Cooley could play as soon as Nov. 29th

Oct 29, 2009

Redskins TE Chris Cooley likely won't miss the rest of the season, as Jim Zorn originally feared. Dr. Mark Myerson successfully repaired the fracture in Cooley's lower right tibia on Wednesday morning. With Zorn standing just two feet away, Cooley had three screws inserted into the ankle.

"It was a very noninvasive procedure - it was done in such a way that if all goes well, we'll get him back in as little as four weeks," Zorn said Wednesday during his weekly appearance on "The Sports Fix" on ESPN 980.

Cooley will be kept on the 53-man roster, leaving him eligible to play if the injury allows him to return for the final month of the season. The Redskins will play short-handed in the interim, a move Zorn called "a risk, and it looks like it's going to be a pretty good risk."

Cowboys TE Jake Ferguson officially Out for Week 12

Cowboys list TE Jake Ferguson as out for Sunday’s game vs. Washington due to his concussion.

Related Players: Luke Schoonmaker

Fantasy Impact:

This puts Schoonmaker more or less in TE streaming consideration, but there are far better options this week, which puts him low on the totem pole.

Eagles WR DeVonta Smith officially Out for Week 12

Eagles ruled out WR DeVonta Smith (hamstring) for Sunday against the Rams.

Related Players: A.J. Brown, Jahan Dotson, Johnny Wilson, Dallas Goedert

Fantasy Impact:

It's a bit of a crapshoot as to who the "WR2" on the offense will be, but now that he's ruled out, Brown and Goedert should get a nice boost to their bottom line. That would lock Goedert into a no-doubt TE1 role in Week 12.
