Smith was already reported to be working off to the side on Wednesday, but he now adds a toe injury to his existing hamstring injury on the official practice report. Given he is not practicing yet and a new injury is added to his designation, Smith is currently trending in the wrong direction for Week 6 against the Panthers.14 October 2026
Moss missed Week 5 due to a rib injury but has a chance to return Thursday against the Seahawks after three straight limited practices this week. CB Patrick Surtain (ankle) and S Talanoa Hufanga (ankle) did not practice all week and were ruled out, as expected.14 October 2026
Monangai missed Week 5 due to thumb and toe injuries; he did not practice all of last week and was estimated as a non-participant for the Bears’ Wednesday walk-through. A DNP listing after already missing a week is not a good sign for the 24-year-old’s availability. Starter D’Andre Swift (hip) was notably not on the injury report. Monangai will need to practice to have a chance to play but fantasy managers will need to start looking at backup Roschon Johnson as a potential fill-in for Wee ...14 October 2026
Alt missed Week 5 after not practicing last week and opens up Week 6 as a non-participant. Chargers coach Jim Harbaugh said Tuesday that Alt would visit a specialist for his neck injury. G Kayode Awosika (fibula) is also still sidelined. Justin Herbert’s offensive line looks like it will still be missing both players this week; the Chiefs’ defensive line will have a good day against the inexperienced depth that will start for the Chargers.

Greenard missed Week 5 after he failed to practice due to an ankle injury last week. He is back at practice to open this week, getting in a limited session on Wednesday. Greenard has a chance to return for the Eagles’ Week 6 game against the Panthers.14 October 2026
Stowers had his 21-day practice window opened after he started the season on the injured reserve due to hamstring and quad injury. The Eagles also opened fellow TE Grant Calcaterra’s practice window; Calcaterra was also limited due to a back injury. Both have a chance to return Week 6 against the Panthers or Week 7 against the Cowboys.14 October 2026
Charbonnet was already expected to miss Week 6, so no surprise here. The Seahawks also ruled out LB Drake Thomas and LB Chazz Surratt. There are no other players with injury designations heading into Seattle’s Thursday showdown against the Broncos.14 October 2026
Kamara played through the back injury last week but only touched the ball five times. Kendre Miller rushed 10 times and CJ Donaldson led the team in snaps. The Saints are likely managing Kamara’s workload as he deals with this back issue. Kamara is not on the fantasy radar for Week 6.14 October 2026
Wicks suffered the hamstring injury in practice last week but played through the injury in the Eagles’ Week 5 loss to the Jaguars. Also limited was Hollywood Brown (ankle). Brown has not played since suffering an ankle injury in Week 2 but has a chance to return this week. Expect Wicks to play in Week 6 while Brown is truly questionable.14 October 2026
The Titans’ receiving specialist has been an injury report staple thus far, though he has previously been listed with an ankle issue. An early-week limited session puts him on track to play, though he is only relevant in PPR leagues.14 October 2026
This is great news for the Falcons’ offense, which can barely function with Tua Tagovailoa at the helm. Penix is firmly on track to play in Week 6 against the Bears, as long as he gets through the week setback-free. Penix can be viewed as a high-end QB2 with four teams on bye.14 October 2026
The Cardinals are listing Love with just one ankle injury, but recent reports, including quotes from LaFleur, have said that Love is still managing the high-ankle sprain he suffered in the preseason and may have injured the other ankle in Week 4. LaFleur said the current plan is to “give it a little bit of rest and see as the week goes on.” Tyler Allgeier offers little standalone value, but he should be rostered in 12-team leagues.14 October 2026
The Texans are facing the Jaguars in London this week. If Dell travels, that would indicate that Dell has a chance to play for the first time since suffering a multi-ligament tear in 2024. He would be a low-floor FLEX if he is active.14 October 2026
Nixon is the Packers’ top outside corner. He has three pass breakups and one interception this year. His absence would be a big loss for a defense that is only slightly above average in EPA per play and points allowed this year. It would be a particularly big development for George Pickens, who leads the Cowboys in outside receiver routes this year.14 October 2026
The Ravens’ new starting center is still recovering from his recent concussion, but he seemingly has a chance to face the Browns this week. Ravens EDGE Trey Hendrickson (finger) and S Kyle Hamilton (stinger) are practicing fully, while RT Roger Rosengarten (knee), OG John Simpson (groin), OG Andrew Vorhees (foot), LT Ronnie Stanley (rest/toe/ankle) and CB Marlon Humphrey (hamstring/calf) were limited.14 October 2026
The Browns acquired Howard from Houston in the offseason. Howard left Week 5 with the knee issue and a DNP today suggests he will miss at least one week. Dawand Jones took his spot in the lineup on Sunday and would presumably draw the start at right tackle if Howard is out.14 October 2026
A limited practice to start the week is usually nothing more than maintenance. Boston should still be a safe bet to suit up on Sunday. The second-round rookie has already cemented himself as an impressive downfield threat with three touchdowns and three catches of 40+ yards. He’s managed several spike weeks despite the Browns’ up-and-down performances on offense. Health permitting, Boston will be a low-end WR3 for Week 6 versus Baltimore.14 October 2026
Mason Graham is expected to miss multiple weeks with an ankle injury of his own and Maliek Collins missed today’s practice with a foot injury. That’s three front-seven starters potentially out for Week 6. With Lamar Jackson still banged up, expect the Ravens to give Derrick Henry all the touches he can handle this week.14 October 2026
Typically, rest days are entirely inconsequential. Recently, the Colts listed Keenan Allen with a rest designation on Wednesday. He picked up a groin injury during the practice week, and although they added the groin injury to the injury report, they kept the rest designation on there as well. He didn’t play. Downs could end up being perfectly fine, but given the Colts’ recent handling of a similar situation, his participation levels on Thursday and Friday are worth monitoring.14 October 2026
Lamb played through a quad bruise last week but exacerbated the issue and left the game late in the fourth quarter. The injury is not believed to be serious and a full practice today means Lamb isn’t at risk of missing Week 6. Despite burning fantasy managers with two catches for nine yards last time around, Lamb remains one of the best fantasy football wideouts in play this week.
