Saints Sean Peyton on TE Jimmy Graham:“There was no...

Saints Sean Peyton on TE Jimmy Graham:

“There was no decision to keep him playing. Basically, an hour before the game we turn in our inactives. We had an additional spot with Sedrick (Ellis’) hamstring. We thought Sedrick was going to be able to play, and then during pregame it was aggravated and it didn’t feel strong enough where he or the doctors or ourselves felt like he was going to play and play well on it. With that additional spot, we just discussed a few different options and ended up going the tight end route with (Michael) Higgins. That was just coincidence. Ten minutes later, Jimmy irritated his back during warm-ups and came in and got treatment. It was really just a rush to get him to where it was calmed down enough to where he could function. Fortunately, the doctors and trainers were able to do that. I think early on in that first quarter, you could see it wasn’t one hundred percent and then gradually as the game went on he felt more and more comfortable. Today he’s getting treatment and really that’s it. But it was one of those and anybody that’s had back pains or occasionally stepped the wrong way, I would equate it to that. We were lucky that he was able to bounce back.”

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.
