Florida Times Union: Despite the solid performance, RB
Maurice Jones-Drew 's night ended on a sour note after he
went down with a sprained knee in the final minute after
catching two passes for 27 yards during the Jaguars' last
drive of the game. Team officials didn't immediately have
an update on Drew's condition, but he didn't return after
the injury. However, Drew said he's fine. "I'm all right.
I'll definitely play next week," he said. "It's not a big
deal, just a bruise. It's football. You get tackled and you
get back up." Of the six running backs taken in the first
two rounds of the 2006 draft (a class that includes Reggie Bush, Laurence Maroney, Deangelo Williams, Joseph Addai and
Lendale White), Drew entered Thursday's game leading the
class in touchdowns (40), yards from scrimmage (3,691) and
all-purpose yards (5,653). A good portion of those
statistics came in games against the Colts.

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.
