Sparano: Swine flu test results Monday

Aug 23, 2009

Dolphins defensive backs Sean Smith and Jason Allen missed Saturday's preseason game with flulike symptoms and have been tested for swine flu.

According to Dolphins coach Tony Sparano, the team does not have the results of those tests yet and does not expect to get them until Monday at the earliest.

"We have no test results back at all, so nothing is confirmed," Sparano said after Saturday's 27-17 win over Carolina. "[It's] two kids that I pulled out tonight because they were sick."

A source confirmed that version but said it was "unlikely" either player has swine flu since both are heading back to South Florida on Sunday. First-round pick Vontae Davis took Smith's place in the starting lineup and played 3 ½ quarters. The two rookies roomed together earlier in training camp.

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.
