Fantasy Football Injury Updates

Check out the latest NFL injury news and notes around fantasy football.

Nick Chubb (knee) limited at practice Wednesday
Nick Chubb (knee) was limited at Cleveland’s practice on Wednesday.

Fantasy Impact

Chubb was a limited participant at Wednesday’s practice due to a knee injury. He’s still working on ramping up after missing over a year while on injured reserve, and he is set to be back at some point in the next couple of weeks. His return will mean a lot less work for Jerome Ford moving forward.

Michael Pittman Jr. (back) may be placed on IR
Michael Pittman Jr. (back) is set to be out for several weeks and is a candidate to be placed on injured reserve.

Fantasy Impact

Pittman recently suffered some kind of a back injury and is set to be sidelined for several weeks. He’s reportedly a candidate to land on the team’s injured reserve, which would leave him sidelined for a minimum of four weeks. Josh Downs has been playing well lately and is a prime candidate to see more work in Pittman’s extended absence.

Christian Watson (ankle) officially limited Wednesday
Christian Watson (ankle) was officially limited at Wednesday’s practice for the Packers.

Fantasy Impact

Watson suffered a high-ankle sprain a couple of weeks ago, but he was able to log a limited practice on Wednesday. It’s unclear if he’s going to be able to make his return in Week 6, and if he’s unable to play, Dontayvion Wicks should continue to see more work in his absence.
