Vikings lose Kendricks; Arnette, Gore suffer concussions

The Minnesota Vikings lost 2019 All-Pro linebacker Eric Kendricks to an aggravated calf injury in warmups prior to their 27-24 overtime win against the Jacksonville Jaguars

Evaluated for concussion St. Brown is being evaluated for a concussion, and his return to Sunday's game against the Eagles is questionable.

Impact The Packers likely won't throw again as they look to run out the clock on a late lead, so the depth receiver likely won't need to see the field again in this one. St. Brown will need to pass the league's five-step concussion protocol in order to play in Week 14 against the Lions.

Ready for Sunday's game St. Brown (knee) won't carry an injury destination into Sunday's game versus the Eagles, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.

Impact St. Brown showed some flashes in this past Sunday's win over the Bears, finishing with two receptions for 39 yards -- both season highs -- and a seven-yard carry over 38 snaps. He'll look to build on that effort and continue establishing himself in the Packers offense against a strong Eagles secondary that has let up just 210.7 passing yards per game (seventh-fewest in the league).

Starting to make some plays St. Brown caught both his targets for 39 yards in Sunday's victory over the Bears.

Impact It took St. Brown a few weeks to get into the swing of things after he made his season debut in Week 6, but he is starting to make some plays, catching three passes of at least 15 yards over the last two games. He's still behind three other players on the depth chart at wide receiver, but with the Packers' No. 5 and No. 6 receivers playing a combined four snaps to St. Brown's 38 in Week 12, he seems to have ensured he will not drop any further than that.

Available Week 12 St. Brown (knee) is listed as active Sunday against the Bears.

Impact A knee injury has made St. Brown a regular on Packers practice reports this season, but he's appeared in each of the last six contests under a variety of snap counts. His workload is difficult to project, but with all of Davante Adams, Allen Lazard, Marquez Valdes-Scantling, Darrius Shepherd and Malik Taylor available Sunday, St. Brown may not surpass his average of one target per game in this one.

NOVEMBER 29, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

Carries questionable tag St. Brown (knee) is questionable for Sunday's game versus the Bears, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.

Impact St. Brown was limited in every practice this week but hasn't gained clearance for Week 12. Marquez Valdez-Scantling (Achilles) is also considered questionable, but both Davante Adams (ankle) and Allen Lazard (core) are good to go. If St. Brown ends up sitting out, Darrius Shepherd and Malik Taylor figure to see increased usage on offense.

Bears name Mitchell Trubisky starting QB vs. Packers

Mitchell Trubisky will be the Chicago Bears’ starting quarterback against the Green Bay Packers on Sunday night

Limited again Thursday St. Brown (knee) was a limited participant during Thursday's practice session.

Impact Davante Adams (ankle) was held out of practice Thursday, while fellow receivers Allen Lazard (abdomen), Darrius Shepherd (shoulder) and Marquez Valdes-Scantling (Achilles) were all listed on the injury report with varying issues. St. Brown has yet to record more than one reception or 23 receiving yards in an appearance this season, but he could be in line for an enhanced role if one or two members of the position group prove unable to go Week 12 against Chicago. The 24-year-old still has to fight through an issue of his own, of course, but limited sessions in consecutive days provide hope that he will be active.

NOVEMBER 26, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

Back on injury report St. Brown (knee) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.

Impact St. Brown has been on the injury report every week since being activated from IR in Week 6. There's no indication that his status for this Sunday's game against the Bears is in jeopardy. His role took a hit when Allen Lazard returned to the lineup last week, as St. Brown played just 15 snaps on offense and drew one target.

NOVEMBER 25, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

Bumped down depth chart St. Brown hauled in his lone target for 23 yards in Sunday's loss to the Colts.

Impact St. Brown recorded his longest reception of the season Week 11, but the return of fellow wideout Allen Lazard knocked him down a spot on the depth chart, and he tallied about half as many snaps as he did the week before. St. Brown is safely ahead of Darrius Shepherd and Malik Taylor these days, but he should be viewed as the Packers' fourth receiver moving forward, which is hardly a fantasy-friendly role on any team, and even more so on one that rarely has more than three wideouts on the field at once.

NOVEMBER 23, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

Cleared for Week 11 St. Brown (knee) is active for Sunday's game at Indianapolis.

Impact The 24-year-old continues to manage the knee injury by limiting his practice reps, but it has yet to impact his gameday availability since his return from injured reserve. St. Brown played a season-high 48 percent of offensive snaps last week, though the return of Allen Lazard (core) figures to cut into his playing time.

NOVEMBER 22, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable against Colts St. Brown (knee) is questionable for Sunday's game versus the Colts, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.

