[PHI - RB Miles Sanders on track to play]( Source: PhiladelphiaEagles.com Philadelphia Eagles RB Miles Sanders (hamstring) fully participated in practice Friday, Sept. 18, and is not on the injury report for Week 2. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Fingers crossed for Sanders here. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 2. [TB - WR Chris Godwin still facing hurdles]() Source: ESPN - Adam Schefter Updating a previous report, Tampa Bay Buccaneers WR [Chris Godwin](=) (concussion) practiced Friday, Sept. 18, but still has not cleared the league's concussion protocol and will be listed as doubtful for the Week 2 game against the Carolina Panthers. Godwin is scheduled to go through more tests tomorrow and if doctors clear him then, he will be upgraded to questionable. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Set your lineups without Godwin this week. Scotty Miller is a good WR3/Flex if Godwin is indeed out for Week 2. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 3. [PIT - RB James Conner good to go for Week 2]() Source: NFL Network - Tom Pelissero Pittsburgh Steelers RB [James Conner](=) (ankle) was taken off the injury report Friday, Sept. 18, clearing the path for him to play in Week 2 against the Denver Broncos. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Conner will start but Benny Snell should get mixed in and Conner should feel pressure to perform after Snell looked so good in his absence last week. Conner is just a boom/bust RB2/Flex this week vs Denver. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 4. [DET - WR Kenny Golladay to miss another game]( Source: DetroitLions.com Detroit Lions WR Kenny Golladay (hamstring) did not participate in practice Friday, Sept. 18, and has been ruled out for Week 2. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Marvin Jones, TJ Hockenson and Danny Amendola could all receiver extra targets vs Green Bay and fifth-round pick Quintez Cephus will get the start outside in place of Golladay after he got 10 targets (and only 3 catches) last week. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 5. [DAL - Tyron Smith could miss game]() Source: Around The NFL Dallas Cowboys OT Tyron Smith (neck) remained out of practice Friday, Sept. 18, with a neck injury, and a decision on his Week 2 availability will be made Saturday, head coach Mike McCarthy said. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] The Cowboys are already down one starting offensive tackle for at least another week and their swing tackle is also out for an extended time. They could be down to their #4 and #5 tackles against the Falcons this week. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 6. [IND - TE Jack Doyle to sit Week 2]( Source: NFL Network - James Palmer Indianapolis Colts TE [Jack Doyle](=) (ankle) has been ruled out for Week 2 against the Minnesota Vikings, according to head coach Frank Reich. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Mo Alie-Cox is a basketball convert who could be ready for his breakout this week against the Vikings. He's worth adding in deep dynasty TE premium leagues and worth monitoring in all leagues because of Philip Rivers penchant for throwing to the tight end. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 7. [TEN - WR A.J. Brown not seen at practice](=) Source: ESPN.com - Turron Davenport Tennessee Titans WR [A.J. Brown](=) (knee) was not spotted at practice Friday, Sept. 18, according to a team beat reporter. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Brown could miss more than this week, so stay tuned. Corey Davis could get a lot more volume this week, but he is dealing with a hamstring injury. Adam Humphries has a higher PPR floor this week and Jonnu Smith looks like a good play against the Jags. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 8. [NE - WR Julian Edelman questionable]() Source: Patriots.com New England Patriots WR [Julian Edelman](=) (knee) was limited during practice Friday, Sept. 18, and is listed as questionable for Week 2. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Edelman is perpetually on the injury report but is still a good Week 2 play in PPR leagues heading to Seattle. Make sure you have a Patriot, Seahawk, Raider, or Saint on your roster as an injury hedge if you are counting on Edelman this week. