Houston Chronicle : When it came to his #2 RB, Gary Kubiak didn't
sound very optimistic after the Texans' 16-6 victory against the
Browns. Kubiak said from what he understands, the Texans may have
to go at least the next 2 weeks without Ahman Green backing up
Steve Slaton. "Unfortunately, Ahman is down," Kubiak said. "It
looks like it could be a few weeks, just talking to (head team
trainer) Kevin (Bastin)." Green frowned when asked about such a
timetable, and said that he is a "fast healer." He will have an
MRI done Monday on his left knee. Last year, he injured the same
knee in the first game. He didn't heal very fast. He played
sparingly in 6 more games before landing on the IR. He said this
injury is different, but he didn't explain exactly how. It wasn't
a topic he was jumping to discuss. The injury itself isn't much of
a surprise, but it is a blow to a team that really does need Green
on the field for the offense to be at its strongest. Green has
been on the field sharing carries with Slaton in all four of the
team's victories. He has been healthy for just four of the 7
defeats. Green said he will do all he can get back on the field
for the MNF game against Jacksonville.

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.
