Denver Post: After weeks of contention, McJaygate ended happily,
at least for Broncos officials on the top floor of Dove Valley.
Denver shipped disgruntled QB Jay Cutler to the Bears on Thursday
in a blockbuster trade, putting an end to the acrimonious saga
between new coach Josh McDaniels and his unhappy QB. The Broncos
received QB Kyle Orton, two 1st-round picks and a 3rd-round pick
in exchange for Cutler and a 5th-round pick. "I'm sure he's
excited to move on and play in Chicago, and we're excited about
the opportunity we have," McDaniels said. And no, McDaniels did
not try to call Cutler to inform him of the trade, not after the
team's difficulty getting hold of Cutler the past 10 days.
Instead, Broncos GM Brian Xanders notified Cutler's agent, Bus
Cook, that the deal had been consummated. "I don't feel like Jay
would have had any more desire to speak to me now than he's had in
the past," McDaniels said. Cutler declined to comment upon hearing
of the trade.

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.
