Speaking of Jayden Reed, the third-year wideout could return to practice on Wednesday after his two-and-a-half-month absence.

The story said HC Matt LaFleur was asked Monday if the Packers will open the 21-day practice windows for any players this week and the head coach flashed a massive smile while saying, “I sure as heck hope so.” According to the story, LaFleur added that the team will have a better idea about the availability of Reed, and running back Lloyd, over the next two days. The return of Reed could be a big deal for the Packers offense, especially after losing TE Tucker Kraft. The return of Reed would create a logjam of healthy WRs in Green Bay.

Dave Canales: No update on Bryce Young's ankle until Thursday.

Related players: Andy Dalton

This is standard operating procedure with Canales during Monday pressers, Person went on to point out. Young was able to come back in the game so he should have a good chance to play in Week 12, which is a Monday night game at the 49ers. Unfortunately those who play Young in fantasy lineups will need to monitor this situation. Young is coming off a monster game in Week 11.

The Chiefs ruled out RB Isiah Pacheco (knee) for Sunday's game vs. Denver.

LT Josh Simmons and WR Xavier Worthy are off the injury report.

Related Players: Kareem Hunt, Brashard Smith, Rashee Rice, Hollywood Brown, JuJu Smith-Schuster, Travis Kelce

With Pacheco set to miss more time, Hunt should be considered a fringe RB2/3, while Smith is more of a desperation RB4.

While Rice is still in WR1 territory, Brown is pushed out of potential WR4 range.

Bills HC Sean McDermott said on WGR-AM that TE Dalton Kincaid and DT Phidarian Mathis are OUT vs. the Buccaneers.

WR Khalil Shakir is "heading in the right direction and should be in a good spot for the game." That's a bit of a surprise.

Related Players: Dawson Knox, Jackson Hawes, Keon Coleman, Joshua Palmer, Elijah Moore, Curtis Samuel

This puts Knox in deep-league streaming territory, but there should be some more readily available options on the waiver wire.

As for the WR room, it would be tough to say who would absorb a lot of the underneath work if Shakir were to miss. It's not exactly Coleman's specialty, but we could see him performing as a WR3 with a couple extra targets.

George Karlaftis and Xavier Worthy were limited in practice today.

Isiah Pacheco did not practice.

Related Players: Kareem Hunt, Brashard Smith, Rashee Rice, Hollywood Brown, JuJu Smith-Schuster, Travis Kelce

With Pacheco set to miss more time, Hunt should be considered a fringe RB2/3, while Smith is more of a desperation RB4.

While Rice would still sit in WR1 territory whether or not Worthy plays, Brown would elevate into more of a boom/bust WR4 role.

Romeo Doubs was questionable to return to Monday's game against the Eagles due to a chest injury, Zach Jacobson of 247Sports.com reports.

Doubs didn't return to the game. The story said Doubs was holding his chest following a Packers possession in the fourth quarter and was later spotted walking into the locker room. The severity of the injury was still unclear as of early Tuesday, but we'll update as we know more. The Packers are banged up in the pass-catching department, including WR Jayden Reed and TE Tucker Kraft who are both on IR. Matthew Golden didn't play on Monday night either. It left Watson and Wicks as the top-two WRs.

LaFleur added that Matthew Golden (shoulder) is considered day-to-day not week-to-week.

It's good news for Golden and fantasy owners he gets the day to day tag, which gives him a chance to play in Week 10. Unfortunately, it's a Monday night game against the Eagles and a game-time tag could be a risk for fantasy owners. Golden likely isn't starting in your fantasy lineup outside of very deep formats, anyway. With Wicks also out the last two weeks, the WR duties look to fall on Doubs, Watson and Williams if Golden isn't able to play.

Panthers QB Bryce Young (ankle) was a full participant in practice, putting him on track to return Sunday at Green Bay.

Meanwhile, backup QB Andy Dalton (right thumb) did not participate.

Dalton had a miserable performance and somehow made it out of Week 8 with only one interception, so this is a good sign for the Panthers' offense. With that said, Young should be a long way from fantasy consideration against the Packers, while Tetaroia McMillan is the only receiver we should be plugging into lineups.

WR Hollywood Brown (ill), RB Isiah Pacheco (knee) and LT Josh Simmons (personal) will not practice on Wednesday ahead of Buffalo. As described by Andy Reid, RG Trey Smith will give it a "whirl" after going through the walkthrough.

Related Players: Kareem Hunt, Brashard Smith

Given that Brown's absence is due to illness, we'll hold off making any sweeping judgments about his absence.

As for Pacheco, it seems very unlikely he'll play in Week 9, leaving Hunt (RB2) and Smith (low-end RB3) in the mix as fantasy pieces.

LaFleur on if MarShawn Lloyd (IR-DTR) will be back anytime soon: "I wouldn't count on that, anytime soon."

Dontayvion Wicks won't practice today.

Related Players: Emanuel Wilson

Looks like Wicks is in jeopardy of missing his second-straight game, while the injury bug won't be leaving Lloyd, who has hardly seen an NFL field since going in the third round of the 2024 Draft. Neither significantly impacts the rest of the Packers' fantasy options.
