DeAndre Hopkins Injury Updates | Shark Bites

Titans WR DeAndre Hopkins caught all 7 of his targets for 72 yards in Sunday's loss to the Texans. That beat his nearest teammate by 3 receptions and more than doubled any other Tennessee player in receiving yards. Hopkins caught Will Levis' only 2 completions among 6 pass attempts before the rookie left with an injury. Ryan Tannehill completed 16 of 20 throws in relief, targeting Hopkins with 25% of his attempts. Hopkins' 10.6 yards per catch for the game also marked his third straight outing with less than 11 yards per catch. If Levis can't go in Week 18, Tannehill should help Hopkins' catch-rate outlook but lessen his yardage upside. We'll also see whether the Titans indicate any different plan for player usage in the regular-season finale.

Titans WR Treylon Burks (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game vs. the Bengals. It looks like he injured his knee in Wednesday's practice, but we don't have any other details. Burks' absence leaves Nick Westbrook-Ikhine as Tennessee's No. 2 WR and boosts WR DeAndre Hopkins' target projection.

Update: HC Mike Vrabel said after Friday's practice that Burks is only expected to be sidelined about a week. This knee injury isn't related to the LCL sprain he suffered in mid-August.

Titans WR DeAndre Hopkins is not listed on the Week 4 injury report. He's been bothered by an ankle injury the past two weeks but is evidently healthy heading into Sunday's game vs. the Bengals. Hopkins posted a 7-65-0 line on 13 targets in Week 1, the last time he was off the injury report.

Titans WR DeAndre Hopkins (ankle) is active for today’s game vs. the Browns. He went from a full practice on Wednesday to a limited practice on Thursday and then no practice on Friday. So it’s safe to assume that Hopkins is nowhere near 100% today. He managed just four catches for 40 scoreless yards playing through this ankle injury last week. See where Hopkins sits in the Week 3 WR Rankings.

Insider Jordan Schultz reports that Titans WR DeAndre Hopkins (ankle) will play vs. the Browns on Sunday. Hopkins is listed as questionable after missing Friday's practice, so it's safe to assume he won't be anywhere close to 100%. Hopkins' snaps were a bit limited by this injury last week, and he finished with just four catches on five targets for 40 yards. Consider him just a WR3 in Week 3 fantasy lineups.

Titans WR DeAndre Hopkins (ankle) is listed as questionable for this weekend's game vs. the Browns. He went from a full practice on Wednesday to a limited practice on Thursday and then no practice on Friday. Hopkins said Friday that he'll travel to Cleveland but wouldn't guarantee that he'll play. We'll watch for updates on his status and will get Tennessee's inactives around 11:30 am ET on Sunday. Hopkins managed just four catches for 40 scoreless yards playing through this ankle injury last week.

Titans WR DeAndre Hopkins (ankle) missed his second straight practice on Thursday. We haven't heard anything about this ankle issue, so it's possible that Hopkins is just getting some mid-week rest. But check back tomorrow to see how he's listed on the final injury report for this weekend's game vs. the Chargers.

Cardinals WR DeAndre Hopkins left Friday's practice with a knee injury that is expected to make him a game-time decision for Sunday against the Falcons, according to the team website. On top of that, Hopkins will also see his 4th QB of the season. Colt McCoy's concussion symptoms resurfaced Friday, meaning he'll miss the game. Arizona will start David Blough over Trace McSorley. Blough -- who started 5 games for the 2019 Lions -- will have been with the team less than 3 weeks come game time. The whole situation makes it tough to like any Cardinals pass-catchers for Week 17. We're not significantly downgrading the outlook for RB James Conner, however.

ESPN's Adam Schefter reports that the foot injury for Cardinals WR Marquise Brown is "potentially season-ending." Brown is undergoing further testing today to determine the extent. The trade for WR Robbie Anderson also seemed to point to concern on the team's part. We'll watch for the official diagnosis on Brown.

