    Lamar Jackson (back) was limited in Wednesday’s practice.

    Head coach Jesse Minter said after practice that Jackson was dealing with “something small.” Both his comments and the limited status suggest this is nothing more than a minor issue, though a full practice tomorrow would undoubtedly ease the minds of Ravens fans and fantasy managers. Barring a setback, Jackson will remain a top-end QB1 for his Week 4 date with the Titans.

    Here’s what happened: Ravens head coach Jesse Minter spoke and said the team is still “working through” whether Jackson would play on Sunday, and then the team took the unusual step of having both Jackson and Tyler Huntley talk to the media. Jackson also said he doesn’t need to be 100% to play and clarified that he had a high-ankle sprain. Jackson officially draw a questionable tag after a limited Friday session. Reading between the lines, the fact that Huntley spoke probably sets us up nicely for a rug pull, but Jackson-reliant fantasy managers will probably be waiting until inactives on Sunday before they know for sure.

    This makes three straight practices for Jackson, who continues to trend in the right direction ahead of Week 7’s game against the Bengals. Jackson was listed as a limited participant in each of the first two practices to start the week and should have a good chance of suiting up, even if he’s only listed as a limited participant. We will provide an update on his official status when the team announces it, but this is yet another encouraging sign for the two-time MVP.
  • BAL Quarterback #8
    After a weird limited session on Wednesday where he wasn’t out in front of the media, Jackson practiced today in full view of reporters, who noted that he was not favoring his ankle at all. Jackson’s injury has always felt tenuous, but even if Wednesday was sort of an aberration, he has to at least be considered to be moving towards playing. Friday’s status will tell the rest of the story. He was officially limited again today. We expect him to at least be questionable after practicing the first two days of the week.
  • BAL Quarterback #8
    Jackson was not spotted during the portion of practice open to the media but apparently participated in some capacity later in the session. It’s a step in the right direction, but Jackson likely still has several hurdles to clear before returning to action. Despite Minter’s comments, we expect Jackson to miss another week. Tyler Huntley will draw the start versus Cincinnati if Jackson is ruled out.
  • BAL Quarterback #8
    Jackson will go down as a DNP when the Ravens drop their first official injury report of the week. He hasn’t practiced since suffering an ankle injury in Week 4. Head coach Jesse Minter insisted earlier this week that Jackson was making progress, but we doubt it’s enough to get him back on the field for Week 7. Tyler Huntley appears to be the favorite to start against the Bengals.
  • BAL Quarterback #8
    When asked if Jackson’s ankle has improved over the last two weeks, Minter offered up a resounding “yes.” Jackson missed a second straight game in Week 6’s loss to the Browns, despite reports earlier in the week that said he nearly played in Week 5 against the Falcons. We’ve seen injuries linger in the past for Jackson, whose team fell to 4-2 on the season and is now preparing to face another division rival in the Bengals next week. Jackson, who is considered day-to-day, did not get on the practice field in any capacity last week, so even a few limited sessions would be an upgrade as far as his Week 7 availability is concerned.
  • BAL Quarterback #8
    The Ravens didn’t have any players listed as questionable entering the weekend, so all of these players are either healthy scratches or were ruled out before Sunday. The Ravens will start Tyler Huntley for the second consecutive week as Jackson continues to recover from the ankle injury he suffered in Week 4 against the Titans.
  • BAL Quarterback #8
    Jackson will miss a second straight game with his ankle injury despite reports at the beginning of the week that said he had a “realistic” chance to play in Week 6. It was also reported after the team’s overtime win against the Falcons that Lamar was “closer than people realized” to playing in Week 5. Jackson and the Ravens will now set their sights on having him ready to go in Week 7 at home against the Bengals, while Tyler Huntley will draw the start this week against the Browns.
  • BAL Quarterback #8
    All signs are pointing to Tyler Huntley making his second straight start. Jackson was a DNP for all three practices this week and will likely be ruled out in the next few hours, meaning Huntley will have a chance at a “revenge game” against a Browns team that he spent part of the 2024 and 2025 seasons with. Huntley threw for 201-2-0 in last week’s win over the Falcons and rushed for another 20 yards and one touchdown. He’ll have some appeal in 2QB and Superflex leagues on the road against the Browns.
  • BAL Quarterback #8
    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.

