“I dropped it,” Packers WR James Jones said. “I care about it. It’s over, we won, I dropped it.”

Luckily for Jones, the Packers were able to score a touchdown in the third quarter to reach 21 points and then get a game-saving interception from cornerback Tramon Williams with 33 seconds left. Had the Eagles scored on their final possession, Jones’ drop would have been the difference in the game.

“In fairness to James, he clearly had the obvious opportunity right there before the half to put it to 21,” coach Mike McCarthy said. “But he has a thumb he’s dealing with. So he’ll fight through it. He’s a warrior. He takes great care of his body, but he’ll be the first one to tell you he needs to make that catch.”

Drops have become more than a rare occurrence for Jones, whose play recently was summed up with a beautiful scoop of a Rodgers low pass for a 9-yard touchdown on one play and the dropped bomb on another. Jones dropped a sure long gain against the New York Giants two weeks ago and sure touchdowns against the New York Jets and Dallas Cowboys before that.

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.

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.
