MIN: QB Rosenfels says ankle tweak no big deal

Aug 16, 2009

hat was even more impressive about Sage Rosenfels' play Friday night is that he did most of it after tweaking his right ankle early in the first drive.

On the fourth play of the exhibition game at Indianapolis, the Vikings quarterback was under pressure from Colts defensive tackle Eric Foster. He got the ball off, completing a pass to Bobby Wade, but immediately after the ball left Rosenfels' hand, Foster inadvertently stepped on his foot.

Rosenfels continued to play, and after Chester Taylor finished the drive with a touchdown run, Rosenfels had his ankle taped and returned for another series.

Rosenfels said after the game that he was fine and that the tweak wasn't a big deal.

"I'll be all right and be ready for next week," he said.

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.
