Josh Cribbs lobbying for Terrell Owens in Cleveland

May 14, 2010

Browns Head Coach Eric Mangini said the Browns will consider adding a veteran wide receiver if he is “the right fit.” It’s debatable whether Mangini’s wildest dreams include Terrell Owens in an orange helmet, but a Browns captain put in a plug for the aging superstar Thursday.

During a live chat on NFL.com, Josh Cribbs was asked where he thinks Owens, an unrestricted free agent, will land in 2010. “Hopefully in Cleveland,” Cribbs replied. “I think he’s got a little bit left in the tank. He'll eventually be with a team in training camp.

Fantasy Impact:

Terrell Owens can't take all the blame for his underwhelming season in Buffalo last year, given the offense he had around him. But a roster spot in Cleveland wouldn't be much of a fantasy upgrade for TO unless Jake Delhomme can somehow resurrect his career. Terrell Owens will turn 37 during the 2010 season, and it's hard to imagine he has another big fantasy season in him unless he lands in a great situation (not Cleveland).

A quick update on Raiders quarterback Gardner Minshew: he suffered a broken collarbone against the Broncos and is out for the season.

Fantasy Impact:

We had just posted the quote from head coach Antonio Pierce, saying it didn’t look good. It turned out it wasn’t good. Minshew looked like he was in a lot of pain after taking the his late in the game. Now we have an understanding of that pain. Desmond Ridder came on in relief and the team is expected to activate Aidan O’Connell this week from injured reserve. The Raiders visit Kansas City on Friday.

Antonio Pierce on Gardner Minshew injury: ‘It doesn’t look good.’

Raiders head coach Antonio Pierce said “It doesn’t look good” in regards to the shoulder injury to quarterback Gardner Minshew.

Fantasy Impact:

Minshew went down late in the game against the Broncos after taking a sack and looked to be in quite a bit of pain. He’ll undergo further testing to determine the severity of the injury.

Desmond Ridder came on in replacement. He went 5-of-10 for 64 yards and was sacked twice. If Minshew is to miss time, which looks very likely, the Raiders may look to see what they have in the former Falcons quarterback. Vegas is also expected to have Aidan O’Connell back this week. The Raiders are on a short week as they head to Kansas City on Black Friday.

Romeo Doubs ruled out with concussion

Green Bay Packers

yesterday · 6:48 PM EST

Packers WR Romeo Doubs was ruled out of Sunday’s game against the 49ers with a concussion.

Fantasy Impact:

Doubs suffered the injury while attempting a catch in the end zone and landing hard on the back of his helmet. Doubs will not return tonight and it’s almost certain he’ll be ruled out for Thursday night against the Dolphins. If that’s the case, his next chance to return would be the following Thursday against the Lions.
