Carolina Panthers wide receiver D.J. Moore missed Thursday's practice with a hamstring injury.

Moore has now missed the first two practices of the week and is in jeopardy of missing Week 16 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He will need to practice in some fashion on Friday to have a chance of playing on Sunday and will still likely be listed as questionable if he does. There is a good chance that he will see his snaps reduced even if he is active, so fantasy managers may want to avoid this situation if possible. Moore is currently our 22nd ranked wide receiver for Week 16.

Panthers HC Matt Rhule told reporters Wednesday that WR D.J. Moore (hamstring) will be a game-time decision.

The Panthers offense is in shambles. If Moore does play, he is barely a flex consideration with the team's issues at quarterback.

J.D. McKissic and Curtis Samuel out for Tuesday game vs Eagles. Not Covid. Just injured.

The extra time won't help to get either player back on the field. McKissic is battling a neck injury while Samuel has been having trouble all year staying on the field and is dealing with a hamstring issue. Humphries and Carter are next up on the depth chart at WR while Gibson should again be in store for a potential huge workload at RB.

The Lions signed RB Craig Reynolds from the practice squad to the 53-man roster, per source. He's now signed with Detroit through 2022.

The tweet went on to say Reynolds has 37 carries for 195 yards with an 88.3 PFF grade over the last two weeks. He's no threat to Swift in town but it's worth it for the Lions to see what Reynolds can do with for the rest of the season heading into 2022. It looks like at the very least he's passed Igwebuike and Jefferson on the depth chart. He'll be tough to trust in the Lions offense but is worth adding for the depth at the very least.

Seahawks RB Travis Homer was among six Seahawks players added to the team’s reserve/COVID list Sunday.

WR Tyler Lockett and RB Alex Collins were already on the list. So both the Seahawks and Rams were dealing with COVID issues, though it was more the Rams’ issues that caused their game to be pushed back to Tuesday. With no Collins or Homer, things really set up well for Rashaad Penny to really take control of the backfield in Seattle in a game the Seahawks absolutely have to have, but also now a chance for the Rams to pull even with the Cardinals atop the NFC West.

Panthers WR D.J. Moore (hamstring) is questionable for Week 15's game at Buffalo.

The Panthers offense is broken and will be facing a Bills team desperate for a win. Moore may be the only trustworthy Panther this week.

Detroit Lions running back D'Andre Swift missed Thursday's practice with a shoulder injury.

Swift has missed consecutive days of practice and will need to take the practice field on Friday to have a chance of suiting up on Sunday against the Arizona Cardinals. The Lions seem to be holding out hope that Swift will be able to appear in games again this season, but he has yet to resume practicing since injuring his shoulder. If Swift cannot go and Jamaal Williams remains out, Craig Reynolds, Godwin Igwebuike, and Jermar Jefferson will form a committee, with Reynolds being the presumptive favorite to lead the team in carries. This is a situation to monitor.

Lions RB D'Andre Swift (shoulder) and TE T.J. Hockensen (hand) did not practice Wednesday.

Could be another long week for the Lions offense, but at least Reynolds and Wright showed signs of life in place of their respective starters.

Panthers WR D.J. Moore (hamstring) was limited at practice Wednesday.

The last thing Cam Newton or P.J. Walker needs is their top wideout to not be playing on game day.

Chargers WR Keenan Allen was activated off the COVID list.

Related players: Mike Williams, Jalen Guyton, Josh Palmer

Good news for the Bolts heading into a key AFC West game on Thursday night against the Chiefs. Williams didn't practice on Monday because of a heel issue, but the return of Allen likely downgrades Guyton and Palmer a bit for Week 15, assuming Williams plays as well.
