Latest Player News

All Player News

Travis Etienne Jr.

JAX Running Back #1

Travis Etienne (shoulder) was removed from the injury report and will play in Week 6 against the Bears.

Etienne got banged up in Week 5 versus the Colts. He played through the injury but was clearly limited and ceded 13 carries to backup Tank Bigsby. Etienne rushed just six times. He should be back on top of the backfield in Week 6, but Bigsby has out-played him too often to go away, whether or not Etienne is healthy. Part of a dreaded backfield-by-committee, Etienne is a touchdown-based RB2 versus Chicago.
Evan Engram

JAX Tight End #17

Evan Engram (hamstring) is questionable for Week 6 against the Bears.

Engram was limited in practice throughout the week. He is still working his way back from the hamstring injury he suffered in pre-game warmups before Week 2. Doug Pederson said earlier in the week that the chances of Engram returning on Sunday were “pretty good.” That puts him on the right side of questionable, though he does appear to be a true game-time call. Brenton Strange would get the start if he is ruled out ahead of kickoff. Strange has 12 grabs for 120 yards and a score over the past four weeks.
DeVonta Smith

PHI Wide Receiver #6

DeVonta Smith (concussion) was removed from the injury report and will play in Week 6 against the Browns.

Smith cleared concussion protocol on Friday after practicing in full throughout the week. Both he and A.J. Brown are good to go for Week 6. Smith returns to face a banged-up Cleveland defense that hasn’t lived up to the hype from their legendary 2023 campaign. Smith is back in the WR2 ranks versus the Browns.
Bijan Robinson

ATL Running Back #7

Bijan Robinson (hamstring) practiced in full on Friday and has been cleared to play in Week 6 against the Panthers.

Robinson popped up on Thursday’s injury report with a hamstring injury, but whatever is ailing him doesn’t appear to be that serious. The Falcons’ RB1 has officially been cleared to play in Week 6 against the Panthers, who allowed 128 rushing yards to the Bears in Week 5. Robinson will be in the mix as a low-end RB1 for the week.
James Cook

BUF Running Back #4

James Cook (foot/toe) did not practice Friday.

Cook has yet to practice this week, though his Friday status is just an estimation from the team as they only held a walkthrough. Still, it’s a bad sign for Cook and puts him on the wrong side of questionable heading into the weekend. The Bills play on Monday, giving him a shot at returning to practice on Saturday. If he is ruled out, Ty Johnson and Ray Davis will split the Buffalo backfield. Davis would likely see more of the between-the-tackles work, putting him on the RB2/3 border.
Anthony Richardson

IND Quarterback #5

Colts head coach Shane Steichen said Anthony Richardson (oblique) will be a game-time decision for Week 6 against the Titans.

Richardson has been practicing in full and Steichen already told reporters he remains the starter when healthy. He will be listed as questionable on the injury report but looks like a good bet to suit up after missing Week 5 with the oblique injury. Richardson had no issues finding the big play early in the year but was dreadfully inaccurate on the easiest throws in the book. His return will hurt the fantasy outlooks of Josh Downs and Michael Pittman, though deep-threat Alec Pierce may not be affected as much.
Jonathan Taylor

IND Running Back #28

Jonathan Taylor (ankle) won’t play in Week 6 against the Titans.

Taylor will miss his second straight game since suffering an ankle injury in Week 4 against the Steelers. The veteran running back hasn’t taken the practice field since his injury, so Friday’s announcement shouldn’t come as a surprise to his fantasy managers. Expect Trey Sermon to lead the backfield in touches once again, while Tyler Goodson spells him on occasional downs.
Michael Pittman Jr.

IND Wide Receiver #11

Michael Pittman (back) practiced on Friday.

Pittman was rumored to be a candidate to land on injured reserve with a back injury and hadn’t practiced before today. Now, a Friday practice leaves the window open for him to play in Week 6 against the Titans — at least for now. We’ll see what head coach Shane Steichen has to say about Pittman later in the day, but regardless, this is an encouraging sign for Pittman and his fantasy managers.
Jordan Mason

SF Running Back #24

ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports 49ers RB Jordan Mason (shoulder) is believed to have suffered a sprained AC joint in Thursday’s Week 6 win over the Seahawks.

Per Schefter, Mason’s injury “is not considered serious,” but he will undergo further testing today to confirm the severity of everything. Head coach Kyle Shanahan said after the game that Mason would have been available to play in an emergency situation in last night’s win, so it’s possible he’ll be good to go for Week 7 against the Chiefs. With more than a week to heal up, we’ll see where Mason’s status stands when the team releases its first injury report next week.
Malik Nabers

NYG Wide Receiver #1

Giants HC Brian Daboll said Malik Nabers (concussion) won’t play in Week 6 against the Bengals.

Nabers has been unable to clear concussion protocol since suffering his brain injury in Thursday night’s Week 4 contest against the Cowboys. The Giants’ WR1 will now target Week 7 as a return date, while his absence this week could set Darius Slayton and Wan’Dale Robinson up for another busy outing. With Nabers sidelined last week, Slayton broke out for a surpsring 8-122-1 on 11 targets, while Robinson totaled 6-36-1 on nine targets.
