Burgess and Heyward-Bey were no-shows

Jul 29, 2009

Two-time Pro Bowl defensive end Derrick Burgess and first-round pick Darrius Heyward-bey were no-shows as the Raiders opened training camp.

The team held meetings Wednesday, the day before hitting the practice field in Napa under coach Tom Cable. Burgess, who did not take part in any offseason practices, decided to stay away from the start of training camp as he looks to be dealt.

Heyward-Bey, the seventh overall pick in April's draft, has not signed a contract, although Cable expressed optimism that a deal could be done quickly. Heyward-Bey is in the Bay Area and could make it to Napa soon after a deal is signed.

Cowboys TE Jake Ferguson officially Out for Week 12

Cowboys list TE Jake Ferguson as out for Sunday’s game vs. Washington due to his concussion.

Related Players: Luke Schoonmaker

Fantasy Impact:

This puts Schoonmaker more or less in TE streaming consideration, but there are far better options this week, which puts him low on the totem pole.

Eagles WR DeVonta Smith officially Out for Week 12

Eagles ruled out WR DeVonta Smith (hamstring) for Sunday against the Rams.

Related Players: A.J. Brown, Jahan Dotson, Johnny Wilson, Dallas Goedert

Fantasy Impact:

It's a bit of a crapshoot as to who the "WR2" on the offense will be, but now that he's ruled out, Brown and Goedert should get a nice boost to their bottom line. That would lock Goedert into a no-doubt TE1 role in Week 12.
