Check out the latest news and notes around the NFL.
Tee Higgins (leg) returns to practice Wednesday
Tee Higgins is back at practice Wednesday wearing a compression sleeve on his right leg.
Fantasy Impact
Higgins landed awkwardly on his leg at practice Monday, but it looks like there is no concern of a major injury. This still may be a situation worth monitoring over the next few days, but there should be little concern at this point in time.

Cordarrelle Patterson to miss a couple weeks
Atlanta Falcons RB Cordarrelle Patterson is expected to miss a couple of weeks with a soft tissue injury.
Fantasy Impact
Falcons’ head coach Arthur Smith added that the team will have more info on Patterson’s status the week before Week 1. The 32-year-old is a valuable piece on offense and special teams, so missing Patterson for Week 1 would be a big loss. Fantasy managers will need to continue to monitor his status as we head into the regular season.

Miles Sanders out for Friday’s game, may miss preseason
Carolina Panthers RB Miles Sanders will not play Friday and may miss the remainder of the preseason, per head coach Frank Reich.
Fantasy Impact
Sanders continues to miss time with a groin injury. With Reich already casting doubt on Sanders’ status for the final preseason game, fantasy managers should expect the 26-year-old to see his first game action in Week 1. Sanders currently ranks as the RB18 in ECR, according to FantasyPros.
