Fantasy Football Injury News

Check out the latest news and notes around the NFL.

Jimmy Garoppolo (concussion) doesn’t practice Wednesday

Jimmy Garoppolo (concussion) did not participate in practice on Wednesday.

Fantasy Impact

Garoppolo suffered a concussion during the team’s Week 3 loss and missed practice on Wednesday because of it. The team is reportedly optimistic that he will be able to play this week, but this is not a step in the right direction for that. He will need to clear the protocols sooner rather than later if the Raiders want to avoid having to start either Brian Hoyer or rookie Aidan O’Connell in his place against the Chargers.

Zay Jones (knee) doesn’t practice Wednesday

Zay Jones (knee) did not participate at Jacksonville’s practice on Wednesday.

Fantasy Impact

Jones has been managing this knee injury for a couple of weeks and did not practice on Wednesday because of it. It continues to linger for him, and he’s reportedly a ‘long-shot’ to play in this week’s game in London. Official word will come out later in the week, but fantasy managers shouldn’t expect him to practice much or play against the Falcons in Week 4.

Gerald Everett (illness) misses practice Wednesday

Gerald Everett (illness) missed Los Angeles’ practice on Wednesday.

Fantasy Impact

Everett was a surprise addition to the injury report, being listed with an illness of some kind that forced him to miss practice. He’s presumably day-to-day for right now, and he should be able to return to practice before the end of the week. He seems likely to play in Week 4 and is primed for a bigger role with Mike Williams now out for the season with a torn ACL.

Austin Ekeler (ankle) officially limited Wednesday

Austin Ekeler (ankle) was officially listed as a limited participant in Wednesday’s practice.

Fantasy Impact

Ekeler made his return to practice on Wednesday after being out for multiple weeks because of an ankle injury. He was officially limited, which is a step in the right direction for his availability for Week 4. We’ll learn more about his status for Sunday later in the week, and his return would mean significantly less work for Joshua Kelley moving forward.
