Lions Best probably won't be 100%

Oct 28, 2010

Running back Jahvid Best , who has played with a sprained toe on each foot through the first six weeks of the season, was back practicing with the team. He had spent the last four practices working mostly on the side with a conditioning coach.

"He's probably not going to be 100 percent healthy until the season is over," Schwartz said. "We kind of said the same thing about Kyle Vanden Bosch . Nobody is going to be 100 percent healthy. But we feel like (Best) is on the right track and he is close to putting it behind him."

The toe injuries have robbed him of his explosiveness, which is at least partly to blame for his 3.2 yards-per-carry average.

"We hope (the explosiveness) is back, but we kind of have to wait and see," offensive coordinator Scott Linehan said. "I've had guys who've dealt with turf toes and a lot of times they linger. I am sure it will improve over time. His one toe has healed to the point where it doesn't bother him, so hopefully by Sunday the other one is closer, too."

A quick update on Raiders quarterback Gardner Minshew: he suffered a broken collarbone against the Broncos and is out for the season.

Fantasy Impact:

We had just posted the quote from head coach Antonio Pierce, saying it didn’t look good. It turned out it wasn’t good. Minshew looked like he was in a lot of pain after taking the his late in the game. Now we have an understanding of that pain. Desmond Ridder came on in relief and the team is expected to activate Aidan O’Connell this week from injured reserve. The Raiders visit Kansas City on Friday.

Antonio Pierce on Gardner Minshew injury: ‘It doesn’t look good.’

Raiders head coach Antonio Pierce said “It doesn’t look good” in regards to the shoulder injury to quarterback Gardner Minshew.

Fantasy Impact:

Minshew went down late in the game against the Broncos after taking a sack and looked to be in quite a bit of pain. He’ll undergo further testing to determine the severity of the injury.

Desmond Ridder came on in replacement. He went 5-of-10 for 64 yards and was sacked twice. If Minshew is to miss time, which looks very likely, the Raiders may look to see what they have in the former Falcons quarterback. Vegas is also expected to have Aidan O’Connell back this week. The Raiders are on a short week as they head to Kansas City on Black Friday.

Romeo Doubs ruled out with concussion

Packers WR Romeo Doubs was ruled out of Sunday’s game against the 49ers with a concussion.

Fantasy Impact:

Doubs suffered the injury while attempting a catch in the end zone and landing hard on the back of his helmet. Doubs will not return tonight and it’s almost certain he’ll be ruled out for Thursday night against the Dolphins. If that’s the case, his next chance to return would be the following Thursday against the Lions.
