News Democrat: Rams WR/KR Derek Stanley has a torn ACL and torn
cartilage in his knee. Rams coach Jim Haslett said Stanley will
have surgery in the next 2-3 weeks, and it'll take 6-8 months for
him to recover from the injury. "That's a shame because I thought
the kid was coming on,'' Haslett said. "Lee Evans, another
receiver and friend of his had it, so he kind of knows what
(Evans) went through. He'll have to fight his way back. That's a
tough injury for him.'' Stanley will become the 11th player
placed on injured reserve by the Rams this season. Stanley
suffered the injury on an end around in the first quarter of the
Rams' 23-20 loss to the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday. Seattle's
Jordan Babineaux picked up the loose ball and ran 24 yards for a
touchdown. Haslett said that Dane Looker will return punts and
Kenneth Darby will return kickoffs in Stanley's absence.

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.
