Minneapolis Star Tribune: QB Gus Frerotte suffered a low back
bruise in the Vikings' 20-16 victory over the Lions today at Ford
Field, according to Vikings coach Brad Childress. Childress
refused to speculate if Frerotte might miss additional time and
Frerotte declined to speak to reporters. Frerotte was hurt making
a tackle late in the first half after throwing an interception and
was taken from the sideline to the locker room on a cart. Tarvaris Jackson entered the game in the 2nd half as the Vikings rallied
from a 6-3 halftime deficit. Jackson, who was benched as the
Vikings starter after the team's 0-2 start, completed eight of 10
passes for 105 yards with a touchdown, no interceptions and an
impressive passer rating of 143.8. Childress said Frerotte is
"very sore right now so we're trying to settle him down and make
him comfortable." Childress also praised Jackson for his
performance. "I can't say enough about Tarvaris coming into the
game and how he played," Childress said.

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.
