JuJu Smith-Schuster (toe) officially did not practice today.

This is JuJu’s second straight missed practice, and he’s in a similar situation to teammate James Conner after they both finished last Monday’s game with their respective injuries. We would think Smith-Schuster will suit up on Sunday, but check back tomorrow for his official Week 5 status on the final injury report.

Brandin Cooks has cleared concussion protocol.

Cooks is off the Week 6 injury report and is good to go for Sunday against the 49ers. In a game where the Rams might rely even more on their passing attack with Todd Gurley (thigh) likely out, Cooks is a strong fantasy option with a solid mix of floor and upside for Week 6.

Tevin Coleman (ankle) is officially questionable for Week 5.

Head coach Kyle Shanahan says the team is optimistic he can play, but Coleman’s status cannot be taken for granted having only gotten limited practices in this week. If he suits up, Coleman will be a high-upside, volatile FLEX option as he splits time with at least Matt Breida and Raheem Mostert.

Aaron Jones scores four touchdowns against the Cowboys.

Jones carried 19 times for 107 yards and four touchdowns along with seven receptions for 75 yards in Green Bay’s 34-24 Week 5 win at Dallas. Throughout the game, Jones had little trouble picking up positive yardage on a Cowboys defense that seemed almost surprised at their own performance, and the third-year running back routinely beat bad angles taken by defenders. Jones became the first player to ever rush for four touchdowns in a game against the Cowboys, and he now has a touchdown in four consecutive games and is already up to eight rushing scores through five games this season. The touchdown pace is likely to slow, but Jones should be more consistent running the ball after he was held to 19 and 21 yards in the previous two games before this breakout. Matt Patricia and the Lions are going to want to stop the run in Week 6, but Jones needs to remain in fantasy lineups.

James Conner (ankle) officially did not practice today.

Conner was able to continue playing last Monday night after hurting his ankle, but perhaps it was the adrenaline that helped him get through. He’s missed the last two practices and at least looks to be in some doubt for Week 5 against the Ravens. We expect Conner will end up playing, but hopefully he’s able to hit the practice field in some capacity tomorrow ahead of the final injury report for the week being released.

The Giants have waived Jon Hilliman.

They signed veteran Javorius Allen in a corresponding move, but Hilliman may be signed back to the practice squad. New York is hoping to have Saquon Barkley (ankle) and Wayne Gallman (concussion) back in Week 7.

The Bears promoted Tyler Bray to the practice squad.

With starting quarterback Mitchell Trubisky (left shoulder) out for Chicago, Bray will backup Chase Daniel for tomorrow’s Week 5 game in London.
