Bears RB Jordan Howard dealing with shoulder injury

Sep 25, 2017

Bears RB Jordan Howard, who left the field on two separate occasions because of a shoulder injury, gashed the Steelers for 138 yards and two touchdowns, including the game winner in OT.

“Sometimes I was hurt pretty bad,” Howard said. “I didn’t feel like I could finish. But my teammates kept pushing me through, and my coach, and I just saw my team -- they kept fighting, so I had to keep playing."

Fantasy Impact:

Howard's injury was kind of buried in the story, which was mainly about how Howard and Cohen are forming a "thunder and lightning" duo so far this season. Howard certainly bounced back after a miserable Week 2 game. Cohen continues to play a role, too, collecting 15 touches in Week 3.

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.
