ESPN: Steelers fans were concerned when Ben Roethlisberger went
down against the Browns in the final regular season game. Turns
out, they had reason to worry. The team said then that their
franchise QB suffered a concussion, but the Pittsburgh Post-
Gazette reported on Monday that the injury was more serious.
Roethlisberger suffered a spinal cord concussion, and he called it
"scary" when he could not feel team doctors sticking a pin into
his arm on the field. The quarterback was tackled by two Browns
defenders and appeared to hit his head on the turf. His face mask
was removed, he was placed on a spinal board and carted off the
field. At Presbyterian Hospital, he quickly regained feeling in his arms and was
later released. The newpaper reported that he never lost feeling in his legs.
Roethlisberger passed all of his follow-up tests for concussions. He returned to
the field for a playoff game on Sunday and passed for 181 yards and a touchdown,
without an interception, in the Steelers' 35-24 win over the Chargers.

Seahawks RB Kenneth Walker listed as DNP; RB Zach Carbonnet full

Seahawks listed RB Kenneth Walker III as a Did Not Practice today while RB Zach Charbonnet was upgraded to full practice ahead of Thursday night’s game at Chicago.

Fantasy Impact:

Walker is dealing with an ankle injury and as we get closer to Thursday his status really seems to be in doubt. Charbonnet would be the team's lead back and looks to be good to go despite dealing with an elbow injury. He'd once again be a great option if Walker is unable to go.

Charger RBs Gus Edwards, J.K. Dobbins listed as limited

Gus Edwards is listed as a limited participant due to an ankle injury. Edwards ran 14 times for 68 yards and two touchdowns in last Sunday’s win over the Broncos.

J.K. Dobbins (knee) was also limited in his first appearance on the injury report since being designated for return from injured reserve.

Fantasy Impact:

The story said if Dobbins is going to play against the Patriots, the Chargers will have to activate him by Friday. It could be a tricky situation depending on each back's status. Owners will want to pay close attention to this situation leading up to game time.

Bengals QB Joe Burrow, WR Tee Higgins listed as limited

Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow told reporters on Tuesday that he feels like he’s totally past his right wrist injury, but it still landed him on the team’s injury report.

Burrow was listed as limited due to the wrist and his knee

Wide receiver Tee Higgins (ankle, knee) was listed as limited as well,

Fantasy Impact:

The story said Burrow's injury shouldn’t create much cause for concern about his availability against the Broncos on Saturday since he was listed as limited all of last week before playing without issue in the team’s win over the Browns. Burrow added there are still things he does to help with it but he's pretty much past it. The story added Higgins also played without incident last Sunday after being on the report all week.
