Baltimore Ravens OG Alex Lewis (concussion), OT Ronnie Staley (foot), CB Sheldon Price (thigh) and LB Terrell Suggs (non-injury) did not participate in practice Thursday, Sept. 29. CB Devin Hester (thigh) was a limited participant, and LB Elvis Dumervil (foot), and OG John Urschel (shoulder) and DT Timmy Jernigan (knee) were full participants.

Oakland Raiders FS Nate Allen (quadriceps), OT Austin Howard (ankle) and OT Menelik Watson (calf) did not participate in practice Thursday, Sept. 29. C Rodney Hudson (knee), RB Taiwan Jones (knee) and OT Matt McCants (knee) were limited participants.

Atlanta Falcons WR Mohamed Sanu (shoulder) returned to practice on a limited basis Thursday, Sept. 29.

Footballguys View: Sanu should be back in the lineup but is no better than a WR 5 or so. If you’re looking for bye week help, there are better options.

Atlanta Falcons QB Matt Ryan (thumb) was a full participant in practice Thursday, Sept. 29.

Footballguys View: It’s not a great matchup, so Ryan looks a lot shakier than he did last week. Start him as a QB2 and hang on through what could be a roller coaster.

Atlanta Falcons WR Julio Jones (hamstring) was a limited in practice Thursday, Sept. 29.

Footballguys View: Jones will be fine this week and bounce back from an awful game last week on what should have been a career day. Consider Jones a WR1 as usual.

Atlanta Falcons RB Devonta Freeman (illness) missed practice Thursday, Sept. 29, because of an illness.

Footballguys View: Watch this space for news on whether is a go on Friday, because if he isn’t, you might bump Tevin Coleman up to full RB2 status. As it is, Freeman may get more carries but Coleman gets goal line work, so they are both RB2/RB3 options at best.

Atlanta Falcons RB Tevin Coleman (ankle) was limited during practice Thursday, Sept. 29.

Footballguys View: Devonta Freeman and Coleman will split carries, which will hurt both players. Freeman is a little better in terms of carries while Coleman seems to be getting the goal line nods. Both are RB2/RB3 options against Carolina.

Atlanta Falcons LB De’Vondre Campbell (ankle) and LB Paul Worrilow (groin) did not practice Thursday, Sept. 29. WR Justin Hardy (shoulder) and LB Brooks Reed (shoulder) were limited participants, and LB Dwight Freeney (non-injury) was a full participant.

New York Jets WR Brandon Marshall (foot, knee) was a full participant in practice Thursday, Sept. 29.

Footballguys View: Marshall may play but he may be hindered by his issues. He’s a borderline WR2/WR3 this week, especially since we don’t exactly trust Ryan Fitzpatrick to avoid passing the ball to the wrong team.

New York Jets RB Matt Forte (knee) was a full participant in practice Thursday, Sept. 29.

Footballguys View: Forte is in a tough spot as he faces a good Seattle run defense. On top of that the offense could be without Eric Decker and/or Brandon Marshall, which means stacked boxes for Forte. A smart Jets team would go and use both Forte and Bilal Powell at the same time, one in the backfield and one out wide, but there is no guarantee that will happen. We see Forte with RB3 production, but upside if the Jets can crack the code on this defense.
