Mlive.com: The Lions could be faced with some tough decisions at
QB for the next several weeks. Dan Orlovsky got his first NFL
start in Sunday's 12-10 loss to the Vikings and it appears he
might be starting again next week against the Texans. Lions
management has refused to answer any questions about the long-term
health of QB Jon Kitna, who missed all of last week with back
problems. Kitna had an MRI and also consulted a spine specialist,
but the Lions refuse to discuss details of Kitna's health. Kitna
did not make the trip to Minnesota. Lions coach Rod Marinelli said
the organization would huddle Monday morning and discuss Kitna's
future. While Orlovsky has been the backup all season, he's on a
one-year contract. Drew Stanton, last year's second-round draft
pick, appears to be the future of the team. Stanton finally is
healthy after spraining his right thumb in the preseason and took
half the snaps in practice last week. If Kitna is going to miss an
extended period of time, the Lions will have to make a decision of
when -- or if -- to make the switch from Orlovsky to Stanton.

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.
