Michigan Live: Lions QB Daunte Culpepper is 2 TDs and 2 games away
from earning an additional $1 million in bonuses, but Kowalski
told WDFN-AM Detroit, his chances of cashing the 7-figure check
are about as likely as the winless Lions winning a game this
season. Detroit signed Culpepper to the veteran's minimum
($730,000) without a roster guarantee late this season, but
offered the 3-time Pro Bowler $1 million in incentive bonuses.
According to Kowalski, Culpepper, who has served as his own agent
since leaving Minnesota, only needs to meet one of five goals in
order to claim his cash prize. Three of Culpepper's incentives
are far from being met, however, the veteran QB is close to
meeting two goals, which include throwing at least 6 TD passes or
playing at least 40% of Detroit's offensive plays. Culpepper, 31,
has thrown for 4 TD passes and has started 5 games for the Lions
this season. "If he plays the final 2 games, that's seven starts
and guess what? That gets him over 40%," Kowalski said during his
weekly hour-long show, The Point After. "If he does play again, it
looks like he'll have a shot to make those incentives."

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.
