BUF: TE Nelson says shoulder is okay

Sep 21, 2009

Bills TE Shawn Nelson indicated on his twitter account that his shoulder injury is not too bad.

Here’s what Nelson tweeted Sunday night after the game.

Shawn Nelson89: thanks for the support. Shoulder is ok. looking foward to being with my brothers against the Saints! G nite tweeters.

Nelson sustained the injury in the first half of the win over the Bucs and did not return. If his shoulder is in fact okay the Bills will have dodged a big bullet. Nelson has been a mismatch in the passing game and with the injury to fellow TE Derek Schouman losing both for any length of time could make life difficult for the Bills at the TE position.

Head coach Dick Jauron is expected to provide an update on Monday on all the injured players (Butler, McKelvin, Nelson, Schouman).

“I will be playing on Sunday. Very excited, can’t pass up playing the Packers. I will be out there for sure.”

George Kittle says he’s good to go for Sunday

Fantasy Impact:

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.
