ESPN: Eagles RB Brian Westbrook did not practice Wednes...

Jan 06, 2009

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.

Seahawks RB Kenneth Walker listed as DNP; RB Zach Carbonnet full

Seahawks listed RB Kenneth Walker III as a Did Not Practice today while RB Zach Charbonnet was upgraded to full practice ahead of Thursday night’s game at Chicago.

Fantasy Impact:

Walker is dealing with an ankle injury and as we get closer to Thursday his status really seems to be in doubt. Charbonnet would be the team's lead back and looks to be good to go despite dealing with an elbow injury. He'd once again be a great option if Walker is unable to go.

Charger RBs Gus Edwards, J.K. Dobbins listed as limited

Gus Edwards is listed as a limited participant due to an ankle injury. Edwards ran 14 times for 68 yards and two touchdowns in last Sunday’s win over the Broncos.

J.K. Dobbins (knee) was also limited in his first appearance on the injury report since being designated for return from injured reserve.

Fantasy Impact:

The story said if Dobbins is going to play against the Patriots, the Chargers will have to activate him by Friday. It could be a tricky situation depending on each back's status. Owners will want to pay close attention to this situation leading up to game time.

Bengals QB Joe Burrow, WR Tee Higgins listed as limited

Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow told reporters on Tuesday that he feels like he’s totally past his right wrist injury, but it still landed him on the team’s injury report.

Burrow was listed as limited due to the wrist and his knee

Wide receiver Tee Higgins (ankle, knee) was listed as limited as well,

Fantasy Impact:

The story said Burrow's injury shouldn’t create much cause for concern about his availability against the Broncos on Saturday since he was listed as limited all of last week before playing without issue in the team’s win over the Browns. Burrow added there are still things he does to help with it but he's pretty much past it. The story added Higgins also played without incident last Sunday after being on the report all week.
