MIN: QB Rosenfels says ankle tweak no big deal

Aug 16, 2009

hat was even more impressive about Sage Rosenfels' play Friday night is that he did most of it after tweaking his right ankle early in the first drive.

On the fourth play of the exhibition game at Indianapolis, the Vikings quarterback was under pressure from Colts defensive tackle Eric Foster. He got the ball off, completing a pass to Bobby Wade, but immediately after the ball left Rosenfels' hand, Foster inadvertently stepped on his foot.

Rosenfels continued to play, and after Chester Taylor finished the drive with a touchdown run, Rosenfels had his ankle taped and returned for another series.

Rosenfels said after the game that he was fine and that the tweak wasn't a big deal.

"I'll be all right and be ready for next week," he said.

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.
