The Titans have waived Josh Reynolds, according to NFL Network’s Mike Garafolo.

Reynolds requested his release from the team, and the veteran—once thought to be the No. 2 wideout in Tennessee before they traded for Julio Jones—is having it granted. There should be a few teams that consider adding Reynolds for the final two months, but he’s unlikely to land somewhere that would carry significant fantasy value in redraft leagues.

Demetric Felton has tested positive for COVID-19, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter.

Felton is positive along with Nick Chubb, and it wouldn’t be a surprise if D’Ernest Johnson eventually followed suit—though he’s in the clear for now and positioned to be the feature back on Sunday. Hopefully everyone is feeling OK and this doesn’t turn into a bigger issue for the Browns.

Nick Chubb has COVID-19, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter.

Chubb tested positive for the virus, but he’s vaccinated, so he’ll have a shot at returning in time for Sunday if he can get two negative tests. That said, it seems unlikely based on how the protocols have worked so far this season, which should have fantasy owners preparing for a backup plan. Even with no practice time, Chubb would be a top-five play at running back if he can get cleared for Week 10.

Damien Williams (knee) is officially inactive for the Bears.

Williams is considered week-to-week with his knee issue, but the good news for Chicago is that Davis Montgomery (knee) is back in the lineup tonight against the Steelers.

Jacob Harris (knee) is out for the season.

Harris was injured while covering a punt and unfortunately suffered a freak type of injury, tearing his ACL and MCL. The rookie mostly played on special teams this season, only getting under two dozen snaps on offense. We wish him luck on his recovery.

The Panthers have waived Royce Freeman.

Carolina is set with Chuba Hubbard as the No. 2 running back with Christian McCaffrey now healthy, so Freeman will now his waivers. Even if he’s not claimed, the former third-round pick should be able to land with a new team soon, and Tennessee comes to mind as possible depth behind Adrian Peterson.

Jordan Wilkins has signed with the Jaguars practice squad.

Wilkins should have a good chance of eventually being added to the active roster behind James Robinson and Carlos Hyde, especially considering the value he brings on special teams. Jacksonville will notably take on the Colts in Week 10, so Wilkins can also provide some intel on his former team.
