Cowboys WR Dez Bryant (concussion) returns to field

Aug 28, 2016

For the first time since suffering a concussion in practice last week, Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Dez Bryant returned to the field.

Bryant suffered his concussion after a glancing blow from safety Barry Church on Aug. 22 and didn't make the trip to Seattle for last week’s preseason game.

Fantasy Impact:

Cowboys head coach Jason Garrett said Bryant will go through individual drills Sunday but would not go through any team drills. He is scheduled for more tests later. The Cowboys have not played their starters in a final preseason game in years, so the next game action for Bryant is likely to be Week 1 against the New York Giants on Sept. 11, the story said.

Seahawks ruled out RB Kenneth Walker III for Thursday night’s game at Chicago.

Related Players: Zach Charbonnet, Kenny McIntosh

Fantasy Impact:

No mention of Charbonnet here, so we can assume he's in a good place to take a massive workload against a Bears defense that ranks 27th in RB aFPA. Fire up Charbs as an RB2.

The Eagles list QB Jalen Hurts as DNP on their estimated practice report because of a concussion, putting his status for this weekend in doubt.

Things aren't trending well for Hurts, as fantasy managers should be looking for a Championship Week back-up as soon as possible.

Steelers WR George Pickens officially Active for Christmas Day

Chiefs Pro-Bowl DT Chris Jones officially is inactive today vs. the Steelers.

Steelers CB Joey Porter Jr. officially is inactive, WR George Pickens officially active.

Related Players: Calvin Austin III, Van Jefferson, Mike Williams

Fantasy Impact:

The Steelers WR room looks a little more palatable with Pickens in the lineup, but it's still not enough to push Russell Wilson above deep-league SuperFlex territory. Consider Pickens a WR3 for Week 17.
