Colts WR Collie could play Sunday

Nov 04, 2010

By Phillip B. Wilson:

I did chat with Colts WR Austin Collie on Wednesday. Different player, same story. We all thought the worst when we heard Collie got hurt against Washington before the bye and needed surgery on his right hand to re-attach a ligament in his thumb. Well, he’s going to be out for a while, for sure.

Guess not.

Before he practiced Wednesday on a limited basis, and that included catching a lot of footballs with a bandage on his right hand, Collie chatted with reporters in the final minutes of locker-room interview time. He had the look of determination in his eyes.

I asked if we should be optimistic that he might be back at practice so soon after his surgery.

“You can be optimistic,” he said. “I joke around a little bit by saying it’s on an hour-to-hour basis. It depends on how I feel, but the thumb is definitely making very good progress.”

Cowboys Beat: TE Jake Ferguson not expected to play Thursday

Nick Harris on X

1 hour ago

Long list here, but this is what I’ve gathered:

Guys I expect to play: Brandin Cooks, CeeDee Lamb, Tyler Smith, Cooper Rush

Guys I don’t expect to play: Jake Ferguson, Caelen Carson (possible IR), Zack Martin, Asim Richards

Gonna be close: Trevon Diggs, Eric Kendricks, Marshawn Kneeland

Related players: Luke Schoonmaker

Fantasy Impact:

Ferguson didn't practice Tuesday and remains in protocol, while Rush and Lamb both logged limited sessions. Cooks was also limited. Harris expects Rush, Lamb and Cooks to all play on Thanksgiving against the Giants. If Ferguson is out, Schoonmaker makes for a nice option as a replacement TE in fantasy lineups.

QB Daniel Jones has 'leading' choice, decision could come Wednesday

A high-ranking league official told me they have the impression QB Daniel Jones has zeroed on a "leading" choice. While another high-ranking league source told me their understanding is Jones "is telling teams tomorrow."

Fantasy Impact:

Jones seems headed for a backup job and the Ravens, Vikings and Bucs seem like teams that could be in the market. There is a report that says Jones has eliminated the Raiders from contention. As the report said, a decision could come Wednesday from Jones.

Saints say WR Chris Olave (concussion) in a good place

Darren Rizzi said that Chris Olave is in a good place.

Fantasy Impact:

The post went on to say Olave was at the Saints practice on Tuesday and that Olave has seen several specialists and has another appointment coming up soon. On IR, the earliest Olave could be back is Week 15, but there seems to be a ways to go before we get to that point. Other reports say Olave may not return this season.
