Justin Jefferson (ankle) will participate in practice on a limited basis today.

Jordan Addison will sit out practice with soreness, per Kevin O’Connell, who calls the situation “minor.”

Helps explain the Beckham Jr signing.

Jefferson’s return to practice is an encouraging first step, but he will need to progress during the week before managers can count on him. Addison remains Minnesota’s projected No. 1 WR for now, assuming his soreness remains minor. Beckham is a name to monitor, but his practice-squad signing does not create immediate fantasy value.

D'Andre Swift and Kyle Monangai both sat out Chicago’s opening practice ahead of Sunday’s game against Green Bay. Swift is listed with hip and knee injuries, while Monangai is managing thumb and toe issues.

Thursday will tell us whether either absence deserves concern. Monangai is coming off a 30-carry, 146-yard performance and has pushed this backfield toward a more balanced split. Johnson would become the contingency option if either starter is unavailable, but there is no reason to add him outside very deep formats yet.

Malik Nabers did not practice Wednesday because of a knee injury, although he worked with trainers on the side. Nabers described himself as more sore than usual and declined to predict whether he would play against Washington.

Nabers remains in starting lineups for now, but the knee designation makes this more notable than a routine Wednesday rest day. Fields would presumably become the leading Giants WR option if Nabers cannot play, while Likely would likely absorb the largest share of available targets from another position.
