Rashard Higgins (knee) was officially a full participant in today’s practice.

Higgins looks poised to return for the first time since Week 1 after missing the last four games with a knee injury, but he’ll join a receiving corps that’s more crowded after Antonio Callaway returned from suspension. However, Callaway had a chance to come up with a touchdown (though it was not as easy of a catch as it was made out to be) in his return, so perhaps that’ll help give Higgins a leg up for the most time behind Odell Beckham Jr. and Jarvis Landry. Overall, Higgins does not need to be picked up right now.

Amari Cooper (ankle/quad) officially did not practice today.

The quad appears to clearly be the bigger issue for Cooper, but the bottom line is he’s banged up and is in serious danger of missing this Sunday night’s game against the Eagles. We’ll track Cooper’s practice status the next couple of days, but plan on him missing Week 7 for now.

Dak Prescott is in the concussion protocol.

Prescott looks like he does not think he should be in concussion protocol, but he’s getting checked out nonetheless. We’ll update you as more information becomes available on Dak’s status.

Boston Scott has been promoted to the active roster.

Scott will immediately slide in as Philly’s No. 3 back behind Jordan Howard and Miles Sanders with Darren Sproles (quad) out, and he may see snaps in the passing game as well as in the return game. That said, Scott isn’t a recommended fantasy option right now.

The Redskins are planning to start Case Keenum in Week 6, according to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport.

This isn’t a surprise for a team that says they expected to be much better than their 0-5 start to this season under Jay Gruden, and signing the veteran Keenum was a big part of the front office’s plan to compete in 2019. If there was a time to use Keenum in fantasy lineups this season, Sunday against the Dolphins would probably be the spot. But ultimately, you should be able to find a safer option for your quarterback in standard-sized leagues. There’s already been talk from interim head coach Bill Callahan that rookie Dwayne Haskins could get some playing time in Week 6.

Mason Rudolph has cleared concussion protocol.

Rudolph will be ready to go when the Steelers return from their Week 7 bye to face the Dolphins in a couple of Mondays. This is good news for JuJu Smith-Schuster and the Pittsburgh receiving corps, and it’ll be great to see Rudolph back on the field after he took the scary hit against the Ravens.

Geoff Swaim is being evaluated for a concussion.

Swaim took a big hit to the head over the middle and was down on the ground for a bit. It does not look like Swaim will return to today’s game, but hopefully he’s feeling better soon. Before leaving, Swaim had one reception for five yards.
