Multiple reports: Odell Beckham Jr. is practicing for the Giants today.

He is currently doing things during the portion of the practice that’s open to the media. He might be listed as a limited participant in practice, but he’s definitely trending in the right direction for Monday night’s game after not practicing for about a month. OBJ, who reportedly was in a dance off last week before sitting out Sunday’s game against the Giants, should be out there on Monday against the Lions.

The Ravens have placed Danny Woodhead (hamstring) on IR.

Woodhead will almost certainly be one of the Ravens’ two designated to return players, but he’ll now miss eight weeks on Injured Reserve. The Ravens called up former Bears running back Jeremy Langford from the practice squad to take Woodhead’s spot on the 53-man roster, and Langford could get some immediate playing time for the team. Terrance West and Javorius Allen are still the best fantasy options in Baltimore’s backfield for now, and they can both be in lineups this week against Cleveland. Allen is a riskier option than West, though.

John Ross (knee) is expected to play tonight against the Texans, according to Ian Rapoport.

After missing Week 1 with a knee sprain, the lightning fast first-round pick of the Bengals looks like he’ll be on the field tonight. He’ll add a huge speed element to Cincinnati’s offense and could help free things up for A.J. Green and others, but Ross probably shouldn’t be in your fantasy lineup quite yet. He’s worth a bench spot, though.

Seahawks offensive line coach Tom Cable says Thomas Rawls brings “violence” to the running game.

The team is looking forward to getting Rawls back after he sat out Week 1 with an ankle injury. According to ESPN, Cable said of Rawls, “really when you think about his career, what he’s done, he’s going to come after it. He’s going to go after it every time he touches it.” The third-year back certainly brings a ton of energy and runs extremely hard when he gets the ball, and Seattle sounds like they might lean on that to help spark the offense. Cable also said the team needs to run more than the 15 times they did in Week 1 to have success and open up more shots down the field off play-action. Rawls has elite upside this season, but it’s probably best to see how much he plays this week against the 49ers before putting him in your lineup.

Thomas Rawls (ankle) practiced fully today.

Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll said he expects Rawls to play Sunday against the 49ers, and he will. If Rawls happens to not practice fully on Thursday or Friday, we’ll update you; but expect him to be out there in Week 2. He does offer some upside in your lineup, but there are safer options with Rawls missing the end of the preseason and playing in his first game this season.

John Brown (quad) did not practice today.

This is not a good sign, as Brown has dealt with leg issues for a while now. He wasn’t on the injury report last week, so something obviously happened; but hopefully Brown is OK and can practice tomorrow and/or Friday.

Jordan Howard (shoulder) was limited in Bears practice today.

The second-year back likely did something to his shoulder in Sunday’s loss to the Falcons, because he wasn’t on the injury report last week. He should be fine, though. We’ll update you on his practice status tomorrow.
