Marquise Brown has been placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list.

The Ravens are losing Brown just two days after he caught the game-winning touchdown against the Browns, along with fellow youngsters Miles Boykin and James Proche. Because of the new rules, we believe all three will be out in Week 15, but Baltimore will hope they can beat Jacksonville with a run-heavy game plan.

Julian Edelman (knee) has returned to practice.

This activates Edelman’s 21-day practice window as he looks to return to the field this season. Patriots head coach Bill Belichick said earlier today that Edelman is in a “day-to-day” situation, though it’s difficult to read too much into updates from the team, which protects its players’ privacy regarding injuries. Especially in deeper leagues, Edelman is worth a speculative add if available in case he returns sooner than later.

George Kittle (foot) had his practice window activated.

Kittle can now practice throughout the rest of the regular season, with a realistic shot to get activated before Week 17. There might be a shot Kittle is even ready for this Sunday against the Cowboys, and this move being made on Wednesday to start the official week of practice is a good sign. If Kittle is somehow available in your league, pick him up.

The Dolphins activated Matt Breida off the reserve/COVID-19 list.

Miami is extremely beat up at running back, so it’s great that Breida is back in the mix. Ultimately, it might be difficult to play any of the Dolphins running backs aside from Myles Gaskin (if he can get on the field) given the uncertain backfield spilt.

Daniel Jones is dealing with an ankle injury, according to head coach Joe Judge.

Jones—who entered Week 14 with a hamstring issue—also picked up an ankle injury in the first half, so he’s in doubt for Sunday night’s game against the Browns after clearly not being himself last week. If the second-year quarterback doesn’t play, Colt McCoy would draw the start as he hopes to pick up another upset victory after beating the Seahawks a couple of weeks ago.

The Panthers activated D.J. Moore from the reserve/COVID-19 list.

This was the expectation, and it’s good to hear it’s official. Moore can now practice the next two days ahead of a Saturday night matchup against the Packers. For the second week of the fantasy playoffs, Moore can immediately be inserted into fantasy lineups in a game Carolina might have to put up some points to keep up with Green Bay.

La’Mical Perine (ankle) has been designated to return from injured reserve.

Because of the 21-day practice window before Perine must be taken off injured reserve, he’s fully expected back in the final three weeks. The rookie runner can be activated at any time, so he may get back in the swing of things during practice this week before playing this Sunday against the Rams.
