Week 4 Essential NFL Practice News & Notes for Friday

Sep 26, 2014

Titans QB Jake Locker (right wrist, questionable) returned to take limited reps Friday after missing practice earlier in the week and is questionable for Week 4. Locker has a very sore wrist which doesn’t bode well for his Week 4 availability. HC Ken Whisenhunt said he was encouraged by Locker’s progress this week, but The Tennessean believes that he is closer to out or doubtful than he is to questionable. Charlie Whitehurst would likely trade his clipboard for a football if Locker can’t go.

Bills QB E.J. Manuel (abdomen, probable) took full practice reps all week and is probable for Week 4. Manuel will be fine to face the Texans in Week 4.

Buccaneers QB Josh McCown (right thumb, doubtful) missed practice all week and is doubtful for Week 4. Mike Glennon is very likely to start against the Steelers in Week 4. He may improve the fantasy prospects of Vincent Jackson and Mike Evans.

Steelers QB Ben Roethlisberger (not injury related, probable) was limited Friday after taking full reps earlier in the week and is probable for Week 4. Roethlisberger will be fine to face the Bucs.

Cowboys QB Tony Romo (back, probable) took full practice reps again Friday and is probable for Week 4. Romo should be able to post good numbers against the Saints.

Raiders QB Matt Schaub (not injury related, out) missed practice all week and is out for Week 4.
