Cardinals TE Trey McBride, who has not practiced all week because he’s been in concussion protocol, will not make an appearance in Sunday’s game against the Commanders.

Fantasy Impact

McBride is at risk of missing Sunday’s game against the Commanders. He’s still in the NFL’s concussion protocols following a big hit he took in Week 3, and he hasn’t been able to practice all week. It remains to be seen what his official injury designation will be, but fantasy managers should be prepared for him to not play this week.

What the Experts are Saying

Trey McBride and Detroit Lions defensive back Brian Branch collided in an “unstoppable force vs. immovable object” scenario on Sunday, and both players immediately went down for an extended period. After a clear helmet-to-helmet hit, McBride was quickly ushered off the field before later being ruled out with a concussion.

Like Smith and Ekeler listed above, he will enter the league’s protocol and attempt to return in Week 4 for a juicy matchup with the Washington Commanders. Monitor practice reports for his progress and give a moderate bump up in value to Michael Wilson and Greg Dortch if he were to miss any time.
