Keenan Allen won’t practice today, per Brandon Staley.

Related players: Mike Williams, Gerald Everett, Austin Ekeler

He’s day to day with the hamstring injury. The tweet went on to say it's unclear right now if he will be back at practice this week, and his status for Week 5 is obviously up in the air. With Allen out last week, it was Williams, Everett and Ekeler who stepped up in the passing game. Everett and Ekeler had TD catches and Williams had a line of 7-120-0.

Washington Commanders announced that running back Brian Robinson has been designated to return to practice this week.

Reports say Robinson will practice today and the team has 21 days to activate him. Other reports say that could happen sooner than later. With Gibson's snaps seemingly already on the decrease, the return of Robinson likely won't help that situation. Robinson was expected to be a big part of the running game before getting shot before the season. He should be picked up if he's on your wire.

Bills WR Jamison Crowder suffered a broken ankle in Sunday’s win over the Ravens. He’ll have additional tests to see what other damage went along with it, but Crowder is now out indefinitely.

Josh Allen has been spreading the ball around expertly so far in 2022, much to the chagrin of Stefon Diggs drafters. The news is awful for Crowder, who may miss the rest of the season. A slight uptick in usage could be in store for McKenzie, Shakir, or possibly, TE Dawson Knox.

Gabe Davis improve to limited.

Davis injured his ankle leading up to Week 2 and didn't play on Monday might. It wasn't necessarily great news for McKenzie as there seemed to be a mix of McKenzie, Crowder, Shakir and Kumerow in what ended up being a blowout victory for Buffalo. It's a good sign for Week 3 Davis is at least logging some limited time Wednesday. The Bills do play an early Sunday game at Miami.

Washington Commanders rookie running back Brian Robinson Jr. was shot multiple times during an attempted robbery in August, and two and a half weeks later, he's making some pretty incredible progress as he attempts to return to the practice field.

On Wednesday, multiple Washington beat reporters noted that Robinson was doing work on the side at practice. ESPN said the rookie was completing some agility work, and several reporters observed Robinson on the stationary bike. Per The Athletic, Robinson was wearing a wrap over his right knee/lower leg -- the area where he was shot.

Washington placed Robinson on the Non-Football Injury (NFI) list, which makes him unavailable for at least the first four weeks of the regular season. Head coach Ron Rivera has not laid out an official recovery timeline for his running back, but Robinson may not miss an extended amount of time. Last week, he ditched his crutches as the swelling in his knee went down, the story went on to say.

Chargers WR Keenan Allen is unlikely to play Thursday night against the Chiefs.

The tweet went on to say there is optimism after tests that his hamstring injury isn’t anything long-term, per sources. The Bolts Week 3 game is Sept. 25 against the Jaguars, two full weeks after the injury and the hope is there is a chance Allen will be ready to go for that contest. Allen led the way with a 4-66-0 line but Williams was pretty much a no-show. Carter posted a 3-64-1 line and Everett a 3-54-1 line. Palmer had three catches for just five years.

Interior offensive lineman joins Rondale Moore in the Out category, while veteran Zach Ertz is questionable heading into Sunday.

Related Players: A.J. Green, Trey McBride

This doesn't look good for Kyler Murray coming out of the gate, going against an explosive Chiefs offense on the other sideline. Marquise Brown and A.J. Green may join James Conner as being the focal point of the Cardinals offense.

By Joe Buscaglia's count, Gabriel Davis missed only two snaps in the regular season kickoff, one of which was the kneel down to end the game. "Expect his snap counts to stay around a similar level all season.

Related Players: Isaiah McKenzie, Jamison Crowder

With Stefon Diggs taking a step back in snaps counts —and still performing admirably with his 8-122-1 line— it left more room in the rotation for Davis, Isaiah McKenzie, and Jamison Crowder, who were utilized in that order. McKenzie and Crowder are likely to continue rotating, while Davis looks like he will be on the field as much, or even more than Diggs.

Falcons HC Arthur Smith on Drake London, "We won't know until the end of the week."

Related players: Kyle Pitts, KhaDarel Hodge, Bryan Edwards, Olamide Zaccheaus

London practiced Monday, but beyond that and for Sunday's game the team doesn't expect to know much else until later. Pitts could be in line for a ton of targets if London is out and the WR work falls to Hodge, Edwards and Zaccheaus.

The Chargers released their official depth chart and some interesting notes:
-Joshua Kelley and Sony Michel are both listed as RB2
(Isaiah Spiller RB4)

Related players: Austin Ekeler

No surprises here really. The Chargers just signed Michel to at least help compliment Ekeler. While the Dolphins cut Michel, it seems like the Bolts aren't totally sold on going with Kelley as the backup, even though he had a nice camp, according to reports. Spiller was banged up a bit this offseason so he'll likely need more time before he's fantasy relevant and gets to move up the depth chart.
