Jordan Love's MRI reveals sprained MCL, expected to miss some time

Sep 07, 2024

Packers QB Jordan Love suffered a sprained MCL, an MRI Saturday revealed.

Fantasy Impact:

His ACL is intact and the injury is not expected to be season-ending. Love is expected to miss some time. Malik Willis entered the game after Love suffered the injury during the final offensive drive for the Packers in Friday's 34-29 loss to the Eagles in Brazil. The Packers also have Sean Clifford on their practice squad at the moment. A positive note for Love from that standpoint.

Ezekiel Elliott (disciplinary reasons) to be inactive vs. Falcons

Cowboys RB Ezekiel Elliott will be inactive for Sunday’s game against the Falcons due to disciplinary reasons.

Fantasy Impact:

Elliott will not even travel with the team to Atlanta. The Cowboys elevated Dalvin Cook from the practice squad to help fill out the depth chart. With Elliott out, Rico Dowdle is in line for an increase in work, though it is a tough matchup against one of the better run defenses in the league this season in Atlanta. Dowdle is an RB3/Flex while Cook is a deeper-league option and maybe a bit of a desperation play.

Patriots QB Drake Maye cleared concussion protocol and will play Sunday against the Titans.

Fantasy Impact:

Maye suffered the concussion last week against the Jets on a hit by linebacker Jamien Sherwood that landed the defender a fine. The Titans usually sport one of the better defenses but cornerback L’Jarius Sneed will not play. Still, given the worries about the offense, Maye ranks outside our top 25 quarterbacks this week.

Rams expected to have Puka Nacua Sunday, reportedly on team plane

The Rams are expected to have WR Puka Nacua (knee) available for Sunday’s game against the Seahawks.

Fantasy Impact:

Nacua suffered a knee injury during practice this week but the injury was not expected to be considered serious. According to Russini, Nacua is on the team plane to Seattle. If Nacua can go, he will be one of the better fantasy options. He is currently WR18 on our board in a pretty favorable matchup against the Seahawks.
