It’s a relatively quiet Thursday on the injury front compared to the flurry of Patriots and Rams news from the last two days, but Wednesday’s practice reports added two notable names to the board: A.J. Brown and Amon-Ra St. Brown both picked up fresh Questionable tags overnight. Elsewhere, Houston’s backfield picture is starting to come into focus as David Montgomery inches closer to a return from his groin injury.
Status At a Glance

|---|---|---|---|
| A.J. Brown | NE / WR | 🟡 Feed: Questionable | Hold; wait for Friday’s report before deciding |

Our tiers are editorial availability-risk calls, not NFL designations: 🟢 trending toward playing · 🟡 availability uncertain · 🔴 elevated risk of missing, or confirmed out · ⚪ bye. Questionable/Doubtful/Out appear only where a team’s final injury report has been released; other labels reflect confirmed practice reports through Wednesday, Nov. 11 where we have them, and our injury feed as of Thursday morning otherwise.
Wide Receivers
🟡 Feed: Questionable — A.J. Brown (NE): Brown missed New England’s Week 9 loss to Green Bay with a knee issue and was a non-participant in practice for most of that week. Our injury feed flipped him to Questionable in the early hours of Thursday morning, ahead of the Patriots’ trip to Munich to face Detroit on Sunday. We haven’t yet confirmed this week’s New England practice report, so treat the tag as a feed read rather than a confirmed designation until Friday’s official word lands. Fantasy Action: Hold him on your bench and lean on Friday’s official word; DeMario Douglas is the depth option in New England’s wideout room if Brown sits again.
🟡 Limited Wed — Amon-Ra St. Brown (DET): St. Brown worked through a rib injury in a limited practice session Wednesday, per a team report, the same pattern that preceded a Questionable tag ahead of Detroit’s Week 9 win over Miami. He played through it that week, and with the Lions traveling for Sunday’s international game against New England, there’s no indication yet this is more serious. Fantasy Action: Keep him in your lineup as a true WR1; just have a late-window streamer like Konata Mumpfield or Caleb Douglas on standby in case Friday’s report says otherwise.
🟡 Concussion protocol — Garrett Wilson (NYJ): Wilson remains in the concussion protocol after picking up the injury last week, and he needs to clear independent evaluation before he can return to practice. The Jets have not given a timetable. Fantasy Action: Bench him until he’s cleared to practice; rookie Adonai Mitchell would see a bump in snaps in New York’s receiver room if Wilson can’t go, though he’s currently WR3 on the depth chart rather than a clean starter replacement.
🟡 Feed: Questionable — George Pickens (DAL): Pickens is listed Questionable on our injury feed with a hamstring strain, keeping him on the watch list ahead of Dallas’ home game against San Francisco. We haven’t yet confirmed his practice participation this week. Fantasy Action: Hold for now and check Friday’s report before setting your Week 10 lineup; Ryan Flournoy, next up on Dallas’ receiver depth chart, would see more snaps if he sits.
🔴 Feed: Out — Puka Nacua (LAR): Nacua hurt his knee on the Rams’ final offensive snap of Sunday’s 20-13 win over Washington, per the Deseret News, and our injury feed lists him Out with an MCL sprain. Rams coach Sean McVay said Monday that Los Angeles will be without him for an extended stretch, per Bleacher Report. Fantasy Action: Bench him for Sunday’s game at Arizona and hold him as a stash if you have the room; Konata Mumpfield tops the Rams’ slot receiver depth chart in his absence.
🟡 Feed: Questionable — Ladd McConkey (LAC): McConkey was active but did not play a snap in the Chargers’ Week 9 loss to Houston after back spasms flared up in pregame workouts, and Jim Harbaugh called him day to day this week, per The Fantasy Footballers. Our feed lists him Questionable ahead of Monday night’s game at Baltimore; we haven’t yet confirmed his practice participation this week. Fantasy Action: Hold him, and if he isn’t practicing fully by Friday, pivot before Sunday’s games lock, since a Monday-night scratch leaves you few replacement options.
Running Backs
New England’s backfield is thin heading into the Munich trip. 🔴 Out (illness) — TreVeyon Henderson (NE): Henderson has been sidelined since a Nov. 6 hospitalization for unexplained neurological symptoms, per his own statement, and remains Out on our injury feed with no return timetable given. 🔴 Feed: Doubtful — Rhamondre Stevenson (NE): Stevenson (knee) was downgraded to Doubtful on our injury feed late Wednesday night. With both banged up, Corey Kiner projects as New England’s lead back this week. Fantasy Action: Bench Henderson and Stevenson proactively and start Kiner if he’s active; Kaleb Johnson and Audric Estime are the deeper streaming options at the position.
🟡 Feed: Questionable — David Montgomery (HOU): Montgomery has been out since Week 5 with a groin injury, but Texans coach DeMeco Ryans said earlier this week he’s hopeful Montgomery returns to practice “this week or next,” and our feed moved him to Questionable overnight. Woody Marks has handled Houston’s backfield in the meantime and sits atop the depth chart regardless of Montgomery’s status. Fantasy Action: Hold Montgomery as a stash if you have the bench space, but Marks remains the safer start against Cleveland even if Montgomery is activated; a full timeshare, if it happens, likely takes a week or two to settle in.
🔴 Feed: Out — Josh Jacobs (GB): Jacobs fractured the ring finger on his right hand in the first quarter against New England and needs surgery, per TSN; Matt LaFleur said Monday that how long he’ll be out is “to be determined” and would not rule out injured reserve. Our feed lists him Out for Sunday’s home game against Minnesota, and Green Bay has its bye in Week 11. Fantasy Action: Bench Jacobs and hold him through the bye; MarShawn Lloyd (Questionable on our feed) tops the Packers’ depth chart with Kaleb Johnson next, so Johnson is the safer add.
Quarterbacks
🟡 Feed: Questionable — Justin Herbert (LAC): Herbert (finger) picked up a Questionable tag on our feed as of Wednesday afternoon. The Chargers haven’t suggested he’s at real risk of sitting. Fantasy Action: Start him on the road at Baltimore unless he’s held out of practice entirely; there’s no reason to make a change in superflex or 2-QB formats based on what we know now.
