He was actually shut out until the fourth quarter, as only three Lions even were targeted up until that point. Isaac TeSlaa (39 snaps) received a clear plurality of the third receiver cardio, but bageled on one target. The Lions have done a great job concentrating things on the main pieces and neither Raymond nor TeSlaa are must-starts if they can’t get anywhere close to “there” when the team scores 34 points.

Thornton headed into the medical tent and was subsequently carted to the locker room at Tuesday’s practice. Now it’s been revealed that he suffered a hamstring strain. It’s unclear how long Thornton might be out, but his injury further opens the door for camp standout Cyrus Allen.

Harris visited the Giants on Monday and the connection is obvious with Greg Roman on the coaching staff after he was the OC with the Chargers, where Harris played last year. The Giants maybe aren’t the ideal landing spot with Cam Skattebo, Tyrone Tracy and Devin Singletary all healthy at the moment. Harris should work as the RB3 with occasional opportunities to cut into Skattebo’s workload.

Thornton spent time in the medical tent before he was carted to the locker room during Tuesday’s practice. It’s unclear what the injury may be. Hopefully it’s nothing serious, but if Thornton has to miss time during the regular season that would stand to benefit Cyrus Allen as he tries to establish himself in the Chiefs’ receiver group.

Sadiq is getting closer to being ready, according to Glenn. The head coach reiterated as he said earlier this month that Sadiq’s absence won’t extend into the regular season. Missing as much time as he did this offseason and in training camp, it’s unlikely Sadiq will have an immediate fantasy impact.

Hall suffered a groin strain and left Monday’s practice with Glenn saying he didn’t think the injury was a big deal. Now Hall is set to miss the next 2-3 weeks. The good news is that Hall is expected to be ready for Week 1 of the regular season, but the kind of breakout season fantasy drafters are looking for from Hall typically don’t begin with a multi-week preseason injury. Hall may be ready for the start of the season, but fantasy managers should have a backup plan. Braelon Allen is the late-round handcuff for Hall if his absence does extend into the regular season.

Jacobs has been out since August 6 with a groin injury, but the 28-year-old running back will return to practice on Tuesday. With the possibility of a suspension still looming if the league finds that he violated the Personal Conduct policy, Jacobs is a risky RB2 going in the fourth round of fantasy drafts.

Bowers missed Sunday’s practice with a personal issue. He returned Monday and caught two touchdowns from Kirk Cousins during team drills. Bowers was spotted with tape on his left knee, the same knee that he injured last year (PCL sprain). Hopefully it turns out to be nothing and Bowers wasn’t limited in any way during Monday’s practice, but it could be something worth keeping an eye on.

Coleman scored the first touchdown in the first preseason game at the Bills’ new stadium over the weekend, but showed up to practice in a walking boot on Tuesday. We’ll have more information about the injury when it’s available, but this could be a sign that Coleman is dealing with a significant, long-term injury.

Allen suffered a soft tissue injury during Monday’s practice and the Jaguars announced Tuesday morning that he’ll miss the rest of training camp. It’s unclear if he’ll be ready for the start of the regular season. While Allen doesn’t have standalone fantasy value, he seemed destined for a legitimate role as the primary receiving back in this offense. If Allen misses time in the regular season, it would boost receiving opportunities for Bhayshul Tuten and Chris Rodriguez.

The Jaguars announced that Washington is day-to-day with an undisclosed injury. Washington will miss the rest of this week, but is expected to return next week. It doesn’t seem like this is anything to panic about just yet. Based on the way Washington finished last season and everything we’ve heard from Jaguars camp this offseason, he has established himself as the top wide receiver in Jacksonville.
