Jace Sternberger (Ankle) Returns to Practice Thursday
The Packers’ 3rd-round draft pick from the 2019 draft returned to practice Thursday. He had been sidelined all season with an ankle injury. He might need to be rushed into action, given that nearly all the top WR and TE options for the Packers didn’t practice Thursday. TE’s Jimmy Graham and Robert Tonyan both didn’t practice, so there is opportunity for Sternberger if he can play.
As reported by: Matt Schneidman Other tagged players: Jimmy Graham, Robert Tonyan Davante Adams, Marquez Valdes-Scantling, Geronimo Allison, Jimmy Graham, and Robert Tonyan All Do Not Practice Thursday
The Packers are dealing with a long list of injured offensive skill players. Tomorrow will be the deciding day for most of these players.
As reported by: Matt Schneidman Other tagged players: Marquez Valdes-Scantling, Geronimo Allison, Jimmy Graham, Robert Tonyan, Ryan Grant Marquise Brown (Ankle) Misses Practice Again Thursday
Friday will be a make or break day for Brown. He is not expected to play this week if he can’t practice tomorrow.
As reported by: Jamison Hensley Chargers Place Travis Benjamin (Quad) on Injured Reserve
Benjamin has been placed on the IR by the Chargers with a quad injury. He has been ineffective all season, catching just 6 of 16 targets for 30 yards.
As reported by: Los Angeles Chargers Wayne Gallman (Concussion) Practices Fully; Sterling Shepard (Concussion) Remains Limited Thursday
Gallman looks as if he will play this week, assuming he can clear the concussion protocol. Shepard will likely remain out indefinitely.
As reported by: Dan Salomone Other tagged players: Sterling Shepard A.J. Green (Ankle) Will Not Practice Again Thursday
Green will not be practicing Thursday, saying that he doesn’t want to rush his return. He was limited last Thursday and wasn’t able to play, so it is looking unlikely he returns this week.
As reported by: Geoff Hobson Amari Cooper (Quad/Ankle), Randall Cobb (Back) Do Not Practice Thursday
Both Cooper and Cobb missed their second consecutive day of practice on Thursday. There is a good chance both players miss this week’s game.
As reported by: Michael Gehlken Other tagged players: Randall Cobb Buccaneers Promote WR Amara Darboh to Active Roster
The Bucs have promoted WR Amara Darboh to their active roster. He is likely to be almost exclusively a special teams player. His last NFL experience came in 2017 with the Seahawks, when he caught 8 passes for 71 yards over 16 games.
As reported by: Tampa Bay Buccaneers Bengals Waive Samaje Perine
Perine never found his role in the Bengals offense, playing all 6 games this season but failing to get a touch or a target. His departure will impact the Bengals special teams but not their offense.
As reported by: Cincinnati Bengals Chris Herndon (Hamstring) Will Not Practice Thursday
Herndon won’t practice Thursday, meaning there is a good chance he won’t play this week. He still hasn’t made his debut this year, missing the first 4 games with a suspension and the last game with his hamstring injury. Griffin will remain the Jets’ TE1, but he is not a viable fantasy option.
As reported by: Rich Cimini Other tagged players: Ryan Griffin Dede Westbrook (Shoulder) Will Not Practice Thursday
Westbrook was able to practice fully yesterday and wasn’t even on the injury report, so this should injury appears to be a new one. His status for this weekend is definitely in question.
As reported by: Jacksonville Jaguars Todd Gurley (Thigh Bruise) Limited Wednesday in Practice
Gurley missed last game and was limited Wednesday in practice with a thigh bruise. Limited can mean a wide range of things, so it is too early to predict his availability this week.
As reported by: Gary Klein Aaron Rodgers (Knee), Robert Tonyan (Hip) Both Limited on Estimated Practice Report Wednesday
Rodgers and Tonyan were both limited on the Packers’ estimated practice report Wednesday. Because it is just an estimated report, it is risky to read too much into their designations. Tomorrow’s practice will be important to watch.
As reported by: Matt Schneidman Other tagged players: Robert Tonyan Davante Adams (Toe), Marquez Valdes-Scantling (Ankle/Knee), Geronimo Allison (Concussion/Chest), Jimmy Graham (Ankle) All Do Not Participate on Estimated Practice Report Wednesday
The Packers’ injury report Wednesday makes it clear why they signed Ryan Grant. Four of their top receiving options did not practice Wednesday. Note that it was just an estimated practice report. The Packers did not actually practice, given that they just played Monday night. The report Thursday will give us more insight into these players’ availability.