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 9. [DET - Detroit's Week 2 injury report]( Source: DetroitLions.com Detroit Lions WR Kenny Golladay (hamstring) and CB Desmond Trufant (hamstring) did not participate in practice all week and have been ruled out for Week 2 against the Green Bay Packers. OG Joe Dahl (groin) did not practice Friday, Sept. 18, and has also been ruled out. TE Hunter Bryant (hamstring) was upgraded to a limited practice Friday but has been ruled out as well. OT Halapoulivaati Vaitai (foot) did not practice all week but is listed as questionable. S C.J. Moore (hamstring), CB Darryl Roberts (calf) and DT Nick Williams (shoulder) were limited Friday and also listed as questionable. LB Jason Cabinda (ankle) and CB Jeff Okudah (hamstring) practiced in full Friday and have been removed from the injury report. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Trufant being out is bad bad news for the Lions secondary, who will also be without slot corner Justin Coleman. At least the #3 overall pick Jeff Okudah will be healthy enough to make his debut, but he could face Davante Adams a lot on Sunday. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 10. [HOU - Houston's Week 2 injury report](=) Source: HoustonTexans.com Houston Texans LB Peter Kalambayi (hamstring) did not practice Friday, Sept. 18, and is listed as questionable for Week 2 against the Baltimore Ravens. WR [Brandin Cooks](=) (quad), OT Tytus Howard (ankle) and RB [Duke Johnson](=) (ankle) were limited all week and are also listed as questionable. WR [Will Fuller](=) (non-injury) did not participate in practice Friday but is expected to play. DE J.J. Watt (hip) was limited in practice all week but no longer appears on the injury report. LB Jonathan Greenard (ankle) and FB Cullen Gillaspia (hamstring) practiced in full Friday and have also been removed from the injury report. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Cooks being questionable against this Ravens secondary is more than enough reason to keep him on your bench. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 11. [DEN - Week 2 injury report for Denver](=) Source: DenverBroncos.com Denver Broncos LB Mark Barron (hamstring) and RB [Phillip Lindsay](=) (toe) did not practice all week and have been ruled out for Week 2 versus the Pittsburgh Steelers. OT Garett Bolles (elbow), WR [Tyrie Cleveland](=) (hip) and WR Courtland Sutton (shoulder) were limited in practice all week and are listed as questionable. S Kareem Jackson (non-injury), S Trey Marshall (wrist), LB Bradley Chubb (knee), WR KJ Hamler (hamstring), TE Albert Okwuegbunam (hip) and TE [Jake Butt](=) (hand) practiced in full Friday, Sept. 18, and have been removed from the injury report. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Melvin Gordon will be the clear lead back vs. the stout Steelers defense and Royce Freeman will get a shot at redemption in place of Lindsay. Sutton will be a game time decision. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 12. [LAR - WR Robert Woods gets his payday](=) Source: NFL Network - Ian Rapoport Los Angeles Rams WR [Robert Woods](=) agreed to terms on a four-year contract extension worth a reported $65 million on Friday, Sept. 18. The deal reportedly includes $32 million guaranteed. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Woods has been more than worth the five year, 34 million dollar deal he signed back in 2017. The Rams will keep Woods and Cooper Kupp for upcoming years even though they took Van Jefferson in the second round this year. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 13. [NYG - NY Giants' Week 2 injury report]( Source: ChicagoBears.com New York Giants DB Adrian Colbert (quad) did not practice Friday, Sept. 18, and has been ruled out for Week 2 against the Chicago Bears. LB Carter Coughlin (hamstring) and WR [Golden Tate](=) (hamstring) were limited in practice Friday and are listed as questionable. LB Tae Crowder (hamstring) was a participant in practice all week and no longer appears on the injury report. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Tate could return this week but the Giants have five viable targets in the passing game and the offensive line might not be ready to maximize passing game production. He's a low ceiling WR3/Flex who is best left on your bench until we se him regain form. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 14. [WAS - Week 2 injury report for Washington]( Source: WashingtonFootball.com Washington Football Team LB Cole Holcomb (knee) did not practice Friday, Sept. 18, and has been ruled out for Week 2 versus the Arizona Cardinals. CB Kendall Fuller (knee) was downgraded to a limited practice Friday and is listed as questionable. LB Thomas Davis (calf) practiced in full all week and is also listed as questionable. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Fuller had gotten in full practices on Wednesday and Thursday, so the downgrade is worrisome but if he can return against Arizona, it would be a huge boost for the secondary. Davis will provide a veteran presence among the linebackers if he can go this week. