Giants injury updates

Aug 12, 2009

A day off from practice did wonders for me, but it doesn’t appear to have done much good for the Giants. The injury area and exercise bikes were just as crowded this morning as they were when we left them Monday night.

There was some good news. WR David Tyree (knee), LT Guy Whimper (toe) and DE Maurice Evans (leg) were back on the field. But there were still 11 players watching from the sidelines. The list included:
WR Steve Smith (knee), WR Hakeem Nicks (hamstring), CB Aaron Ross (leg), CB Corey Webster (hip), DT Barry Cofield (knee), DE Justin Tuck (foot), OL Cliff Louis (ankle), DT Chris Canty (hamstring), G Chis Snee (leg), LB Michael Boley (hip) and DT Rocky Bernard (hamstring).

Cooler weather for Bucs practice today -- Wirfs and Evans practicing again. Still no Zyon McCollum, but Troy Hill and Greg Gaines were practicing today.

Fantastic news for fantasy managers hanging on to Mike Evans: he should be considered a WR1 option immediately.

“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

Related Players: Eric Saubert

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.

Bears RB D'Andre Swift misses Wednesday practice

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.
