The ex-Steeler was with the Cardinals in 2019 but missed the entire season with a torn ACL. Gilbert’s 2018 in Pittsburgh was plagued by injury and suspension. Gilbert turned 32 last month. All of that is the long way of saying Gilbert probably should not be in the starting mix, but the Cards have one of the league’s weakest tackle groups. At worst, Gilbert will be an experienced swing option.

Hodge has been released with an injury settlement. Per ESPN’s Nick Wagoner, this opens the door for him to return upon healing while also saving a possible short-term injured reserve spot.

Another limited session keeps Collins in the questionable column as he attempts to return from a multi-week hamstring strain. The Texans would surely like to have their star wide receiver back for what could be a back-and-forth game environment against the Cowboys this week, but balancing short-term and long-term needs is critical. Stay tuned.

Both Brown and TE Noah Fant (abdomen) were limited today, putting them tentatively on track to play on Monday night against the Falcons. Neither player belongs in fantasy lineups, but their presence is helpful for QB Tyler Shough.

The Bills’ No. 1 cornerback is on the wrong side of questionable through two Week 4 practices. Fortunately, the Patriots’ wide receiver corps is nothing to write home about.

Moore is again on track to play through his AC joint sprain, though the injury is still limiting him to some degree. Regardless, the Bills face the Patriots this weekend, and CB1 Christian Gonzalez (shoulder) has not yet practiced this week. Moore is a WR2 entering Week 4.

This is unfortunate. McConkey was limited yesterday by a new foot injury. Today’s absence suggests he suffered the injury at Wednesday’s practice. He is firmly in the questionable column at this time. Chargers WR Tre’ Harris has outplayed WR Quentin Johnston thus far, but the Seahawks’ defense is a formidable foe.

The 35-year-old, recently unretired defensive tackle’s back is hurting. He might have a chance to play this week, but his Friday participation level should shed more light on his current state. Stay tuned.

Tyson is currently on injured reserve and will be eligible to join his teammates on the practice field next week. Moore added, “but we shall see” at the end of his statement, making it at least possible for Tyson to resume practicing in Week 5. For now, Week 6 could be more likely. Once activated from injured reserve, Tyson will have a 21-day window to continue rehabbing, if need be.

The Patriots’ rookie tight end has a chance to play this week. He is not yet involved enough to warrant TE1 treatment though.

This is a tough break. The Saints’ high-priced free agent signee will be sidelined for at least four games. Their Week 8 bye makes him eligible to return in Week 9. Veteran RB Alvin Kamara is the next man up, followed by RB Kendre Miller. Both should be rostered in 12-team leagues. Kamara will likely get the first crack at the starting job, but he has struggled to play efficiently this season, and coach Kellen Moore gave RB CJ Donaldson the backfield’s first green zone touch last week.
