Fantasy Football Injury Updates

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

Malik Nabers not practicing Wednesday
Giants WR Malik Nabers will not practice Wednesday as he is still in the early stages of concussion protocol.

Fantasy Impact

Nabers left last Thursday night’s loss to the Cowboys early due to a concussion. This is certainly a situation to monitor as the Giants will hope to have their top weapon return to play soon.

Brandin Cooks to miss Week 5 and potentially longer
Cowboys WR Brandin Cooks will have to miss Week 5 and potentially more time, due to an infection that developed in his right knee which followed a necessary procedure that Cooks underwent after remaining in Week 4’s game after sustaining an injury.

Fantasy Impact

Huge blow for the Dallas offense as they will hope to have their speedy receiver return to play soon. Expect WRs Jalen Tolbert, KaVontae Turpin and Jalen Brooks to see increased receiving work in the meantime.

Jonathan Taylor (ankle) not practicing Wednesday
Colts RB Jonathan Taylor is not practicing today due to his high-ankle sprain.

Fantasy Impact

This is certainly a situation to monitor for Taylor fantasy owners. If he is to sit out in Week 5, expect RB Trey Sermon to step up into a RB1 role for Indianapolis.
