Giants RB Tyrone Tracy reportedly suffers sprain

Aug 13, 2024

Though things did not look good earlier on Tuesday, it appears Giants rookie running back Tyrone Tracy has avoided a major injury.

According to Mike Garafolo of NFL Media, New York believes Tracy has suffered a sprain.

Related players: Devin Singletary, Eric Gray, Dante Miller

Fantasy Impact:

Tracy went down with a non-contact injury during Tuesday’s session and his right leg was immediately placed in an air cast. He was then carted off the field, the story went on to say. It's hard to believe Tracy won't miss at least some time, which could put his potential RB2 job in jeopardy. Gray and Miller aren't necessarily household names, so Tracy could still eventually slide back into the RB2 role at some point. Even though Singletary seems poised for a big workload, the Giants RB2 job should hold fantasy value, even if just handcuff.

Justin Jefferson (quad) considered “day to day”

Vikings WR Justin Jefferson is considered “day to day” after suffering a quadricep contusion during Sunday’s win over the 49ers.

Fantasy Impact:

Jefferson doesn’t seem overly concerned about the injury. “I’m not seriously injured,” Jefferson told the media after the game. Jefferson dealt with a hamstring injury last season but this sounds like it will be a minor issue. Jefferson believes he’ll be ready to go for Week 3 against the Texans.

Hollywood Brown not expected to play in regular season

Chiefs WR Hollywood Brown is not expected to play during the regular season due to his shoulder injury.

Fantasy Impact:

Brown needs surgery on his shoulder. He was already placed on injured reserve and now his season ends before even taking a regular season snap with the Chiefs. This should means plenty of deep targets for rookie Xavier Worthy, as well as work in the run game, as we saw against the Ravens. Rashee Rice will gobble up targets as the main weapon for Patrick Mahomes. Unfortunate news for Hollywood.

A.J. Brown (hamstring) misses practices Saturday, questionable for Monday vs. Falcons

Eagles WR A.J. Brown did not practice Saturday due to a hamstring injury and is listed as questionable for Monday’s game against the Falcons.

Fantasy Impact:

Brown began feeling tightness in his hamstring during practice Friday and Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni said the team would be “cautious” with him Saturday. So this could be a case of the Eagles just giving him some rest before Monday’s game. If Brown can’t go, Jahan Dotson could be in line for a bigger role Monday. If possible, have a backup option ready for Brown, such as Dotson if he’s available.
