Ravens TE Mark Andrews (knee, shoulder) remained limited in Thursday's practice. We'll see what he does tomorrow and how he's listed on the final injury report for this weekend's game vs. the Panthers.

Ravens TE Mark Andrews (knee, shoulder) was asked Thursday if he'll play vs. the Panthers this weekend and said, "You never know. I’ve been dying to get out there.” Hmm. Not exactly the answer we were hoping for. We'll continue to track Andrews' status over the next few days, but fantasy owners should at least have a backup plan in place in case Andrews misses Sunday's game.

Ravens TE Mark Andrews (shoulder, knee) got in a limited practice on Wednesday. It'd have been nice to see him full go coming off the bye, but this seemingly puts Andrews on track to play vs. the Panthers this weekend. We'll update his status again tomorrow.

Ravens HC John Harbaugh said Monday that TE Mark Andrews (shoulder, knee) has a "really good chance" to play vs. the Panthers this weekend. We'd have rather heard that Andrews will definitely be back for that one, but this is the next best thing. We'll track his practice participation throughout the week.

Titans RB Derrick Henry managed just 53 yards on 19 carries in Sunday's win over the Broncos. He added 2 catches for 14 yards among 3 targets. It marked his fewest yards per carry since Week 2 and just the 3rd game all year in which Henry logged fewer than 20 attempts. Next comes a Thursday night visit to Green Bay.

The Ravens have activated TE Charlie Kolar from IR. Kolar has yet to play a game this season because of a sports hernia, but he has been practicing for several weeks. “He’s looked really good,” HC John Harbaugh told the team’s website. “He’s a young player, and he missed a lot of time during training camp so he’s still developing, but he’s out there [and] he looks good. He’s so talented, he’s so big, he has great hands. He had three good weeks of practice, so I anticipate him being brought up this week.” Kolar will have to contend with a crowd at TE, including Mark Andrews' expected return from injury, Josh Oliver, Nick Boyle and fellow rookie Isaiah Likely. It'll be tough for Kolar to carve out a significant role the rest of the way -- perhaps even to make the game-day roster.

Ravens TE Mark Andrews (knee, shoulder) did not travel to New Orleans and has been downgraded to out for Monday night's game vs. the Saints. Rookie Isaiah Likely steps in as Baltimore's lead TE -- and potential team target leader with WR Rashod Bateman also out.

Ravens TE Mark Andrews (knee, shoulder) is listed as doubtful for Monday night's game vs. the Saints. He didn't practice all week and should obviously be on fantasy benches. Baltimore has a Week 10 bye, so we'll see if Andrews can make it back for Week 11. His absence on Monday night leaves TE Isaiah Likely as the Ravens' lead TE -- and potentially the top target in the passing game with WR Rashod Bateman done for the season. Note, though, that New Orleans ranks 1st in both adjusted fantasy points allowed to TEs and Football Outsiders' TE coverage rankings.

Titans RB Derrick Henry is not listed on the final Week 9 injury report. He was on there and limited on Wednesday with a foot and then got Thursday off. But Henry put in a full practice on Friday and will be ready for his usual workhorse role vs. the Chiefs on Sunday night.

Ravens TE Mark Andrews (shoulder, knee) missed practice again on Friday. Baltimore still has 1 more practice ahead of Monday night's game vs. the Saints, but it's looking like Andrews will miss that one. His absence would make TE Isaiah Likely a viable Week 9 spot starter, despite the matchup against the league's top-ranked TE defense.

Ravens TE Mark Andrews (knee, shoulder) did not practice on Thursday. The injuries reportedly aren't serious, but Andrews could be held out of Monday night's game vs. the Saints -- especially with Baltimore's upcoming Week 10 bye. We'll update Andrews' status again tomorrow.

Titans RB Derrick Henry did not practice on Thursday but is now listed on the injury report with "rest," rather than the previous "foot." Henry should be ready for his usual workhorse role vs. the Chiefs on Sunday night, but check back tomorrow for another update.

Ravens HC John Harbaugh announced Thursday that WR Rashod Bateman will have season-ending surgery for the Lisfranc injury to his left foot. That leaves Devin Duvernay and Demarcus Robinson as the team's top 2 wideouts. ESPN's Adam Schefter reports that WR DeSean Jackson is also expected to be active for Monday night's game against the Saints. Rookie TE Isaiah Likely should see more opportunities as well, even after Mark Andrews is healthy. Losing Bateman certainly doesn't help QB Lamar Jackson, who's passing numbers have dipped since Bateman originally went down against Buffalo.

Titans RB Derrick Henry (foot) was limited in Wednesday's practice. He seemed to make it out of last weekend's win over the Texans just fine, so this is likely more of a rest day after handling 32 carries in that one. We'll get another update on Henry tomorrow.

The Ravens are acquiring LB Roquan Smith from the Bears for 2nd- and 5th-round NFL Draft picks. Smith is in the final year of his rookie contract, so we'd bet on an extension with Baltimore following. His arrival likely means the end of full playing time for Ravens LB Patrick Queen. They'll likely start together, but the move for Smith signals dissatisfaction with the middle of the defense. Queen has become a full-timer this season after seeing 80% and then 76% the previous 2 seasons. Smith's departure from Chicago leaves tackle upside for LB Nicholas Morrow, who was already playing full-time snaps. Joe Thomas stands 3rd among Bears LBs in playing time currently and might be the top candidate to absorb vacated snaps.

Update: The Ravens are also sending LB A.J. Klein to the Bears, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. He'll likely get at least a shot at stepping into Smith's vacated role.

Ravens TE Mark Andrews is dealing with shoulder and ankle injuries, HC John Harbaugh said Monday. Neither is considered major. It sounds like Andrews at least has a chance to play against the Saints this weekend. But the Ravens have a Week 10 bye, so they could give Andrews extended time to heal up for the stretch run by holding him out this Sunday. We'll track his practice participation throughout the week. TE Isaiah Likely will be a viable fantasy spot starter if Andrews sits.

Ravens HC John Harbaugh says WR Rashod Bateman will miss "a few weeks" with the foot injury he aggravated in Thursday night's win over the Buccaneers. That span does include the team's Week 10 bye, so we'll see just how many games he misses. Although it's been frustrating to this point -- thanks primarily to the foot injury -- we'd hang on to Bateman where it makes sense. Baltimore has the 2nd-best remaining schedule for WRs. That finishes especially nicely: at Pittsburgh, at Cleveland, vs. Atlanta and vs. Pittsburgh weeks 14-17.

If Derrick Henry's meetings with the Texans were a movie series, they'd all be rated R for violence. The monster back went over 200 rushing yards for the 4th straight time against Houston. He carried 32 times for 219 and 2 TDs in this one, supplying nearly all of the offense with QB Malik Willis filling in for Ryan Tannehill (ankle). Willis attempted only 10 passes, completing 6 for 55 yards. WR Robert Woods was the only Titan to catch more than 1 pass.

Ravens HC John Harbaugh said after the Thursday night win over the Bucs that WR Rashod Bateman "tweaked" his previous left foot injury. Harbaugh added that it's "not serious." Still, don't be surprised if Bateman is held out of Week 9, with a Week 10 bye looming.

Ravens HC John Harbaugh said after Thursday night's win over the Bucs that TE Mark Andrews' shoulder injury "is not a serious, long-term injury." We'll look for further updates on his status. It's worth noting that Baltimore has a Week 10 bye.
