Jacobs took a shot from Lions DB Brian Branch in Week 13 and limped off the field for a quick check in the blue medical tent. He returned without missing much time and finished the day with 18 touches for 91 yards. The fact that he wasn’t listed as a DNP today is a good sign. Jacobs should be good to go by Sunday, keeping him in the RB1 mix versus the Bears.

The quotes read a tad bit more enthusiastically than Jeanty did while speaking to media members at his locker, but this is still good to hear. Jeanty has been dealing with an ankle injury for a long time, but the team took that injury off the weekly practice report this week. He is now listed only with the foot injury after experiencing “a flare-up of plantar fasciitis” last Friday. Jeanty is a low-end RB1 against the Bills this week.

Thomas is dealing with an ankle injury and needs more time to get healthy. The Seahawks recently signed Henry, a rookie, but evidently he will not play this evening, despite the Seahawks’ running back group being a tad thin due to injuries. The Seahawks face the Broncos on Thursday Night Football.

Moss, one of the Broncos’ starting cornerbacks, returns from a one-game absence. He injured his ribs in Week 4 against the 49ers. The Broncos declared QB Sam Ehlinger, OL Kage Casey, TE Dallen Bentley, DL Jordan Jackson and DL Tyler Onyedim inactive for Week 6 against the Seahawks. Ehlinger will serve as the team’s emergency third quarterback.

McLaurin posted a 4/62 receiving line, playing through this hamstring injury in Week 5 against the Giants. Kicking off the week with a limited session is a great sign for his Week 6 availability and overall health. Expect McLaurin to be even more involved against the 49ers on Monday night.

Ekeler and Jacory Croskey-Merritt (groin) are both ailing, though the latter player sat out entirely. Rachaad White (shoulder) and Jeremy McNichols (quad) are both practicing in full. Croskey-Merritt is the only fantasy-relevant Commanders running back at this time, assuming he is good to go on Monday night.

The Patriots’ left tackle seemingly has a chance to play in Week 6 against the Jets. According to Mass Live’s Mark Daniels, Campbell “was out here moving well in full pads,” and lined up with the starters during the portion of practice open to the media. This is great news for Drake Maye.

The Chiefs’ starting left tackle might need more time off, but his continued practice participation is good to see. The Chiefs take on the struggling Chargers this week, and may be able to get by alright without him.

Unfortunately, Bosa has not yet resumed practicing, though the 49ers have an extra day to let Bosa rehab. They face the Commanders in Week 6’s Monday Night Football game. Late last week, Bosa told reporters that it is “pretty darn likely” he plays in Week 6. Stay tuned.

This is a good first step, but Palmer may need another week or so off before he returns to the field. Palmer injured his shoulder in practice last week and was unable to face the Rams in Week 5.

It looks like the Bills could again be without their No. 1 wide receiver on game day. Josh Allen and Co. take on the Raiders this weekend, in what should be a fantasy-friendly game environment. Hopefully, Moore resumes practicing soon.
