    Stick was released by the Colts at the end of the preseason. He’ll be third on the depth chart to begin the year behind Baker Mayfield and Jalon Daniels.
  • FA Quarterback #16
    Per NewOrleans.Football’s Nick Underhill, Easton Stick will also have a tryout during mincamp. Trask re-signed with the Bucs last offseason but failed to crack the roster at the end of training camp. He later joined the Falcons’ practice squad. The Saints currently have Spencer Rattler and Zach Wilson as options to back up Tyler Shough.
  • FA Wide Receiver #80
    The Falcons also waived TE Joshua Simon, OL Joshua Gray, WR Dylan Drummond, CB Dontae Manning, DL Simeon Barrow Jr., RB Carlos Washington Jr., CB Cobee Bryant, K Lenny Krieg, RB Elijah Dotson, TE Nikola Kalinic, WR Quincy Skinner Jr. and S Josh Thompson. The Falcons released OL Jordan Williams, S Henry Black, S Jordan Fuller, EDGE Khalid Kareem, OL Brandon Parker, QB Easton Stick, DL Kentavius Street, CB Keith Taylor, OL Jake Hanson, CB CJ Henderson, LB/S Ronnie Harrison, WR Chris Blair, OL Matthew Cindric, QB Ben DiNucci, DL Morgan Fox, LB Caleb Johnson, CB Lamar Jackson, LB Nick Kubitz, WR Jesse Matthews and EDGE Ronnie Perkins.
  • ATL Quarterback #2
    Stick is a former fifth-round pick who has seen action in six games since entering the league in 2019. Sporting a 0-4 record as a starter, Stick has a career passing line of 1,133-3-1 and has rushed 28 times for 142 yards and one touchdown. He’s a dual-threat quarterback who excelled in the college ranks while playing for North Dakota State, but Stick has never been anything more than a low-end backup for his career. He’ll have a chance to compete for a spot on the Falcons’ 53-man roster in camp, but he could be on the outside looking in depending on who else the Falcons add in the coming weeks.
  • LAC Tight End #88
    Hurt will be playing for the first time since the end of November after being placed on injured reserve with his hip injury He isn’t likely to be a major fantasy contributor, but with Will Dissly (shoulder) inactive, it could open up some snaps/targets. The remaining inactives for the Chargers are CB Cam Hart S Elijah Molden LB Shaquille Quarterman OL Brenden Jaimes OL Jordan McFadden and QB Easton Stick (emergency QB)
  • LAC Quarterback #10
    Schefter noted that the team hasn’t made a final decision on his status yet and that won’t happen until pre-game warmups. Herbert suffered a high-ankle sprain in the Chargers Week 2 win over the Panthers. He logged a limited practice on Thursday but was listed as a DNP for the other two sessions of the week. Herbert has a chance to play but remains a true game-time call. Fantasy managers need to have a backup plan in place and it shouldn’t be another LA quarterback. Per Schefter, “The team has contingencies that involve both Easton Stick and Taylor Heinicke.”
  • LAC Quarterback #10
    Herbert told reporters he suffered a high-ankle sprain in the Chargers’ Week 2 win over the Panthers. Few players play through that injury without missing any time, so it looks like Herbert is going to be a true game-time call for Week 3. Per The Athletic’s Daniel Popper, Herbert did not practice on Friday before being listed as questionable. He was a limited participant in Thursday’s session. Jim Harbaugh wouldn’t say who will draw the start if Herbert can’t play. The Chargers have Taylor Heinicke and Easton Stick on the active roster. Either way, LA projects to lead the league in rush attempts versus a Steelers team that wants to play the same game.
  • LAC Quarterback #2
    Drafted in the fifth round of the 2019 NFL Draft, Stick had one career pass attempt heading into 2023. Justin Herbert went down for the season late in the year and Stick stepped in for the first four starts in the league. He went winless in those games but put up a respectable 1,129 yards, three scores, and one interception. Stick will return to LA for QB2 duties in 2024, his age-29 season.
  • LAC Quarterback #2
    Stick, a prodigious rusher in college and a good athlete, finally used his mobility in the season’s final game. He picked up a few chunk gains in the first half before dropping back to pass in most of the second half. Stick, 28, got four starts this season after Justin Herbert went down with a season-ending finger injury. He struggled mightily through most of those games, throwing three touchdowns and one interception. Stick will be a free agent this offseason.
  • LAC Quarterback #2
    Stick led just three field goal drives on a night the Chargers were without Justin Herbert, Keenan Allen, Mike Williams, and Joshua Palmer. The loss drops the Chargers to 5-11 as they limp towards the end of the 2023 regular season, after which they will start their search for a new head coach after former head coach Brandon Staley was fired half way through his third season with the team. Stick has one more start on tap which will come at home against the Chiefs in Week 18.

