Jarvis Landry (knee) returns to practice

Jarvis Landry (knee) returned to practice on Thursday.

Beat writer Armando Salguero of the Miami Herald said Landry was "practicing some," which suggests he got in a limited session. Landry was absent from Wednesday's practice, but should be fine for Week 3 against the Jets. He pulled in a whopping 13 receptions in last week's opener, though he only averaged six yards per catch.

Randall Cobb (chest) misses another practice

Randall Cobb (chest) remained sidelined on Thursday.

Cobb was supposed to be out of the woods after an MRI on his shoulder came back negative, but instead he's looking on the wrong side of questionable for Sunday's game against the Bengals. Cobb will need to get in at least a limited session on Friday to have a realistic shot at suiting up. Unfortunately for fantasy owners, the Pack play at 4:25 ET. Hopefully Cobb's status is resolved by the morning.

Terrance West (thigh) still not practicing

Terrance West (thigh) remained sidelined at Thursday's practice.

It's not a promising sign for his Week 3 availability. Buck Allen has out-touched West 40-29 through two weeks and would probably be close to an every-down player if West can't go against the Jaguars this week.

Rob Kelley (ribs) practicing again Thursday

Rob Kelley (ribs) practiced again on Thursday.

Kelley will probably remain "limited" on the injury report, but he's now fully on track to suit up against the Raiders on Sunday Night Football. With Kelley at less than 100 percent, the Redskins will probably try to keep Samaje Perine involved, rendering Kelley a risky RB3 even for a solid matchup.

Jordan Reed (chest) seen at start of practice

Jordan Reed (chest, toe) was seen stretching at the start of Thursday's practice.

It's an encouraging sign after Reed missed Wednesday's session, though we'll wait to see how he's listed on the injury report. Reed has already drawn 14 targets from Kirk Cousins and remains an every-week starter in fantasy whenever he's healthy.

Danny Amendola practicing again Thursday

Danny Amendola (concussion) is practicing Thursday.

Amendola was limited on Wednesday. He likely will be again on Thursday, but he has a good shot to return this week after getting in two practices in a row. Amendola will be a solid WR3 if he suits up.

Rex Burkhead (ribs) not practicing Thursday

Rex Burkhead (ribs) did not practice Thursday.

Burkhead also missed Wednesday's session, putting his availability for Week 3 in serious doubt. If Burkhead cannot go, Dion Lewis should see more snaps against the Texans.

Jay Ajayi not dealing with serious injury

Dolphins coach Adam Gase said Jay Ajayi's knee injury is not serious.

Ajayi was given the day off Wednesday, but there was never much concern about his availability for this week. Ajayi is a high-end RB1 against a Jets defense which is likely to be without Muhammad Wilkerson.

Jarvis Landry's knee injury not serious

Dolphins coach Adam Gase said Jarvis Landry's knee injury is not serious.

Both Landry and Jay Ajayi were given Wednesday off because of knee injuries, but neither issue is serious. Landry will be ready to face the Jets coming off a 15 target outing in the season opener.

Kelvin Benjamin back at practice Thursday

Kelvin Benjamin (ribs, knee) returned to practice Thursday.

Benjamin was able to play through the injuries last week, so it never seemed likely he would sit out this week's matchup with the Saints. With Greg Olsen on the shelf, Benjamin should have a large target share in a prime matchup. He is a high-end WR2.

RotoGrinders.com Daily Slant: Although the Saints pass defense has been atrocious, CB Marshon Lattimore has been a bright spot. He has an 82.0 PFF coverage grade (18th) and QBs have only targeted him seven times. Receivers caught 5 for 58 scoreless yards while CBs P.J. Williams and De'Vante Harris have given up 10/182/1 and 6/110/1 lines, respectively. If Lattimore (concussion) plays and shadows Benjamin, it would provide comparative advantages, and more opportunities, for Devin Funchess and Russell Shepard against the weaker CBs. Brandin Cooks only caught one pass in Lattimore's coverage, finishing with a 2/37/0 line. If the CB is out, it’s a big boost for Benjamin.

Rob Gronkowski appears to be practicing

Rob Gronkowski (groin) appears to be practicing Thursday.

We say appears because Gronkowski was seen at the start of practice on Wednesday only to be listed as a "DNP" on the official injury report. We will have to wait to see his official designation for Thursday, but it is promising he seems to be participating at the very least in individual drills. Nothing can be taken for granted, but Gronk should be good to go against the Texans.
