Santonio Holmes's rib injury related to 2008 injury

Aug 08, 2012

Don’t count on seeing Jets wide receiver Santonio Holmes on the field anytime soon.

Holmes, who injured his ribs in Saturday’s intrasquad scrimmage, said he will be careful about returning too soon. He has not practiced since the injury.

Holmes said he suffered broken ribs in 2008 with the Steelers and this was related to that injury. He said he had some damage to the cartilage around the ribs and they may have “separated.” Holmes has not been ruled out of Friday’s game with the Bengals, but it seems highly unlikely he will play. He said he can’t move laterally.

Fantasy Impact:

This news will only serve to depress Holmes's ADP even further. It's not often that a WR1 with his talent is available in the 10th or 11th round. Sure, he has some attitude issues, but someone has to catch the ball for the Jets.

“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.

Bears RB D'Andre Swift misses Wednesday practice

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.
