The injury comes at a bad time for the 2021 third-rounder with Schwartz on the roster bubble. The Browns also opened their preseason with WR Marquise Goodwin (illness) on the NFI list.

Kamara played through the back injury last week but only touched the ball five times. Kendre Miller rushed 10 times and CJ Donaldson led the team in snaps. The Saints are likely managing Kamara’s workload as he deals with this back issue. Kamara is not on the fantasy radar for Week 6.

This is great news for the Falcons’ offense, which can barely function with Tua Tagovailoa at the helm. Penix is firmly on track to play in Week 6 against the Bears, as long as he gets through the week setback-free. Penix can be viewed as a high-end QB2 with four teams on bye.

The Titans’ receiving specialist has been an injury report staple thus far, though he has previously been listed with an ankle issue. An early-week limited session puts him on track to play, though he is only relevant in PPR leagues.

Nixon is the Packers’ top outside corner. He has three pass breakups and one interception this year. His absence would be a big loss for a defense that is only slightly above average in EPA per play and points allowed this year. It would be a particularly big development for George Pickens, who leads the Cowboys in outside receiver routes this year.

The Texans are facing the Jaguars in London this week. If Dell travels, that would indicate that Dell has a chance to play for the first time since suffering a multi-ligament tear in 2024. He would be a low-floor FLEX if he is active.

The Cardinals are listing Love with just one ankle injury, but recent reports, including quotes from LaFleur, have said that Love is still managing the high-ankle sprain he suffered in the preseason and may have injured the other ankle in Week 4. LaFleur said the current plan is to “give it a little bit of rest and see as the week goes on.” Tyler Allgeier offers little standalone value, but he should be rostered in 12-team leagues.

Mason Graham is expected to miss multiple weeks with an ankle injury of his own and Maliek Collins missed today’s practice with a foot injury. That’s three front-seven starters potentially out for Week 6. With Lamar Jackson still banged up, expect the Ravens to give Derrick Henry all the touches he can handle this week.

A limited practice to start the week is usually nothing more than maintenance. Boston should still be a safe bet to suit up on Sunday. The second-round rookie has already cemented himself as an impressive downfield threat with three touchdowns and three catches of 40+ yards. He’s managed several spike weeks despite the Browns’ up-and-down performances on offense. Health permitting, Boston will be a low-end WR3 for Week 6 versus Baltimore.

The Browns acquired Howard from Houston in the offseason. Howard left Week 5 with the knee issue and a DNP today suggests he will miss at least one week. Dawand Jones took his spot in the lineup on Sunday and would presumably draw the start at right tackle if Howard is out.

The Ravens’ new starting center is still recovering from his recent concussion, but he seemingly has a chance to face the Browns this week. Ravens EDGE Trey Hendrickson (finger) and S Kyle Hamilton (stinger) are practicing fully, while RT Roger Rosengarten (knee), OG John Simpson (groin), OG Andrew Vorhees (foot), LT Ronnie Stanley (rest/toe/ankle) and CB Marlon Humphrey (hamstring/calf) were limited.
