Fantasy Football Injury Updates
Check out the latest NFL injury news and notes around fantasy football.
Brian Robinson Jr. (knee) doesn’t practice again Thursday
Brian Robinson Jr. (knee) didn’t practice once again on Thursday.
Fantasy Impact
Thursday marks the second-straight practice that Robinson has been sidelined because of a knee injury. The exact severity of it is unknown, but it seems to be a real threat for his Week 5 availability. Fantasy managers should keep tabs on what his official injury designation ends up being following Friday’s practice.

David Njoku (ankle) doesn’t practice Thursday
David Njoku (ankle) did not practice with the Browns on Thursday.
Fantasy Impact
Njoku didn’t participate at Cleveland’s practice on Thursday, but fantasy managers shouldn’t be concerned by this. Thursday was a pre-planned day off for the tight end, and this is just the team’s attempt to limit his workload as he works his way back from an ankle injury. He should return at some point in the near future and will be worth starting as an upside TE in most leagues when that happens.

Austin Ekeler (concussion) logs full practice Thursday
Austin Ekeler (concussion) logged a full practice session on Thursday.
Fantasy Impact
A concussion left Ekeler sidelined last week, but he returned to practice earlier this week and was able to log a full practice session on Thursday. It looks like he will be cleared to play in Sunday’s game, and he could be in line for a lot of work if Brian Robinson Jr. (knee) is unavailable to play for the Commanders.
