Micah Parsons

DAL EDGE #11

Micah Parsons was forced from the Cowboys’ Week 4 win over the Giants late in the fourth quarter with a left foot injury.

It seemed like either a sprained foot or potential high-ankle sprain. Parsons was walking, albeit gingerly. The injury came the same night he was evaluated for a “stinger” in the first quarter. Whatever it is, Parsons has 10 days to get cleared for Week 5 against the Steelers, but there is a real chance he is dealing with a multi-week, or perhaps even multi-month, issue. For what it’s worth, Parsons told a teammate in the locker room he was “good.” Stay tuned.
Dak Prescott

DAL Quarterback #4

Dak Prescott completed 22-of-27 passes for 221 yards and two touchdowns in the Cowboys’ 20-15, Week 4 win over the Giants.

Playing on the road on three days’ rest, Prescott and the Cowboys committed to grind-it-out, station-to-station passing as their running game remained entirely ineffective. Prescott’s only success down the field came on a 55-yard CeeDee Lamb touchdown where the superstar wideout got a safety 1-on-1 and let nature do the rest. It was an intensely boring effort outside of that second quarter big play, but it got the job done for the Cowboys’ purposes. Struggling for big fantasy days due in part to his limited supporting cast, Prescott seems to be settling into the QB10-14 range. Mike Tomlin’s Steelers are a poor Week 5 road matchup, albeit on 10 days’ rest.
Malik Nabers

NYG Wide Receiver #1

Malik Nabers caught 12-of-15 targets for 112 yards in the Giants’ Week 4 loss to the Cowboys before departing with a concussion.

Trying to catch a desperation fourth down sideline heave from Daniel Jones late in the fourth quarter, Nabers came down right on his head. He appeared to be briefly knocked out. Not good. He did make his way to the locker room under his own power, but it was the worst possible ending to a game where play-caller Brian Daboll and Jones put Nabers in harm’s way multiple times. He took a lot of big-time hits, especially in the second half. If there’s any “good news,” it’s that Nabers at least has 10 days to get cleared for Week 5 against the Seahawks. Nabers is confirming every week he is a special young player.
George Kittle

SF Tight End #85

ESPN’s Nick Wagoner expects George Kittle (hamstring) to return for Week 4 against the Patriots.

Speaking Thursday, Kittle said he is “very excited to play football” and “feeling fantastic.” The 49ers and coach Kyle Shanahan partake in as much injury report shenanigans as anyone, but Kittle has now practiced back-to-back days. It seems like his Week 3 absence was more precautionary than anything else after he tightened up late in the week. If he does indeed go against the Pats, there is a threat he’s on a snap count in a game that frankly should not be competitive.
Trey McBride

ARI Tight End #85

Trey McBride (concussion) remained “DNP” for Thursday’s practice.

Even a limited Friday practice would put McBride on track to be cleared, but it’s not looking likely at this point. McBride’s absence would funnel ever more looks Marvin Harrison’s way and likely trickle down to Greg Dortch and Michael Wilson, as well. No. 2 TE Elijah Higgins wouldn’t be worth a fantasy stream because the 2023 sixth-rounder’s résumé is just so thin.
Kenneth Walker III

SEA Running Back #9

Kenneth Walker (oblique) returned to Seahawks practice Thursday.

We don’t yet know Walker’s official status, but it’s his first practice of any kind since going down late in the Seahawks’ Week 1 victory over the Broncos. Especially with the Seahawks getting an extra day to prep for Monday Night Football, it bodes well for Walker’s Week 4 return, but Pete Carroll’s mysterious injury report ways seem to have transferred to Mike Macdonald. We aren’t taking anything for granted yet. With Zach Charbonnet ineffective during Walker’s absence, we would expect an immediate Walker return to every-down status.
Davante Adams

LV Wide Receiver #17

Davante Adams was added to the Raiders’ Thursday injury report with a hamstring issue, getting in a limited session.

Oh dear. It leaves Adams genuinely questionable for Sunday’s projected slog with the Browns, though it’s possible the Raiders are merely exercising an abundance of caution with a 31-year-old veteran. Friday, obviously, will tell the tale. Adams’ absence would mean more “easy” targets for Brock Bowers and Jakobi Meyers and potentially more down-field looks for Week 3 star Tre Tucker.
Nico Collins

HOU Wide Receiver #12

Nico Collins was added to Thursday’s injury report with a hamstring issue, getting in a “limited” session.

Uh oh. This certainly suggests an in-practice injury, though perhaps Collins is dealing with some benign “soreness.” Either way, it’s now of the utmost interest heading into Friday’s practice. Another “limited” session would probably keep Collins on track to play against the Jaguars. A DNP, on the other hand, would be quite ominous. Have a back-up plan ready, ideally somewhere other than Houston. If you desperately need a Texans option, Robert Woods and Xavier Hutchinson are the next men up with Tank Dell likely to miss Week 4.
Justin Herbert

LAC Quarterback #10

Justin Herbert (ankle) was not spotted at Thursday’s practice.

Herbert appears to be a DNP for the second consecutive day, putting his Week 4 status firmly in doubt. There’s a chance he could still log a practice on Friday, but with the Chargers coming up on a Week 5 bye, two weeks away could be more than enough time for him to bounce back from his injury. If Herbert doesn’t play, Taylor Heinicke would get the nod for the divisional matchup against the Chiefs.
Bijan Robinson

ATL Running Back #7

Bijan Robinson (shoulder) was limited in Thursday’s practice.

Being a late addition to the injury report is never a good sign, but we’ll see where things go from here before panicking. Robinson was listed as limited in Thursday’s practice, which is far more optimistic than an outright DNP. If he’s unable to go in Week 4 against the Saints, then it’s safe to assume Tyler Allgeier would be in for a busy week. Robinson’s status will be one to watch come Friday.
