Zay Flowers Practices in Full on Thursday

Thursday, October 1, 12:47 PM

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Zay Flowers (hamstring) was upgraded to full practice participation on Thursday. The 26-year-old has been battling a hamstring injury since Week 1, but he was able to play through it in Week 3 and appears to be getting closer to full health ahead of Baltimore's Week 4 matchup against the Tennessee Titans. Flowers' snap share has been limited by the hamstring issue so far, as he's yet to play more than 33% of the Ravens' offensive snaps in a game this season. Still, the 26-year-old has been remarkably productive in his limited opportunities, recording 10 catches for 234 yards and a touchdown on 12 targets across two games. As he moves further away from the injury, Flowers profiles as a must-start WR1 option for fantasy managers in Week 4.

Ladd McConkey Seen Walking Out of Locker Room with a Limp

Thursday, October 1, 6:52 PM

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Ladd McConkey (foot) did not practice on Thursday due to a foot injury after logging a limited session on Wednesday. According to Kris Rhim of ESPN, McConkey was seen walking out of the locker room with a limp. McConkey's status for a Week 4 matchup against the Seattle Seahawks seems cloudy at best right now. McConkey has amassed 12 catches (on 15 targets) for 183 yards (15.3 yards per reception) and a touchdown through three games in 2026 . McConkey was already dealing with a rib injury as well, but he is yet to miss a game. If McConkey is out of the lineup, the Chargers will rely on wide receivers Quentin Johnston and Tre' Harris, tight end Oronde Gadsden and others in the passing game in Week 4 against the Seahawks.
