Broncos WR Jabar Gaffney's injury, which could keep him...

Aug 31, 2009

Broncos WR Jabar Gaffney's injury, which could keep him out a couple of weeks, kicked off a rash of injuries.

Right guard Chris Kuper left the game in the first quarter with a right ankle injury. He was followed to the training room by quarterback Kyle Orton with his bloody index finger. Royal briefly left the game to have his hand examined, but he was able to return. In the locker room after the game, safety Josh Barrett had his right shoulder heavily wrapped.

"That's the way it is in the NFL with injuries, " said Stokley, who had only one catch for 8 yards. "Guys stepped up, but as a whole, we've got a lot of work to do. We'll be fine. We'll have enough out there."

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.
