Forrest played extensively throughout the preseason, which was a bad sign. He registered four tackles for his efforts. Forrest will likely sign onto a practice squad, if not an active roster elsewhere.

ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported over the weekend that Collins had a “decent chance” to return in Week 4. Even a limited practice today is a big step in the right direction. The winless Texans desperately need a playmaker on offense and Collins is their only option. While he could be on a pitch count in his first game back, Collins has to be in fantasy lineups the moment he is cleared to play.

Hensley noted that Jackson spoke to the media before practice and talked as if he was good to go for Week 4, so this might be nothing. Jackson threw a dart to Zay Flowers on the Ravens’ final offensive play of Week 3, so he appeared fine the last time he was on the field. We will get more info when the team’s first injury report of the week drops later today. Tyler Huntley is Baltimore’s backup.

It’s his first practice since suffering the groin injury in Week 1. Aaron Glenn told reporters he will be listed as limited and noted that he has a good chance of playing on Sunday. Fitzpatrick isn’t the superstar he once was, but his return will still provide a small boost to the team’s secondary.

Simmons hasn’t played or practiced this year. Reid told reporters that he was making progress but will remain out of practice today. Kahlil Benson will presumably draw another start at left tackle in Week 4.

Neither did Tyjae Spears, who is also dealing with an ankle issue. Both backs played through their injuries last week and head coach Robert Saleh said today that he isn’t concerned about either of them missing Week 4. The Titans held them out of last Wednesday’s practice as well, so this seems to be the new norm for the backfield tandem. Pollard remains a volume-based RB3 after seeing 21 touches last week. Spears is nothing more than a backup right now.

We don’t know exactly what the issue is yet, but Sadiq hit the ground hard on his diving touchdown grab versus the Lions. He was slow to get up and grabbed his abdomen before slowly walking off the field. Sadiq eventually returned and was highly productive during the second half, so it doesn’t appear to be a major concern for Week 4. He is on the TE1/2 borderline, with both Mason Taylor and Adonai Mitchell looking unlikely to suit up this week.

Taylor missed Week 3 with the thumb issue and is currently considered week-to-week. A DNP today puts him on the wrong side of questionable for Week 4. Assuming he is out, Kenyon Sadiq, coming off a breakout performance versus the Lions, will be in line for a larger role once again.

Reed suffered the neck injury in Week 1. The injury-plagued wideout will miss the rest of the year and could have a long way back to full health. It’s a difficult situation for a talented pass catcher. Reed’s absence has meant more snaps and routes for Tucker Kraft, who profiles as a top-12 tight end going forward.

Mitchell hurt his finger late last week and missed New York’s Week 3 game against the Lions. He could miss their Week 4 tilt against the Bears too. With Mitchell sidelined last week, Garrett Wilson had a dominant 49 percent air yards share to go along with 13 targets. Kenyon Sadiq, who had eight targets in Week 3, would once again be viable if Mitchell is sidelined in Week 4.

Hall went down with a quad injury on Sunday against the Lions and did not return to the game. Braelon Allen took over as the Jets’ lead back, a role he’ll likely continue to occupy in Week 4 against the Bears’ gettable rush defense if Hall is sidelined. Allen should be rostered in all leagues and could be a top-20 option in Week 4.
