Granger will revert to the Panthers’ injured reserve list if he goes unclaimed on waivers, as will fellow UDFA Popo Aumavae. The Panthers also waived WR T.J. Luther, OL Andrew Raym and DT Jerrod Clark. They released WR Dax Milne.

Still, back-to-back practices are a good sign that Dulcich will be ready to go for Week 8’s game against the Patriots. That isn’t necessarily an endorsement of using him in fantasy football — even after last week’s surprise 5/86 against the Jets — but hey, the Dolphins will be glad he’s around.

The return to practice comes on the heels of a missed practice Wednesday for the veteran workhorse, immediately putting fantasy managers at ease for Week 8. Managers will want to confirm his practice status Friday before making final preparations for the weekend, but it certainly appears as if Gibbs will be good to go for a normal, and massive, workload when the Lions take the field against the division rival Vikings.

Back-to-back limited sessions probably leave Washington in a good spot for Week 8. He’s more likely than not to be cleared off the injury report on Friday as long as there’s not a sudden downgrade.

Illnesses typically don’t hold back NFL players, so we’d be surprised if Henderson missed time, but it is worth noting that it was a Thursday addition to the report. Because of that, if he missed Friday, it wouldn’t be surprising if he was listed as questionable. We’d still expect him to play either way.

The upgrade from “DNP” to a full session indicates St. Brown will be fine for a normal workload when the Lions face off against the Vikings Sunday, easing fantasy managers’ collective minds after the star receiver was not present at practice Wednesday. Fantasy managers will want to confirm his status on Friday’s injury report, but it certainly appears as if the team will have their veteran alpha for the divisional tilt.

Meyers has put together a pair of limited sessions out of the bye and seems likely to play against the Colts in Week 8. Brian Thomas Jr.'s disappearing act has left Meyers capable of putting up WR3 lines, but the Colts may not be opponent enough to force that kind of production out of Meyers this week.

Adebawore, a fourth-round pick in 2023, played under 200 snaps in each of his first two seasons and was a pass-rush specialist in 2025. In 2026, he’s taken a step forward, with an 81.8 PFF grade buoyed by an 86.3 pass rush grade. It would be reasonable to expect the Colts to try to extend a player like this, but they sure didn’t seem to have any urgency to do it before the year.

It was his second consecutive limited showing following two missed games, with his level of activity Friday likely to be telling as it pertains to a potential return in Week 8. Warren’s absence has been felt hard by a Colts offense that has struggled to move the football consistently. He would likely return to a sizable role over the middle of the field against the pass-funnel Jaguars, if active in Week 8.

Jones was forced from the team’s Week 7 win over the Colts due to an aggravation of an existing knee injury. The fact he was able to return to the practice field in any capacity after missing Wednesday’s session is good news for his potential availability against the Lions. We would expect him to form a loose committee with Jordan Mason, if active Sunday. Fantasy managers will want to confirm his level of participation Friday.

He played last week just fine, so it seems like he was just given a bit of a breather on Wednesday during a limited session. Sampson should handle 5-10 touches for the Browns on Sunday against the Steelers.
