Vick feeling 'fine' but still in question for week 3

Sep 19, 2011

At the Andy Reid press conference Monday, Eagles trainer Rick Burkholder said QB Mike Vick "was a little bit off" after getting a concussion but Vick said he "was fine" on the plane home.

Vick told Reid and his teammates he was "fine" as well. The team was going to meet with Vick later today for more tests.

A lot needs to go on over the next week, Burkholder added. He also said he can give no time frame on when Vick will return.

Fantasy Impact:

Burkholder said Vick wasn't far off as far as being able to pass the tests he needs to to get back on the field, but didn't give any specific numbers. Consider Vick iffy at best for this week based on the NFL's rules for player safety. Unless Vince Young is cleared to play, Mike Kafka would be the starter against the Giants. Reid said Young is "getting close" to 100%.

The Eagles kept the playcalling simple for Kafka, but that's something Reid admitted he regretted at his press conference. Still, Kafka is a significant dowgrade to Vick, and even Young.

Reid said more updates would come later this week.

Chargers set to open window for RB J.K. Dobbins (knee)

Chargers will be opening J.K. Dobbins' 21-day window today, Jim Harbaugh tells reporters.

Related players: Gus Edwards

Fantasy Impact:

Dobbins has been on IR for the past four games with a knee injury. He's not a lock to play this week and he's not a lock for a safe workload even if he does play. The Chargers travel to New England in Week 17, so the matchup isn't a bad one. It's an early window game on Sunday, so owners should have plenty of notice. We'll also keep an eye on the practice reports this week.

Dolphins unsure of WR Jaylen Waddle's (knee) status for Week 17

McDaniel non-committal on whether Jaylen Waddle (knee) will practice this week: "I'm expecting to get everything from Waddle that he can do... I've [talked to] the trainer to make sure we protect him from himself. We will see how the week progresses. I don't know exactly what it will look like."

Fantasy Impact:

Waddle owners should probably not count on Waddle for Week 17, or at the very least have a backup plan. Waddle and the Dolphins play the Browns in the later window on Sunday so it could further complicate things for owners who were hoping to play him.

Texans WR Tank Dell tore ACL, dislocated knee

DeMeco Ryans says WR Tank Dell tore his ACL along with dislocating his knee.

Fantasy Impact:

No surprises here as it was a terrible injury to watch during the game. While he's obviously out for the season, the bigger question is what will his status be for 2025. It's a huge question mark at this point given the seriousness of the injury. Even if Dell is able to play next season, he may take a while to get back to 100%.
