ESPN: Eagles RB Brian Westbrook did not practice Wednesday - and
might be limited for the rest of the week. Westbrook, who is
nursing a badly sprained right ankle and swollen left knee, told
ESPN's Sal Paolantonio on Wednesday that he probably won't
practice much this week. He will instead prepare for the Eagles'
divisional-round playoff game against the reigning Super Bowl
champion Giants with an intensive regimen of weightlifting,
stretching and running in a pool. "The good thing is that I didn't
tweak anything against the Vikings," Westbrook said. "I took a
pounding on the turf but I didn't re-injure anything so I'm not
starting from in a hole this week." Westbrook said he will start
against the Giants on Sunday, but only after taking a round of
anti-inflammatory medication on Saturday night and Sunday morning
to get the pain and swelling to a tolerable level.

“I will be playing on Sunday. Very excited, can’t pass up playing the Packers. I will be out there for sure.”

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.
