TSN: Lawrence Tynes has spent most of the season after kicking the
game-winning field goal in the NFC title game as a spectator for
the Super Bowl champion New York Giants. Tynes hurt his knee in
training camp, and lost his job because 44-year-old John Carney
joined the Giants and basically didn't miss. Carney, who was named
a second-team All Pro on Friday, hit 35 of 38 field goals attempts
and all 38 of his extra points in helping the Giants (12-4) win
the NFC East and earn the conference's top seed. It was impossible
for coach Tom Coughlin to give Tynes' his job back, although it
was also impossible for the team to cut the 30-year-old kicker.
With wind gusts expected to be in the 15-to-25 mph range in the
NFC semifinal against the Eagles on Sunday, there is a chance that
Coughlin might dress Tynes to handle the kickoffs. "I won't know
until 10:30 (a.m.) on Sunday," Tynes said Friday after handling
the kickoffs in the early part of practice. Coughlin refused to
indicate what he would do.

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.
