Aug 24, 2009

Having concluded two-a-day practices, the Broncos could get by with two quarterbacks throwing in drills this week. So rookie Tom Brandstater could be busier over the next few days if Chris Simms' ankle injury keeps him off the field.

Simms, who is Kyle Orton's backup, was hit low by Seahawks defensive end Nick Reed early in the fourth quarter — Reed was penalized for roughing the passer on the play — and suffered a sprained left ankle.

Simms left the stadium after the game on crutches and was to be evaluated again Sunday.

Brandstater, from Fresno State, replaced Simms and was 2-for-4 passing for 1 yard. He was sacked four times.

“I will be playing on Sunday. Very excited, can’t pass up playing the Packers. I will be out there for sure.”

George Kittle says he’s good to go for Sunday

Related Players: Eric Saubert

Fantasy Impact:

Kittle returns to a great matchup against a Packers defense that ranks 26th in TE aFPA. He should be fired up as a high-end TE1 once again.

Per Bears head coach Matt Eberflus: Ryan Bates remains in the concussion protocol. Elijah Hicks (ankle) and D'Andre Swift (groin) won't practice.

Teven Jenkins will be limited.

Related Players: Roschon Johnson, Travis Homer

Fantasy Impact:

This is definitely a situation to keep an eye on, as Johnson would have a huge workload if Swift were to miss Week 12. Homer has three rush attempts and zero targets on the year.