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 15. [BAL - Baltimore's Week 2 injury report]( Source: BaltimoreRavens.com Baltimore Ravens DT Justin Madubuike (knee) and WR Chris Moore (finger) did not practice all week and have been ruled out for Week 2 against the Houston Texans. CB Jimmy Smith (hip) was limited in practice for a second straight day Friday, Sept. 18, and is listed as questionable. OT Ronnie Stanley (hip) and RB Justice Hill (thigh) were upgraded to a full practice Friday but are also listed as questionable. DE Calais Campbell (non-injury) and DT Brandon Williams (non-injury) were not given practice designations Friday while LB Pernell McPhee (non-injury) did not practice, but all three are expected to play. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Stanley is a cornerstone of the line so the Ravens will be hoping to have him against JJ Watt and the Texans this week. He left last week's game with an ankle injury (even though he's listed with a hip this week) and DJ Fluker replaced him. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 16. [LAR - Week 2 injury report for LA Rams](=) Source: TheRams.com Los Angeles Rams TE [Gerald Everett](=) (back) was upgraded to a full practice Friday, Sept. 18, and is listed as questionable for Week 2 versus the Philadelphia Eagles. OL Andrew Whitworth (non-injury) practiced in full for a second straight day Friday and no longer appears on the injury report. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Tyler Higbee is still a weak play at tight end as long as Everett is out there [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 17. [CAR - Week 2 injury report for Carolina]() Source: Panthers.com Carolina Panthers OG Dennis Daley (ankle), DT Kawann Short (foot) and DE Yetur Gross-Matos (concussion) did not practice Friday, Sept. 18, and have been ruled out for Week 2 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. WR Pharoh Cooper (ribs), CB Donte Jackson (ankle), LB Shaq Thompson (groin) and DE Stephen Weatherly (hamstring) practiced in full all week and no longer appear on the injury report. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Jackson's return is good news for the Panthers defense that will be stressed by defending Tom Brady and the Bucs pass offense this week. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 18. [KC - Kansas City's Week 2 injury report]( Source: Chiefs.com Kansas City Chiefs DE Alex Okafor (hamstring), DT Khalen Saunders (elbow) and CB Charvarius Ward (hand) did not practice all week and have been ruled out for Week 2 against the Los Angeles Chargers. C Austin Reiter (knee), DT Derrick Nnadi (ankle), OG Kelechi Osemele (knee), S Juan Thornhill (knee) and RB [Darrel Williams](=) (hamstring) practiced in full all week and no longer appear on the injury report. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] The Chiefs will have to use their depth on the defensive line and in the secondary, but it might not matter against a Chargers offense that had trouble moving the ball against the Bengals defense that just got tore up by the Browns. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 19. [LVR - Las Vegas' Friday practice report](=) Source: Raiders.com Las Vegas Raiders OT Trent Brown (calf), LB Nick Kwiatkoski (pectoral), WR [Henry Ruggs](=) III (knee), OT Sam Young (groin) and S Lamarcus Joyner (non-injury) did not participate in practice Friday, Sept. 18. OG Richie Incognito (Achilles) and OG John Simpson (shoulder) were limited. CB Damon Arnette (wrist, thumb), RB [Josh Jacobs](=) (ankle) and DE Arden Key (knee) practiced in full. C Rodney Hudson (non-injury) and TE [Jason Witten](=) (non-injury) were not given a practice designation. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Ruggs returned to the game after hurting his knee last week but might not be ready to go this week. Nelson Agholor would probably slide into the starting lineup if Ruggs can't go. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 20. [TB - Week 2 injury report for Tampa Bay](=) Source: Buccaneers.com Tampa Bay Buccaneers TE Antony Auclair (calf) did not practice for a second straight day Friday, Sept. 18, and has been ruled out for Week 2 versus the Carolina Panthers. WR [Chris Godwin](=) (concussion) was upgraded to a limited practice Friday and is listed as doubtful. DL Ndamukong Suh (non-injury) did not practice Friday but was removed from the injury report. WR [Mike Evans](=) (hamstring), OT Donovan Smith (knee) and S Jordan Whitehead (elbow) practiced in full Friday and no longer appear on the injury report. LB Jason Pierre-Paul (non-injury) was not given a practice designation Friday but is also expected to play. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Evans is off of the injury report this week and primed for a Top 5 week with Godwin likely out. