Steelers TE Ladarius Green 'pleasant surprise' at practice so far

Nov 01, 2016

Ladarius Green is still on the physically unable to perform list but started practicing Oct. 25. The Steelers have a 21-day window from that date to activate Green, who signed a four-year, $20 million deal in the offseason.

Though it's uncertain when Green will be physically ready coming off his ankle injury, Tomlin has noticed Green's preparation.

"It has been a pleasant surprise he’s displayed some detail in his work," Tomlin said. "I think we’re going to analyze it week to week, with this week being included in that as well."

Fantasy Impact:

Don't be surprised if Green stays out of the lineup for this weekend's game against the Baltimore Ravens, with Jesse James and Xavier Grimble remaining the Steelers' top two tight ends. But Green's practice work is a positive sign, the story said.

Saints coach Darren Rizzi said team is expected to open the practice window for both RB Kendre Miller and WR Bub Means this week as they're eligible to return from IR.

Related players: Alvin Kamara

Fantasy Impact:

Another beat reporter, Ross Jackson, went on add in a post on X that Miller will get a clean slate and it's "all gas, no brakes" when Miller gets back. With the Saints not going anywhere, the return of Miller could eat into Kamara's workload. Taysom Hill is out for the season, so Kamara may get an extra crack at the end zone now and then, but it's probably worth it for the Saints to get more looks at Miller to close out the season. It's just something for Kamara owners to keep in mind once Miller is back on the field.

Tests today confirmed that Saints TE Taysom Hill is out for the year with the knee injury he suffered Sunday, per source.

Fantasy Impact:

This was the fear after the injury happened during Sunday's game. Hill had six rushing touchdowns this season as that's the area where he did the most damage this year. The injury should open up more chances for Alvin Kamara, but the Saints lose another offensive weapon for the rest of the season. Hill is under contract with the Saints for one more season.
