Lions WR Amon-Ra St. Brown (ankle) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice. After being limited back in Week 5, St. Brown should be ready for his usual role in Sunday's game against the Cowboys.

Dolphins QB Teddy Bridgewater (concussion, pectoral) is active for today’s game vs. the Vikings. He’ll back up QB Skylar Thompson, a 7th-round rookie making his 1st career start.

Dolphins QB Teddy. Bridgewater has cleared the concussion protocol, NFL Network's Tom Pelissero reports. Bridgewater will still serve as backup to QB Skylar Thompson for Sunday's game against the Vikings, though. We'll see about Miami's QB situation for an upside Week 7 home date with the Steelers.

Dolphins QB Teddy Bridgewater (concussion, pectoral) is listed as questionable for this weekend's game vs. the Vikings. He got in a full practice on Friday, so it looks like he'll be available to back up QB Skylar Thompson, who will draw the start. QB Tua Tagovailoa (concussion) has been ruled out. He was listed as a full participant on Friday, so it looks like he has a chance to return for Week 7.

Lions WR Amon-Ra St. Brown returned from his ankle sprain for Sunday's loss to the Patriots but played at limited role. He checked in just 4th among Detroit wideouts in playing time for the game, trailing Josh Reynolds (10 targets), Kalif Raymond (7) and Tom Kennedy (1) in playing time. St. Brown did still claim 6 targets to rank 3rd on the team, catching for for 18 yards. He drew a target on 37.5% of routes for the game, pointing to the opportunity upside that awaits as St. Brown works back to full health. A Week 6 bye should help.

The Buccaneers lost CB Carlton Davis (hip) and S Mike Edwards (arm) to injuries in the 2nd half of Sunday's win over the Falcons. HC Todd Bowles had no insight into either situation immediately after the game, so we'll watch for updates on their statuses this week.

The 49ers lost CB Emmanuel Moseley in the 2nd half of Sunday's win over the Panthers to a left knee injury that they fear is an ACL tear, according to Jennifer Lee Chan of NBC Sports Bay Area. We'll watch for confirmation today. San Francisco also watched S Jimmie Ward break his left hand in his 1st game back of the year (thanks to a hamstring injury). It's not clear yet whether he'll miss further time.

After missing Week 4 with ankle and knee injuries, Bears RB David Montgomery returned to reclaim the backfield in Sunday's loss to the Vikings. He played 36 snaps to 14 for Khalil Herbert and just 1 for rookie Trestan Ebner. Montgomery led Herbert 18-7 in routes, according to Pro Football Focus, and claimed 75% of RB rushing attempts. He gained only 20 yards on those 12 carries but scored from 9 yards out. Montgomery added a team-high 62 receiving yards on 4 catches. Only WR Darnell Mooney edged him in targets (5). TE Cole Kmet was the only other Bear to exceed 2 receptions. Herbert gained just 11 yards on 4 carries and saw 0 targets.

Dolphins QB Teddy Bridgewater headed back to the locker room in the 1st quarter of Sunday's game vs. the Jets with an undisclosed injury. That leaves Miami with 7th-round rookie QB Skylar Thompson. We'll update Bridgewater's status when we know more.

Update: Bridgewater is questionable to return with elbow and head injuries, the team announced.

Update: Per the CBS broadcast, Bridgewater passed concussion tests but has been ruled out "out in abundance of caution."

Fox Sports' Jay Glazer reports that the Lions' "plan" is for WR Amon-Ra St. Brown to play 20-30 snaps vs. the Patriots today -- but that he could end up playing more if that ankle is feeling good. It puts fantasy owners in a tough spot. St. Brown could still produce a nice fantasy day on limited snaps, but it obviously lowers both his floor and ceiling. We just moved St. Brown down the WR Rankings.

Lions WR Amon-Ra St. Brown (ankle) is active for today’s game vs. the Patriots. He got in just a limited practice on Friday – his 1st since going down in Week 3 – so it’s tough to know how close to 100% he’ll be for this one. St. Brown sets up as a high-risk/high-reward Week 5 fantasy play. See where he sits in the WR Rankings.

Bears RB David Montgomery (ankle) is active for today’s game vs. the Vikings. He got in limited practices on Thursday and Friday after missing Week 4. We’re projecting Montgomery to return as Chicago’s lead back, but he carries more risk than usual coming off the ankle injury.

NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports that Bears RB David Montgomery (ankle) is "optimistic" about playing today against the Vikings. These reports almost always come across as "expected" or "not expected" to play, so the wording here seems to indicate a bit less confidence in Montgomery's status. We wouldn't be surprised if an active Montgomery gets less than his usual workload -- especially with Khalil Herbert running well and the Bears heavy underdogs on the road. If Montgomery is active, this looks like a backfield to try to avoid. We will keep our RB rankings updated throughout the morning.

Update: ESPN's Adam Schefter hears that Montgomery "plans to play against the Vikings barring any pregame setbacks."

NFL Network's Tom Pelissero reports that Lions WR Amon-Ra St. Brown (ankle) is expected to play today against the Patriots. He made it back for just 1 limited practice this week, so there's still some risk. But St. Brown operated as the dominant #1 target before going down this season and would carry significant PPR upside.

Lions WR Amon-Ra St. Brown (ankle) is listed as questionable for this weekend's game vs. the Patriots. He returned to a limited practice on Friday -- his 1st since going down in Week 3.

Bears RB David Montgomery (ankle) is listed as questionable for this weekend’s game vs. the Vikings. He got in limited practices on Thursday and Friday. HC Matt Eberflus said Friday that everything is "real positive" with Montgomery, so it sounds like he has a shot to return for Sunday’s game. We’ll look for an update on the situation Sunday morning and will get Chicago’s inactives around 11:30 am ET.

Lions WR Amon-Ra St. Brown (ankle) remained sidelined for Thursday's practice. At this point, he's looking unlikely to play vs. the Patriots on Sunday. St. Brown gets a Week 6 bye to heal up.

Bears RB David Montgomery (ankle) returned to a limited practice on Thursday -- his 1st since going down early in Week 3. It gives Montgomery a chance to play against the Vikings on Sunday. We should have a better idea of his status when we get Chicago's final injury report tomorrow afternoon.

Lions WRs Amon-Ra St. Brown (ankle), D.J. Chark (ankle), Josh Reynolds (ankle) and Quintez Cephus (foot) all missed practice on Wednesday. St. Brown and Chark missed Week 4 and appear to be in danger of missing Sunday's game vs. the Patriots. We'll see about Reynolds and Cephus. Tom Kennedy, Kalif Raymond and Maurice Alexander are Detroit's healthy WRs right now. Check back tomorrow for another update.
