Brandin Cooks (DAL) Injury Update
Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Brandin Cooks hasn't played since Week 4 due to a knee infection. He was limited throughout practices last week but wasn't activated ahead of their win over Washington. He'll have another chance to be activated before Dallas' annual Thanksgiving Day game.
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,… https://t.co/b2hVik8J3K

Cooks doesn't hold much value with Cooper Rush under center. He can be left on waiver wires.
Romeo Doubs (GB) Injury Update
Green Bay wide receiver Romeo Doubs is in the league's concussion protocol after being forced to leave Sunday's victory over the San Francisco 49ers.

The Packers play the Miami Dolphins on Thanksgiving evening. With the short turnaround, Doubs is likely to be inactive. Green Bay has a handful of capable reserve receivers. There's no clear indication who of the group (Dontayvion Wicks, Bo Melton, Malik Heath) will play the most.
Josh Downs (IND) Injury Update
Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Josh Downs landed on his shoulder while being tackled and briefly left the game against Detroit. He later returned but the outlook for next week isn't as optimistic.
#Colts WR Josh Downs, who left Sunday’s game with a shoulder injury, is considered week-to-week and is a long-shot to play on Sunday against the #Patriots, source said. But the belief is he did not suffer a major injury.

If he's indeed inactive on Sunday, fantasy managers won't have Downs available until the fantasy playoffs. The Colts have a bye in Week 14.
Tyreek Hill (MIA) Injury Update
Get used to seeing Tyreek Hill on Miami's injury report. He's playing through a torn ligament in his wrist.
Here’s the Dolphins-Packers Tuesday injury report, which shows Tyreek Hill was not with the team for personal reasons. Much of everything else pretty standard in another estimation as Miami will practice in earnest Wednesday. pic.twitter.com/t5TMlubLhZ
— David Furones (@DavidFurones_) November 26, 2024
Hill was limited for Monday's practice estimation. He was not with the team on Tuesday due to personal reasons. Expect to see Hill in uniform on Thursday night when the Dolphins take the field in Green Bay.
Darnell Mooney (ATL) Injury Update
Atlanta's Darnell Mooney suffered a hamstring injury during the blowout loss to the Denver Broncos. According to reports, it's not considered a serious issue.
The Falcons are coming off their bye week, which gave Mooney extra time to recover. An update on his progress will come on Wednesday when Atlanta holds its first practice leading into its Week 13 matchup against the Los Angeles Chargers.
DeVonta Smith (PHI) Injury Update
DeVonta Smith is managing a hamstring injury that prevented him from suiting up in Week 12. There's been no update on his condition since last week. Fantasy managers should monitor practice reports and hope Smith is ready to play against a porous Baltimore pass defense.
Amon-Ra St. Brown (DET) Injury Update
Amon-Ra St. Brown got banged up during the victory over Indianapolis. He missed practice on Monday and was limited on Tuesday. Head coach Dan Campbell believes his top receiver will be active this week.
Dan Campbell said he doesn't feel any better about the three guys he was concerned about: CB Carlton Davis III, LT Taylor Decker and WR Kalif Raymond.
Feels good about RB David Montgomery and WR Amon-Ra St. Brown.

The Lions host the Bears in the early game on Thanksgiving. It's not the best matchup, especially when he's not 100%, but fantasy managers aren't sitting the Sun God.
Cedric Tillman (CLE) Injury Update
Cedric Tillman suffered a concussion against the Pittsburgh Steelers on Thursday Night Football. The good news is that Tillman has over a week to clear the league's protocol. The Browns don't play again until Monday night.
Cedric Tillman just showed signs of instability after that big hit. He is done for the day and in the concussion protocol #Browns pic.twitter.com/E5ZAfPEk9R
— Eric Friedman, MD (@sportsinjuryMD) November 22, 2024
Fantasy managers should know he's clear before the main slate kicks off on Sunday unless they have a viable backup option. The Browns are against the stingy Denver secondary, so Tillman may be a sit regardless.
