Kevin Dotson is currently in for DeCastro and will play the rest of the game at right guard. Dotson got the start in Week 2 with DeCastro out and also saw a few snaps in Week 1. Pittsburgh may look to continue working their quick passes with DeCastro out of the game for now.

Bills slot CB Dee Alford (ankle) is also questionable. Coach Joe Brady said a week ago that both players avoided long-term injuries. They might actually have a chance to play this week. Stay tuned.

Palmer practiced in a red non-contact jersey on Thursday. Even if he plays this week, he is likely only relevant in single-game DFS tournaments. He mostly provides Josh Allen with another viable target on a couple of plays.

The Athletic’s Joe Buscaglia notes that Moore resumed practicing today after sitting out on Wednesday and Thursday. He did the same thing last week before being labeled questionable and ultimately ruled out on game day. It looks like he’s a game-time decision again this week. If active, he can be started as a WR2, but re-injury remains a risk.

Free agent running backs Ulysses Bentley and Josh Pitsenberger also worked out for the Patriots. TreVeyon Henderson (ankle) is questionable to play in Week 6 against the Jets. Perhaps the Patriots are making backup plans.

No update yet on what was learned, and we may have to wait until next week’s first injury report to learn more. The Seahawks’ young tight end has faced multiple injuries in his short career. Hopefully, this one is not serious.

The Seahawks’ head coach stood by his quarterback today, saying Darnold is “definitely part of the solution” to the offense’s recent struggles. Darnold returned somewhat quickly from a glute tendon strain a couple of weeks ago. One wonders if he is still rounding back into form following the early-season ailment. Backup Drew Lock played well in his stead, but the Seahawks believe their Super Bowl-winning quarterback should keep his job. That makes sense to us. He’s a QB2 next week against the Chiefs.

He got in a limited session and the Rams apparently trust him to play despite a pair of missed practices on Wednesday and Thursday. Colby Parkinson (shoulder) also avoided the final report. Tyler Higbee is the Rams tight end you should be using at this point.

The Lions lose one of their top backup offensive lineman and LB Devin White (forearm) to injured reserve. Lions coach Dan Campbell told reporters post-game last week that White would likely require surgery.

It was a pop-up DNP for Baker on Friday after he had initially been listed as NIR-Rest on Wednesday. Ominous. Baker stands a real chance at missing Sunday’s game and throwing the Cardinals defense into (checking notes) further chaos against the Rams.

Given how Downs’ season is going, it’s hard to believe he’s going to do much with the extra runway, but Tyler Warren (groin) popping up on the report could shift more targets to Downs and Keenan Allen on Sunday against the Titans.
