Hope he will practice tomorrow

As @RapSheet said, Panthers are optimistic about Christian McCaffrey‘s status. The hope is he’ll practice tomorrow after rehabbing quad injury all week. (Joe Person on Twitter)

Nerdy Football Analysis: “Hope” isn’t a great word to hear in this situation but we’ll likely get a good handle on McCaffrey’s true status after practice on Friday. If McCaffrey were to miss this week, it’s likely you’d see some form of committee at running back between D’Onta Foreman and Chuba Hubbard.

Ankle injury for ASB

#Lions WR Amon-Ra St. Brown (ankle) and RB D’Andre Swift (ankle+ shoulder) missed practice for a second straight day. Pro Bowl G Jonah Jackson (finger), WR D.J. Chark (ankle) and K Austin Seibert (groin) also were out. (Ari Meirov on Twitter)

Nerdy Football Analysis: We’re expecting Swift to miss this week based on comments by head coach Dan Campbell earlier in the week. The Lions are dealing with multiple injuries at wide receiver and could be depleted at the position in their matchup against the Seahawks. Josh Reynolds may have some Flex value if ASB sits.

Back, ankle injuries

#Dolphins QB Tua Tagovailoa ?” listed as questionable with back and ankle issues ?” is expected to play tonight against the #Bengals, barring a setback, per sources.

WR Jaylen Waddle (groin) and LT Terron Armstead (toe) should be good to go, too. (Tom Pelissero on Twitter)

Nerdy Football Analysis: Tua looked a little wobbly after slamming his head on the ground in last weeks game against the Bills. Sounds like he’s going to give it a go on Thursday night football against the Bengals. Cincinnati has given up the fourth fewest fantasy points to quarterbacks through three weeks.

Quad injury

Matt Rhule said it’s a quad injury for Christian McCaffrey. Didn’t know about it until after Saints’ game. Wouldn’t speculate on his status for this week. (Joe Person on Twitter)

Nerdy Football Analysis: McCaffrey did some rehab work on Wednesday. At this point it doesn’t appear to be anything serious but we’ll have a better idea after practice tomorrow.
