Bryant, Winslow slowed by minor injuries

Aug 03, 2009

Turns out WR Antonio Bryant missed practice with a minor knee injury.

Bryant "banged my knee" during Saturday's late practice and returned for Sunday's workout. But the injury was swollen this morning and the team decided it was best to give him some rest.

Bryant said it's the same knee he had trouble with last season, when fluid had to be drained from the joint. But this is not a recurrence of the same injury.

"I just banged my knee picking a fumble up off the ground," Bryant said.

Coach Raheem Morris called Bryant's status day to day. Morris described TE Kellen Winslow's ankle injury the same way. Winslow suffered the injury in this morning's practice and will be examined further through the day. But the initial indications were that it is not a serious injury.

Kittle returns to a great matchup against a Packers defense that ranks 26th in TE aFPA. He should be fired up as a high-end TE1 once again.

Per Bears head coach Matt Eberflus: Ryan Bates remains in the concussion protocol. Elijah Hicks (ankle) and D'Andre Swift (groin) won't practice.

Teven Jenkins will be limited.

Related Players: Roschon Johnson, Travis Homer

Fantasy Impact:

This is definitely a situation to keep an eye on, as Johnson would have a huge workload if Swift were to miss Week 12. Homer has three rush attempts and zero targets on the year.
