Clark, 29, appeared in 13 games as a backup for the Titans last year. The career swing tackle has 18 starts across six seasons between the Colts, Eagles, and Tennessee. Pittsburgh upgraded its interior line with free agents Isaac Seumalo and Nate Herbig this offseason. Clark adds depth at the tackle spots.

Rodgers, who turns 41 in December, isn’t exactly committing to playing next season, but he’s definitely not ruling it out. He and the 3-7 Jets have had their fair share of struggles this season, and returning for another year of losing probably isn’t his preferred way to go out. With eight weeks left in the season, it’s possible Rodgers will see how the rest of the year plays out before making any firm decisions. He’s under contract through the 2025 season and will earn $23.5 million if he does return.

Barmore was placed on the NFI list earlier this offseason after it was revealed he was dealing with blood clots. The fourth-year tackle racked up a career-high 64 tackles last season and also tallied a career-high 8.5 sacks. He could still be a long way from returning to the playing field, but his return to the practice field is an encouraging sign when you consider that many thought he could miss all of the 2024 season when he was initially diagnosed.

Bryant left the Raiders’ Week 9 loss to the Bengals with an ankle injury. He was the direct backup to Brock Bowers with Michael Mayer out, but Bryant starts out not practicing out of the bye. If Bryant cannot go in Week 11 against the Dolphins, Justin Shorter will be the direct backup to Bowers, who will continue to eat targets.

Williams popped up on the practice report with a new foot injury, listed as a non-participant for Wednesday. He has 2.5 sacks starting eight games on the Seahawks’ defensive line this season. LB Boye Mafe (knee) was limited in practice as the Seahawks get out of the bye trying to get their defense healthy.

Fant begins the week not participating, a sign his groin injury still needs time to heal. Prior to the team’s Week 10 bye, head coach Mike Macdonald had said Fant would need some time before returning, indicating he will miss Week 11 and potentially more time. The Seahawks don’t have many fantasy-serious options at tight end without Fant, and his groin injury makes Fant expendable in shallower leagues.

Brown did not practice to begin the week after head coach Zac Taylor called him day-to-day on Monday. He participated in the Monday walkthrough, but is officially a non-participant for Wednesday after missing the last two games for the Bengals. LB Joe Bachie (hip), DT B.J. Hill (knee), and WR Charlie Jones (groin) were also non-participants on the Bengals’ Wednesday practice report.

Mack played through the groin issue last week but was barely on the field, logging four snaps on defense with no other stats to his name. He was listed as questionable for the contest after being held out of all three practice sessions. Mack will need to get in at least a limited session before we can count on him a anything other than an emergency option. The stud EDGE has 4.5 sacks and five TFLs this year.

This isn’t much of a surprise as Edwards is coming off his first game in over a month because of the ankle issue. He was activated from injured reserve over the weekend and ran 10 times for 55 yards. His practice reps will be limited this week as he and the Chargers prepare to take on the Bengals. Edwards will flirt with an RB3 ranking versus a soft Cincinnati run defense.

Jones left Week 10 with the rib issue and was listed as questionable to return. He eventually did so and head coach Kevin O’Connell told reporters on Monday that he expects Jones to play this week. A limited practice on Wednesday keeps him on track to suit up. Jones has taken over the backfield in recent weeks with at least 17 carries in each of his past three games. Even if the Vikings give a few of his attempts to Cam Akers because of the rib issue, Jones has secured his spot in the RB2 ranks for Week 11.

Darnold’s play has been spiraling over the past month and the last thing he needs is an injury to his throwing hand. Though there’s been no indication that this is a serious issue, it’s now on the growing list of concerns surrounding Darnold’s performance. Facing a tough Titans defense this week, Darnold will fall into the QB2 ranks for Week 11.
