Fantasy Football Injury Updates
Check out the latest NFL injury news and notes around fantasy football.
Rico Dowdle (wrist) added to injury report Thursday
Rico Dowdle (wrist) was added to the injury report on Thursday but was still a full participant at practice.
Fantasy Impact
The Cowboys added Dowdle to their injury report on Thursday because of a wrist injury, but it didn’t stop him from logging a full practice session. He should be good to go for Week 5’s game, and fantasy managers shouldn’t worry too much about his new designation.

Jaylen Warren (knee) misses practice again Thursday
Jaylen Warren (knee) missed Pittsburgh’s practice again on Thursday.
Fantasy Impact
Warren’s knee injury is a mildly serious one, and the team is taking his recovery week-to-week for now. He hasn’t been able to practice at all this week, so fantasy managers should be gearing up for him to miss another game on Sunday, which will leave Najee Harris with an increased workload against the Cowboys.

Travis Etienne Jr. (shoulder) limited at practice Thursday
Travis Etienne Jr. (shoulder) was a limited participant at practice on Thursday.
Fantasy Impact
Etienne suffered a shoulder injury during Week 4’s game and has been limited at practice all week because of it. It looks more likely than not that he will play in Week 5, but he has already been underwhelming for fantasy purposes so far this year, so he may once again be in for a mediocre outing against the Colts.
