Steelers DT Derrick Harmon (knee) was limited on Thursday.

Harmon could still suit up on Sunday, even if he remains limited tomorrow, but we would expect him to be on a snap count if that is the case. The Steelers need their rookie defensive tackle back badly. Porter remains sidelined by his hamstring injury and does not appear to be close to returning.

Chargers coach Jim Harbaugh said WR Brenen Thompson (quad) will resume practicing on Wednesday.

Thompson is unlikely to be FLEX-viable, but the Chargers need all the help they can get, and he at least took a few first-team reps during preseason play. At worst, his speed will help keep safeties honest whenever he retakes the field on game day.

Texans open practice window for Dell to return

Kyle Dvorchak expects a "slow ramp up" for Tank Dell after the Houston Texans opened the practice window for the WR to return to IR, and though his fantasy relevance may be limited, it could elevate his teammates.

Zay Flowers

BAL Wide Receiver #4

Zay Flowers (hamstring) was limited on Wednesday.

Initially, it looked like Flowers might not practice today. He was not present during the portion of practice open to the media, but apparently joined his teammates later on. He will likely be catching passes from backup QB Tyler Huntley against the Falcons this weekend, but he remains WR2-viable at worst.

Tyler Smith (thumb, IR) is questionable for Week 5 against the Bucs.

Smith was designated to return from injured reserve earlier this week. He went on IR at the end of training camp after undergoing surgery on his thumb. The Cowboys still need to officially activate him from injured reserve before tomorrow night, so we will get a definitive answer on his status ahead of kickoff.

Chargers coach Jim Harbaugh said Ladd McConkey (foot) will be at practice on Wednesday.

The phrasing is slightly ambiguous, but we believe he is saying McConkey will be present and participating in some capacity — likely as a limited participant. Harbaugh told reporters yesterday that McConkey was considered day-to-day after aggravating his foot injury in Week 4 against the Seahawks. Getting in a limited session to begin the week gives him a chance to play in Week 5 against the Broncos.

Bain missed Week 4 with the groin issue but logged three full practices this week before being cleared from the injury report. He should play without any restrictions on Thursday night.

Lions coach Dan Campbell said it will take a few weeks for S Brian Branch (Achilles) to ramp up before playing on game day.

Branch has officially resumed practicing, but he has a 21-day practice window to bring himself up to speed. The team has handled Branch’s recovery responsibly thus far. He is unlikely to be rushed out there, no matter how poorly the Lions’ defense is playing. We do not expect him to face the Cardinals in Week 5.

Chase McLaughlin (groin) will play in Week 5 against the Cowboys.

McLaughlin had a hip/groin issue pop up during practice this week but has since been cleared to play on Thursday. With the offense struggling to move the ball under Jalon Daniels, McLaughlin is not on the fantasy radar for Week 5.

Baker Mayfield (thumb) will not play in Week 5 against the Cowboys.

This was just a formality as Mayfield is expected to miss between three and six weeks with a dislocated thumb. Jalon Daniels will make his second start tomorrow against the Cowboys. Daniels struggled through the air in Week 4, throwing for just 148 yards with a touchdown and two interceptions. He did, however, add 55 yards on the ground. His legs will keep him in the QB2 mix for Week 5.

Jonathan Greenard (ankle) was not seen at Wednesday’s practice.

Greenard is reportedly considered day-to-day after suffering an ankle injury in Week 4. A DNP would put him on the wrong side of questionable for Week 5. Safety Marcus Epps was also absent from practice. He suffered a groin injury in practice last week and did not suit up on Sunday. He will likely miss this week’s contest as wel.

ESPN’s Brooke Pryor reports that Michael Pittman (foot) was in “the locker room with his left foot propped up on a scooter.”

Pittman has been playing through a foot injury this season and was seen participating in team stretches earlier today. Although the scooter use is alarming, this is likely just load management. Pittman is a boom-bust FLEX against the Colts this weekend.
