New England Patriots wide receiver Wes Welker said Tuesday he feels "OK" after suffering a neck injury while making a tackle in Saturday's preseason loss to the Detroit Lions.

Pressed on whether he'd be able to play in Thursday's preseason finale against the New York Giants, Welker was guarded and suggested he'd leave that decision to New England's medical staff.

"We'll see what doctors and trainers and everybody else says. Whatever they say is what's going to happen," Welker said. "I'm just working hard and trying to get back out there."

"I think anything that has to do with that part of your body, it's always scary," said Welker, able to move his head while addressing reporters. "But we have good doctors, good trainers, so I wasn't too worried about it.

"I don't really recall [if he lost feeling], I just remember making sure everything was all right, and the doctors checking me out. Now I'm just trying to get ready for the next game."

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.
