Week 1 Essential NFL Practice News & Notes for Friday

Sep 09, 2016

Bills QB Cardale Jones (right shoulder, questionable) missed practice again Friday and is questionable for Week 1.

Colts QB Andrew Luck (right shoulder) took full practice reps on Friday after being limited earlier in the week. Luck isn’t in any danger of missing Week 1. He has a tasty matchup with the Lions.

Jets QB Bryce Petty (right shoulder, out) missed practice all week and is out for Week 1.

Cowboys QB Tony Romo (back, out) missed practice all week and is out for Week 1. Dak Prescott will get the start and he’s a good-looking Sneaky Start/DFS play this week even though the Cowboys are expected to go run-heavy.

Dolphins RB Jay Ajayi (not injury related, out) missed practice Friday and is out for Week 1. Ajayi is out after not even making the trip to Seattle. Arian Foster will be a workhorse in a very tough matchup against the Seahawks.

Bengals RB Rex Burkhead (shoulder) took full practice reps all week.

Chiefs RB Jamaal Charles (knee, doubtful) took limited practice reps all week and is doubtful for Week 1. Andy Reid called it a “stretch” for Charles to play this week, so we’re currently expecting Spencer Ware to carry the load with Charcandrick West serving as the change-of-pace/passing down back. (We’re not too worried about the fact that West was listed ahead of Ware on a recent depth chart.) In two games against the Chargers last year, Ware averaged 7.62 YPC, racking up 148 yards and two touchdowns on 19 carries.
