Steve Smith could miss preseason

Aug 11, 2009

Panthers WR Steve Smith's agent, Derrick Fox, said late Monday night that Smith likely would miss a minimum of two weeks with what appears to be a strained shoulder. If that timetable holds, Smith would miss the team's first two exhibitions, on the road against the New York Giants (Aug. 17) and Miami Dolphins (Aug. 22).

Smith also could be questionable for home exhibitions against Baltimore (Aug. 29) and Pittsburgh (Sept. 3).

Fox said Smith was considering undergoing an MRI to provide more details about the injury and how best it should be treated.

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.
