AutoDraft Pro AI

Seattle Seahawks rookie running back Jadarian Price was limited in practice Wednesday due to a chest issue.

AutoDraft Pro AI

Philadelphia Eagles linebacker Zack Baun missed Wednesday's walkthrough due to a concussion. Having played 66 of 72 defensive snaps in Monday night's loss to the Bears, the short week leaves him with less time to clear concussion protocol before facing the Rams.

AutoDraft Pro AI

Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert is under heavy scrutiny as early-season struggles mount under offensive coordinator Mike McDaniel. Evaluators note Herbert looks overwhelmed, completing 59.1% of passes for 627 yards, three touchdowns, and four interceptions through three losses. Despite a 209-yard performance in a 24-16 loss to Buffalo featuring an interception by C.J. Gardner-Johnson, concerns remain over scheme fit, red-zone woes, and a stagnant running game.

AutoDraft Pro AI

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Ladd McConkey was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice due to a foot injury. McConkey previously managed a rib issue this season but has played in all three games, posting a 12-183-1 stat line on 15 targets. Friday's practice report will clarify whether he carries an injury designation into Sunday's game against Seattle.

AutoDraft Pro AI

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Brycen Tremayne could serve as the team's No. 2 receiver in Sunday's matchup against Detroit. With both Jalen Coker (quad) and Xavier Legette (knee) missing Wednesday's practice, Tremayne is positioned for increased snaps and targets in Carolina's passing attack as the team manages multiple injuries across its receiving corps.

AutoDraft Pro AI

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Xavier Legette sat out Wednesday's practice session due to a knee injury after missing last week's game. Legette was sidelined alongside teammate Jalen Coker during walk-through estimations ahead of Week 4 against the Detroit Lions. His participation over the next two days will be critical in determining his availability for Sunday night's contest.

Jalen Coker Sidelined From Practice With Quadriceps Strain

AutoDraft Pro AI

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Jalen Coker sat out Wednesday's practice due to a quadriceps strain sustained during Sunday's game against Cleveland. Although Coker reportedly avoided a major injury, he was limited to side-field work during walk-throughs and is unlikely to play against Detroit. Through three weeks, Coker has emerged as fantasy WR9 while working through ongoing ankle and quad issues.

AutoDraft Pro AI

Dallas Cowboys cornerback Shavon Revel Jr. did not practice Wednesday due to right knee and right ankle injuries after hyperextending his knee against Baltimore. Ameer Speed and Caelen Carson stepped in to replace Revel. His potential absence further weakens a depleted Dallas secondary that is already missing Cobie Durant, Jalen Thompson, and P.J. Locke ahead of facing Houston.

Cobie Durant Sidelined From Practice With Hamstring Strain

AutoDraft Pro AI

Dallas Cowboys cornerback Cobie Durant did not practice Wednesday due to a hamstring injury and is not expected to play Sunday against the Houston Texans.

Locke, leaving depth cornerbacks Ameer Speed and Caelen Carson to take on expanded defensive roles.

AutoDraft Pro AI

Houston Texans wide receiver Nico Collins returned to practice in a limited capacity on Wednesday after missing the last two games with a strained hamstring. Head coach DeMeco Ryans expressed hope that Collins will play Sunday against the Dallas Cowboys.
