Van Ginkel was able to generate a little positive progress off the bye, getting in some limited practice sessions after missing Week 4 and Week 5. It’s one step closer to a return, perhaps in Week 8. Dallas Turner figures to remain more involved with Van Ginkel out.

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.

He hasn’t practiced since before Week 6 and looks likely to be ruled out again on Friday. Khalil Herbert ran in Robinson’s place as the backup last week and would handle those duties again against Tampa on Sunday if Robinson is ruled out.

With Zach Charbonnet’s status also in some doubt, Seattle’s backfield situation likely won’t be sorted out until Saturday (or MNF inactives), but if Price is back that’s probably the end of Emmanuel Wilson’s short-term RB2 ride. We’ll keep an eye on the situation. Wilson-reliant managers might want to consider alternative arrangements for Week 8.

“He went 10-for-10 yesterday, with Justin Tucker right there. ... We’re going to keep working it,” Toub continued. It sounds like despite signing Tucker, Butker will continue to kick for the Chiefs. At least this week, anyway.

It’s a rough blow for Noel, who had been extremely efficient on his targets. It does clear up space for some of Houston’s other receivers. The recently-activated Tank Dell and recently-acquired Marvin Harrison Jr. will benefit a bit from one fewer mouth to feed after the Texans come off bye.

That now marks consecutive days on the practice field for the veteran receiver whom has missed the previous two games. The Chiefs also had their bye in Week 5, giving Rice a full three weeks of recovery, which combines with his recent practice availability to make it likely he returns to face the Broncos. The Chiefs managed just 25 combined points in the two games without Rice.

Delane’s absence raises concerns surrounding his potential availability when the Broncos in Week 8. Coming off their first loss of the season, the Chiefs will look to rebound against a divisional opponent after managing only three points against the Seahawks. Delane has been a big part of defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo’s weekly game plan, allowing the team to rank near the top of the league in man coverage rate through the first third of the season.
