Jordan Mason Injury Update
Mason (shoulder) upgraded to a full participant on Friday. He has made solid progress, and the shoulder injury he suffered on Thursday Night Football against the Seahawks won't force him out of any games. The young running back will suit up this week against the Chiefs.

Jonathan Taylor Injury Update
Taylor (ankle) remained sidelined for all three practices this week. He will be inactive on Sunday against the Miami Dolphins, opening the door for Trey Sermon and Tyler Goodson to earn more touches.

Brian Robinson Jr. Injury Update
Robinson (knee) was limited in practice all week long and is officially questionable for Sunday's game against the Panthers. He will suit in Week 7, ranking as a mid-to-low RB1 if he plays. We believe he's trending toward suiting up this week.

Joe Mixon Injury Update
Mixon (ankle) logged a full practice on Friday after he had previously recorded back-to-back limited practices. The Texans' top running back will play in Week 7 and should continue to be deployed as a low-end RB1 in most fantasy leagues.

Aaron Jones Injury Update
Jones (hamstring) finished the week with two consecutive limited practices. The veteran is listed as questionable but has a good chance to play against the Lions.

Rhamondre Stevenson Injury Update
Stevenson (foot) is a peculiar case because he missed last week's game and missed practice on Wednesday and Thursday, but then he logged a full practice on Friday. The Patriots have listed him as questionable entering the weekend.

Nick Chubb Injury Update
Chubb (knee) is officially questionable to play in Week 7. He logged three full practices, but the Browns still labeled him as "questionable" while they decide whether to activate him from injured reserve on Saturday.

Jonathon Brooks Injury Update
Brooks (knee) fluctuated between missing practice and participating in a limited capacity this week. It seems like the Panthers will wait until he's able to practice in full before they activate him from the non-football injury list. As a result, they ruled him out for Week 7 against the Commanders.

Travis Etienne Jr. Injury Update
Etienne (hamstring) is officially questionable for Week 7 after being limited in practice all week long. Even if he plays this week, he'll be impossible to justify starting in fantasy football.

Jerome Ford Injury Update
Ford (hamstring) has been ruled out for Week 7 after missing three consecutive practices. This backfield will likely belong to D'Onta Foreman and Nick Chubb.

Rachaad White Injury Update
White (foot) was limited for the second consecutive practice on Friday. It's looking more likely that the Buccaneers use a three-pronged committee of White, Bucky Irving, and Sean Tucker if White is able to suit up this week.

Trey Sermon Injury Update
Sermon (knee) started as a non-participant Wednesday, was limited Thursday, and managed to log a full practice Friday. He'll suit up against the Dolphins in Week 7, ranking as a low-end RB3/FLEX with Jonathan Taylor (ankle) sidelined.

Devin Singletary Injury Update
Singletary (groin) has been removed from the injury report after logging a limited practice on Friday. Ever since picking up his injury, the veteran has lost significant volume to Tyrone Tracy Jr., who has played incredibly well.

Tyjae Spears Injury Update
Spears (hamstring) has been ruled out after missing all three practices in Week 7. This development was widely expected and opens the door for Julius Chestnut to handle more touches as Austin Ekeler's backup.

Zamir White Injury Update
White (groin) logged a full practice on Friday but is still listed as questionable to play in Week 7 against the Rams. If he suits up, he'd likely have a scaled-back row, keeping him off the fantasy radar in most formats.

Darrynton Evans Injury Update
Evans (hamstring) is doubtful to play in Week 7 despite being a full participant in practice. Until the Bills activate him from injured reserve, he's a low-end depth piece in Buffalo.