    Cardinals RB Jeremiyah Love (ankle) was limited in Wednesday’s practice.

    Head coach Mike LaFleur said earlier Wednesday that Love would have “no limit.” However, the rookie was indeed listed as limited for Wednesday’s practice report, likely as a formality. The ankle injury may limit him and prop up Tyler Allgeier for some work to open the year but the 21-year-old is a high-end RB2 for the full season. Love is trending in the right direction to play Week 1 against the Chargers.

    Rams EDGE Myles Garrett (knee) was a full participant in Wednesday’s practice.

    As expected, Garrett gets in a full practice ahead of the Rams’ Week 1 Australia matchup against the 49ers. He did not practice Tuesday but it was likely a load management day for the star pass-rusher’s knee. Expect more of these kinds of practice weeks from Garrett moving forward; he is good to go for Week 1.

    Raiders RB Ashton Jeanty (ankle) is practicing in full for Week 1 against the Dolphins.

    This is great news. Raiders coach Klint Kubiak told reporters earlier today that Jeanty would resume practicing today, however, we assumed it would be a limited session. It turns out Jeanty is already good to go. He faces a soft Dolphins defense in Week 1 and can be treated as a fantasy football RB1 even if rookie RB Mike Washington handles a decent workload as his backup/.

    Seahawks S Nick Emmanwori (ankle) is inactive for Week 1 against the Patriots.

    Emmanwori underwent surgery to deal with an ankle issue back in July. Despite some limited practice participation, the 22-year-old is not yet ready to return. With S Ty Okada (hamstring) also out, the Seahawks will lack depth in the back of the secondary for Week 1 against the Patriots.

    Seahawks WR Tory Horton (hamstring) is inactive for Week 1 against the Patriots.

    Horton got in some limited practices earlier this week as he deals with a hamstring injury. He will miss opening week against the Patriots, boosting Rashid Shaheed for some deep targets in Week 1. Also inactive for the Seahawks are S Nick Emmanwori, G Beau Stephens, QB Jalen Milroe, TE Nick Kallerup, S Ty Okada, and DE Mike Morris. Milroe will serve as the emergency third quarterback.

    Patriots RB TreVeyon Henderson (ankle) is inactive for Week 1 against the Seahawks.

    Henderson was ruled out with an ankle injury after not practicing all week. Rhamondre Stevenson will be the workhorse running back for New England, propelling him into the fantasy RB2 conversation. Also inactive for the Patriots are CB Karon Prunty, LB Erick Hunter, OT Walter Rouse, C Ben Brown, WR Efton Chism, and QB Behren Morton.

    49ers TE George Kittle (Achilles) was limited in Wednesday’s practice.

    Kittle gets in another limited practice ahead of the 49ers’ Week 1 Australia game against the Rams. We expect him to continue to get limited practices in beyond this week as the 32-year-old nurses his Achilles. Also limited was FB Kyle Juszczyk (finger). Both are still in line to play this week.

    Eagles TE Eli Stowers (hamstring) was limited in Wednesday’s practice.

    Stowers has been dealing with a hamstring injury he suffered in the preseason and he opens Week 1 with a limited practice. The 23-year-old rookie was already in line for a limited role this season after a subpar training camp but now may be limited even further with a soft tissue injury. Stowers is off fantasy radars in redraft leagues but his absence propels Dallas Goedert into borderline top-10 tight end territory.

    Bears QB Tyson Bagent (back) did not participate in Wednesday’s practice.

    Bagent popped up on the injury report with a back issue to open the week. He previously dealt with a hamstring issue but this appears to be a new injury. It’s unclear if the back will keep Bagent out of Week 1 just yet, but Case Keenum will step up at backup quarterback if he misses time.

    Keaton Mitchell (hamstring) was limited in Wednesday’s practice.

    Mitchell went down with the hamstring injury late in camp but returned to practice earlier this week. The team will likely keep his workload light in practice and on Sunday. Omarion Hampton remains the clear lead back in LA, with Mitchell mixing in for some designed touches. He will be an RB4 for his first game as a Charger.
