Titans RBs Tony Pollard, Tyjae Spears miss Wednesday practice

Sep 30, 2026

Tony Pollard did not practice Wednesday due to a foot injury, while Spears Tyjae remained sidelined with an ankle injury.

Related Players: Nicholas Singleton, Julius Chestnut

Fantasy Impact:

A Wednesday absence alone does not put either veteran’s availability in serious doubt, especially after both followed similar practice schedules last week. Their simultaneous absences are still worth monitoring ahead of Sunday’s game in Baltimore. Singleton and Chestnut would become deeper-league considerations if one of Tennessee’s top two backs cannot play, but neither warrants a lineup spot yet.

Steelers RB Rico Dowdle ruled out for Thursday night

Dowdle has been ruled out for Thursday night’s game against Cleveland due to a toe injury.

This will be his second consecutive absence after he suffered the injury during Pittsburgh’s Week 2 loss to New England.

Related Players: Jaylen Warren, Eli Heidenreich, Travis Homer, Lew Nichols

Fantasy Impact:

Warren should remain the clear centerpiece of Pittsburgh’s backfield after handling a heavy workload during Dowdle’s first absence. He enters Thursday night as a strong RB2 with three-down involvement, while Homer and rookie Eli Heidenreich provide depth without standalone fantasy value. Pittsburgh could also elevate Lew Nichols from the practice squad, as they did in Week 3.

Texans WR Nico Collins returns to practice Wednesday

Nico Collins returned to practice Wednesday for the first time since suffering a hamstring injury two weeks ago.

Collins missed Houston’s past two games, while head coach DeMeco Ryans said Monday that the team was hopeful to have him back against Dallas. His official participation level was not immediately available.

Fantasy Impact:

Returning to practice gives Collins a legitimate chance to rejoin the lineup Sunday, although one session does not guarantee he will be cleared. His Thursday workload should provide a stronger indication of his availability. Collins belongs in fantasy lineups as a top-12 option if active, while his return would send Hutchinson, Boutte and Noel back to desperation-play territory. It would also improve C.J. Stroud’s outlook after Houston’s offense struggled during Collins’ two-game absence.

Jets HC: Adonai Mitchell considered week-to-week

Aaron Glenn says RB Breece Hall, LG Dylan Parham, WR Adonai Mitchell, TE Mason Taylor and LB Kiko Mauigoa won't practice and are all considered "week to week."

Fantasy Impact:

Mitchell’s extended absence keeps Isaiah Williams in the secondary WR role, though Williams remains a low-ceiling option behind Wilson. Sadiq has the most interesting opportunity after producing more than 100 receiving yards in Week 3 with Mitchell and Mason Taylor sidelined. Taylor was also called week-to-week Wednesday, but that designation was initially reported last week.
