7:45 a.m.: Good morning, and happy football day.
Week 4 is upon us, which means bye weeks are here. Six teams are off this week, so fantasy football players will have to do some maneuvering with their lineups. That makes monitoring the injury situation across the league even more important.
Two of the most noteworthy names who are up in the air are Tennessee Titans quarterback Jake Locker and Houston Texans running back Arian Foster. Both players’ statuses are uncertain at the moment, but it sounds like one may be down and one may be up.
NFL Media’s Ian Rapoport reported about an hour ago that Locker probably won’t play against the Indianapolis Colts.

Foster, however, likely will play against the Buffalo Bills.

Both players are set to play in the 1 p.m. ET games, so we should know more in a short while. Stick with us throughout the day for updates on the early, late and Sunday night games.
