Jones is looking like he'll have a good shot to play after not being able to finish the game in Week 9.

ESPN's Adam Schefter reported that tests came back negative on RB Aaron Jones' injured ankle.

As the story went on to say, things are looking up for Jones, but his practice status this week will determine whether he plays against the Cowboys on Sunday. Dillon would assume the lead role if Jones can't play. Hill would possibly jump into a more significant role with Jones out. He's fresh off the IR and had one carry last week.

Packers WR Romeo Doubs has a high-ankle sprain. Those are generally 4-6 week injuries, though further tests will determine the timeframe. But another target for Aaron Rodgers to miss time.

This offense was an abject disaster before Doubs went down, and stud running back Aaron Jones may be forced to miss time as well. Seventh-round rookie Samori Toure stepped in and logged a season-high 28 snaps, turning four targets into a 2-34 line. Outside of Allen Lazard working as a fantasy WR3, this entire passing offense is a stay-away after the team managed nine points against the NFL's worst defense in Week 9.

Tests on Packers’ RB Aaron Jones’ ankle today came back negative and, “(Jones) should be able to play this week.”

Jones played deep into the second half of Sunday's game before suffering his ankle injury, with A.J. Dillon carrying almost the whole role after he went down, including three carries and two targets over the game's final two drives. If Jones is limited in any way against the Cowboys next week, we can expect an uptick in usage for Dillon.

Packers WR Romeo Doubs is out for the rest of Sunday's game against the Lions with an ankle injury.

As if the Packers' day couldn't get any worse, as their offense has been non-existent so far against the Lions. Aaron Rodgers has thrown 3 interceptions and the Packers are currently being shutout, 8-0. Now, they'll try to come back without Doubs, who had 1 catch for 18 yards.

After being limited at practice Wednesday due to his ankle injury, Titans’ QB Ryan Tannehill did not practice today.

Related Players: Malik Willis, Derrick Henry

There's no reason to expect the Titans to do anything but pound the rock if Tannehill is forced to miss Week 9. We don't currently have a single Tennessee receiver ranked in the top 50.

Titans QB Malik Willis took all the starter reps this week in practice as Ryan Tannehill has been dealing with an ankle injury and an illness, putting Willis in position to start against the Texans.

Tannehill played through the ankle injury against the Colts but only practiced in a limited fashion on Thursday and the illness caused him to miss the Titans' walkthrough on Saturday. Willis had a good showing in the preseason and will the mobility factor to the Titans' offense. The offense still runs through Derrick Henry, our No. 1 RB this week while Willis is a low-end QB2 with upside in the running game.

Allen Lazard said he heard a “snap, crackle and pop” in his left shoulder and said this week vs. Buffalo is probably a no-go.

The Green Bay Packers' WR1 has eclipsed 70 receiving yards on only two occasions this season, so his departure from the lineup is probably not affecting your fantasy team too much. In a good passing offense, this would help raise the tide of other wide receivers but in Green Bay, it likely just means that you should be starting tight end Robert Tonyan and leaving Romeo Doubs and Sammy Watkins for all of the most desperate situations.

Todd Downing said Malik Willis is getting first-team practice reps while Ryan Tannehill nurses an ankle injury are valuable, even if Willis doesn’t start Sunday.

Willis was a fantasy goldmine through the preseason, dropping back 71 times for a 318-2-1 stat line, but more importantly, he accrued 159 yards rushing, with 138 of those coming on 11 scrambles. If he gets a full game in Week 8, he would become a very intriguing fantasy option.
