Mack (shoulder) won't play Sunday against the Browns, Zak Keefer of The Indianapolis Star reports.

With Mack out this week, the Colts plan to promote fellow RB Matt Jones off their practice squad to provide Week 3 backfield depth behind Frank Gore and Robert Turbin.

West (calf) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Jaguars.

West missed practice Wednesday and Thursday, but his return as a full participant Friday suggests he has a good chance to play in Sunday's game. He draws a tough matchup with a solid Jacksonville front seven, and Javorius Allen could handle the lead role even if West doesn't have any limitations. Allen is a far superior pass catcher who has also been more efficient than West on the ground.

Elliott remains on track to play in Monday's game against the Cardinals, Clarence Hill Jr. of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports.

When asked about Elliott's status Friday morning, NFL spokesman Joe Lockhart did not guarantee that Elliott would play in Week 3, but he also indicated Elliott would be able to take the field unless the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit issues a ruling on the league's appeal prior to Sunday. It seems unlikely that will occur, so fantasy owners should plan on having Elliott available for Week 3.

Washington (quadriceps) is expected to miss multiple weeks, the Detroit Free Press reports.

A specific length of absence hasn't been given by the Lions. In his unspecified absence, TJ Jones and Jamal Agnew are next in line to return kicks, while Zach Zenner and Tion Green might see a few snaps at running back behind Ameer Abdullah and Theo Riddick.

West (calf) returned to practice Friday.

After sitting out Wednesday and Thursday with a soft-tissue injury, this is a step in the right direction for West being available against the Jaguars in London on Sunday. Considering the game starts at 9:30 a.m. EDT, those invested in West might be in store for an early morning if it comes down to a game-time decision.

Mostert carried the ball four times for 11 yards but also lost a fumble in Thursday's 41-39 loss to the Rams.

Mostert received his first offensive action of the season after Carlos Hyde went down with a hip injury in the first quarter. The 25-year-old suffered an untimely fumble as the 49ers tried to climb out of an early hole, and he didn't receive another carry for the rest of the game. Mostert's faux pas combined with Hyde's triumphant return could limit the speedy back to a special teams role going forward.

Breida rushed three times for nine yards while catching three of his four targets for 20 more yards in Thursday's 41-39 loss to the Rams.

Breida was able to make an impact in the passing game for the first time this season, but outside of that, it was the Carlos Hyde Show in an unlikely shootout. The latter left the game briefly in the first quarter after suffering a hip injury, but his strong production upon returning combined with a 10-day layoff should mean he'll be fine for next week's matchup against the Cardinals. Hyde is occupying a three-down role in addition to serving as the team's goal-line back, limiting Breida's value to that of a handcuff.

Gordon (knee) was limited at practice Thursday.

Gordon is an addition to the Chargers' Week 3 injury report, thus making his status worth monitoring as Sunday's game against the Chiefs approaches. So far there's nothing to suggest that the running back's Week 3 status is in any peril, but we'll let you know if that assessment changes.

Mack (shoulder) did not practice Thursday, the Colts' official site reports.

Mack was a limited participant at Wednesday's practice, so the downgrade Thursday is notable. We'll revisit his status Friday, but so far the fourth-rounder's fantasy results have been spotty, as Mack has turned 16 carries over two games into 21 yards and a TD. He's also caught two passes for 32 yards.

Williams (ribs) practiced fully Thursday.

Williams is off the fantasy radar as long as Jay Ajayi is healthy enough to play. With that in mind, Ajayi has missed back-to-back practices, but the knee issue that's slowed him this week is not considered serious.
