New York Daily News: Giants HC Coughlin sounded very optimistic
that RB Brandon Jacobs, TE Kevin Boss, DT Barry Cofield and CB
Aaron Ross will all be back on the field in time for the Giants'
playoff opener in 2 weeks. All 4 of those starters were forced to
sit out the Giants' regular-season finale in Minnesota yesterday.
Jacobs and Cofield are battling knee injuries and Boss and Ross
are battling concussions. Ross, who had a severe concussion and
didn't even make the trip to Minnesota, seemed "very good" today,
Coughlin said, and he would've been able to practice if the Giants
didn't have the day off. Boss was doing "better" too, Coughlin
said. And Cofield said after yesterday's game that he was healthy
enough to play. Jacobs is the biggest wild-card, though. Asked if
he'll be ready, Coughlin said "I hope so. That's what we're
leaning towards. We're counting on that taking place, certainly."
That was a very optimistic answer, but it was something less than
an enthusiastic "Yes!" "He's making progress and this rest will do
him good," Coughlin said. "I'd like to see him with solid practice
time as well. I'm not sure if we're going to be able to do that.
That would be the goal."

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.
