Julio Jones (hamstring) did not practice today.

The way this is being worded by the Falcons makes it sound like Julio will certainly not play this Sunday against the Saints. We’ll see how Jones is listed on the final Week 13 injury report when it’s out tomorrow, but prepare for the All-Pro to miss his second consecutive game.

The Texans designated David Johnson (concussion) for return from injured reserve.

The 21-day practice window for Johnson is now activated, but we anticipate the he’ll be added to the 53-man roster and will return for this Sunday against the Colts. Houston’s rushing attack has not been very productive, but DJ is worth strong consideration as add if he happens to be available in your league.

Brandon Aiyuk has been activated from the reserve/COVID-19 list.

Aiyuk missed one game for his second stint on the COVID-19 list, but he’ll return and give the Niners another boost as they look to make a playoff run down the stretch. San Francisco will likely look to get both Deebo Samuel and Aiyuk the ball often moving forward.

Tua Tagovailoa (thumb) was officially limited in today’s practice.

The Dolphins are still unsure about Tua’s status for Week 13, but it’s tough to feel great about it unless he can get up to a full practice by Friday. Miami is fortunate to have veteran Ryan Fitzpatrick ready to go again if Tua can’t play this Sunday.

The Steelers elevated Wendell Smallwood to the active roster.

Smallwood is a COVID replacement, with James Conner on the reserve/COVID-19 list. Benny Snell is expected to lead the Pittsburgh backfield today against the Ravens, and Smallwood will likely make just a real-life impact as opposed to a fantasy impact.

The Eagles activated J.J. Arcega-Whiteside from the reserve/COVID-19 list.

Arcega-Whiteside had been a healthy scratch for the Eagles, so this doesn’t have a big impact from a fantasy perspective. But it’s good to hear JJAW has been cleared and can get back with his teammates.

The Eagles activated Zach Ertz (ankle) from injured reserve.

Ertz missed five games with his ankle injury, but he’s set to return this Sunday against the Packers. It’s tough to gauge Ertz’s fantasy value in his return, as Dallas Goedert has played well as Philly’s top tight end, and Ertz wasn’t as productive as usual early this season when he was on the field.