The Panthers are trading WR Robbie Anderson to the Cardinals, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Anderson had already been on the trade block before his sideline altercation with Carolina's coaching staff in Sunday's loss to the Rams. He heads from a pathetic Panthers passing game to a struggling Cardinals passing game. When Arizona's WR corps is healthy, Anderson might be the #4 WR behind DeAndre Hopkins, Marquise Brown and Rondale Moore. Brown went down with a foot injury late in Week 6, though, so we'll see about his status. Anderson is worth stashing in fantasy leagues of 12+ teams, but we're not very excited about his rest-of-season outlook.

Update: The Panthers are receiving a 2024 6th-round pick and a 2025 7th-rounder for Anderson, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports.

The Cardinals "hope" WR DeAndre Hopkins will be able to play vs. the Saints on Thursday night, according to insider Jordan Schultz. Hopkins' 6-game suspension is up, and he's in "phenomenal shape," per Schultz. But the short week complicates the situation. Of course, Arizona could really use Hopkins -- especially with WR Marquise Brown dealing with a foot injury. We'll keep you updated on this. If Hopkins does suit up on Thursday, he's best treated as a risk/reward WR3.

Cardinals WR DeAndre Hopkins "is in danger " of missing Sunday's game vs. the Lions due to a knee injury, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Hopkins is seeking more opinions on the injury, which usually isn't a good sign. We'll keep you updated on his status, but fantasy owners should be lining up backup plans for Week 15.

Cardinals WR DeAndre Hopkins suffered a leg injury in Monday night's loss to the Rams and is scheduled for an MRI, HC Kliff Kingsbury said. We'll update Hopkins' status as soon as we know more.

Cardinals WR DeAndre Hopkins (hamstring) is active for today’s game vs. the Bears. He was limited on Wednesday and Thursday but did not practice on Friday. ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported this morning that Hopkins "could be used more sparingly than usual due to his injury and the weather conditions.” Check the WR rankings to see if Hopkins should be in your starting lineup.

Cardinals WR DeAndre Hopkins (hamstring) is expected to play vs. the Bears today, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports. But Hopkins "could be used more sparingly than usual due to his injury and the weather conditions," Schefter adds. Hopkins has been out since Week 8 with this hamstring injury and got in just 2 limited practices this week. The forecast for today's game in Chicago calls for rain, which might increase the odds Hopkins aggravates the injury. It's impossible to know exactly how much he'll end up playing today, leaving Hopkins as a risky fantasy start.

Cardinals WR DeAndre Hopkins (hamstring) remained sidelined on Thursday. He didn't practice all last week and was active for the Packers game -- but he ended up playing just 15 snaps after aggravating the hamstring injury. Unless Hopkins gets on the practice field tomorrow, he'll be a risky Week 9 fantasy play.

Cardinals WR DeAndre Hopkins (hamstring) did not practice on Wednesday. He was questionable heading into last Thursday night's game before aggravating the injury early on. Hopkins ended up sneaking back in for a few more snaps, so we're tentatively expecting him to play vs. the 49ers this weekend. We'll get another update on his status tomorrow.

Cardinals WR DeAndre Hopkins aggravated his hamstring injury on a 55-yard catch in the 1st quarter of Thursday night's game vs. the Packers. He remains on the sidelines and is officially questionable to return.

Update: Hopkins re-entered midway through the 3rd quarter.

Cardinals WR DeAndre Hopkins (illness) isn't listed on the final injury report. He was sidelined on Wednesday and Thursday but put in a full practice on Friday. Hopkins should be ready for his usual role in Sunday's game vs. the Browns.

Cardinals WR DeAndre Hopkins (ribs) returned to practice on Thursday. He's going to play Sunday vs. the Rams -- but between the rib injury, his slow start and a matchup vs. CB Jalen Ramsey, Hopkins looks like just a WR2 for Week 4.
