By Fantasy football managers have several wide receiver injury situations to monitor heading into Week 10 of the NFL season. Many big-name players are dealing with injuries, creating uncertainty for their respective teams and fantasy lineups. Wednesday’s developments provided some encouraging signs, but there are still several situations that need to be monitored throughout the week.

A.J. Brown, George Pickens, Amon-Ra St. Brown injury updates
A.J. Brown (ankle/knee): Brown will travel with the New England Patriots to Germany for Sunday’s matchup against the Detroit Lions. His availability remains uncertain, but making the trip gives him an opportunity to continue working toward a return. Brown has missed time recently, so him practicing Wednesday is encouraging.
George Pickens (hamstring): Pickens began working his way back into practice Wednesday, according to Cowboys head coach Brian Schottenheimer. That is an encouraging development after the wide receiver dealt with a hamstring issue. His participation over the next few days should provide a better indication of whether he can play Sunday.
Amon-Ra St. Brown (ribs):
He was a limited participant in practice on Wednesday, and although it will be important to see what his status is over the next couple of days, he is expected to play and be a full go against the Patriots on Sunday.
Xavier Worthy, Carnell Tate, Michael Pittman and Alec Pierce updates
Xavier Worthy (hamstring): The Kansas City Chiefs receiver is feeling pretty good and participated fully in practice Wednesday, according to head coach Andy Reid. Worthy’s progress is encouraging, and he should be playing this weekend.
Carnell Tate (shoulder): Tate did not participate in Wednesday’s practice. His absence puts his availability for Week 10 in question, and additional updates will be needed to determine whether he can return before Sunday’s game.
Alec Pierce (heel): Indianapolis Colts head coach Shane Steichen offered little clarity when asked whether Pierce would return this season. “We’ll see,” Steichen said, declining to provide a recovery timetable. The lack of a definitive timeline leaves Pierce’s status uncertain for the remainder of the season.
Michael Pittman Jr. (foot): Pittman is making progress in his recovery, but the Pittsburgh Steelers are not yet opening his practice window. That means he remains unavailable for practice as he works toward returning to the field.
With several notable wide receivers dealing with injuries, fantasy managers should keep an eye on practice reports throughout the week. Brown, Pickens and Worthy have provided encouraging developments, while Pittman, Tate and Pierce remain situations to watch.
