Cowboys to stick with Kitna

Dec 15, 2010

Veteran Jon Kitna, 38, will remain the quarterback until the team makes a final decision on whether to bring Tony Romo back from injury.

It means there will be no concerted effort to get extended playing time for third-string quarterback Stephen McGee to evaluate him for next season. But Jason Garrett said McGee has made progress from last season.

"I think he's done a nice job," Garrett said. "If you remember last year, Stephen got hurt in preseason before the '09 season, his rookie year, and didn't get a chance to play in that all-important last preseason game for a third string quarterback. That was a little bit of a setback for him because snaps are so valuable. Then if you fast-forward to this year he had a good off-season, he had a good training camp and then he got a chance to play in that last preseason game against Miami. I think he represented himself well. He certainly has the physical tools. His big thing was his inexperience as a drop-back passer coming into this league. But he's someone who works very hard; he's very committed to getting better each and every day."

Bears RB D'Andre Swift, WR Keenan Allen both Questionable for Week 12

D'Andre Swift is questionable to play Vikings with a groin injury, though he was limited Thursday and a full participant on Friday.

Keenan Allen is questionable with an ankle injury. He was limited on Friday, his first day on the participation report.

Related Players: Roschon Johnson, Travis Homer, D.J. Moore, Rome Odunze

Fantasy Impact:

Separate reports called Swift "very likely" to play, but this is seemingly a new issue for Allen.

If Keenan were to miss Week 12, it would boost the floor of all pass-catchers, namely Moore, Oduzne, and Cole Kmet. Moore + Odunze would sneak closer to WR2 territory than their low-end WR3 designations they have with a healthy Allen.

Chiefs RB Isiah Pacheco officially Out for Week 12

Charles Omenihu (knee) and Isiah Pacheco (ankle) won’t play on Sunday, per Coach Reid.

“Just taking it day-by-day,” Reid added.

Related Players: Samaje Perine

Fantasy Impact:

It was later reported that Pacheco was "healthy enough" but they're hoping to hold him back one more game with a short week coming up. This makes Hunt a volume-based RB2 in Week 12.

Cowboys WR CeeDee Lamb returns to Friday practice

CeeDee Lamb practiced today, per Cowboys head coach Mike McCarthy. That’s a good sign.

Lamb (back/foot) was limited in a walkthrough on Wednesday and missed practice on Thursday.

Related Players: Jalen Tolbert, KaVontae Turpin, Jalen Brooks, Ryan Flournoy

Fantasy Impact:

Obviously good news for the Cowboys' potential in rolling out an NFL offense in Week 12. The floor is capped for Lamb but we should expect a ton of action funneling his way against the Commanders, which puts him on the WR1/2 fringe.
