Tomlinson wears a protective boot

Sep 17, 2009

Ladainian Tomlinson did not practice and wore a protective boot on his right ankle yesterday.

He said he holds out hope he will play Sunday while also acknowledging it is possible he will miss just his second regular season start in eight-plus seasons.

"It’s not anything that is going to keep me out for a long time," Tomlinson said. "We'll just wait and see how it plays out ... I’m taking it day by day. It is a sprain and that’s all it is."

While Tomlinson has finished the past two postseasons on the sideline die to knee and groin injuries, he has never missed a regular-season game due to injury. He was held out of the 2004 season finale by Marty Schottenheimer because the Chargers had already clinched homefield for the wild card playoff game that season.

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.
