Sunday morning injury updates

Olave sounds unlikely

The Sunday morning injury updates are filtering in, with a few gametime calls and some big names unlikely to go. Here's what is being reported so far.

  • Chris Olave (ankle) is a gametime call, but sounds unlikely to be active. This is not surprising, in that he didn't practice during the week. The main wideouts should instead be Rashid Shaheed and A.T. Perry, plus the Saints will throw eleventy billion different tight ends onto the field.

  • Tyreek Hill (ankle) remains uncertain. It sounds like he'll probably be active, but perhaps on a snap count, as he was last week. Tough call whether to use him and maybe have him catch a long touchdown, or primarily be a decoy. Either outcome seems possible with Hill this week.

  • For the Texans, Noah Brown is expected to play, Nico Collins isn't. Brown and Robert Woods will be catching passes from Case Keenum, who has the experience edge over Davis Mills, for whatever that's worth. Keenum is experienced all right: 35 years old, and he's played for seven different teams (eight if you consider he played for the Rams both in St. Louis and Los Angeles). He's started two games the last four years.

  • For those thinking of using a New England wideout besides Demario Douglas (anyone?), it sounds like DeVante Parker will play against Kansas City, but the revenge game angle for JuJu Smith-Schuster will not be available, as JSS isn't expected to play.

  • Jalen Hurts (illness) should play tomorrow night, not that there was much doubt. What's not certain is whether it will be Geno Smith (groin) or Drew Lock at quarterback for the Seahawks. We might not know before tomorrow.

  • The Cardinals should have both Marquise Brown (heel) and Michael Wilson (neck). Brown is the one who has had some good recent games, including when he's been on the injury report. Brutal matchup, though, against the 49ers.

  • Chris Godwin (knee) should play at Green Bay. Same game, Aaron Jones (knee) will return.

If I see more significant developments in the next couple hours, I'll post in the comments below.
