Check out the latest NFL injury news and notes around fantasy football.

Kirk Cousins cleared, avoids PUP, won’t play preseason
Atlanta Falcons QB Kirk Cousins (Achilles) was medically cleared and will avoid the physically unable to perform (PUP) list to start the season, says HC Raheem Morris. However, he will not play in any preseason games.

Morris confirmed on Thursday that Cousins is good to go, a strong sign he won’t miss any time this season. Later in the day, though, Cousins told reporters that Morris won’t let him see any preseason action, though Cousins indicated he would if he were allowed. The veteran QB is looking healthy and has a chance to shine in 2024 if his health is indeed in order. He has an ADP of QB18, according to FantasyPros’ data.

Russell Wilson (calf) misses practice, day to day
Pittsburgh Steelers QB Russell Wilson was held out of practice on Thursday with a calf injury and is considered day to day, says head coach Mike Tomlin.

Fantasy Impact

Wilson was one of Pittsburgh’s key offseason acquisition and is currently the favorite to land the starting QB gig in 2024. However, given the addition of QB Justin Fields as well, it can be assumed that Wilson will want to miss as little time as possible to maintain his lead on the role. He should be fine and will likely want to let his calf heal so it does not linger into the regular season. Wilson currently has an ADP of QB23, according to FantasyPros data.
