Check out the latest news and notes around the NFL.

Kenny Pickett (knee) officially limited Wednesday

Kenny Pickett (knee) was officially limited in practice on Wednesday.

Fantasy Impact

Pickett stated on Wednesday that he will be able to play in Week 5, but so far early on in the week, the team is taking it slow with his recovery. He was limited at practice, and the team really wants him to not make his bone bruise any worse so he can play in their divisional matchup against the Ravens this week. He should be able to do that, but Mitch Trubisky will be starting for the Steelers if the worst-case scenario comes to fruition for Pittsburgh in practice this week.

Javonte Williams (hip) doesn’t practice Wednesday

Javonte Williams (hip) did not participate in practice on Wednesday for the Broncos.

Fantasy Impact

A hip injury left Williams sidelined at Denver’s practice on Wednesday. He suffered the injury during Sunday’s win over the Bears, and while it’s not exactly a serious injury, it is likely enough to knock him out for a week or two at least. Jaleel McLaughlin has been a popular waiver wire add and would be primed for more work if the Williams is unavailable against the Jets this week.

Rhamondre Stevenson (thigh) listed as limited Wednesday

Rhamondre Stevenson (thigh) is listed as a limited participant at New England’s practice on Wednesday.

Fantasy Impact

Stevenson is a new addition to the injury report, being listed with a thigh injury of some kind that left him limited at practice. It’s unclear how serious it is, and his practice participation at Thursday and Friday will tell us more about just what this means for him. Ezekiel Elliott could be more involved in Week 5 if Stevenson is limited or out against the Saints on Sunday.
