Hunter Renfrow will return to practice today as a non-contact participant, per Raiders coach Josh McDaniels.

Renfrow has been out since Week 2 due to a concussion. He suffered it on the game's final play. While this is at least a good sign, we'll have to keep checking back on Renfrow's status as the week goes on and see if he gets cleared.

Saints WR Michael Thomas is out, and QB Jameis Winston is doubtful for Sunday, per coach Dennis Allen. Andy Dalton is in line to start against the Vikings in London.

Dalton gets the start, but it's fair to wonder how much run Taysom Hill will also get. Dalton makes for a desperation start in 2QB leagues.

Panthers running back Christian McCaffrey did not practice Thursday for a second day straight due to a quad injury.

One week ago, McCaffrey was listed on the injury report as a limited participant due to stiffness in his ankle, which appeared to be more of a precautionary measure. Hubbard and Foreman would split the workload against the Cardinals 11th-ranked rush defense. CMC has basically be the lone bright spot on a Panthers offense that has been difficult to watch at times

Jameis Winston isn't trending favorably to start their Week 4 matchup against the Minnesota Vikings. While Andy Dalton would assuredly get the start in Winston's absence, one would think that Taysom Hill could see the field more often.

Dalton was "once again" taking his reps with the first team while Hill was with the second team. Michael Thomas was also missing from practice, so this could be a rough week for the Saints offense.

Raiders WR Hunter Renfrow (concussion) still isn't practicing.

He's been out since the Cardinals game and Week 2, missing Week 3 so it's not a great sign for Renfrow and his status for Week 4. If he can't go, Hollins and Johnson slide up the depth chart behind Davante Adams. Hollins had a huge game in Week 3, going for 8-158-1.

Matt Rhule said it's a quad injury for Christian McCaffrey. Didn't know about it until after Saints' game. Wouldn't speculate on his status for this week.

McCaffrey did finish the game in Week 3 but given McCaffrey's recent past and injuries, owners may want to take note. For what it's worth, Person did tweet Hubbard said he thinks McCaffrey will be good to go and added Hubbard prepares to play every game. If he can't go, look for Hubbard and Foreman to see some kind of split in the workload.

Dennis Allen anticipates Jameis Winston practicing tomorrow.

Related players: Andy Dalton, Taysom Hill

Good news for owners as reports say Winston wasn't spotted today at practice and the team was preparing Dalton and Hill. The Saints play in London on Sunday morning so this is a situation to continue to monitor if you need to play Winston.

Jameis Winston was not at practice today. Andy Dalton took first team reps at QB, with Taysom Hill receiving reps as a reserve QB. This is different than past weeks.

Winston is dealing with broken bones in his back and the offense has struggled over the first three weeks. Keep in mind the Saints will fly to London to take on the Vikings this week in what will be a Sunday morning game. As the tweet said, it looks like the Saints are preparing in case they have to make a change at quarterback. Hill is dealing with a rib injury, but if he's good to go, and with Dalton under center, he could see increased time at QB - while being listed as a TE in a lot of leagues.

Hunter Renfrow is officially out for Week 3 with a concussion while teammate Josh Jacobs is questionable with an illness.

Renfrow has far and away led the team in slot routes through two weeks and is one of only three WRs who have received a target thus far in the season. Mack Hollins is the best bet to fill much of the Renfrow role with a semi-promotion possibly going to Tyron Johnson.