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 21. [CHI - Chicago's injury report for Week 2]( Source: ChicagoBears.com Chicago Bears LB Khalil Mack (knee) was limited in practice all week and is listed as questionable for Week 2 against the New York Giants. LB Robert Quinn (ankle) was upgraded to a full practice Friday, Sept. 18, and is also listed as questionable. WR [Ted Ginn](=) Jr. (rest), TE [Jimmy Graham](=) (rest) and DT Akiem Hicks (illness) practiced in full Friday and have been removed from the injury report. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Mack doesn't seem to be 100% and Quinn missed last week, so this isn't a full strength Bears pass rush. Daniel Jones should have an easier time of it than he did versus the Steelers on Monday night. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 22. [MIN - Week 2 injury report for Minnesota](=) Source: Vikings.com Minnesota Vikings CB Cameron Dantzler (rib) did not practice all week and has been ruled out for Week 2 versus the Indianapolis Colts. CB Jeff Gladney (knee) and WR [Olabisi Johnson](=) (knee) practiced in full all week and have been removed from the injury report. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Dantzler was part of a poor performance by the Vikings secondary last week but things can certainly get worse without him. He was a third round pick this year, but playing ahead of Gladney, the first rounder. Gladney will get a chance to redeem himself this week. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 23. [SF - San Francisco's Week 2 injury report]() Source: 49ers.com San Francisco 49ers TE [George Kittle](=) (knee) and CB Jason Verrett (hamstring) did not practice all week and have been ruled out for Week 2 against the New York Jets. DL Dee Ford (neck) did not practice for a second straight day Friday, Sept. 18, and is listed as questionable. CB Ahkello Witherspoon (concussion), WR Brandon Aiyuk (hamstring) and OL Ben Garland (ankle) practiced in full Friday and no longer appear on the injury report. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Jordan Reed will get the start for Kittle, but Kendrick Bourne and Brandon Aiyuk should also get a potential boost in targets this week. Ford will have a chance to tee off on Sam Darnold if he plays. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 24. [PHI - RB Devonta Freeman meets with Philly]( Source: ESPN.com - Field Yates Free-agent RB Devonta Freeman (Falcons) worked out for the Philadelphia Eagles on Friday, Sept. 18. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] This is curious with Miles Sanders due back this week. Freeman may still be waiting until next week or later to be signed. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 25. [WAS - OC preaches patience with Antonio Gibson]( Source: The Athletic - Ben Standig Washington Football Team [Antonio Gibson](=)'s role will 'continue to grow,' according to offensive coordinator Scott Turner.'He's a young player. ... As a rookie, you don't want to overwork those guys up with them in two much of the situation early. I think his role will continue to grow. ... The way the snaps went, with Peyton (Barber) we finished the game in a four-minute situation where we basically ran the ball to use the clock at the end. That's why (Barber's) snap count was so high,' Turner said. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Gibson isn't a safe play at Arizona this week, but definitely don't drop him in redraft leagues. He could come on to be very valuable if Washington creates as many goal line opportunities as they did last week when Peyton Barber scored twice even though he only gained 29 yards on 17 carries. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 26. [IND - WR Zach Pascal listed as questionable](=) Source: Colts.com Indianapolis Colts WR [Zach Pascal](=) (ankle) fully participated in practice Thursday, Sept. 18, but is listed as questionable for Week 2. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Pascal could be close to a full-time player this week with Michael Pittman also banged up, but he has to be active first. Ashton Dulin and Daurice Fountain are the next men up at wide receiver. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 27. [LAC - LA Chargers' injury report for Week 2]() Source: Chargers.com Los Angeles Chargers RB [Justin Jackson](=) (quad) did not practice all week and is listed as doubtful for Week 2 versus the Kansas City Chiefs. TE Donald Parham (illness) returned to a full practice Friday, Sept. 18, and has been removed from the injury report. DE Joey Bosa (triceps), CB Casey Hayward (knee), OG Trai Turner (knee), WR [Mike Williams](=) (shoulder) and QB [Tyrod Taylor](=) (ribs) also practiced in full Friday and no longer appear on the injury report. