Looks like #Eagles LB Zach Baun (shoulder) is back at practice in some capacity.

TE Dallas Goedert (hamstring) and G Mekhi Becton (concussion) are still out.

Related Players: Grant Calcaterra

Looks like Calcaterra might get another run as the TE1 but that worked out to a 1-5-0 line last week. If Goedert doesn't go in Week 8, we can safely ignore the situation.

No Bucky Irving at Bucs practice today, so that toe injury could definitely impact Sunday's game against the Falcons. Still have Rachaad White and Sean Tucker healthy, but the three-headed monster might not be fully active this week.

Rachaad White should be the RB1 if Irving misses, but don't count out Tucker to make a few plays of his own. White would be in RB2 territory with Tucker a low-end RB3.

Bad news: Zay Flowers (ankle) and Marlon Humphrey (knee) still missing from Ravens practice on Thursday.

Good news: CB Nate Wiggins (shoulder) and DT Travis Jones (ankle) are back.

Related Players: Rashod Bateman, Nelson Agholor, Mark Andrews

Things aren't trending in the right direction for Flowers' Week 8 availability, so we'll see if he can hit the field on Friday. Bateman can be considered a boom/bust WR3 this week, while Andrews is fully back in the top-7 conversation.

Sources: Lions WR Jameson Williams will not appeal his two-game suspension, and will therefore be OUT for Detroit’s Week 8 and Week 9 games vs the Titans and Packers.

Related Players: Amon-Ra St. Brown, Tim Patrick, Kalif Raymond

Well, it's been fun while it's lasted, but Williams once again finds himself on the sideline for off-the-field issues. Patrick and/or Raymond profile as interesting desperation Flexes over the next two weeks.

Panthers WR Diontae Johnson (ribs) is not practicing again.

Related Players: Xavier Legette, Jalen Coker

Johnson sure has been dealing with a lot of ailments this season. He's borderline unstartable with Bryce Young back at the helm regardless, and even more so if he's limited in any capacity.

Still no Jayden Daniels. Has seemed like tomorrow will be the big day to see if the Commanders rookie QB can get some practice in before Sunday so we’ll see what’s up then.

Related Players: Marcus Mariota

Mariota wouldn't be worth a start in typical 1QB leagues if he goes, but he proved that the pass-catchers shouldn't be downgraded with his performance last week. We'll keep an eye on Daniels' status after tomorrow.

The MRI confirmed the initial diagnosis, with Bucs WR Mike Evans out at least four weeks (not games), but potentially back after the bye.

Related Players: Jalen McMillan, Cade Otton, Sterling Shephard, Trey Palmer

Terrible day of injuries for the Bucs, but at least they'll get Evans back this season. McMillan remains the highest upside target over the next month, while Otton is a good bet to remain a top-10 TE option.

Ravens RB Keaton Mitchell is participating in his first practice since suffering a season-ending knee injury in Week 15 of last year. Mitchell, who is on PUP, has started his 21-day window to return.

Related Players: Derrick Henry, Justice Hill

Still a long way from fantasy relevance, but his return could severely impact Justice Hill's status as a deep Flex option. We'll keep an eye on the situation but Mitchell can remain on waiver wires for now.

Dolphins QB Tua Tagovailoa, back at practice for the first time in 5 weeks

Related Players: Skyler Thompson, Tyler Huntley

This is fantastic news for the Dolphins offense (particularly Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle) in what should be a good matchup against the Cardinals defense. Tua can be considered a high end QB2 in his first week back.

Vikings RB Aaron Jones does not have an injury designation for TNF against the Rams. That's big.

Related Players: Ty Chandler

This is a good-to-great matchup for Jones, and he should be considered an RB1 heading into Thursday Night Football.
