Check out the latest news and notes around the NFL.
Wan’Dale Robinson (knee) returns to practice Thursday
Wan’Dale Robinson (knee) returned to practice and was limited on Thursday.
Fantasy Impact
Robinson sat out from practice on Wednesday but was able to make his return in a limited fashion on Thursday. The team is trying to be careful with his recovery from the torn ACL that he suffered last year, but he should be good to go for Sunday’s game. He isn’t a good start now but could carve out a fantasy-relevant role for himself down the line.

Mike Evans (hamstring) upgraded to limited Thursday
Mike Evans (hamstring) was upgraded to a limited participant in Tampa Bay’s practice on Thursday.
Fantasy Impact
Evans is still managing a hamstring injury and wasn’t able to practice on Wednesday because of it, but he appears to be getting a bit better and was upgraded to limited participation on Thursday. His status for Sunday is still unknown, but we should get more info on how the team feels closer to game time. Chris Godwin will be in line for a lot more work if the veteran is unable to play in Week 6.

Tony Pollard (shoulder) listed as limited Thursday
Tony Pollard (shoulder) was listed as a limited participant in Dallas’ practice on Thursday.
Fantasy Impact
A shoulder injury forced Pollard to be limited in Dallas’ first practice of the week on Thursday. This is a new designation for him, so while it’s not concerning to see him limited this early in the week, it is worth watching to make sure this isn’t a more serious issue. Chances are that he’ll play in full and be a good fantasy option against the Chargers on Monday night.

Jordan Addison (ankle) limited again Thursday
Jordan Addison (ankle) was limited again in Thursday’s practice for the Vikings.
Fantasy Impact
The rookie has now been limited at practice for two-straight days because of an ankle issue. He’s day-to-day for now, but it doesn’t seem like he’s at high risk of missing Sunday’s game against the Bears. The team will need him to be active and healthy with Justin Jefferson (hamstring) now on IR and unable to catch passes.
