Ruggs crashed his sports car while under the influence and driving at speeds of up to 156 miles per hour. The incident occurred in November of 2021 and tragically took the life of a 23-year-old woman. His sentence is for three to ten years.

Henderson missed practice Thursday with an illness, ultimately drawing the questionable tag for the team’s Week 8 divisional clash with the Dolphins. That places fantasy managers in a precarious position considering the team plays in the afternoon portion of the Sunday slate. It would be prudent to make alternate plans at FLEX.

He’ll get cleared off Arizona’s injury report later today. Wilson is in a nice spot in one of the games with the highest over/under total on the slate against Dallas, but may run into Joey Porter Jr. shadow coverage. Still, even with how things have trended of late, this feels like a spot where Wilson has to be started in the majority of leagues.

Moore has practiced with a non-contact jersey on, in a limited fashion, both of the first two days of the practice week after coming off bye. This isn’t exactly an exciting run-out after the bye, but Moore probably is on the optimistic side of questionable and any fantasy player that is breathing should be elevated in a game projected to have Josh Allen and Lamar Jackson at quarterback.

Kincaid was limited in both of the first two practices this week. We’d imagine he’s on the optimistic side of questionable, though it’s not altogether great news that he wound up on the questionable line after a bye week to heal up. Kincaid will have to be started if active in what projects as a scoring bonanza against the Ravens.

After missing the last two games with an ankle injury, Love will return to the Cardinals in what could be a three-way split after the recent emergence of Bam Knight. Love was averaging 16.2 opportunities per game before being sidelined, with most of that work coming on the ground. With only two top-24 PPR performances to his name so far this season, he shouldn’t be viewed as anything more than a boom-or-bust RB2 against the Cowboys.

“We do think we will have Lamar this game,” Minter said. Jackson practiced in full on Friday and has missed the last three weeks with his high-ankle sprain. The Ravens will likely clear him from the injury report later today. Jackson told reporters that he feels like “I’m no longer a statue.” Jackson will be “safe” to use as a QB1 against the Bills in what profiles as a fantasy points bonanza.

“He’s done everything that we have asked, everything that he has been allowed to do, he’s done a great job,” Stefanski said while saying that Pearce would play in Madrid against the Bengals. Pearce was suspended after violating the league’s personal conduct policy for three felonies and one misdemeanor for his role in a car chase with ex-girlfriend, WNBA player Rickea Jackson. Pearce’s felony charges were aggravated battery with a deadly weapon, fleeing and eluding police and resisting an officer with violence to his or her person.

Howard returned to the practice field Friday after missing both sessions to start the week, keeping the door open for him to clear concussion protocol in time for Sunday’s game against the Steelers. Howard will need to remain asymptomatic and gain clearance from an independent neurologist to play.

Gardner missed last week’s game after suffering a calf strain in Week 6 against the Titans, but will return after getting in a limited session on Wednesday and a full practice on Thursday. We’re assuming that means he’s in line for another full practice today.

Like teammate Divine Deablo, Bowman returned to the practice field Thursday with a limited showing after missing the Week 7 win over the 49ers. The team gives him the questionable designation for Week 8 against the Buccaneers, keeping the door open for a return following one missed game. We’ll gain further clarity when the team released inactives 90-minutes prior to first kick on Sunday.
