Trotter0 is the headliner today, and not in a good way. DeVonta Smith will sit out Sunday against the Rams with the hamstring that's been bothering him for two weeks, leaving Trotter0 to scramble for a weekly starter. The same manager also has to sweat Puka Nacua, who was limited at Thursday's practice with a hip issue and has yet to shake his injury designation heading into Philadelphia.
Elsewhere on the injury front, it's a bad week for wideouts. Justin Jefferson (connorolson) didn't practice Thursday with an ankle injury and looks like a game-time call against the Dolphins. Nico Collins (Scarpg) remains limited working back from his hamstring injury, still hoping to shed a designation before facing the Cowboys. Ladd McConkey (Cmoney7) was downgraded to a non-participant with a foot injury and was seen limping out of the locker room, not exactly a reassuring sign for his manager.
On the bright side, Thursday night in Cleveland was a party for several rosters. KC Concepcion (PatBerry), Denzel Boston (cbbrew), Harold Fannin (Trotter0) and Quinshon Judkins (cplabarge) all turned in productive nights in the Browns' win over the Steelers, with Boston and Judkins especially building momentum. Even on the losing side, DK Metcalf (Cmoney7) caught fire late for Cmoney7's flex spot.
Lower stakes: Mike Evans (ssbradley40) sat out practice with ribs, Jadarian Price (connorolson) didn't practice with a chest issue, Keaton Mitchell (cbbrew) remains limited but trending toward playing, and Dallas Goedert (Cmoney7) continues to miss time — none of it urgent for anyone's lineup card this week.
