Josh Allen was not on the field during the brief portion of practice open to the media.

Case Keenum is almost assuredly starting in Week 10, with Allen still being held out of Friday's practice. Keenum would have a great arsenal of weapons to work with, but without Allen's incredible rushing floor, he won't be a locked-in QB1 option.

Nico Collins was back at practice again Thursday after missing the last few weeks

Collins looks to be trending in the right direction for Week 10 and will look to build on what was a decent fantasy season before going down in Week 7. Collins had three games of 5+ targets before his injury and should return to his role as the main outside receiver, even more so if Brandin Cooks remains sidelined.
Collins can be used as Flex consideration of Cooks misses another game.

Word is Josh Allen has expressed confidence to teammates he’ll be able to play Sunday vs. the Vikings but that’s what I’d expect him to say. We’ll see as Sunday draws closer for the Bills’ franchise QB.

Mike Giardi reported Allen didn't practice on Wednesday and also tweeted the team says they have confidence in Keenum if he'd be needed. It's not a shock Allen isn't practicing today but you'll want to monitor him the rest of the week. Giardi tweeted HC Sean McDermott said the team will use common sense with Allen.

The injury is considered not to be major, but Allen's status for this week is certainly up in the air as of now. Allen seems like the type of player who would play through it, but the team could lean toward sitting him with the idea of keeping him healthy for the long haul. Continue to monitor his practice status this week. Keenum would be under center if Allen doesn't play but it's obviously a downgrade for the offense in terms of fantasy.

The tweet went on to say that Allen's injury is a UCL injury that will limit him this week. While it’s no sure thing that Allen plays vs the Vikings, belief is it’s an injury he can manage moving forward. How he responds this week is key, according to Rapoport.

Cowboys TE Dalton Schultz didn't wear a brace over his right knee in practice this week. Seemed to be moving around better, too. He carries no game-status designation for Sunday's game at the Eagles.

Schultz kicked off the year on the right foot, emerging from Week 1 as fantasy's TE10. Sadly, Cooper Rush ranks 29th/32 in TE Target% (14.5%), so it may be best to wait for Dak Prescott to return before we rush Schultz back into our lineups.

The good news is there is no new injury or damage, according to the tweet. It went on to say as long as he makes it through the week OK, Schultz should be good to go Sunday night against the Eagles in a huge NFC East showdown.
