Quarterback Matthew Stafford always has been somewhat of a gunslinger. Even during his days at Georgia, he would hurl the ball sidearm or underhand at times if that was the best way to get the pass off.

He's done it with greater frequency the last two weeks, which, given he's coming off right shoulder surgery, has raised some concern about the health of his arm.

Coach Jim Schwartz, doing his weekly spot on 97.1 on Tuesday, calmed those concerns.

"He's thrown a couple sidearm, but going back, he's made those throws before, particularly on play-action passes where he's trying to get it underneath," Schwartz said. "He's gotten some balls tipped. I think he had two in a row tipped last game and those were on high passes. A lot of times he drops down on tight end screens or play-action to get rid of the ball quicker and get it underneath the outstretched arms."

Stafford was asked directly about the sidearm throws after the 49ers game, and said he's always done that with certain passes and there were no problems with his arm or shoulder.

Seahawks RB Kenneth Walker listed as DNP; RB Zach Carbonnet full

Adam Schefter on X

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.

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.
