Browns RB Quinshon Judkins returns to practice Friday

No Saquon Barkley (hamstring) at practice today. He has missed all week.

DeVonta Smith (hamstring) is practicing again and Dontayvion Wicks (hamstring) returned after missing yesterday.

Wicks remains a WR3/FLEX possibility if Smith sits and Wicks is cleared for his usual role. A healthy Smith would become Philadelphia’s preferred WR start, with Wicks falling into more volatile WR4/FLEX territory. If both miss, Lemon and Cooper would gain deeper-league appeal, while Goedert would have a stronger TE1 streaming case.

A.J. Dillon has been ruled out against Philadelphia with an ankle injury. Trevor Etienne is questionable after practicing fully Friday and still needs activation from IR. Dave Canales said Carolina intends to activate Etienne and will likely promote Tre Tyus from the practice squad to have three running backs available.

Hubbard remains an RB1 option, with Dillon’s absence further securing his workload. Etienne is a speculative bench addition if activated, but managers should wait for evidence of a usable offensive role before putting him in a FLEX spot.

Aaron Glenn said Omar Cooper Jr. would practice fully Friday and is expected to play against New England. Cooper still needs to be activated from injured reserve. The Jets ruled Adonai Mitchell out with his finger injury.

Cooper is worth a speculative bench addition, with a path to WR3/FLEX value if he immediately earns regular routes. Managers should confirm his activation and expected workload before starting him in his first game back. Wilson remains the clear WR1 play.
