Jimmy Graham (Groin/Quad), Jake Kumerow (Shoulder) Limited on Estimated Injury Report
Jimmy Graham and Jake Kumerow were both limited on the Packers’ estimated injury report Tuesday. For Graham, he improved from being out Monday to limited Tuesday, so his odds of playing Thursday are improving. Kumerow was limited Monday as well, so his status hasn’t changed.

J.J. Arcega-Whiteside was listed as a full participant on the Eagles’ estimated injury report Tuesday. He had been listed as not participating Monday, so this upgraded status indicates he will be fine for their Week 4 game on Thursday.
As reported by: Philadelphia Eagles DeSean Jackson Likely Out Thursday, DNP on Tuesday's Estimated Injury Report
Coach Doug Peterson said Tuesday that he does not expect DeSean Jackson to play Thursday night. Jackson was listed as not participating on Tuesday’s estimated practice report. He missed last week’s game, and with the short turnaround, his status was always in question.
As reported by: Rob Demovsky Alshon Jeffery and Dallas Goedert Expected to Play Thursday
Alshon Jeffery and Dallas Goedert are both expected to play Thursday, according to coach Doug Peterson. Jeffery missed last week’s game and left the Week 2 game before he could receive a target, so his return would be a boost to the Eagles’ offense. Goedert played Week 3, but only got 1 target, which he did not catch.
Vikings to Sign Laquon Treadwell
With Chad Beebe suffering an ankle injury, the Vikings have signed Laquon Treadwell. Laquon spent his first 3 seasons with the Vikings, averaging 12.9 yards per game. His role will be similar this year, as he is behind Adam Thielen, Stefon Diggs and Olabisi Johnson.
As reported by: Courtney Cronin Cam Newton (Lisfranc Injury) Will Miss Significant Time
Newton has a Lisfranc injury in his foot, but will not have surgery at this time. If it is able to heal without surgery, the timetable is typically 4-8 weeks. Newton last played on September 12th, making a return prior to the Panthers’ Week 7 bye unlikely. Kyle Allen should be in line for at least 3 more starts.
As reported by: Joe Person Other tagged players: Kyle Allen Chad Beebe (Ankle) Has Torn Ligaments, Timetable Unknown
Beebe will avoid surgery at this time and will be evaluated next week. He has two catches for 70 yards this season, so the fantasy impact is not significant.
As reported by: Ben Goessling Bears will be without starting RT Bobby Maddie tonight
Bears will be without starting RT Bobby Maddie tonight, which could impact the value of the Bears offense to a degree. Chicago has already looked putrid offensively through two weeks and while they should have an easier time moving the ball against Washington compared to the Packers or Broncos, Maddie’s absence could muddy the water. This could be an interesting note for those betting the under or the Redskins side.

Eddy Pineiro Officially Active Week 3
Pineiro is active Week 3 for the Bears, although there is still some risk he won’t be able to complete his normal kicking duties. He will carry some injury risk in the showdown contest tonight.
As reported by: Adam Jahns Tevin Coleman (Ankle) Could Return to Practice Next Week
The 49’ers are entering their bye week, giving Coleman extra time to recover from his ankle injury. If he is able to return, SF will have 4 viable RB options, making it very difficult to predict any of their values in a particular week. Matt Breida and Raheem Mostert have both been very effective, each with over 250 yards from scrimmage in 3 weeks. Jeff Wilson also has 52 yards on 18 carries with 4 touchdowns.

Penny appears to have a good chance to return for Week 4 and could practice by Thursday. The Seahawks were already going to split touches between both Penny and Chris Carson this season, and the fumble issues for Carson have only increased the likely workload for Penny.

Crabtree lasted two weeks with the Cardinals, only catching 4 passes for 22 yards total. Even in the high-volume Air Raid passing attack, he got just 5 targets total, and his departure won’t significantly impact the other Cardinals WR’s. KeeSean Johnson and Damiere Byrd might see a couple additional targets.

Hilton has been dealing with a quad injury, although it hasn’t impacted his performance so far this season. Although not nearly as explosive as last year (9.8 yards per catch vs 16.7 last year), he is tied for the league lead with 4 receiving touchdowns. It was reported that Hilton re-aggravated the quad injury Week 3, putting his status for Week 4 in question. We will need to monitor injury reports as the week progresses.
As reported by: George Bremer Aaron Jones (Shoulder), Jamaal Williams (Neck) and Jake Kumerow (Shoulder) Limited on Estimated Practice Report
Jones and Williams were both active Week 3, and at least having the limited designation gives them a good chance to play again this week on Thursday. Kumerow was inactive, so the limited designation is an improvement for him.
