Davante Adams (Toe), Jamaal Williams (Concussion) Do Not Practice Wednesday
Adams and Williams both did not practice Wednesday, despite having 6 days since their last game. Both seem unlikely to play unless they can return to practice this week, so monitor their injury report status going forward.

Mark Andrews (Foot) Does Not Practice Wednesday
This is a normal theme for Andrews, as he missed two practices last week before leading the Ravens in targets Week 4. Expect Andrews to continue getting rest during the week while being a top-TE option with significant upside.
As reported by: Jeff Zrebiec Josh Jacobs (Elbow), J.J. Nelson (Knee) and DeAndre Washington (Ankle) All Limited Wednesday
All three players were limited in the Raiders’ practice Wednesday, but they all have a good chance of playing this week. The Raiders are playing in London this week, so there is likely an element of wanting to rest up injured players given the significant time spent travelling.

Singletary has missed the past two games with a hamstring injury. He was able to be a limited participant in practice Wednesday, but his status for Week 5 is still unknown. His participation in practice the rest of the week will be important to monitor.
As reported by: Mark Gaughan John Ross (Shoulder) Put on IR
Ross has been put on the IR, meaning he can’t return for at least 8 games. Auden Tate should see increased targets going forward.

Stills had to leave the Texans’ Week 4 game with a hamstring injury. He was a limited participant in practice Wednesday and is considered day-to-day.
As reported by: Aaron Wilson Dontrelle Inman (Quad) Placed on Injured Reserve
Inman was placed on the IR Wednesday with a quad injury picked up Week 4. He led the Chargers with 7 targets last week with Mike Williams out, more than he received the first three games combined. The Chargers have been hit hard with injuries this season, and their injury report will need to be closely monitored the rest of the week.
As reported by: Los Angeles Chargers Damiere Byrd (Hamstring) Unlikely to Play Week 5
Byrd is considered unlikely to play with a hamstring injury, the same injury that kept him out Week 4. He is having a career year, with his 12 catches this season matching his total from his first three seasons. The Cardinals are also expected to be without Christian Kirk, leaving little WR depth behind Larry Fitzgerald. There are several lower-level options available, but RB David Johnson should also continue to be leaned on heavily in the passing game. Johnson has 20 targets the past two games and is their best receiving weapon outside of Fitzgerald.
As reported by: Darren Urban Christian Kirk (Ankle) Not Likely Sunday, Injury Not Believed to be Major
Kirk is not likely to be able to play Sunday after picking up an ankle injury late in Week 4. This is a significant blow to the Cardinals’ offense, as Kirk leads the team in targets (37) and catches (24). Damiere Byrd is also expected to miss Week 5, leaving KeeSean Johnson, Trent Sherfield and Andy Isabella behind Larry Fitzgerald at WR.

Chase Daniel will get the start for the Bears on Sunday, but Trubisky is considered day-to-day and might return Week 7 after the Bears’ bye week.
As reported by: Adam Jahns Other tagged players: Chase Daniel Tyreek Hill (Clavicle), Damien Williams (Knee) Both Return to Practice Wednesday
Both players were able to return to practice Wednesday, although it remains to be seen how heavy of a workload they were able to handle. Hill has missed the last three games and Williams the last two, so both will likely need a full practice before returning to the field.
As reported by: Adam Teicher Other tagged players: Damien Williams Wayne Gallman (Neck) Limited in Practice Wednesday
This is a new injury for Gallman, but starting the week as limited is promising and it is unlikely he misses this week. Saquon Barkley has not been ruled out this week, and Gallman would lose his value if Barkley did return. If Barkley is out, Gallman should see another heavy workload.

Coach Jay Gruden is not giving away his plan at QB for this week, and he might not make an announcement until Sunday. If healthy, it does appear that Colt McCoy is the likely starter.
As reported by: Nora Princiotti Other tagged players: Colt McCoy, Case Keenum T.Y. Hilton (Quad) Will Not Practice Wednesday
Hilton won’t practice Wednesday due to his quad injury, which also kept him out of last week’s game. While he is progressing, coach Frank Reich did say he would consider the fact the Colts have a bye week after this next game, meaning they could give Hilton a chance to fully heal.
As reported by: Mike Chappell Saquon Barkley (Ankle) Returns to Light Work, Hopes to Beat Return Timeline
Barkley was working out on the side during the Giants’ practice Wednesday. He is roughly a week and a half into his projected 4-8 week recovery timeline and has stated he hopes to beat that window. He has progressed to the point that he isn’t ruled out for a return this week.
