QB Sanchez opens practice with first team

Aug 08, 2009

Mark Sanchez got the news last night and he could hardly sleep. Offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer told the team that Sanchez and Clemens would begin alternating reps with the first team and Sanchez was up first in the morning workout.

The rookie, who took all of the first-team reps for the first time, didn't disappoint. He opened the practice in 11-on-11 with a 40-yard touchdown to wide receiver Jerricho Cotchery and he was on from there. He completed 10 of 19 passes with two touchdowns and one interception. He got his unit in and out of the huddle and the temp was crisp.

Clemens hit four of 12 passes with one interception and two near interceptions.

“I will be playing on Sunday. Very excited, can’t pass up playing the Packers. I will be out there for sure.”

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.

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.
