Giants TE Boss unsure of week 2 status

Sep 13, 2010

Football season is under way, but it was more like baseball for Kevin Boss Sunday when he was whacked from behind by Panthers safety Sherrod Martin.

“It felt like somebody hit me in the back of the head with a bat,” the Giants tight end said as he left the stadium after the team’s 31-18 victory over the Panthers.

Boss left the game in the first quarter with neck and head injuries after Martin hit him as he leaped for a pass. It was a tough throw Eli Manning might have made only because a Panthers’ offside penalty gave him a free play.

The Giants said Boss, who caught a pass for 11 yards on the first play from scrimmage, suffered a concussion on the play. Boss said he didn’t lose consciousness but was “woozy for a second.”

Cowboys TE Jake Ferguson officially Out for Week 13

Adam Schefter

yesterday · 7:52 PM EST

Cowboys ruled out Jake Ferguson for the Thanksgiving game vs. the New York Giants due to his concussion. His replacement, once again, will be Luke Schoonmaker.

Fantasy Impact:

This was expected, but it could have been a nice matchup for the No. 2 pass-catcher. Schoonmaker is a little less exciting but is worth a TE stream for desperate managers.

Seahawks WRs DK Metcalf, Tyler Lockett miss Wednesday practice

yesterday · 7:48 PM EST

The Seahawks list DK Metcalf and Tyler Lockett as non-participants in practice today. These appear to be new injuries (though Lockett was also listed with a knee injury in Week 7). Leonard Williams has been playing through his foot injury the past few weeks.

Related Players: Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Jake Bobo

Fantasy Impact:

This is obviously not a great sign for Geno Smith or the general offensive environment for the Seahawks. We would have to imagine that JSN would be seeing his fifth double-digit target game of the season if either of the two were forced to miss Week 13, which catapults him into solid WR2 territory. We'll keep an eye on the reports through the rest of the week.

Giants QB Tommy DeVito officially Questionable for Week 13

Giants QB Tommy DeVito (right forearm) is listed as questionable for tomorrow against the Cowboys. Drew Lock, his backup, took some first-team reps just in case.

Fantasy Impact:

What a treat this game will be. Whether DeVito or Lock is back there on Thanksgiving, they both need to remain firmly on waiver wires.
