Everybody, it seems, from Denver Broncos head coach John Fox to defensive coordinator Dennis Allen to one Aaron Rodgers wants to see Elvis Dumervil back in Denver's lineup Sunday.

Aaron Rodgers? Yes, the Green Bay Packers' alpha quarterback almost seemed happy this week at the prospect of the Broncos getting their injured Pro Bowl pass rusher back on defense in Lambeau Field.

"Elvis is a difference-maker," Rodgers said. "And he's fun to watch. As a fan, it's exciting to watch him coming off the edge and wreaking havoc."

Dumervil, who played only in spot duty in the season opener and missed the last two games because of a left shoulder injury, will give the Broncos some much-needed defensive flexibility against a high-powered Packers offense.

The Broncos also are expected to have linebacker D.J. Williams, who missed the first three games of the season with a dislocated elbow he suffered in the preseason.

Cornerback Champ Bailey, who has missed the last two games with a hamstring injury, was still a question mark after Friday's practice, but the Broncos hope he will be available for at least some situational work.

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.
