Bengals RB Gio Bernard's rehab going well

Jul 28, 2017

Bengals running back Giovani Bernard was back at practice for the start of training camp on Friday, a little more than eight months after tearing his left ACL.

Bernard stayed in Cincinnati almost the entire offseason so he could rehab with Bengals trainer Nick Cosgray. He said he gave himself only two weeks to visit his hometown of Boca Raton, Florida.

"And the only reason, I was like, 'Nick, I really just want to be able to get a different type of training, get used to the humidity so I'm ready for camp,'" Bernard said. "He gave me two weeks down there, and obviously I worked my butt off down there as well."

Fantasy Impact:

Bernard was making his usual cuts during team drills and showing off his speed down the sidelines. He admitted he felt so confident he might have even pushed it more than normal just to see how the knee responded. Bernard is the Bengals' best pass-blocking running back and one of their more versatile players. In 10 games last season he rushed for 337 yards and two touchdowns and caught 39 passes for 336 yards and a touchdown.

A quick update on Raiders quarterback Gardner Minshew: he suffered a broken collarbone against the Broncos and is out for the season.

Fantasy Impact:

We had just posted the quote from head coach Antonio Pierce, saying it didn’t look good. It turned out it wasn’t good. Minshew looked like he was in a lot of pain after taking the his late in the game. Now we have an understanding of that pain. Desmond Ridder came on in relief and the team is expected to activate Aidan O’Connell this week from injured reserve. The Raiders visit Kansas City on Friday.

Antonio Pierce on Gardner Minshew injury: ‘It doesn’t look good.’

Raiders head coach Antonio Pierce said “It doesn’t look good” in regards to the shoulder injury to quarterback Gardner Minshew.

Fantasy Impact:

Minshew went down late in the game against the Broncos after taking a sack and looked to be in quite a bit of pain. He’ll undergo further testing to determine the severity of the injury.

Desmond Ridder came on in replacement. He went 5-of-10 for 64 yards and was sacked twice. If Minshew is to miss time, which looks very likely, the Raiders may look to see what they have in the former Falcons quarterback. Vegas is also expected to have Aidan O’Connell back this week. The Raiders are on a short week as they head to Kansas City on Black Friday.

Romeo Doubs ruled out with concussion

Packers WR Romeo Doubs was ruled out of Sunday’s game against the 49ers with a concussion.

Fantasy Impact:

Doubs suffered the injury while attempting a catch in the end zone and landing hard on the back of his helmet. Doubs will not return tonight and it’s almost certain he’ll be ruled out for Thursday night against the Dolphins. If that’s the case, his next chance to return would be the following Thursday against the Lions.
