Injury Report: Week 4

Another week with scoring down and injuries up. At this rate, teams that make the championship might have 100% turnover from their Week 1 startling lineups. Our Injury Report: Week 4 takes you through another week of big fantasy news.

Also, a great starting point for staying updated on the latest injuries is to bookmark our NFL Injury Report.

Finally, FullTime Fantasy Members will get the latest NFL injury news and advice live each Sunday and Thursday in the FullTime Fantasy Discord. Click below to join us today!

Jordan Love (QB) Green Bay Packers – Love (MCL) returned to practice last week and was “close” to playing. He is expected to be limited this week in practice. However, there is a 70% chance Love will return to face the Vikings in Week 4. We will keep the FullTime Fantasy Discord updated with news all week.

DeVonta Smith (WR) Philadelphia Eagles – A vicious hit resulted in a concussion for Smith. He must clear the league’s protocol before he can suit up. Typically, that takes 1-2 weeks, so consider him questionable for Week 4.

Austin Ekeler (RB) Washington Commanders – Ekeler is also in the concussion protocol. Ekeler did not fly home with the team, which complicates his Week 5 status.

Trey McBride (TE) Arizona Cardinals – Yet another premier fantasy player sidelined with a concussion.

Adam Thielen (WR) Carolina Panthers – Just when Andy Dalton restored some credibility to Carolina’s fledgling offense, Thielen injured his hamstring on his TD grab and will miss at least four games. Check out Week 4 waiver wire for who to target to replace Thielen.

 

Justin Herbert (QB) Los Angeles Chargers – Herbert aggravated his ankle injury and exited LA’s Week 3 loss. However, there is some optimism that Herbert will play in Week 4 with some mobility limitations.

Ken Walker (RB) Seattle Seahawks – Reportedly, Walker (oblique) is progressing well. However, with Zach Charbonnett filling in nicely, the Seahawks have the luxury of letting Walker get close to 100% before they start him.

Sam LaPorta (TE) Detroit Lions – Low-ankle sprain. We will update his status throughout the week. However, it should be noted that the Lions have a Week 5 bye.

Skylar Thompson (QB) Miami Dolphins – Thompson is day-to-day with a chest injury. Despite his availability, Superflex fantasy managers should be prepared for Tyler Huntley to start for the Dolphins this week.

Jaylen Warren (RB) Pittsburgh Steelers – A knee injury forced Warren from Sunday’s game. He had an MRI and is questionable for Week 4. UPDATE: Warren is week-to-week.

Britain Covey (WR) Philadelphia Eagles – Sent to IR with a shoulder injury.
