Barkley is firmly on the wrong side of questionable for his team’s Week 6 game against the Panthers, potentially leaving Dameon Pierce, Carson Steele and practice squad player Jaydon Blue to split touches. Hopefully, reports clarify whether Pierce would handle a sizable workload as the de facto starter.15 October 2026
We already knew that Montgomery was considered week-to-week, so this is unsurprising. Woody Marks will start for however long Montgomery is sidelined. The Jaguars field one of the NFL’s best run defenses, but Marks ceded just one snap to Dare Ogunbowale last week. Theoretically, he should remain in a near-full-time role, elevating him to the RB2/FLEX tier despite the tough matchup.15 October 2026
Palmer also clarified that Surtain did not suffer a non-contact injury, as has been reported previously. Surtain apparently injured his ankle two plays before he exited the Broncos’ Week 5 game against the 49ers. The Broncos might be able to get by without Surtain next week, but getting him back before facing Patrick Mahomes would be huge.15 October 2026
Rice strained his hamstring in Week 4. Although Chiefs coach Andy Reid initially said Rice only “tweaked” it, The Athletic’s Mike Silver reported a few hours later that Rice could be out for several weeks. The fact that Rice remains sidelined for the first two practices following his team’s Week 5 bye is a bad sign. He is firmly on the wrong side of questionable for Week 6 against the Chargers. If he can get in a limited session tomorrow, that could put him on track to play in Week 7 ag ...

Jurgens still has a chance to play, but we had hoped to see him upgrade to full participation. Ravens EDGE Mike Green (hamstring) was added to the injury report today as a limited participant. Ravens OG Andrew Vorhees (foot) joins him in the limited column. Ravens RT Roger Rosengarten (knee), LT Ronnie Stanley (rest/toe/ankle) and CB Marlon Humphrey (hamstring/calf) upgraded to full participation. Ravens OG John Simpson (groin) downgraded to a DNP.15 October 2026
It sure seems to be trending in the direction of Jaleel McLaughlin, Lead Back in Week 6 against the Ravens. We’ll see if Judkins can get back on the field or generate any kind of positive momentum on Friday, but we’d be surprised if he did better than a questionable listing.15 October 2026
Jackson still has a chance to face the Browns this week, albeit a very small one. Backup Tyler Huntley will likely be under center for the second week in a row, although coach Jesse Minter said last week that Jackson doesn’t have to practice “much” before being cleared to play. Huntley is a viable QB2 if he gets the start.15 October 2026
Of the (many) Browns in real danger of missing this week’s game against the Ravens, Boston seems to be in the best shape of actually playing. Still, it is two limited sessions in two tries and we wouldn’t be surprised if he wound up with a questionable tag on Friday.15 October 2026
He’s still in concussion protocol, but it looks like he’ll have at least some chance of clearing before Sunday’s game against the Ravens. Concepcion would struggle to be more than a FLEX option here even if healthy, so fantasy managers should probably look at alternatives this week.15 October 2026
This is at least some positive momentum towards being activated and helping the Browns out on Sunday, though even if Sampson was activated he’d likely be in a committee. We’ll see what Friday brings, but unless it’s a full session, we’d be surprised if Sampson was more than a sketchy questionable for Week 6.15 October 2026
Flowers played through a foot injury last week, catching 8-of-9 targets for 53 yards and rushing once for 13 yards. This injury could be related, but we really don’t know. Flowers’ productivity took a hit with Tyler Huntley running the offense last week. Huntley is currently in line to start again, though Lamar Jackson’s (ankle) status is still up in the air. If the toe injury limits Flowers, that further complicates things, but he still must be started if active. Hopefully, he practices ...15 October 2026
It’s good progress after he had a Wednesday DNP. Howard should have a real chance at playing on Sunday as long as his Friday status stays neutral or trends positively.15 October 2026
Bateman played through the shoulder injury last week. He was limited yesterday, but coach Jesse Minter said he wasn’t worried. Downgrading to a DNP is not a good sign. Meanwhile, Ja’Kobi Lane (wrist) is practicing fully this week and could hop right into WR2 duties for the Ravens.15 October 2026
It was a surprising downgrade from Wednesday’s limited session, putting Spears’ status for Week 6 into real question. If he sits, we’re not entirely sure which Titans third-string back would get breather duties. Kalel Mullings, who was a practice squad activation, got the only non-Tony Pollard/Spears snap in Week 5. Nicholas Singleton and Michael Carter are also both on the active roster.15 October 2026
Mooney’s participation puts him on track to face the Saints in Week 6. He does not need to be in 12-team lineups, and his presence, unfortunately, keeps Malachi Fields from potentially playing in a full-time role.15 October 2026
Unlike yesterday, Henderson was spotted at the open portion of practice and appears to be making a real run to play in Week 6. If not for the report that he’d miss multiple weeks with a high-ankle sprain, this would be a pretty clear trend towards Henderson playing. As is, we’ll see what happens on Friday. It sure seems like he’ll hit the questionable line one way or another, but how it looks will be important as far as figuring out his Week 6 status.15 October 2026
Unless we get word that it’s an exceptionally rough illness, we’d expect no worse than a questionable listing on Friday despite the two missed practices. Olave should remain a smash WR1 against the Giants in Week 6.15 October 2026
Kamara played through this injury in Week 5, and it doesn’t seem like he’s in any real danger of missing this one. It would be nice to see a full practice on Friday, but even if we don’t get that, Kamara should be a FLEX consideration for Week 6.15 October 2026
He has been limited twice and doesn’t look close to clearing concussion protocol. It’s become rarer for players to launch a Friday comeback to get off protocol, but it’s not unprecedented. Sadiq looks like he’s on the doubtful side of questionable heading into Friday.15 October 2026
It’s his first full practice since suffering the toe injury. Dowdle looks to be headed for hard-to-trust FLEX territory with Jaylen Warren crushing in his absence and Mike McCarthy (rightfully) saying that Warren deserves the lion’s share of the workload at the moment.
