Charlotte Observer: Panthers HC Fox remains steadfast in his
support for rookie RB Jonathan Stewart. Stewart, a 1st-round draft
pick, rushed for 21 yards on seven carries. He has 111 yards and
one TD in the past four games after rushing for 272 yards and four
scores in the first 5 games. Deangelo Williams gained more yards
Sunday (140) than Stewart has in the past month. After a slow
start to the season, Williams has been hot of late, with 464 yards
in the past five games. When asked about whether Stewart's sore
heel was hurting his play, or if he'd hit the wall that slows some
rookies, Fox said: "No, it's none of those things in my opinion.
He did miss 2 days of practice (last) week. That never helps. He
made some hard runs, and part of (the gains on) those runs were
his. "There's no doubt the bulk (of the carries went to) DeAngelo,
and it goes that way (sometimes). Probably about a month ago,
people were wanting (Stewart) to be the starter. It's a long
season and we're going to need him. He knows it and we know it. So
it's nothing he's done wrong." Fox said he's "totally happy" with
Stewart and Williams.

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.
