Dan Campbell says Sam LaPorta suffered sprained ankle

Sep 22, 2024

Lions head coach Dan Campbell says tight end Sam LaPorta suffered a sprained ankle during Sunday’s win over the Cardinals.

Fantasy Impact:

The injury happened during Jahmyr Gibb’s touchdown in the second quarter. LaPorta got rolled up on in the end zone. He was later carted off the field. He tried to return to the game in the third quarter only to leave shortly thereafter. We’ll likely know more Monday but it’s fair to think LaPorta may miss a little bit of time. The Lions host the Seahawks next Monday night then go into their bye week in Week 6.

Tee Higgins officially off injury report, will play Monday

Bengals WR Tee Higgins (hamstring) is officially off the injury report and will make his season debut Monday against the Commanders.

Fantasy Impact:

Higgins missed the first two games but is now a go for Week 3, giving QB Joe Burrow one of his top weapons back. Higgins gets a favorable matchup Sunday as Washington has struggled to stop the pass. There's WR2 upside here with Higgins. He's certainly worth a spot in your starting lineup this week in what should be a good day for the Bengals' passing offense.

Justin Herbert will test ankle before game Sunday, optimism he will play vs. Steelers

Chargers QB Justin Herbert will test his ankle before Sunday's game against the Steelers and there is optimism he will be able to go.

Fantasy Impact:

Herbert is listed as questionable after suffering a high-ankle sprain in Week 2 against the Panthers. He did practice Friday but his ankle was heavily taped. This would be quite a quick recovery for Herbert. It's probably best to err on the side of caution with Herbert and lean towards him not playing. He's currently our QB28 because of the strong question mark on his playing status. Easton Stick would be in line to start if Herbert is out.

49ers TE George Kittle Doubtful for Week 3

Tom Pelissero

yesterday · 5:20 PM EDT

49ers TE George Kittle (hamstring) is doubtful for Sunday vs. the Rams. WR Deebo Samuel (calf) is out as expected. DE Nick Bosa (rib) is questionable.

Related Players: Eric Saubert, Jake Tonges

Fantasy Impact:

This would be yet another blow to a 49ers offense that is reeling. Saubert doesn't need to be started in typical fantasy leagues, and Brock Purdy's fantasy outlook would also take another huge hit.
