New York Post: Talks between the Jets and Cowher never ...

Dec 30, 2008

New York Post: Talks between the Jets and Cowher never advanced
past the preliminary stage. The Jets hoped to interview him for
the job sometime later this week, but late last night the team
released a statement that Cowher had rebuffed their overtures.
"After reaching out to Coach Cowher's representatives, we were
informed tonight that he is not a candidate for the position," Jet
spokesman Bruce Speight said in an e-mail. While the Jets hoped
to woo Cowher with a boatload of money, the marriage appeared to
be unlikely from the outset. Sources close to Cowher said he did
not want to have Favre as his quarterback, and that he also wanted
to bring in people he was familiar with to handle personnel. A
source familiar with Cowher's thinking said before last night's
decision came down that the former Steeler boss would have to
receive assurances from the Jets that the 39-year-old Favre no
longer was in the picture before agreeing to take control.
"There's no way he's taking Brett Favre as his quarterback," said
one person close to Cowher.

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.
