DeSean Jackson expected to play

Sep 25, 2009

After participating fully in Friday's practice, wide receiver Desean Jackson is expected to play against the Kansas City Chiefs, head coach Andy Reid said. Running back Brian Westbrook is listed as questionable with an ankle sprain and quarterback Donovan Mcnabb is listed as doubtful, although both players continue to improve.

Offensive lineman Todd Herremans and cornerback Dimitri Patterson are the only players who will be listed as out. Safety Quintin Demps is listed as doubtful with a quad strain.

Reid also held Kevin Curtis out of Friday's practice with a knee injury and Curtis is listed as doubtful. Reid said that he just felt it was time to give Curtis a rest in the hopes that the soreness in Curtis' knee will subside.

Reid said that if Curtis were unable to play, then rookie Jeremy Maclin would start opposite Desean Jackson and Reggie Brown would be active.

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

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.
