Check out the latest news and notes around the NFL.
Mark Andrews (quad) limited in practice Thursday
Mark Andrews (quad) was limited in practice for the Ravens again on Thursday.
Fantasy Impact
Andrews has been limited at practice this week and last week because of a quad injury. There hasn’t been a strong indication either way about if he’s planning on playing or not, and the team will make a decision about that sometime closer to kickoff. Isaiah Likely will be the obvious next guy up for the Ravens if Andrews is out again in Week 2.

Pat Freiermuth (chest) limited at practice Thursday
Pat Freiermuth (chest) was limited at Pittsburgh’s practice on Thursday.
Fantasy Impact
Freiermuth left Sunday’s game early after sustaining a chest injury, and now he’s also limited at practice because of it. It’s a good sign that he was able to practice at all, but he’s still no lock for Week 2 against the Browns. If he’s inactive, Kenny Pickett‘s value will take a hit and the team will have to rely on rookie Darnell Washington to step up and play a bigger role.

Jakobi Meyers (concussion) misses second consecutive practice
Jakobi Meyers, who suffered a concussion in Vegas’s Week 1 win in Denver, was a DNP on Thursday and is in danger of missing the Raiders’ Week 2 game.
Fantasy Impact
Meyers had an excellent debut for the Raiders in Week 1, catching two TDs before getting hurt. The veteran WR took a very serious hit late in the game and was diagnosed with a concussion, oftentimes the timetable for a concussion includes missing a Week, but Meyers should be back to close to 100% production in Week 3.

Austin Ekeler (ankle) misses practice again on Thursday
According to Daniel Popper of The Athletic, RB Austin Ekeler (ankle) was a non-participant in practice Thursday for the Los Angeles Chargers.
Fantasy Impact
Ekeler didn’t practice Wednesday either, and now his Week 2 status comes into question. If Ekeler can not go, Joshua Kelley becomes an intriguing start candidate in fantasy football. He ran for 91 yards and a touchdown as the Chargers’ run game looked explosive under new OC Kellen Moore. An official designation should be out for Ekeler on Friday.
