Schouman joins Butler on I.R.

Sep 23, 2009

Bills players are off on Tuesdays, but that hasn't slowed the news coming from One Bills Drive.
The latest development: starting tight end Derek Schouman joining right tackle Brad Butler on injured reserve. Like Butler, Schouman's season has been cut short by a knee injury suffered in Sunday's 33-20 win over Tampa Bay.
Taking Schouman's place on the 53-man roster is tight end Jonathan Stupar, who was promoted from the team's practice squad for the second time this season. Stupar led the Bills with 15 catches for 155 yards and one touchdown in the preseason.
Schouman has gone on injured reserve twice in his first three seasons with the Bills. He missed the final eight games of his rookie year, 2007, with an ankle injury.

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

George Kittle says he’s good to go for Sunday

Fantasy Impact:

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.
