Peprah received a $50,000 workout bonus in the spring and was due only $1 million in base salary. The move is a big surprise on the first day of training camp, although Peprah missed all of OTA season with knee woes and might not have been healthy. A 14-game starter in 2011, Peprah intercepted five passes and recorded 94 tackles. The Packers may turn to M.D. Jennings at strong safety, assuming they don’t just move Charles Woodson there full time.

Cross remains sidelined with a high ankle sprain he suffered in Week 7. He is yet to return to practice and therefore is trending towards missing Week 10 against the Raiders; a full practice participation would be needed to feel confident about his chances of playing this week.

Walker suffered a rib injury in practice last week but played through it in the Jaguars’ Week 9 win over the Ravens. He starts out the week not practicing, but this may just be maintenance instead of an aggravation. Walker will need to practice in some fashion later this week, but he is not in jeopardy of missing Week 10 against the Titans just yet.

Rodriguez was limited last week and played through the hand injury in the Jaguars’ Week 9 win over the Ravens. He was limited again to open Week 10 but is still trending to play against the Titans. With Bhayshul Tuten still dealing with ankle and foot injuries, Rodriguez is a good bet to split touches this week and achieve FLEX value against a weak Titans defense.

Meyers was listed with hamstring and ankle injuries last week, but played through them in the Jaguars’ Week 9 win over the Ravens. It is discouraging that he did not practice after a mini-bye, but the good news is that he only has the ankle designation now, no hamstring. Meyers is not yet in jeopardy of missing Week 10, but will need to practice in some fashion for fantasy managers to feel confident about his chances of playing against the Titans.

Tuten was listed as DNP with the same ankle/foot injuries he played through last Thursday. He was clearly limited in the Jaguars’ Week 9 win over the Ravens and it is a bit discouraging that he starts out Week 10 not practicing after a mini-bye. It’s still early in the week, so this may just be injury maintenance for the 23-year-old. A practice later in the week will ease fantasy managers’ concerns, but a split in touches with Chris Rodriguez is certainly on the table again for Week 10 against the Titans.

Froholdt is the Cardinals’ starting center and is trending to miss Week 10 against the Rams as he deals with a concussion. Backup interior offensive lineman Jon Gaines (ankle) also missed practice, leaving the Cardinals’ offensive line depleted with a matchup against Myles Garrett and Aaron Donald coming up this week.

Dawkins did not practice last week due to a rib injury, missing the Bills’ Week 9 win over the Vikings. he returns to practice in a limited fashion to open Week 10, giving him a chance to return against the Jets.

Garrett returned from injured reserve and played in Week 9 against the Commanders. A limited listing indicates the 30-year-old will be managing his practice reps as he ramps back up from the knee injury. Expect Garrett to play in Week 10 against the Cardinals.

Avila aggravated a hamstring injury and starts out the week not practicing. Rams head coach Sean McVay said Monday that Avila will miss some time, but may not go on injured reserve as the Rams are out of return slots. Expect Avila to miss Week 10 against the Cardinals.

Curl played through a foot injury in Week 9 but picked up a toe injury. He starts out the week not practicing but will have a chance to play Week 10 against the Cardinals if he can get a practice in later this week.
