Titans WR Britt could miss 6-8 weeks

Nov 04, 2010

According to a league source, Tennessee Titans wide receiver Kenny Britt could be out for up to six or eight weeks with his injured right hamstring.

The loss of Britt is likely part of the reason the Titans went ahead and made the move Wednesday to acquire veteran receiver Randy Moss off waivers from the Minnesota Vikings.

Britt went down with 4:27 left in the first quarter, against the San Diego Chargers , on a deep ball thrown down the left side of the field from Vince Young. Britt was helped off the field by the medical staff while holding the back of his right leg.

Britt had enjoyed a career game against the Philadelphia Eagles the week before, catching seven passes for 225 yards and three touchdowns.

He has already been declared out for the Miami game on Nov. 14.

Britt said Wednesday he was feeling better after one day of treatment on the hamstring.

“It's amazing how one day of treatment can help you out,” Britt said Wednesday. “We've got great trainers, but right now we're working to get me back out there. I'm out for Miami, but we'll see after that.”

Both Titans coach Jeff Fisher and Britt have said the injury is not season-ending.

Fantasy Impact:

Welcome aboard Randy Moss... Britt's injury time frame makes it tough to get him back in time for fantasy playoffs. A lot is being made of Britt lately, who had a breakout game against Philly and was racking up TDs. But really, Britt was still a WR3 play for the most part and the biggest thing lost is the potential of what he was developing into.

The NFL’s transaction report for Monday shows that the Broncos have waived Greg Dulcich off the 53-man roster.

Those numbers made him a hot prospect for a while, however, hamstring injuries have caused him to fall off the fantasy radar. He's been inactive for the team's last eight games, the story added.

49ers quarterback Brock Purdy did some light throwing without issue Monday, coach Kyle Shanahan said.

Purdy, who missed Sunday’s game with right shoulder soreness, will rest Tuesday.

“We’ll see how it feels on Wednesday,” Shanahan said, via KNBR. “Hopefully, it responds better this week than it did last week with the rest.”

Fantasy Impact:

Purdy appeared to injure the shoulder when his hand hit the arm of Seahawks cornerback Devon Witherspoon as he released a pass early in the fourth quarter in Week 11, the story said. The story added the 49ers, though, don’t know specifically when Purdy injured it as he not miss time in that game with the injury.
An MRI showed no damage but after experiencing soreness Purdy got a second MRI last week. The Niners will need Purdy in Week 13 when they travel to the Bills in a Sunday night game. Those counting on Purdy may need to have a backup plan in place this week.

Quarterback Daniel Jones cleared waivers as expected Monday, making him a free agent.

Jones now is free to sign with any team.

The Giants now are responsible for the $11.83 million. The story also added, 10 teams reportedly already have reached out to Jones. The story suggested Jones' best move would be to sign to a contender’s practice squad because it would allow Jones to sign to the active roster of a different team if a starter gets injured. The Ravens, Vikings and Raiders have been rumored to be interested in Jones.
