Matthew Stafford takes some snaps at practice

Oct 26, 2011

Matthew Stafford is back in practice for the Detroit Lions on Wednesday after injuring his ankle in Sunday's game against the Atlanta Falcons.

Stafford warmed up, threw the ball a few times and took a couple snaps in individual drills, but backup Shaun Hill was the featured quarterback. In all likelihood, the Lions will want to see how Stafford's ankle responds to physical activity before providing his status on the injury report around 4 p.m.

Fantasy Impact:

This is a great sign for Stafford owners. He still has a ways to go before we can pencil him into the starting lineup in Week 8, but the fact that he was doing anything at all at practice is good news.

Cooler weather for Bucs practice today -- Wirfs and Evans practicing again. Still no Zyon McCollum, but Troy Hill and Greg Gaines were practicing today.

Fantastic news for fantasy managers hanging on to Mike Evans: he should be considered a WR1 option immediately.

“I will be playing on Sunday. Very excited, can’t pass up playing the Packers. I will be out there for sure.”

George Kittle says he’s good to go for Sunday

Related Players: Eric Saubert

Fantasy Impact:

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.

Bears RB D'Andre Swift misses Wednesday practice

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.
