Smith his now in concussion protocol and will have a week to get cleared for next Sunday’s game against the Titans. Smith had one carry for no yards before leaving today’s game.

Vance McDonald (shoulder) officially did not practice today.

This is the first official practice of the week for the Steelers, as they play on Monday night for Week 4, so it’s not a huge deal that McDonald isn’t practicing. Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin is hopeful that McDonald can play against the Bengals, but he’s probably 50/50 at this point. We’ll update you with McDonald’s practice status the next couple of days.

LeSean McCoy (ankle) is questionable to return for the Chiefs.

McCoy entered the game with an ankle injury, and his day is probably done. Working as the starter and clear top running back with Damien Williams (knee) out, McCoy received most of the critical work and scoring opportunities and had eight carries for 54 yards and a touchdown along with three receptions for 26 yards and a touchdown.

Dalvin Cook goes over 100 rushing yards again in Week 3.

Cook carried 16 times for 110 yards and one touchdown while adding four receptions for 33 yards in Minnesota’s 34-14 win over Oakland. The Raiders were playing strong run defense entering the game, but they were no match for Cook and the Vikings. The Florida State product has gone over 110 rushing yards with a touchdown in each of the first three games, becoming the fifth player in league history to accomplish the feat, joining four Hall of Famers (Jim Brown, O.J. Simpson, Emmitt Smith, and Curtis Martin). Cook is clearly an elite RB1 right now, and he’s probably the favorite to lead the league in rushing in 2019. Durability was the concern entering the year, but fantasy owners that selected Cook early in fantasy drafts must be thrilled to this point.

Julian Edelman (chest) has been ruled out for the rest of today’s game.

This isn’t a surprise with with the Patriots up 30-7 in the fourth quarter, but now we just have to hope this isn’t an injury that’ll keep Edelman out for longer than today. Before leaving, Edelman caught seven passes for 62 yards and a touchdown, with the score coming in the red zone on an out-breaking route.

A.J. Green (ankle) won’t practice this week.

Green was not expected to play this Monday night against the Steelers, but it would have been nice if he was able to practice on a limited basis. Consider the Pro Bowl receiver week-to-week as he looks to get to 100% and on the field for the Bengals. Green might just need a week of practice before playing in a game.

Rashaad Penny (hamstring) is officially inactive for the Seahawks.

Penny injured his hamstring in Friday’s practice, so this was expected. Chris Carson should get a heavy workload against the Saints, with C.J. Prosise mixing in. Carson is basically in must-start territory, while Prosise could provide some FLEX values in PPR leagues in particular.
