Cowboys WR Dez Bryant makes trip to San Francisco

Oct 01, 2016

Cowboys receiver Dez Bryant isn’t expected to play tomorrow, but he’s not ruled out yet.

Bryant made the trip to San Francisco for tomorrow’s game against the 49ers, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

It still seems extremely unlikely that Bryant will play after suffering a hairline fracture near his knee last week against the Bears. Reports have indicated Bryant will probably have to miss at least a couple games.

Fantasy Impact:

But the Cowboys aren’t ready to make that official just yet, the story said. Bryant at least be in the stadium, and we’ll have to wait until 90 minutes before kickoff to see whether the Cowboys make him active.

The Saints listed star wide receiver Michael Thomas as a limited participant in Wednesday's practice due to ankle and hamstring issues.

Fantasy Impact:

The concerning part of this news is the Saints listing Thomas as having picked up a hamstring injury. Thomas was set to return from his high-ankle sprain this week after being suspended in Week 6, but the new injury designation throws his status for the week into flux. The fact that Thomas still was able to participate in some fashion means he has a good chance to play, but hamstring issues are always tricky for receivers. Check back on Thursday to see if we get an update on Thomas's health.

Packers tight end Robert Tonyan missed Wednesday's practice due to an ankle injury he suffered in Week 6.

Fantasy Impact:

Tonyan briefly left last week's game before returning but did not do much after the injury. The fact that Tonyan was able to finish Week 6 suggests today may be a rest/maintenance day for the tight end and he will practice later in the week. Check back Thursday for an update on his status.

Titans TE Jonnu Smith (ankle) gets in limited practice

Titans TE Jonnu Smith was able to practice in a limited fashion Wednesday after injuring his ankle in Week 6.

Fantasy Impact:

Smith had settled in as a solid TE1 before the injury as an explosive athlete after the catch getting targets from a red-hot Ryan Tannehill. Getting in a limited Wednesday practice is a promising sign that Smith should play this weekend against Pittsburgh. Whether he will be 100% is another question, and the Steelers defense has been one of the best in the league to this point. If Smith is active he should be started, but be warned he carries more risk than usual this week.
