    Speaking Monday, Jets HC Robert Saleh said EDGE Jermaine Johnson is day-to-day with an ankle injury.
    Saleh wouldn’t offer specifics on Johnson’s injury, but said that it is not believed to be severe. We’ll know more on Johnson’s status later in the week as the Jets prepare for their Week 6 matchup against the Packers. Johnson, who the Jets selected with the 26th overall pick in this year’s draft, has 12 tackles and 1.5 sacks this season.

  • ARI Tight End #85

    Cardinals TE Trey McBride (knee) was limited in Wednesday’s practice.
    McBride popped up on the injury report with a knee issue Wednesday. He was able to practice in a limited capacity, indicating the issue is minor and that he should still be able to play Week 15. McBride has at least 12 targets in each of his last three games and stands as the top option in the passing game for Kyler Murray. Expect him to suit up barring setbacks as a fantasy TE1 against the Patriots.
  • CLE General Manager
    Browns owner Jimmy Haslem said, “We’re very supportive” of general manager Andrew Berry and head coach Kevin Stefanski.
    Haslem told ESPN the Browns’ performance this season “is a little perplexing”. He expressed support for Berry and Stefanski, who both signed contract extensions in the offseason. Haslem also added that it is too early to make decisions on the quarterback position. Given that Berry and Stefanski just signed new contracts and went 11-6 in 2023, they are likely to stick around. However, the Browns could be evaluating new quarterback talent after disappointing seasons from Deshaun Watson, who is owed $92 million in guaranteed money over the next two years.
  • CIN Quarterback #9
    Joe Burrow (wrist/knee) was limited in Wednesday’s practice.
    Burrow briefly exited the Bengals Week 14 game against the Cowboys to apply a sleeve to his left knee. He was able to return afterward and remained mobile in the pocket. Fantasy managers should not expect Burrow to miss time but he certainly managing a new issue.
  • JAX Tight End #17
    Evan Engram (shoulder) did not practice on Wednesday.
    Engram is already hampered by poor quarterback play. Adding a shoulder injury to the mix is rough. Little is known about the issue at this time so fantasy managers will want to monitor Engram’s practice participation closely. He is already toiling in the TE2 ranks as is.
  • PHI Quarterback #1
    Eagles QB Jalen Hurts (finger) was listed as a full participant in Wednesday’s walkthrough.
    The Eagles held an walkthrough practice Wednesday, so the injury report is an estimation. Hurts popped up with a left finger injury, but was still estimated to be a full participant, keeping him on track to play Week 15. With question marks surrounding his rapport with A.J. Brown and the passing game, Hurts’ passing abilities will be under extra scrutiny the rest of the season. The finger injury being on his non-throwing hand should not impact Hurts too much, and his rushing output keeps him in QB1 territory for Week 15.
  • PIT Wide Receiver #14
    George Pickens (hamstring) did not practice on Wednesday.
    Pickens was unable to practice on Wednesday, as expected. He appears highly unlikely to play after suffering a Grade 2 hamstring strain during Week 14’s practice week. Fantasy managers should monitor Pickens’ developments but fully prepare as though he will miss at least one more week.
  • SEA Wide Receiver #14
    DK Metcalf (shoulder) practiced in full on Wednesday.
    Metcalf practiced in full just once last week (Friday) so his complete participation early this week signals improved health for the veteran field stretcher. Metcalf could have a big role in an expectedly high-scoring game against the Packers in Week 15.
  • SEA Running Back #9
    Kenneth Walker III (calf) did not practice on Wednesday.
    Mike Macdonald is already telling reporters that Walker doesn’t necessarily need to practice in order to play and Walker’s injured calf required further testing earlier this week. While his malady could certainly improve, it currently looks as though Zach Charbonnet will handle another high-volume, dual-threat workload with Walker again sidelined in Week 15. No. 3 RB Kenny McIntosh is worth stashing in very deep leagues.
  • TB Wide Receiver #17
    Sterling Shepard (foot) did not practice on Wednesday.
    Shepard’s potential absence would consolidate the Buccaneers’ target tree in Week 15 so this is an injury for fantasy managers to monitor. The team’s upcoming game against the Chargers is likely to be a fantasy-friendly high-scoring affair. He would be WR4/5-viable if active.
  • TB Running Back #7
    Bucky Irving (hip/back) did not practice on Wednesday.
    Irving aggravated his combination hip and back injury in Week 14 and should be considered questionable to play in Week 15 against the Chargers. He is a highly volatile RB1/2 if active.
