Fantasy Football Injury Updates
Jonathan Taylor (ankle) to return to practice Wednesday
Colts RB Jonathan Taylor will return to the practice field Wednesday for the first time since he suffered a high ankle sprain in Week 4, and will have a chance to play on Sunday.
Fantasy Impact
“We’ll see how the week goes,” Indianapolis HC Shane Steichen said. “But we feel really good about it.” Getting Taylor back to full health will be vital for the success of the Colts’ offense. This will be something to monitor as the team practices this week in preparation for the Texans in Week 8.

Jayden Daniels (ribs) will not practice on Wednesday
Washington QB Jayden Daniels will not practice on Wednesday due to his rib injury that kept him out of most of the game in Week 7.
Fantasy Impact
Daniels’s status for Week 8 is very much up in the air as he was considered week-to-week by HC Dan Quinn. If the rookie QB is not 100% healthy by Sunday, expect Marcus Mariota to get the start.

Adam Thielen (hamstring) has returned to practice from IR
Panthers WR Adam Thielen has been designated to return to practice from IR on Wednesday.
Fantasy Impact
This will open up the veteran wideout’s 21-day practice window before he must be placed back on the active roster. A return for Week 8 is a possibility but remains in question.
