NFL Player News

This is a good sign for a player who was carted off the field and in a walking boot just two days ago. It’s worth noting that Tracy was not practicing with the team, but Stapleton said he “wouldn’t be surprised if Tracy is back at practice next week.” While this is just one reporter’s opinion based on observations, it does appear Tracy’s absence could be short-lived after dodging any concerns of a major injury.

Lattimore dealt with a hip injury all of training camp but managed to play in Week 1 against the Panthers. He lands on the injury report again this week, with a hamstring injury now added to his designation. The 28-year-old continues to be the Saints’ top corner, but Kool-Aid McKinstry will need to step up if Lattimore misses time. Safety Tyrann Mathieu (heel) also missed practice, denting the Saints’ secondary to start the week.

Allen played a handful of snaps in Week 1, seeing one target. He starts out the week as a non-participant, and based on how he ramps up over the next couple of days, Allen could miss Week 2 against the Cardinals. Regardless, Colby Parkinson is the tight end to own from the Rams.

Murray popped up on the injury report, though there had not been previous reports of a knee injury. His inclusion could mean there is something to monitor with his knee, but could also be an administrative inclusion. Until we hear more from Murray or head coach Jonathan Gannon, it is safe to assume Murray is fine and will be good to play Week 2 against the Rams.

Woolen looks to be dealing with a hamstring injury entering Week 2. He got off to a good start in Week 1, snagging an interception in the Seahawks’ Week 1 victory. Fellow cornerback Tre Brown (quadricep) was also limited in Wednesday’s practice, though there is no concern yet for the Seahawks secondary. Barring additional news on either player’s injury being worse than initially seen, Woolen and Brown are in good shape to play Week 2 against the Pats.

Fant dealt with the toe injury throughout preseason, but was removed from the injury report heading into Week 1. It seems he is still limited due to the injury and practices later in the week will tell how healthy Fant is for Week 2. Fellow tight end Pharaoh Brown (foot) was also limited, leaving the Seahawks’ tight end room a little shallow to begin the week.

Lockett was limited in last week’s practice and played through the questionable tag in Week 1. The thigh injury hardly seemed to be a factor and though Lockett starts out Week 2 limited, expect him to be ready to play the Patriots as a fantasy WR3/4.

Nwosu missed Week 1 with an MCL sprain and is expected to miss further time. LB Tyrel Dodson (shoulder) also did not practice, while Jerome Baker and Dre’Mont Jones were limited with hamstring issues. The Seahawks’ linebacking corps looks thinner with the injuries stacking up and Mike Macdonald’s defense hopes to get healthier later in the week for a Week 2 Patriots opponent featuring a bell cow running back in Rhamondre Stevenson.

Walker left in the final minutes of the Seahawks’ Week 1 victory over the Broncos, but told reporters after that he was feeling good. He now starts out Week 2 as a non-participant in practice, attributed to an oblique injury. If Walker can practice later in the week, it would be good news for his Week 2 status, but if he cannot, Zach Charbonnet is bumped up to RB2 upside against the Patriots.

Gibson came into Week 1 with the hip injury and wound up playing to the tune of seven carries for 18 yards. He starts out the week limited, but given he played in Week 1, there is little reason to be concerned for his Week 2 status just yet. Starting RB Rhamondre Stevenson was listed as limited due to rest while the only Patriot to not participate in practice was OG Sidy Sow (ankle).

Jennings led the 49ers in receiving on Monday, catching five passes for 64 yards. He is the No. 3 wideout, but holds some fantasy value behind Brandon Aiyuk and Deebo Samuel. The 49ers held a light/walkthrough session on Wednesday where Jennings was listed as limited with an ankle injury. Something to monitor throughout the week if Jennings is dealing with a sprain, but he is still set to play in Week 2 as of now.
