Ochocinco to have MRI Monday

Jan 04, 2010

Chad Ochocinco suffered a bruised left knee injury during a pregame warmups spill, suggesting uncertainty about his status for Saturday pending an MRI scheduled for Monday.

He said he expects to play Saturday but didn’t know the extent to which he will be practicing this week.

“I didn’t know about the frozen spots on the field, and coming out and running my routes, I banged my knee really hard,” Ochocinco said. “The field was frozen, and I just slipped.”

Ochocinco was healthy enough to play the first half Sunday. He did not return in the second half and spent it in the locker room icing his knee. There was no apparent structural damage to his knee.

Fantasy Impact:

No mention of Charbonnet here, so we can assume he's in a good place to take a massive workload against a Bears defense that ranks 27th in RB aFPA. Fire up Charbs as an RB2.

Chiefs Pro-Bowl DT Chris Jones officially is inactive today vs. the Steelers.

Steelers CB Joey Porter Jr. officially is inactive, WR George Pickens officially active.

Related Players: Calvin Austin III, Van Jefferson, Mike Williams

Fantasy Impact:

The Steelers WR room looks a little more palatable with Pickens in the lineup, but it's still not enough to push Russell Wilson above deep-league SuperFlex territory. Consider Pickens a WR3 for Week 17.
