Full load for Brady at practice

Dec 24, 2009

Patriots quarterback Tom Brady fully participated in Thursday's practice, one day after sitting out the team's entire practice.

Brady has been playing through rib and right finger injuries since the team's Dec. 6 loss in Miami.

Elsewhere on the injury front, defensive linemen Vince Wilfork (foot) and Ty Warren (ankle) were limited for the second day in a row. Outside linebacker Tully Banta-Cain returned to practice after missing Wednesday's session, but had limited participation because of a shoulder injury.

Other than the returns of Banta-Cain, Brady and receiver Randy Moss (whose Wednesday absence was not injury related), there were no other changes on the participation report from Wednesday.

“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.

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.
