If Shonn Greene's injury lingers or, for any reason, the Jets will turn to LaDainian Tomlinson as its primary back in the regular season, the 11-year veteran would of course be ready.

"I think we just have to wait and see," Tomlinson said. "Obviously, I’ve been in a position where I had to carry however many times I needed to and be the full-time guy. I don’t expect that to be the case; but if it is, that’s what we’re dealt, so you just adjust."

Rex Ryan: "With us, we were going to put him in this other role, not because that it's time in his career to do that. This guy can still be an every-down back, but I just think for our team, it fit us better that he would be in more of a third-down specialist, a reserve back, and let Shonn take the brunt of the snaps. ... But obviously if something were to happen to Shonn on a regular basis, then L.T. would go in there, and we'd feel happy that we had L.T. in there."

Seahawks RB Kenneth Walker listed as DNP; RB Zach Carbonnet full

Adam Schefter on X

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.
