Hakeem Nicks' wrist is fine. His knee, however, has now become a serious source of concern for the injury-riddled Giants.

The wideout spent Monday afternoon being examined by doctors and presumably undergoing an MRI after injuring his knee during Sunday's 28-14 loss to the Redskins. Nicks only mentioned a wrist injury after the game, but he received X-rays on his knee and wrist on Sunday. Both tests came back negative, but Tom Coughlin said Monday that Nicks' knee was swelling.

"We know that he has some type of an injury there," Coughlin said. "We don't know what it is or to what extent."

Coughlin said he was unsure if the injury would keep Nicks out of Monday's home opener against the Rams. A source familiar with the injury said Nicks was "OK" and that the initial tests showed no serious damage. The source added that the Giants are hoping it is nothing more than a bone bruise, but they are proceeding cautiously because of the swelling.

The swelling will likely cause Nicks to miss some practice time, and his status for Monday is, at best, uncertain. The extra day before the game, though, will certainly help.

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

Scott Bair

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.
