Jason La Canfora on TwItter

The league reportedly told the Steelers to proceed with game preparations against the Titans, which were forced to shut down its facilities until Saturday following eight new positive tests among the organization. Minnesota's facitilites, which provided 0 positive tests as of Tuesday afternoon, were also evacuated until further notice. The NFL is still discussing plans for postponement which include pushing both games to Monday/Tuesday night or rescheduling bye weeks to assist with games in Weeks 7 and 8. All ideas are on the table.

D. Johnson - WR

PIT

Diontae Johnson is officially in the concussion protocol.

As expected. Johnson left early in Week 3 and will have to clear tests before suiting up again. Concussions are tough to predict, meaning he's 50/50 as of Tuesday to play Week 4's contest. The Steelers are also waiting on the Titans' COVID-19 test results to make sure they'll be able to play this weekend (or perhaps Monday) after eight members of the organization tested positive. If healthy, Johnson is a WR2 while leading the team in target share. It's best to at least have a backup plan in place in the short term.

D. Helm - TE

49ers signed TE Daniel Helm.

Helm was on the Bucs' practice squad, but with Jordan Reed (knee) sidelined for the next two months, they need bodies. Helm is familiar with coach Kyle Shanahan after spending time with the Niners in recent seasons. George Kittle and Ross Dwelley are the top two options still.

D. Jones - T

TEN

Titans placed DE DaQuan Jones, TE Tommy Hudson, and LS Beau Brinkley on the COVID-19 list.

These three players and five other Titans staff members have tested positive. The team will stay away from facilities until at least Saturday, but they need to pass COVID-19 testing before attempting to play on Sunday. The NFL is prepared to delay the Titans vs. Steelers game to Monday if another day is needed. Because the Vikings played the Titans last Sunday, they too will be away from facilities until testing clears them. It's the first major scare in the NFL.

J. Crowder - WR

NYJ

Jamison Crowder (hamstring) remained "limited" on Tuesday.

He's now been "limited" back-to-back days after failing to practice last week and sitting out the Jets' dismal loss to the Colts. Crowder is desperately needed in the Jets' injury-ruined receiver corps, but the short week makes it complicated. It's possible Crowder ends up a game-time call for Thursday's showdown with the Broncos. If he does play, he can be reinserted as a workload-based, low-end WR3.

E. Thomas - DB

BAL

The Houston Chronicle reports the Texans have decided not to sign free agent S Earl Thomas.

"After a lot of internal discussion, Texans decided Earl Thomas wasn't a good fit," John McClain reported. Thomas took his physical but never worked out for the Texans. It's unclear if the medical review turned up an issue. The Texans were Thomas' first real interest after he was cut by the Ravens in late August. His NFL future is uncertain following the murky circumstances of his Baltimore departure.

A. Pierce - RB

CHI

Bears re-signed RB Artavis Pierce.

Pierce will take Tarik Cohen's (knee, injured reserve) roster spot. An UDFA out of Oregon State, Pierce is capable of playing all three downs. It's an extremely thin backfield, with only Ryan Nall behind David Montgomery. Pierce should be kept on watch lists in the event of a Montgomery injury.

P. Lindsay - RB

DEN

Phillip Lindsay (toe) remained "limited" on Tuesday.

The Broncos didn't actually practice on Tuesday, but they have no estimated Lindsay as "limited" back-to-back days. He got in a "limited" session last Friday before failing to suit up against the Bucs. He is probably on the wrong side of questionable for Thursday night's game against the Jets. If he can go, 10-12 touches will be a real possibility with the Broncos certain to lean on their running game with Brett Rypien under center.

E. Thomas - DB

BAL

Free agent Earl Thomas' workout with the Texans has been postponed following the Titans' COVID-19 outbreak.

NFL Network's Tom Pelissero points out the cancellation comes after the league "told clubs to review procedures for bringing in new players." Thomas had already taken his Texans physical. The workout should still follow sometime this week. The Texans have a Week 4 need at safety, so time is of the essence.
