Hall’s knee issue, which kept him sidelined last week against the Dolphins, remains a major issue as the Jets prepare for a meaningless Week 15 game against the Jaguars. It would hardly be a surprise if Hall was shut down with the Jets eliminated from postseason contention. Braelon Allen and Isaiah Davis split the New York backfield workload both as rushers and pass catchers in Week 14 against Miami. They would both be RB3 options against Jacksonville if Hall is sidelined. Hall did not practice on Wednesday.

Holland, the team’s top safety, and Greg Newsome (concussion), the team’s top cornerback, were both sidelined today. Giants LB Tremaine Edmunds (shoulder) was also sidelined. The Giants are tasked with containing a Texans’ passing offense that ties for the league lead in explosive pass plays this week.

The Packers held a walkthrough today, so Watson’s status is only an estimate from the team. Given his lengthy injury history, fantasy managers should keep an eye on Green Bay’s injury report tomorrow, though we suspect this isn’t a major issue for Watson. Assuming he gets up to a full practice at some point this week, Watson will be a borderline WR1 for Week 7 versus Detroit.

A limited session this early in the week is usually nothing to worry about. After racking up another 100-yard game on Sunday, this time on 13 targets, Golden could use a little rest at practice. He was working his way into the WR1 ranks already, and a shootout with the Lions all but guarantees him a spot in the top 12 this week.

This is probably just a maintenance day for the Browns’ linebacker. Schwesinger resumed practicing last Friday and ended up playing in Week 6 against the Ravens. We expect to see him resume practicing tomorrow. The Browns face the Titans in Week 7. Browns DT Mason Graham (knee/ankle) was limited.

Wednesday’s session was a walkthrough, so this is just an estimate from the team. We don’t believe it will be much of an issue for Love in Week 7. Barring a setback, Love will remain in the QB1 mix for a likely shootout with the Lions on Sunday.

Browns coach Todd Monken indicated earlier today that Sampson has a chance to return from injured reserve in time to face the Titans on Sunday. The Browns’ skill position corps is banged up and could use an explosive player. Sampson might end up warranting FLEX treatment right off the bat, if he is active this week.

Earlier today, Browns coach Todd Monken said he was “optimistic” about Judkins’ availability for Week 7 against the Titans. Today’s limited session puts him on track to play, though it would be nice to see him practice in full. If active, he would be a FLEX starter.

Kyle Shanahan told reporters he’s hopeful Bosa returns to practice tomorrow. The oft-injured pass-rusher hasn’t played since Week 2. Even if he does practice on Thursday, there’s no guarantee that will get him back on the field for Sunday’s game against the Falcons.

The rookie wide receiver has been awfully banged up over the past two weeks. He suffered a concussion in Week 5, yet managed to play in Week 6. Unfortunately, he did not leave the contest unscathed, picking up two lower-body injuries. Hopefully, he resumes practicing fully tomorrow.

Boston played through the injury last week, catching just 1-of-5 targets for 15 yards. The foot injury could be bugging him. Fortunately, he did not appear to suffer any setbacks. Boston is a WR3/FLEX against the Titans in Week 7.
