Jacksonville Jaguars tight end Tyler Eifert (neck) was held out of Thursday's practice as he continues to work his way back from a neck injury.

Jesse Borek 4 years agoJordan Akins Trending Toward Another Absence Sunday
Houston Texans tight end Jordan Akins (ankle, concussion) was held out of practice Thursday, a trend that indicates that he could miss his third consecutive game Sunday when his squad faces Green Bay.

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Sammy Watkins (hamstring) once again did not practice Thursday, putting his status for Sunday's contest against Denver up in the air.

For the second consecutive day Thursday, Jacksonville Jaguars wide receivers DJ Chark Jr. (ankle) and Laviska Shenault Jr. (hamstring) were both limited practice participants.

New Orleans Saints tight end Jared Cook was quarterback Drew Brees’ primary red-zone threat while wide receiver Michael Thomas remained sidelined, but with the All-Pro wideout expected back Sunday versus Carolina, Cook’s time as a TE1 in season-long formats may have passed.

Jesse Borek 4 years agoRussell Wilson Faces Historically Stingy Matchup Sunday
Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson has made each of the five defenses that he has faced in 2020 look rather pedestrian on his way to becoming the favorite to claim the NFL’s MVP trophy this season.

Las Vegas Raiders running back Josh Jacobs is likely fresh after having his week off, but that won’t change the fact that he’ll be squaring off with the NFL’s premier run-stuffing unit Sunday in the form of the Buccaneers Defense.