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Jackson could lose his job to Joshua Kelley for good due to this latest injury if Kelley performs well in his absence. It's great to see Williams off of the injury report with no setbacks after he threw his body around against the Bengals in Week 1. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 28. [PIT - Pittsburgh's injury report for Week 2]() Source: Steelers.com Pittsburgh Steelers OL Stefen Wisniewski (chest) and OG David DeCastro (knee) did not practice all week and have been ruled out for Week 2 against the Denver Broncos. QB [Ben Roethlisberger](=) (coach's decision), WR [Diontae Johnson](=) (toe), WR [JuJu Smith-Schuster](=) (knee), RB [James Conner](=) (ankle), C Maurkice Pouncey (coach's decision), OT Alejandro Villanueva (illness) and DE Stephon Tuitt (Achilles) practiced in full Friday, Sept. 18, and no longer appear on the injury report. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] The Steelers will be starting Kevin Dotson and Chuks Okorafor on the offensive line against the Broncos. They have used up their depth on the offensive line and we are only headed into Week 2. This could be a problem as we get further into the season. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 29. [NO - Friday's practice report for New Orleans]() Source: NewOrleansSaints.com New Orleans Saints DE Marcus Davenport (elbow) and WR [Michael Thomas](=) (ankle) did not practice for a second straight day Friday, Sept. 18. LB Chase Hansen (hip) was added to the injury report and was limited. WR [Emmanuel Sanders](=) (non-injury), OL Cesar Ruiz (ankle) and S P.J. Williams (hamstring) practiced in full. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Thomas could pay with no practice, but we still expect him to miss Monday night against the Raiders. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 30. [GB - DT Kenny Clark ruled out]() Source: Packers.com - Wes Hodkiewicz Green Bay Packers DL Kenny Clark (groin) been ruled out for Week 2 against the Detroit Lions, according to head coach Matt LaFleur. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Clark is a stand out on the Packers defensive line, which gives the Lions offense a boost in a week that they are going to need it. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 31. [TEN - Darrynton Evans out Week 2](=) Source: ESPN.com - Turron Davenport Tennessee Titans RB Darrynton Evans (hamstring) on Friday, Sept. 18, was ruled out of the team's Week 2 game against the Jacksonville Jaguars with a hamstring injury. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Khari Blasingame and Senorise Perry will back up Henry, but don't be surprised if he gets 30 carries again this week vs Jacksonville. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 32. [NYJ - WR Jamison Crowder ruled out]( Source: ESPNNewYork.com - Rich Cimini New York Jets WR [Jamison Crowder](=) (hamstring) has been ruled out for Week 2. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Braxton Berrios will get extended snaps in the slot in place of Crowder. Chris Herndon should be a target hog for this offense vs the 49ers. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 33. [MIA - WR DeVante Parker's status to be GTD]( Source: ProFootballTalk.com - Josh Alper Miami Dolphins WR [DeVante Parker](=) (hamstring) was a limited participant in practice Friday, Sept. 18, and head coach Brian Flores said his status for Week 2 will come down to a game-time decision Sunday. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Parker is at risk of being limited or leaving the game due to an aggravation and he's likely to face Tre'Davious White when he is on the field. Preston Williams outlook will be improved if Parker goes, but he might not be a great play anyway after he looked not 100% recovered from his ACL surgery in Week 1. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 34. [IND - Michael Pittman Jr. uncertain for Week 2]() Source: Colts.com - Andrew Walker Indianapolis Colts WR [Michael Pittman](=) Jr. (toe) had an 'incident' with his toe in practice earlier this week, and the team appears to be willing to make him a game-time decision for Week 2 versus the Minnesota Vikings, according to Andrew Walker of the team's website. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Zach Pascal could be close to a full-time player this week and TY Hilton and Parris Campbell will be full time players with the Colts tight ends also depleted. Hilton and Campbell are strong WR2 plays against a poor Vikings secondary. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- That'll do it for today, Folks.
