Jags QB Blake Bortles (shoulder) expected to play Week 12

Nov 21, 2016

The sprained right shoulder that Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Blake Bortles suffered during Sunday’s loss to the Detroit Lions isn’t expected to keep him from playing against the Buffalo Bills on Sunday.

Bortles will get treatment throughout the week and will appear on the team’s injury report, but coach Gus Bradley said Monday, "Just what I heard today, it sounds like he should be in good shape."

Fantasy Impact:

Bortles was hurt when he was hit by Lions defensive end Ezekiel Ansah and safety Miles Killebrew after a 2-yard gain late in the first quarter. He left the field early before halftime to get his shoulder evaluated -- Chad Henne took the Jaguars’ final snap, a kneel-down -- but played the entire second half.

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

George Kittle says he’s good to go for Sunday

Related Players: Eric Saubert

Fantasy Impact:

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.

Bears RB D'Andre Swift misses Wednesday practice

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.
