Dec 27, 2010

Bucs rookie WR Arrelious Benn injured a knee in the second quarter, the severity of which wasn't clear. Benn, after catching his only pass, turned up the field for a 16-yard gain but was upended by two defenders, one of which appeared to hit the side of Benn's knee with a helmet.

"Right now I have to figure out what's wrong and then go to the next thing," Benn said.

Asked what happened on the play, he said, "I have no idea. I don't even want to know."

Benn will be evaluated further today. On a day the Bucs were already shorthanded at receiver with Sammie Stroughter out with a hamstring injury, Benn was replaced by Maurice Stovall. Preston Parker and Dezmon Briscoe appeared, each catching at least one pass.

Kittle returns to a great matchup against a Packers defense that ranks 26th in TE aFPA. He should be fired up as a high-end TE1 once again.

Per Bears head coach Matt Eberflus: Ryan Bates remains in the concussion protocol. Elijah Hicks (ankle) and D'Andre Swift (groin) won't practice.

Teven Jenkins will be limited.

Related Players: Roschon Johnson, Travis Homer

Fantasy Impact:

This is definitely a situation to keep an eye on, as Johnson would have a huge workload if Swift were to miss Week 12. Homer has three rush attempts and zero targets on the year.
