Injury Wrap: Game-day calls for Doug Baldwin, Carlos Hyde

It’s not the messiest of injury weeks, though we start with a couple of key players who are game-time decisions. Let’s get to work.

• Doug Baldwin (groin) practiced Friday after missing the two prior days. He’s considered a game-time decision and the Seahawks have the night game Sunday, so make sure you have a pivot available (Paul Richardson is a good place to start). C.J. Prosise (ankle) is unlikely to play, which could push more work to Chris Carson.

• Carlos Hyde (hip) will be a game-time decision for Sunday’s match at Arizona. It’s a 4:05 pm ET start, so plan your day accordingly. Matt Breida is the backup running back.

• Jordan Reed (chest, shoulder, toe) had a full week of practice but is still listed as questionable for Monday’s game at Kansas City. His owners would be prudent to keep Vernon Davis on roster, just in case.

• Sam Bradford (knee) remains out indefinitely. Case Keenum, off a surprisingly strong game, will start against Detroit.

• Not the best time to dial up Michael Crabtree (chest). He missed Friday’s practice, he’s coming off a terrible game (say that for all of the Raiders), and now he has to deal with Denver’s elite secondary

• Willie Snead (hamstring) landed on the injury report as questionable. Given that he’s missed three games on a suspension and now the Saints are out-of-routine with a London game, Snead belongs on everyone’s bench. If he produces, take it as a pleasant surprise, reevaluate forward.

• The Falcons removed Julio Jones (back) from the injury report, so no concerns with him. Buffalo has yet to allow a touchdown pass, though that’s a major statement about the opposition thus far.

• The Panthers don’t have Kelvin Benjamin (knee) on their final injury report, so he’s playable at New England. Cam Newton (shoulder) was also removed from the report.

• Matt Forte (toe) won’t play against Jacksonville, which sets up Bilal Powell to see featured work. Elijah McGuire (4.8 YPC) has been respectable in a limited role.

• Despite a balky knee, Jay Ajayi is expected to play against New Orleans. Kenny Stills (hand) practiced Friday and should play.

• Ben Watson (calf) had a full practice Friday after missing the two previous days. It’s difficult to trust the Ravens passing game right now, but maybe Watson will do something; he’s been useful the last two games, and Baltimore’s wideouts have a putrid 13 catches thus far.

• Melvin Gordon (knee) had a full practice Friday after taking it easy the two prior days. He’s not 100 percent, but is expected to play against the Eagles.

• A few weeks ago, Kenny Golladay was a player to nickname. These days, he’s just another wideout with a hamstring issue. He missed two days of practice and seems unlikely to be a factor at Minnesota.

• John Brown (quad) is expected back for the home game against San Francisco. J.J. Nelson (hamstring) is also expected to play.

• Bengals TE Tyler Eifert (back) is out indefinitely. Stand-in Tyler Kroft is not a fantasy factor.

• In a messy tight end year, Ryan Griffin might be a sneaky waiver-wire add. He caught five passes for 61 yards and a score at New England, and C.J. Fiedorowicz (concussion) is on injured reserve.

• Falcons LB Vic Beasley (hamstring) won’t play until late October or November.

• Colts CB Vontae Davis (groin) had a strong practice week and is expected to play at Seattle.

• And to end this injury wrap on a high note, here’s an encouraging word on Ty Montgomery, who was injured in Thursday’s win over Chicago.
