Dallas Cowboys owner and general manager Jerry Jones ex...

Aug 13, 2011

Dallas Cowboys owner and general manager Jerry Jones expressed hope that cornerback Terence Newman could return for the Sept. 11 season opener against the New York Jets.

Newman tweeted he would be ready to play against the Jets after suffering the injury Aug. 3 and was given an initial 4-6 week recovery period.

"Newman should be on the timetable or better from what we had anticipated," Jones said. "When I said better, the timetable was it would be close to the season opener, but he really is working hard to make progress. I don't know. No one knows, but he's certainly at or above and beyond the level we had hoped he would be."

Newman suffered a groin injury during training camp in 2008 and missed the season opener at Cleveland. He worked his way into the starting lineup before needing surgery in October. With Newman and Jenkins out, Orlando Scandrick and Alan Ball have been the starting corners.

Bears RB D'Andre Swift, WR Keenan Allen both Questionable for Week 12

D'Andre Swift is questionable to play Vikings with a groin injury, though he was limited Thursday and a full participant on Friday.

Keenan Allen is questionable with an ankle injury. He was limited on Friday, his first day on the participation report.

Related Players: Roschon Johnson, Travis Homer, D.J. Moore, Rome Odunze

Fantasy Impact:

Separate reports called Swift "very likely" to play, but this is seemingly a new issue for Allen.

If Keenan were to miss Week 12, it would boost the floor of all pass-catchers, namely Moore, Oduzne, and Cole Kmet. Moore + Odunze would sneak closer to WR2 territory than their low-end WR3 designations they have with a healthy Allen.

Chiefs RB Isiah Pacheco officially Out for Week 12

Charles Omenihu (knee) and Isiah Pacheco (ankle) won’t play on Sunday, per Coach Reid.

“Just taking it day-by-day,” Reid added.

Related Players: Samaje Perine

Fantasy Impact:

It was later reported that Pacheco was "healthy enough" but they're hoping to hold him back one more game with a short week coming up. This makes Hunt a volume-based RB2 in Week 12.

Cowboys WR CeeDee Lamb returns to Friday practice

CeeDee Lamb practiced today, per Cowboys head coach Mike McCarthy. That’s a good sign.

Lamb (back/foot) was limited in a walkthrough on Wednesday and missed practice on Thursday.

Related Players: Jalen Tolbert, KaVontae Turpin, Jalen Brooks, Ryan Flournoy

Fantasy Impact:

Obviously good news for the Cowboys' potential in rolling out an NFL offense in Week 12. The floor is capped for Lamb but we should expect a ton of action funneling his way against the Commanders, which puts him on the WR1/2 fringe.
