Arizona Republic: It's a good thing the Cardinals coaching staff
threw a few bones to Edgerrin James after he was benched in favor
of rookie Tim Hightower, because the veteran RB revealed hat he
would have quit on the team and walked away. It almost got to that
point, too, as James didn't play in 3 games and in 4 others, had
only 7 total carries. Until responding with 173 yards his past 2
games, including a 73-yard effort to beat the Falcons in last
Saturday's playoff game, James has spent much of the season on the
sideline. James' return to the Cardinals' offense has given the
team new hope, especially this week heading into their NFC
divisional playoff game against the Panthers. "We all feel great
for Edge," QB Kurt Warner said. "He's been a great teammate and a
great leader on this team. I know he went through some frustration
and disappointment earlier in the year, but couldn't be more
excited, not only for what he's doing for us, but for him to get
back out there and have some success himself." Asked whether being
more of a contributor down the stretch could make him think twice
about his future with the Cardinals, James paused to reflect, but
wouldn't bite.

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.
