Lions QB Matt Stafford says ankle 'feeling better'

Nov 28, 2017

Detroit Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford said his right ankle is "feeling better" after injuring it during Thursday's loss to Minnesota.

Stafford's comments came during his weekly appearance Monday on WJR Radio, where he has briefly discussed his other injuries throughout the season.

Fantasy Impact:

Stafford injured the ankle in the fourth quarter on a play that resulted in a touchdown pass to Marvin Jones. After completing the pass, Vikings defensive tackle Tom Johnson rolled onto Stafford's ankle. Stafford stayed on the ground for several minutes before hobbling off. He did not miss a play, but limped heavily to his postgame news conference. Stafford said he stayed in Michigan over the weekend to get treatment on the ankle and that "it's getting better." He said he had X-rays done on the ankle, but wouldn't reveal details of what the tests showed, the story went on to say.

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.
