Anthony Richardson Injury Update
Indianapolis Colts quarterback Anthony Richardson (hip) heads into Sunday's game at Tennessee with a questionable designation, according to the team's injury report.
The former Florida Gator missed last week's game at Jacksonville because of the injury. Joe Flacco is firmly the Colts' second option if Richardson can't play in Week 6.

Jonathan Taylor Injury Update
The Indianapolis Colts already have ruled out running back Jonathan Taylor (ankle) for their Week 6 game at the Tennessee Titans.
The Colts did most of their offensive damage through the air last week at Jacksonville, but Trey Sermon and Tyler Goodson earned 10 and five carries, respectively. Ironically, Flacco had the Colts' longest carry of the day at 21 yards.
#Colts RB Jonathan Taylor:
“Oh, I’m feeling way better, which is a positive sign. Anytime you can progress throughout the week, you’re closer to getting back on the field.”
“(The pain) has gone down tremendously. That’s the biggest thing.”

Malik Nabers Injury Update
The New York Giants will be without No. 1 wide receiver Malik Nabers (concussion) as they prepare for their Week 6 game against Cincinnati, according to the team's injury report.
Nabers entered concussion protocol after New York's loss to Dallas in Week 4 and hasn't yet been cleared. Darius Slayton led New York's receivers last week with a monster performance of eight catches, 122 yards, and a touchdown on 11 targets in win at Seattle.

Davante Adams Injury Update
Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Davante Adams (hamstring) won't play in Week 6 against the Pittsburgh Steelers, the club announced Friday.
So far, Adams is still a Raider, but those days seem numbered as trade talks continue. Wide receiver Jakobi Meyers and rookie tight end Brock Bowers are tied for the team lead in targets through five games.
The #Raiders officially ruled out WR Davante Adams (hamstring) for Sunday's game vs. Pittsburgh.
WR Jakobi Meyers (ankle) and RB Zamir White (groin) are questionable. DE Maxx Crosby (ankle) is off the report and good to go.

James Cook Injury Update
Buffalo Bills running back James Cook (toe) did not practice again on Friday, according to the team's practice report.
The Bills play Monday night against the New York Jets, but fantasy managers likely will have to make lineup decisions before then. If Cook is downgraded at any point, rookie Ray Davis figures to be the lead back for Buffalo.

Rachaad White Injury Update
Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Rachaad White (foot) is listed by the team as doubtful for its Week 6 game against New Orleans.
White was downgraded during the week, so it looks as if rookie running back Bucky Irving will be the Bucs' lead back. Irving already had been cutting into White's workload and currently leads the team with 247 rushing yards.

A.J. Brown Injury Update
Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown (hamstring) is officially off the injury report as the team plays Cleveland in Week 6.
The Eagles also will return DeVonta Smith, who cleared concussion protocol. Following a bye week, the Eagles should have their full receiver repertoire for the first time since Week 1.
#Eagles WRs AJ Brown and DeVonta Smith, plus OT Lane Johnson are all off the injury report and will play.

Joe Mixon Injury Update
Houston Texans running back Joe Mixon (ankle) is expected to play Sunday, according to Aaron Wilson of KRPC in Houston.
Mixon has not played since Week 2, but he commands a massive percentage of the Texans' backfield work when healthy. In Mixon's absence, running back Dare Ogunbowale emerged as an additional pass catching option, racking up 155 receiving yards on 16 catches.
#Texans veteran running back Joe Mixon practiced again Friday, his second day in a row, and is expected to play Sunday as league sources expressed optimism he's ready for a solid workload against #Patriots, barring any unexpected setback.https://t.co/Jo3WCTNXFE

Brian Robinson Jr. Injury Update
Washington Commanders running back Brian Robinson Jr. (knee) will be a game-time decision against the Baltimore Ravens, according to Nicki Jhabvala of the Washington Post.
Robinson scored twice last week against Cleveland, albeit on just seven carries for 18 yards. With Robinson limited, running back Austin Ekeler compiled 97 total yards on nine touches, but quarterback Jayden Daniels led the team in both carries (11) and rushing yards (82).
Dan Quinn said RB Brian Robinson (knee) will be a game-time decision.

Devin Singletary Injury Update
New York Giants running back Devin Singletary (groin) is officially questionable for the club's Sunday Night Football game against Cincinnati.
Running back Tyrone Tracy Jr. looked excellent in the lead role last week, piling up 129 yards on only 18 carries. The rookie figures to keep earning carries with or without Singletary available this week.
Devin Singletary still dealing with a groin problem. Coach Brian Daboll said “we’ll see” about his starting running back.
Could be another Tyrone Tracy game. #Giants #Bengals #NFL
