Carlos Hyde passes concussion test

Sep 20, 2015

Carlos Hyde was examined for a concussion late in the San Francisco 49ers' eventual 43-18 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday.

And while he passed the test, he was not put back into the game.

“That was my call,” 49ers coach Jim Tomsula said.

The game was out of hand by the time Hyde went into the locker room for the evaluation.

“I got hit on the crown of my helmet, so I was dizzy when I got up,” said Hyde, who finished with 43 yards on 14 carries (he also lost a fumble on an exchange in the shotgun with quarterback Colin Kaepernick) a week after his Monday Night Football star turn with 168 yards rushing.

“I felt better when I got to the sideline. The concussion test, I passed that and I was ready to go but they pulled me.”

Fantasy Impact:

Hyde took a beating all game long, because even before Steelers safety Mike Mitchell caught him with the helmet shot, he sent Hyde to the sidelines in the first half with a leg tackle. Since Hyde passed the test and it seems as though it was a coach's decision to keep him out, perhaps we can assume his Week 3 outlook is OK at this time. The 49ers play at Arizona in Week 3.

Cowboys TE Jake Ferguson officially Out for Week 13

Adam Schefter

yesterday · 7:52 PM EST

Cowboys ruled out Jake Ferguson for the Thanksgiving game vs. the New York Giants due to his concussion. His replacement, once again, will be Luke Schoonmaker.

Fantasy Impact:

This was expected, but it could have been a nice matchup for the No. 2 pass-catcher. Schoonmaker is a little less exciting but is worth a TE stream for desperate managers.

Seahawks WRs DK Metcalf, Tyler Lockett miss Wednesday practice

yesterday · 7:48 PM EST

The Seahawks list DK Metcalf and Tyler Lockett as non-participants in practice today. These appear to be new injuries (though Lockett was also listed with a knee injury in Week 7). Leonard Williams has been playing through his foot injury the past few weeks.

Related Players: Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Jake Bobo

Fantasy Impact:

This is obviously not a great sign for Geno Smith or the general offensive environment for the Seahawks. We would have to imagine that JSN would be seeing his fifth double-digit target game of the season if either of the two were forced to miss Week 13, which catapults him into solid WR2 territory. We'll keep an eye on the reports through the rest of the week.

Giants QB Tommy DeVito officially Questionable for Week 13

Giants QB Tommy DeVito (right forearm) is listed as questionable for tomorrow against the Cowboys. Drew Lock, his backup, took some first-team reps just in case.

Fantasy Impact:

What a treat this game will be. Whether DeVito or Lock is back there on Thanksgiving, they both need to remain firmly on waiver wires.
