Sep 01, 2009

Tight end Joe Klopfenstein was among four St. Louis Rams players released Tuesday, as the team moved toward the mandatory roster limit of 75 players by this afternoon. Klopfenstein, 25, was a second-round draft pick by the team in 2006 - Scott Linehan’s first draft as Rams coach.

Also released by St. Louis on Tuesday were: Jarrett Byers, a wide receiver from Northeastern State; Marcus Brown, a cornerback from McNeese State; and Daniel Sanders, a center from Colorado. Byers and Sanders were undrafted rookies; Brown had the “first-year” player designation, having spent part of last season on Cincinnati’s practice squad.

“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

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.
