Connor McGovern (undisclosed) dealing with injury

Pittman was limited yesterday, before no-showing during the portion of practice open to the media today. Typically, that series of events suggests the player suffered an injury during practice. He should be considered questionable to play in Week 2 against the Patriots at this point. Steelers TE Pat Freiermuth could end up being the biggest beneficiary, potentially operating as the team’s No. 2 target earner if Pittman cannot play.

Porter Jr. missed all of training camp with a back injury and then sat out of Week 1 after getting in three limited practices. The team removed his back injury from their report this week, only listing him as limited for conditioning reasons and rest on Wednesday. Mike McCarthy told reporters the plan was for him to do more today. That clearly isn’t happening. It’s unclear if the back issue flared up again or if this is something new. Either way, Porter Jr. appears to be on the wrong side of questionable for Week 2.

Collins suffered a hamstring injury during Wednesday’s practice and his status for Week 2 is now up in the air. NBC Houston’s Aaron Wilson reports it is a grade one hamstring strain. A DNP today is a bad sign for his availability, though the Texans may take things down to the wire given his importance to the team. Fantasy managers should make contingency plans in case Collins is ruled out before Sunday’s game against the Bengals. Xavier Hutchinson and Kayshon Boutte will have some low-end FLEX appeal versus the Bengals if Collins doesn’t suit up.

Carolina waived Horn Jr. earlier this week after he muffed a punt in Week 1. NFL insider Jordan Schultz was first on this news, though he didn’t note whether Horn Jr. will be joining the Browns’ active roster or practice squad. We suspect the latter.

Collins suffered the hamstring injury during yesterday’s practice and immediately met with doctors. The team doesn’t believe the issue is serious, but that’s a cold comfort for a player with an extensive history of soft tissue injuries. Kayshon Boutte and Xavier Hutchinson will take on every-down roles if Collins misses Week 2. Neither player would push past the WR4 fantasy ranks. Second-year wideout Jaylin Noel would also see more work, though the team has been reluctant to play him much so far.

Wood felt calf tightness on Wednesday and was diagnosed with a Grade II calf strain after undergoing tests. The 33-year-old has not missed a game since signing with the Saints in 2017 but is now expected to be out for at least four weeks.

No need to panic after McBride was seen working off to the side Wednesday; the Cardinals listed him as DNP with a rest/back designation. Despite the back being added to the designation, it does not seem like a serious injury worry with the Cardinals also giving him the “resting player” tag. This reads as a rest day for McBride. He is still good to go for Week 2 against the Seahawks.

Emmanwori is still unable to get in a full practice as he nurses a pesky ankle injury, also adding a hip issue to his practice designation. He will likely need a full practice before he is set to return for the Seahawks. Fellow safety Ty Okada (hamstring) missed practice on Wednesday; both players missed Week 1 and are in jeopardy of missing Week 2 against the Cardinals.

Kupp popped up on the injury report with a back issue, though he was listed as a limited participant. The veteran 33-year-old may just be having his practice reps managed as he deals with a back ailment. Barring a change, Kupp is still trending to play Week 2 against the Cardinals.

Horton missed Week 1, dealing with a hamstring injury from training camp. He now finally gets in a full practice, opening Week 2 with a full participation designation. The Seahawks are preparing for the 23-year-old to return against the Cardinals, though Horton is best left off fantasy rosters with Drew Lock the starting quarterback for now.