    Sam LaPorta said he wants to continue playing for the Lions long-term.

    Earlier this week, LaPorta expressed frustration in an interview about his contract negotiations stalling in-season. The Athletic’s Colton Pouncy asked him a few follow-up questions today on the matter today, and LaPorta made clear that he hopes to remain a Lion long-term and is excited about the prospect of raising a family in Detroit. LaPorta seemed extremely earnest, saying he felt bad about his comments potentially causing a distraction for his team, but he knows his teammates care for him and want him to be happy and compensated. He handled the issue well and appears to be ready to play hard for a lucrative contract extension, which is good news for fantasy managers. LaPorta is a locked-in TE1 against the Packers this week.

    Jevón Holland (concussion) is questionable to play in Week 7 against the Texans.

    Holland, the Giants’ starting free safety, and Tyler Nubin (neck), the Giants’ starting strong safety, are both questionable to play. Meanwhile, starting perimeter CB Greg Newsome (concussion) has been ruled out. Expect the Texans’ passing offense to stay hot this week.

    Rashid Shaheed (hip) is not on the Seahawks’ final injury report and will play in Week 7 against the Chiefs.

    The Seahawks’ sporadic producer will be on the field against the Chiefs this week. Shaheed has been involved as a receiver and as a rusher, scoring touchdowns in consecutive weeks. He offers a low floor, but he makes for a viable FLEX starter this week.

    CJ Donaldson (shoulder) was removed from the injury report and will play in Week 7 against the Steelers.

    Donaldson is the third member of the Saints’ backfield committee. While he will get a few touches this week, he is not getting enough work for fantasy relevance.

    Landon Dickerson (knee/pectoral) was limited on Friday.

    Dickerson injured a pectoral muscle on Thursday, complicating his knee-related return from injured reserve. He is firmly in the questionable camp at this time. Eagles C Drew Kendall (knee) was upgraded to full participation.

    Saquon Barkley (hamstring) was limited on Friday.

    We had really hoped to see Barkley practice in full today. He still has a chance to take the field when the Eagles face the Cowboys in Week 7’s Monday Night Football game, but he is inching toward a questionable designation right now. Upgrading to full tomorrow would increase his odds of playing.

    Dontayvion Wicks (ankle) did not practice on Friday.

    Wicks has been banged up for weeks, and the Philadelphia Inquirer’s Jeff McLane said Wicks might miss the Eagles’ Week 7 game against the Cowboys. Hopefully, he resumes practicing tomorrow. Stay tuned.

    Dallas Goedert (knee) did not practice on Friday.

    Goedert is on the wrong side of questionable for the Eagles’ Week 7 Monday Night Football game against the Cowboys. The Philadelphia Inquirer’s Jeff McLane reports that as of Thursday, there was “optimism” about Goedert’s Week 7 availability. Hopefully, he resumes practicing tomorrow.

    The Philadelphia Inquirer’s Jeff McLane said he got “the sense” that DeVonta Smith (hamstring) will not play in Week 7 against the Cowboys.

    Like Thursday, Smith was sidelined for Friday’s practice. The Eagles have been managing his practice reps and pulled him out for multiple drives in their Week 6 loss to the Panthers. The Eagles face the Cowboys on Monday night, giving Smith an extra day to rest. Consider him highly questionable to play at this time. McLane adds that Dontayvion Wicks (ankle) could also sit out this week.

    Kendal Daniels (neck) is questionable to play in Week 7 against the 49ers.

    Daniels was taken off the field on a stretcher last week, but managed to practice in full to begin the week. Daniels, a rookie, has 23 tackles, three quarterback pressures and one sack this season.
