Amari Cooper (Ankle) Has MRI, Considered Precautionary
Cooper had an MRI Wednesday on his right ankle, not the same ankle that was injured during the preseason. At this point, it is just considered precautionary, but the results will need to be monitored.

Cordarrelle Patterson (Tricep) Limited, Trey Burton (Groin) Full Participant in Practice
This is Burton’s first time not being on the injury report this season. He has improved the past two weeks, getting up to 4 catches for 20 yards last week, playing 61% of the offensive snaps. Patterson hasn’t been a major factor offensively, so his health status is unlikely to impact his teammates significantly.
As reported by: Chicago Bears PR Other tagged players: Trey Burton Taylor Gabriel (Concussion) Does Not Practice Wednesday
Gabriel left the Bears’ Week 3 game with a concussion Monday night, and he did not practice on Wednesday. Consider him doubtful for Week 4. Last week he had 6 catches for 75 yards and 3 touchdowns. He combined for 3 touchdowns the previous two seasons, so this game was clearly an outlier.
As reported by: Chicago Bears PR Greg Olsen (Back) Limited in Practice Wednesday
Olsen has been dealing with this back injury for at least 2 full weeks, and he hasn’t missed any games so far. Unless there is negative news later this week, expect Olsen to play.
As reported by: Max Henson Mark Andrews (Foot) Not Practicing Wednesday
Andrews has missed at least one practice with his foot injury for several consecutive weeks, so this is not alarming. Unless we hear news the injury has gotten worse, expect Andrews to play.
As reported by: Jeff Zrebiec Julian Edelman (Ribs) Practices Wednesday
Edelman had to leave Week 3 with his rib injury, but already had 10 targets at the time. The fact he practiced Wednesday opens the chance for him to play Week 4. The Patriots have been dominating teams this season and not needed to pass much. Despite that, Edelman has still received 25 targets in the equivalent to 2.5 games.
As reported by: Adam Schefter Chris Godwin (Hip) Does Not Practice Wednesday
This appears to be a new injury picked up by Godwin during Week 3. So far he has been a strong second option for the Bucs behind Mike Evans, totaling 214 yards and 2 TD’s over 3 weeks. His injury status the rest of the week will be important to monitor.
As reported by: Greg Auman Jon Hilliman Expected to Backup Wayne Gallman Week 4
Jon Hilliman is expected to be called up from the practice squad to back up Wayne Gallman Week 4 for the Giants. However, Hilliman is not safe in that role going forward, and the Giants will continue looking for more depth.
As reported by: Ralph Vacchiano Alshon Jeffery, Dallas Goedert with No Injury Designations for Thursday Night
Both Jeffery and Goedert will be available for Thursday Night Football for the Eagles. Jeffery has been out since suffering his injury early Week 2, but should return to his normal, productive role in the offense. Goedert is a backup TE and not a viable option when Zach Ertz is healthy.
As reported by: Philadelphia Eagles Other tagged players: Dallas Goedert DeSean Jackson (Abdomen) Out, Corey Clement (Shoulder) Questionable for Thursday Night Football
Jackson is ruled out and will miss his second consecutive game. Clements also missed Week 3, but even if healthy, he won’t have an impact on offense. He played 3 snaps total on offense the first two weeks, and is used instead as a return man.
As reported by: Philadelphia Eagles Other tagged players: Corey Clement Damien Williams (Knee) Doesn't Practice Wednesday
Williams missed last week, and his chances of playing aren’t looking good for Week 4. Even if healthy, he will have to compete with LeSean McCoy, Darrel Williams and Darwin Thompson for touches.
As reported by: Matt Derrick Bennie Fowler (Hamstring), Cody Latimer (Concussion) Limited in Practice Wednesday
Fowler was able to play 60% of the snaps Week 3, down from 78% the previous week, and only saw 2 targets. His odds of playing again look good, but his role is shrinking as the other Giants’ WR’s get healthy. Cody Latimer was out last week, and concussions can often be slow to heal. He does not look as likely to play Week 4.
As reported by: Ryan Dunleavy Other tagged players: Cody Latimer T.Y. Hilton (Quad) Does Not Practice Wednesday
Hilton will not practice Wednesday with his quad injury. When on the field he is still an elite target. He only played 52% of the offensive snaps Week 3, yet caught 8 of his 10 targets for 65 yards and a touchdown.
As reported by: Kevin Bowen Tavon Austin (Concussion) Returns, Limited in Practice
Austin returned to practice Wednesday in a limited capacity. He has missed the last two weeks with a concussion, so there is still a good chance he misses another game.
As reported by: Calvin Watkins Devin Singletary (Hamstring), Tyler Kroft (Foot) Won't Practice Wednesday
Singletary and Kroft both missed practice Wednesday. Both players were out Week 3 as well, so their Week 4 odds of playing are not looking good.
