Fantasy Football Injury News
Check out the latest news and notes around the NFL.
Puka Nacua (oblique) doesn’t practice Thursday
Puka Nacua (oblique) did not practice for the Rams on Thursday.
Fantasy Impact
Nacua was a surprise addition to Los Angeles’ injury report, being listed with an oblique injury that left him sidelined at practice on Thursday. The exact severity of it is unknown at this point, but it’s not good to see him with a new injury designation and not practicing just a few days before game day. Tutu Atwell and Ben Skowronek will both get more work if the rookie is unable to play against the 49ers’ elite defense.

Brandin Cooks (knee) doesn’t practice Thursday
Brandin Cooks (knee) did not participate in Dallas’ practice on Thursday.
Fantasy Impact
Cooks is dealing with a sprained MCL that left him sidelined at practice on Thursday. He was out on Wednesday as well, so his outlook for Sunday isn’t super optimistic right now. He still could play, but if he doesn’t, Michael Gallup is in line for an increased role in his absence.

Travis Kelce (knee) limited at practice Thursday
Travis Kelce (knee) was limited at Kansas City’s practice on Thursday.
Fantasy Impact
Kelce has been on the field in a limited fashion for both of Kansas City’s practices this week. We haven’t gotten much of an update on his recovery from his knee injury, so it’s hard to say for sure if he will be available to play against the Jaguars on Sunday. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his status heading into the weekend and expect more work for Noah Gray and Blake Bell if he’s out again in Week 2.

Jerry Jeudy (hamstring) practices in full Thursday
Jerry Jeudy (hamstring) was a full participant in Denver’s practice on Thursday.
Fantasy Impact
Jeudy missed Denver’s Week 1 loss to the Raiders because of a hamstring injury he suffered during the preseason, but he was able to log his first full practice session on Thursday and is on track to play in Week 2. If he’s active, he will be a solid flex option against the Commanders and will take away work from Courtland Sutton and rookie Marvin Mims.
