Parnell was entering the final year of his contract, and this clears $6 million in cap space for the Jaguars. The soon-to-be 33-year-old (in July) was Pro Football Focus’ No. 51 tackle out of 80 qualifiers last season. He should find another gig but won’t be guaranteed a starting job wherever he lands.

Panthers coach Dave Canales said WR Xavier Legette (knee) is week-to-week, while Coker “is more day-to-day.” Canales adds that the team “has to see Coker move around before he returns to action.” Coker remains firmly in the questionable camp at this time. He might have a chance to play in Week 4 against the Lions, but fantasy managers should make a serious backup plan.

Canales said fellow corner Jaycee Horn faces a similar timeline. He suffered a torn quad in Week 3 but did not need surgery. Both players were placed on injured reserve earlier today. The Panthers will now be without their top two corners for most of the regular season.

Young visited the blue medical tent a couple of times after taking a cleat to the knee in Week 3 against the Browns. He reportedly underwent imaging to assess the injury. We never received an official follow-up report, but he is practicing in full already, so the imaging evidently checked out just fine. After years of frustrating performances, Young is suddenly a low-end QB1 against an injury-impacted Lions pass defense.

The team also placed safety Jalen Thompson (hamstring) on IR. Thompson was already expected to miss at least four weeks, so the move doesn’t come as a surprise. Bullard signed a one-year deal with the Cowboys this offseason. He has three combined tackles and .5 sacks through three games.

Jefferson seemingly has a chance to face the Dolphins in Week 4, but his participation level at Thursday and Friday’s practices should give us a better sense of his availability. If active against the Dolphins, Jefferson would be startable as a WR1 despite the injury. He caught 2-of-2 targets for 32 yards on seven snaps last week before exiting.

Ingram has missed the past two weeks with the groin issue. He should return to the starting lineup in Week 4 if things go well in practice over the next two days. With Nico Collins also getting healthy, the Texans’ offense could finally rebound on Sunday.

ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported over the weekend that Collins had a “decent chance” to return in Week 4. Even a limited practice today is a big step in the right direction. The winless Texans desperately need a playmaker on offense and Collins is their only option. While he could be on a pitch count in his first game back, Collins has to be in fantasy lineups the moment he is cleared to play.

Hensley noted that Jackson spoke to the media before practice and talked as if he was good to go for Week 4, so this might be nothing. Jackson threw a dart to Zay Flowers on the Ravens’ final offensive play of Week 3, so he appeared fine the last time he was on the field. We will get more info when the team’s first injury report of the week drops later today. Tyler Huntley is Baltimore’s backup.

It’s his first practice since suffering the groin injury in Week 1. Aaron Glenn told reporters he will be listed as limited and noted that he has a good chance of playing on Sunday. Fitzpatrick isn’t the superstar he once was, but his return will still provide a small boost to the team’s secondary.

Simmons hasn’t played or practiced this year. Reid told reporters that he was making progress but will remain out of practice today. Kahlil Benson will presumably draw another start at left tackle in Week 4.
