Puka Nacua’s calf injury believed to be minor

Oct 23, 2026

Puka Nacua’s calf injury is believed to be minor, NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reported Friday. His availability for Sunday against Las Vegas remains uncertain after he left Thursday’s practice early.

Fantasy Impact:

This is encouraging for Nacua’s outlook, but managers should keep a replacement available for Sunday’s late window. He remains a WR1 if cleared for his usual workload. If he sits, Mumpfield would jump into WR3/FLEX consideration with WR2 upside, while Whittington would become a deeper-league option. Higbee would gain streaming appeal, and Stafford would become a riskier start with both starting WRs sidelined.

Jordan Love upgrades to full practice Thursday

Packers

yesterday · 5:22 PM EDT

Jordan Love practiced fully Thursday after being estimated as limited with a back injury during Wednesday’s walkthrough.

Fantasy Impact:

Love’s full practice supports keeping him in lineups as a strong QB1 against Detroit. Watson and Golden remain strong starts, with Matt LaFleur having expressed confidence in their availability despite their limited practices earlier in the day.

Cowboys WR George Pickens limited Thursday with shoulder injury

Cowboys

yesterday · 5:21 PM EDT

George Pickens was limited in Thursday’s practice because of a shoulder injury, marking his first injury-report appearance this season.

Fantasy Impact:

Pickens remains a WR2 option if his shoulder permits his usual role. If he misses, Flournoy would have a stronger path into WR3/FLEX territory, while Ferguson would become a more appealing tight end streamer. Lamb would remain a high-end WR1 with additional target upside.

Jets RB Breece Hall returns to limited practice Thursday

Jets

yesterday · 5:19 PM EDT

Breece Hall was a limited participant Thursday, his first practice since suffering a quad injury in Week 3.

Related Players: Braelon Allen, Isaiah Davis, Geno Smith

Fantasy Impact:

Hall would return to RB2 consideration if cleared for a substantial workload, but managers should wait for Friday’s report and any guidance on his role. Allen remains worth holding and would retain RB2 appeal if Hall misses again.
