Browns DE Isaiah McGuire (illness) returned to practice today.

Didn’t see LB Carson Schwesinger (ankle), TE Harold Fannin Jr., and WR Isaiah Bond (foot).

Related Players: David Njoku

This isn't a great sign coming out of the bye, particularly after Fannin popped up for his third double-digit fantasy performance of the year in Week 8. If he ends up being cleared, we should consider him a fringe TE1/2 option, but if he were to miss, Njoku should be started everywhere in a very winnable game.

Bills CB Christian Benford was not on the practice field Thursday. He popped up on the injury report Wednesday with a groin injury.

RB James Cook, DE Joey Bosa, DT DaQuan Jones and NCB Taron Johnson all returned to practice today.

Related Players: Ray Davis, Ty Johnson

Cook should be good to go, as we're assuming this was at least a "limited" practice. If he were to miss Week 10, expect Davis to get a large majority of the early-down work, with Johnson taking on an even bigger third-down role.

Much the same at Bucs practice — Luke Goedeke looks to be without any limitations, but still no Chris Godwin, Bucky Irving or Haason Reddick. Reasonable to think those three are all out for Sunday.

Related Players: Rachaad White, Sean Tucker, Emeka Egbuka, Tez Johnson

It's trending toward both players missing another week, but we'll see if they can get healthier over the next couple days.

If they both miss, White should be in line for another RB2 week, Johnson would be an interesting WR3/4, and Egbuka would be a WR1 regardless.

Rams HC McVay Sean McVay told reporters that WR Puka Nacua should be good to play Sunday vs. the 49ers despite his rib injury.

Related Players: Davante Adams, Jordan Whittington

This is a fantastic spot for both Nacua and Adams against a depleted 49ers defense. Both can legitimately be considered fantasy WR1s.

Garrett Wilson (knee) was limited in practice today. Tyrod Taylor (knee) was a full participant.

We should get used to the remaining Jets players taking quite a few days off while they go down with the sinking ship, so we'll hold off making sweeping fantasy judgements until/unless Wilson misses some more practice time.

Aaron Glenn has yet to make a Week 10 QB decision, but Taylor being a full participant means Justin Fields isn't in the clear.

Here’s the 49ers’ preliminary practice participation report via Shanahan:
No practice
WR Ricky Pearsall (knee)
DL Mykel Williams (knee)
Limited
QB Brock Purdy (toe)
C Jake Brendel (hamstring)
DE Bryce Huff (hamstring)
LB Dee Winters (knee)
LB Tatum Bethune (thigh)

We could honestly just copy-paste this exact same news blast every single week, and no one would notice.

As of now, there is no Week 10 fantasy impact, as the 49ers are in the same position they've been in since the end of September. We'll keep an eye on their practice reports to see if Purdy or Pearsall are able to suit up this weekend.

Cardinals are placing QB Kyler Murray on injured reserve due to his foot injury, meaning he now will miss a minimum of four games.

Cardinals say this will give Murray the chance to focus on rehabbing his foot injury and that he is committed to getting back as soon as possible.

Related Players: Jacoby Brissett

We have to wonder if we see Murray for the rest of the season, and going even further, he could legitimately get moved to another team at season's end.

This isn't even necessarily a bad thing for Marvin Harrison Jr. or Trey McBride, who are still safe fantasy plays here in Week 10 and beyond.

Texans HC DeMeco Ryans said QB C.J. Stroud “will be out” this week versus the Jaguars as he remains in concussion protocol. Texans QB Davis Mills starts.

Mills can be left on waiver wires in all league sizes, while Nico Collins and Christian Kirk get bumped down to respective low-end WR2 and WR5s.

WR Kayshon Boutte (hamstring), LB Christian Elliss (hip) and RB Rhamondre Stevenson (toe) aren’t scheduled to practice today, according to Mike Vrabel.

Related Players: TreVeyon Henderson, Terrell Jennings, Stefon Diggs, Demario Douglas, Mack Hollins

It's looking like another week of Henderson's backfield, which would put him in solid RB1 range, while Jennings will handle enough of the short-yardage work to put him in high-RB4 range.

If Boutte misses, we can consider Diggs a WR2 yet again, while Pop Douglas is in FLEX consideration as a WR4.

Buccaneers RB Bucky Irving and WR Chris Godwin were not spotted at practice today, raising questions about the availability of both for Sunday’s game against the Patriots.

Related Players: Rachaad White, Sean Tucker, Emeka Egbuka, Tez Johnson

It's trending toward both players missing another week, but we'll see if they can get healthier over the next few days.
If they both miss, White should be in line for another RB2 week, Johnson would be an interesting WR3/4, and Egbuka would be a WR1 regardless.
