Jaguars RB Maurice Jones-Drew: knee 80-85%

Jul 02, 2011

Jaguars RB Maurice Jones-Drew's rehab from knee surgery is nearly complete, with the Jacksonville Jaguars running back telling SiriusXM NFL Radio on Friday evening that he'll be 100 percent within three to four weeks.

Jones-Drew listed himself at 80-85 percent after January's surgery to repair a torn meniscus in his left knee.

Fantasy Impact:

Still only 26 years old, Jones-Drew's knees were suspect heading into the 2010 season, and grinding bone-on-bone by the end of it. Drew says he will be 100% in time for the season, but we wouldn't be surprised to see the Jaguars work in Rashad Jennings and Deji Karim a bit more this season. If Jones-Drew goes down again, Jennings would be the handcuff to own.

“I will be playing on Sunday. Very excited, can’t pass up playing the Packers. I will be out there for sure.”

George Kittle says he’s good to go for Sunday

Fantasy Impact:

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.
