Philly.com: In other injury news, corner Asante Samuel (hip)
participated in a full practice yesterday after sitting out
Wednesday. Running back Brian Westbrook (knee) and fullback Dan Klecko (shoulder) sat out for the second straight day. Safety
Brian Dawkins (back), defensive lineman Victor Abiamiri (foot),
and linebacker Stewart Bradley (ribs) took part in a full practice
after being limited on Wednesday Asked what the Eagles would do at
fullback if Klecko can't play, Mornhinweg said backup running back
Correll Buckhalter would play the position, as he did at times
during Sunday's 26-14 first-round victory over Minnesota. "You saw
him last game; he will play fullback for us," Mornhinweg said.
"Kyle [Eckel] is getting quite a few reps there. So we'll see on
Dan, if he's available. Then Buck will play that fullback spot."

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.
