Grant was recently cleared to return to game action after working his way back from a torn Achilles suffered last season and was in line to serve as the primary punt returner for the Browns in the coming season. No update has been provided but it looks as if Grant is likely to miss time in 2023.

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.

Godwin should be expected to play in Week 4 against the Packers at this point, although he has mostly underperformed thus far. Buccaneers OC Zac Robinson said earlier that Godwin Jr. “is a stud and will continue to do his thing. The ball will find him.” That might be harder than one imagines with an undrafted free agent rookie at quarterback.

The Buccaneers’ starting running back is on track to play, but consecutive limited sessions suggest this isn’t something that can simply be written off right now. Irving missed time in the fourth quarter last week with the injury. Earlier today, OC Zac Robinson indicated that the team would like to get RB2 Kenny Gainwell and RB3 Sean Tucker more involved. He cited game flow and poor production as the reasons for Gainwell’s minimal involvement. Neither aspect is guaranteed to change, and the game scripts have already been falling in Gainwell’s favor. Tucker’s range of outcomes might be wider. Regardless, Irving remains the starter and should play in Week 4 against the Packers.

It’s his first full practice since the leadup to Week 1 and paints a rosy picture for Flowers stepping in as a fantasy WR1 with no limitations on his snap count against the Titans. Flowers may clear the injury report entirely on Friday.

NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport mentioned in a hit earlier today that Jackson might continue to be eased up on in practice per his preference throughout the season, so don’t get too concerned if this keeps popping up. It seems like there’s no real doubt he’ll play against the Titans on Sunday.

No real surprises here; Meyers has played through this thumb listing in two consecutive weeks and will likely be removed from the injury report on Friday.

49ers coach Kyle Shanahan said earlier this week that Williams was expected to resume practicing today. The fact that he is on track is a good sign for his Week 4 availability. 49ers LB Dre Greenlaw (bruised quad) is still sidelined.
