Delhomme ready to return?

Dec 14, 2009

There appears to at least be a chance that quarterback Jake Delhomme will return to practice this week for the Carolina Panthers after missiing two games with a broken finger.

Delhomme acknowledged after yesterday's 20-10 loss at New England that it was at least a possibility. In the locker room, his right hand wasn't wrapped and his index and middle fingers didn't appear to be taped together anymore.

Asked if he'd be ready for practice Wednesday, Delhomme said "We'll see."

Coach John Fox stayed with his usual "day to day" declaration for Delhomme's status.

The Panthers are 1-1 with Matt Moore subbing for Delhomme at quarterback, but the offense continues to struggle, scoring 26 points in the past two games and 49 points in the past four games.

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.

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.
