Tyreek Hill (foot) is expected to play Sunday vs the Bills

Jevon Holland is doubtful — McDaniel said he’s “pessimistic” about Holland’s chances

With Tyreek looking like a full-go, and Tua Tagovailoa back under center, he should be considered a top-10 option in basically any matchup.

Doug Pederson says Brian Thomas Jr is a game-time decision vs. Eagles.

"He's not going to be 100%, but no one is at this time... we also don't want any set backs."

Travis Etienne is "another one who is probably a game-time decision."

In a follow-up tweet, O'Brien mentions that Gabe Davis is also a game-time decision, so the Jaguars offense is in abject ruin right now. Engram might very well get 12-15 targets in Week 9, while Tank Bigsby should have a locked-in workload as well.

Jaguars WR Brian Thomas Jr. could miss 2-4 weeks with a chest/rib injury suffered Sunday, per sources.

Scans today will determine full extent and next steps, though. Thomas is also getting a second opinion, Fowler went on to say. It's not good news for Trevor Lawrence and the Jags who also just lost Christian Kirk for the season. With Thomas looking likely to be sidelined, it means Engram is probably the team's top target with Davis and Washington highly in the mix. It could also mean Etienne is involved much more in the passing game until Thomas can return. The Jags are also at 2-6 and there have already been talk of the team unloading some of their talent, and Etienne specifically has been mentioned in rumors.

Tua Tagovailoa has been cleared through concussion protocol.

He will play Sunday against the Arizona Cardinals.

We are so back. Tua has a great matchup, and can be considered as a low-end QB1 for managers who are looking to stream him in his first game back. Hill returns to WR1 consideration with the upside for a top-3 weekly finish, while Waddle managers can shake off the cobwebs and stick him in as a WR2.

After suffering a hamstring injury in the season opener, tight end Evan Engram may be back on the field for the Jaguars when they play the Bears in London on Sunday.

Head coach Doug Pederson provided a positive update on Engram during his Monday news conference, saying he was close to playing in Week 5.

“He got himself into practice a little bit,” Pederson said. “I would anticipate him doing more this week and seeing where he’s at at the end of the week. But I think the chances of him getting back in here this week are pretty good.”

Engram had one 5-yard catch in the season-opening loss to Miami before he had to exit the contest. He was a limited participant in practice all three days last week, the story pointed out.

Jaguars TE Evan Engram is “not tracking” to play Sunday against the Colts.

Engram continues to recover from the hamstring injury he suffered during pre-game warmup in Week 2. It will be another start for Brenton Strange, who has under 20 years in two of his three games started.

Broncos running back Tyler Badie is back in Denver after suffering a back injury in Sunday’s win over the Jets and head coach Sean Payton offered a limited update on Badie’s status on Monday.

“We’re still evaluating him now. He’s doing better,” Payton said, via Parker Gabriel of the Denver Post. “Everyone that’s reached out, we appreciate the concerns. Fortunately, he was able to come back before the day ended.”

Badie was taken off the field on a cart while strapped on a backboard and he flew home on a commercial flight after being evaluated at a local hospital. The exact nature of the injury isn’t known, but Badie has movement in all his limbs and Payton said his condition has improved, the story went on to say.

Doug Pederson is doubtful Evan Engram (hamstring) will play vs Texans

Strange has actually looked pretty good in the Engram role, and can be considered a streaming option after compiling 12 targets over the last two games.

Jaguars injury updates: Darnell Savage (quad) will be worked back into practice this week, hopeful to play for MNF.

Evan Engram (hamstring) a bit further away, will be assessed day-to-day, per Doug Pederson.

If one is "hopeful" and the other is "further away" we might be able to surmise that Engram won't be suiting up for Week 3. Strange had a nice showing in Week 2, taking his six targets for a 3-65-0 stat line. He should only be considered in very deep leagues.

The Jaguars said TE Evan Engram is week to week with a hamstring injury.

Normally week to week can possibly indicate some missed time ahead, but HC Doug Pederson said he's optimistic Engram could play in Week 3. Unfortunately for owners, the Jags are one of two Monday night games in Week 3, so owners will likely need a backup plan and to monitor Engram's status this week. Strange was targeted six times in the loss and caught three passes for 65 yards. Based on that, he could make for a decent replacement option if owners are in a pinch.
