    Recent News

    Jerry Jeudy (knee) was limited in Wednesday's practice.
    This is likely just a bit of maintenance for the veteran receiver. Jeudy led the league in routes last year and is on pace to do so again. He should be good to go by the end of the week. Jeudy led the Browns with 13 targets in Week 6 but turned them into just five grabs for 43 yards. He is falling into the WR4 ranks heading into his Week 7 date with Miami.
    (Oct 15 -- NBC Sports)

    Bengals TE Tanner Hudson (concussion) will not play in Week 7 against the Steelers.
    Mike Gesicki was placed on injured reserve earlier this week, meaning Noah Fant is now the only tight end of note available for the Bengals tomorrow. Expect Joe Flacco to lock on to his start receivers versus Pittsburgh, but Fant is at least in the TE2 mix as a player who could approach a 100 percent route rate.
    (Oct 15 -- NBC Sports)

    49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan said TE George Kittle (hamstring) will return to practice today as a limited participant.
    This is great news. No word yet on whether the team expects Kittle to play this week, but his return to practice confirms that he is getting close. It is highly unlikely that he was dropped in fantasy leagues during his time on injured reserve, but double-checking his status is certainly worthwhile. The veteran tight end will immediately resume elite TE1 status the moment he retakes the field.
    (Oct 15 -- NBC Sports)

    Bengals EDGE Trey Hendrickson (hip) is questionable for Week 7 against the Steelers.
    Hendrickson did not practice once this week before receiving the questionable designation. That makes it rather unlikely he suits up for Thursday's game, though it's possible he was getting as much rest as possible before attempting to suit up. His snaps will be limited at best, though Hendrickson is the type of player who can do a lot of damage on just a few reps. The good news is that fellow Cincy EDGE Shemar Stewart has been cleared for action. He has been out since Week 2 with an ankle injury.
    (Oct 15 -- NBC Sports)

    49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan said QB Brock Purdy (toe) will return to practice today as a limited participant.
    Purdy re-injured his toe in Week 4, suiting up after just one full practice session that week. While today's limited session is a step in the right direction, it is likely the 49ers will take a more conservative approach this time around. It is, of course, possible that he is active for the 49ers' Week 7 game against the Falcons, but it would be unsurprising to see him sit out another week. Stay tuned.
