Theo Riddick out with undisclosed injury

Jul 31, 2016

The Detroit Lions have suffered their first injury of training camp.

Tailback Theo Riddick participated the first two days of camp, but missed Sunday's padded practice due to an issue that coach Jim Caldwell declined to disclose. He watched from the sidelines in shorts and a baseball cap.

"Anytime you don't have someone out there you'd like them to be out there working," Lions coach Jim Caldwell said. "But he'll be all right."

Fantasy Impact:

Riddick is coming off a season in which he set club records for receptions and receiving yards by a tailback, and figures to have an equally expansive role in the new Jim Bob Cooter offense. Ameer Abdullah and Stevan Ridley both returned in time for the start of training camp on Friday, though Abdullah is wearing a red no-contact jersey. His activity has ramped up the past two days, though, working as the club's No. 1 tailback and also shagging punts.

“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.
