Bills QB Fitzpatrick misses 2nd straight practice

Dec 24, 2009

Bills interim coach Perry Fewell is taking a wait-and-see approach with his quarterbacks after starter Ryan Fitzpatrick(notes) missed his second straight practice because of an ankle injury.

Fewell said Fitzpatrick is feeling better and did “a little throwing” before practice Thursday as the Bills (5-9) prepare to play at Atlanta (7-7) this weekend. With backup Trent Edwards(notes) out with an ankle injury, third-stringer Brian Brohm(notes) would make his NFL debut if Fitzpatrick can’t play.

Hurt against New England last weekend, Fitzpatrick walked stiffly around the locker room and, with a smile, said “Merry Christmas,” when asked how he felt.

“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.
