant is still not recovered from the injury. He did not practice on Wednesday or Thursday and appears unlikely to play in Week 11. Rookie A.J. Barner will start in Fant’s place.
Tennessee Titans
Will Levis, QB
Will Levis was not listed on Thursday’s injury report.
Tony Pollard, RB
Tony Pollard was given a rest day and did not practice on Wednesday. He was upgraded to a limited practice on Thursday, putting him on track to play in Week 11.

Tyjae Spears was not listed on Thursday’s injury report.

Jayden Daniels, QB
Jayden Daniels was not listed on this week’s injury report.
Brian Robinson Jr., RB
Week 11 status: PLAYING
Brian Robinson Jr. (hamstring) was officially removed from the Commanders’ injury report on Wednesday. Barring a setback, he will play against the Eagles on Thursday night.
Robinson was listed as limited for the Commanders’ Monday walkthrough and Tuesday practice, but we weren’t taking anything for granted on a short week. He’s now expected to return after a two-game absence.
Robinson’s hamstring injury limited him in practice leading up to Week 9, but he was expected to go. However, pregame warmups did not go well, and Robinson was made inactive for the Commanders’ win over the Giants.
Week 10 was a downgrade for Robinson. He was limited on Wednesday and Thursday but didn’t participate on Friday before officially being ruled out.
Austin Ekeler dominated Washington’s RB snaps (45) and touches (14) with Robinson sidelined in Week 10. Jeremy McNichols played 19 snaps (and scored a touchdown), while Chris Rodriguez Jr. saw five snaps.
