Patriots WR Kendrick Bourne (shoulder) and TE Jonnu Smith (shoulder) are questionable for Week 8's game against the Los Angeles Chargers.

Related Players: N'Keal Harry, Hunter Henry, Nelson Agholor

Bourne has been New England's WR2 this season and Smith has only seen smatterings of production behind Henry. Henry is headed back to where he played his entire career and should be one of Mac Jones's favorite targets.

Patriots WR Kendrick Bourne (shoulder) was limited at Wednesday's practice.

The shoulder issue is new and obviously important to monitor considering he looked okay during Sunday's win against the Jets.

49ers RB JaMycal Hasty (ankle) will be activated from IR and play Week 7 against the Indianapolis Colts.

Related Player: Elijah Mitchell

Mitchell is the lead back in San Francisco, but Hasty's return will help with a game that could be plagued by heavy rain.

WFT WRs Cam Sims (groin) and Curtis Samuel (hamstring) will miss Week 7 against the Green Bay Packers. RB Antonio Gibson (shin) is questionable.

WFT will also be without their right tackle and guard. It is difficult to play many WFT players with injuries being a major hinderance.

Washington running back Antonio Gibson returned to practice on Wednesday.

Gibson being back at practice on Thursday is good news for his Week 7 status. He has been dealing with the shin injury for most of the season but aggravated it this past weekend against Kansas City. There was some fear that Washington would be forced into giving Jarett Patterson a heavy workload, but a return to practice before Friday suggests that Gibson should be healthy enough to start this weekend. Antonio Gibson is currently out 17th ranked running back for Week 7.

Dolphins QB Tua Tagovailoa (ribs) is questionable for Week 7 against the Atlanta Falcons. Back-up Jacoby Brissett is also questionable with a hamstring issue.

Trade rumors, rib issues, and playing one week after losing to the Jags overseas is not great for Tua. Monitor his reps as the week goes on.

Patriots RB Damien Harris (ribs) is questionable for Week 6 against the Dallas Cowboys.

Related Player: Rhamondre Stevenson

If Harris cannot play through the pain, Stevenson would be the main beneficiary.

Dolphins QB Jacoby Brissett (hamstring) is questionable for Week 6 against the Jaguars. This after Tua Tagovailoa returns to start after practicing Friday.

The Dolphins were going to start Tua as soon as he was ready, so the switch was expected.

WFT RB Antonio Gibson (shin) is questionable for Week 6 against the Kansas City Chiefs.

It appears every offensive skill position starter is questionable for WFT. Gibson played Week 5, so look for Gibson to be managed if anything.

Patriots RB Damien Harris (ribs) did not practice Wednesday. He left Week 5's win and did not return.

Related Player: Rhamondre Stevenson

Ribs and running backs have been a bad combination this season. Stevenson was the main benefactor from Harris's absence but the workload is unknown should Harris miss Week 6.
