Oct 15, 2011

For almost a month now, Dallas Cowboys running back Felix Jones has played with an injured right shoulder.

Jones has been playing with a harness protecting his shoulder that he dislocated in the first quarter of the second game of the season Sept. 18 at San Francisco. He ranks 25th in the NFL with 241 rushing yards through four games.

Cowboys running backs coach Skip Peete said Jones has "been playing with a lot of pain." Jones said Friday that the injury is still bothering him.

"I can tell you this, it lets me know," Jones said. "It's still not 100 percent. I'm just trying to play through it and contribute and help out with my team."

Fantasy Impact:

Jones may not be 100 percent, but fantasy owners should continue to count on him as long as he retains the lead role in the Dallas backfield.

Kittle returns to a great matchup against a Packers defense that ranks 26th in TE aFPA. He should be fired up as a high-end TE1 once again.

Per Bears head coach Matt Eberflus: Ryan Bates remains in the concussion protocol. Elijah Hicks (ankle) and D'Andre Swift (groin) won't practice.

Teven Jenkins will be limited.

Related Players: Roschon Johnson, Travis Homer

Fantasy Impact:

This is definitely a situation to keep an eye on, as Johnson would have a huge workload if Swift were to miss Week 12. Homer has three rush attempts and zero targets on the year.
