Fantasy Football Injury Updates
Jordan Love (groin) upgraded to limited Thursday
Jordan Love (groin) was upgraded to a limited participant at practice on Thursday.
Fantasy Impact
The Packers got Love back at practice on Thursday after he missed Wednesday’s practice due to a groin injury. He was still a limited participant, but it looks like he’s trending in the right direction for Sunday’s game, which is obviously great news for all of Green Bay’s skill-position players.

Lamar Jackson (back/knee) doesn’t practice Thursday
Lamar Jackson (back/knee) did not participate at practice on Thursday.
Fantasy Impact
Jackson missed Baltimore’s practice on Thursday, which comes as a bit of a surprise. He didn’t practice on Wednesday either, but the team considered that a rest day for the veteran. It apparent that it is deeper than that, and this is a situation that fantasy managers should be closely monitoring throughout the rest of the week.

Fantasy Impact
Cooper was officially able to log a limited practice session on Thursday. That’s a promising sign for his Week 9 availability, but we won’t know what his official status is until after practice on Friday. Fantasy managers should keep close tabs on his health heading into the weekend.
