Justyn Ross returns to practice Wednesday
Chiefs WR Justyn Ross is back at practice Wednesday.
Fantasy Impact
Fantasy managers will have to wait for practice reports to see Ross’ level of participation, but it is a great sign to see him back on the practice field. It appears that Ross has avoided any long term injury after exiting practice Tuesday on a cart. Ross is impressing in training camp and has a chance to carve out a role heading into the 2023 season.

Jameson Williams leaves practice with apparent leg injury
Jameson Williams “pulled up holding his right hamstring” during the Lions’ practice, according to beat reporter Kyle Meinke. The second-year wideout walked to the locker room under his own power.
Fantasy Impact
Williams’ tumultuous career continues as the former Alabama stand-out struggles to find his footing. After suffering a torn ACL during the 2022 CFP national championship game, and only managed one catch in his injury-shortened rookie season. Williams walking off under his own power is promising that he will be fully healthy by the time he has served his six-game suspension for violating the NFL’s gambling policy, but he could miss valuable preseason experience. Still, Williams’ mix of talent and the Lions’ upside in 2023 makes him an intriguing player to take a shot on in your drafts to help push you towards the fantasy postseason.
