Sunday morning injury updates

Fields out, Jacobs in and more

The Sunday morning injury updates are coming in, with relatively few surprises thus far. Here are some of the bigger items where we can say with relative certainty these guys are either playing or not.

  • Justin Fields (shoulder) is not expected to play. The Bears will be starting Trevor Siemian against a good Jets defense.

  • Josh Jacobs (calf) is expected to play, but they will test things out in pregame warmups. He's a later game, so if you're planning to use Jacobs, best to line up a backup plan just in case he winds up inactive. Zamir White would probably start for Las Vegas, but Brandon Bolden and Ameer Abdullah could also play more than usual. If you have a comparably ranked option to Jacobs, might be best to just avoid the risk, but that's not to say bench the guy for just anyone. I personally am using Jacobs in my lineups.

  • Deebo Samuel (hamstring) is expected to play for San Francisco. Should be fine, although we're thinking his workload is slightly scaled back.

  • No Greg Dortch (thumb) for Arizona, but Marquise Brown will return as Arizona's No. 2 wideout.

  • Gus Edwards, Devin Duvernary and Demarcus Robinson are all expected to play today for the Ravens.

  • Matthew Stafford is out and Bryce Perkins will start at quarterback, we knew that. The other key thing is that Allen Robinson (foot) is not expected to play for the Rams today. They're mailing it in hard this week.

If I see any other key inactives this morning, I will post in the comments below.