Impact St. Brown is trending in the right direction after logging two straight limited practice sessions to close out the week. After logging a season-high 31 snaps last week against the Jaguars, St. Brown could revert to a reserve role if Allen Lazard (core) plays. Lazard is listed as questionable.

Packers' Adams returns to practice, 'good to go' on Sunday

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Davante Adams returned to practice Friday and is expected to play Sunday at Indianapolis despite dealing with an ankle injury this week

NOVEMBER 20, 2020 • ASSOCIATED PRESS

Upgrades to limited in practice St. Brown (knee) logged a limited practice session Thursday.

Impact St. Brown exceeded his previous season high in offensive snaps by 31 percent during Sunday's 24-20 win against the Jaguars. Given that there was no injury reported postgame, his DNP in practice Wednesday came as somewhat of a surprise. Now trending in the right direction with a Week 11 matchup against the Colts approaching, St. Brown would likely serve as the No. 4 receiver in a scenario where he is able to play, and Allen Lazard makes his return from Oct. 1 core-muscle surgery. Lazard remains questionable after logging back-to-back limited practices.

NOVEMBER 20, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

Misses practice Wednesday St. Brown (knee) didn't participate in Wednesday's practice, Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

Impact It has been standard for St. Brown to be limited in the first practice of the week of late, but the DNP is a bit concerning, although it could simply be maintenance related, as he handled a season-high 31 snaps in last week's win over the Jaguars. We should have a better grasp on his recovery when the Packers release their Thursday practice report. If St. Brown's able to play Sunday versus the Saints, his role will depend on whether Davante Adams (ankle) and Allen Lazard (core) suit up.

NOVEMBER 18, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

New season high in snaps St. Brown played a season-high 31 snaps in Sunday's victory over the Jaguars but was not targeted.

Impact St. Brown was shut out for the fourth time in five games this season, which tells you all you need to know about his current fantasy prospects. However, he played easily the third-most snaps among Packers wideouts Week 10, and that bodes well for his chances of hanging onto the No. 4 spot on the depth chart when Allen Lazard (abdomen) returns to action in the next week or two.

NOVEMBER 16, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

Will play Sunday St. Brown (knee) is active for Sunday's game against the Jaguars.

Impact The 24-year-old was considered questionable as he continues to nurse the knee issue, but he's been cleared for Sunday's contest. St. Brown has caught only one of five targets for 12 yards while playing limited offensive snaps in four games since coming off injured reserve, and he's unlikely to have much fantasy relevance again this week.

NOVEMBER 15, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable with knee injury St. Brown (knee) is officially listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Jaguars, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.

Impact St. Brown has managed to suit up for the last four games and play through his knee injury, but that doesn't necessarily guarantee that he'll be available against the Jaguars. In any case, the third-year receiver has only one catch this season, so in most fantasy formats he won't be worthy of starting consideration even if active.

NOVEMBER 13, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

Reps capped Thursday St. Brown (knee) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

Impact The wideout has had his reps managed in practice the past few weeks despite not missing a game the past four weeks, so it's likely that he'll be ready for Week 10. The Notre Dame product only saw six percent of his team's offensive snaps in last weeks win over the 49ers, so he's not likely to affect much from a fantasy perspective.

NOVEMBER 12, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

Still bothered by knee injury St. Brown (knee) was a limited participant during Wednesday's practice.

Impact St. Brown has been on the injury report with this knee issue for three weeks now, but he's played in every game. The third-year wideout's workload has fluctuated in that stretch, but he's mostly been left out of the offensive gameplan, recording just one 12-yard reception through four games. His status for Sunday's game against the Jaguars isn't a major question, but his role could take a hit if Allen Lazard (abdomen) returns from IR.

NOVEMBER 12, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

All clear Wednesday St. Brown (knee) doesn't carry an injury designation heading into Thursday's game against San Francisco.

Impact The Notre Dame product was listed as a limited participant throughout the week, so the fact that he's ready to play is a positive sign for the offense. St. Brown saw just 22 offensive snaps and three targets in last week's loss to Minnesota, so expect him to handle a similar role for Thursday's matchup with the 49ers.

NOVEMBER 4, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

Estimated as limited participant St. Brown (knee) was listed as a limited practice participant on Monday's estimated injury report.

Impact The 24-year-old didn't actually practice coming off Sunday's loss to the Vikings, but the fact he was estimated as a limited participant is a solid sign he avoided aggravating his knee injury. St. Brown played 22 offensive snaps and caught one of three targets for 12 yards against the Vikings. He'll likely fill a similar role Thursday at San Francisco, assuming he's available.
