Geno Smith (hip/knee) not expected to miss time
Geno Smith reportedly underwent testing that did not reveal anything significant and he isn’t expected to miss any time.

Fantasy Impact

Smith was expected to undergo testing after missing the previous two practices due to multiple injuries. The Seahawks won’t rush him back, but he isn’t expected to miss an extended period of time. Smith enters this season with one of the best group of offensive weapons in the league and in a new offense under new offensive coordinator Ryan Grubb.

D’Onta Foreman (neck) back with Browns’ Friday, not practicing
D’Onta Foreman is officially back with the Browns on Friday.

Fantasy Impact

Foreman isn’t practicing, but it’s a good sign he is with the team to begin with. Cleveland won’t rush him back following the scary incident during Thursday’s practice where he had to be taken off the field and to the hospital. Foreman is expected to open the season in a short-yardage role when healthy.
