Jan 24, 2009

Pittsburgh Gazette on Hines Ward: " His knee feels better, Hines Ward said,
but then he has not tested it either. That will come tomorrow, he hopes, when
the Steelers begin their practices at the University of South Florida. "It feels
better," Ward said several hours after the Steelers' charter landed around noon
yesterday. "I don't have a brace on, I walk around fine. It's not going to be 10
percent, I'm not going to trick anybody, but I think I'm going to be good, to be
able to go out and perform like I want to." The Steelers receiver took a break
yesterday from a stepped-up pace of rehabilitation on his injured knee. "I've
been rehabbing all weekend long. Off today -- I did a little rehab this morning
before we came down here." He will resume this morning, then attend the
Steelers media interviews at Raymond James Stadium and "see where we're at."
"I really can't say because I haven't run or cut or done anything," said Ward,
who did not practice last week after the right MCL was sprained in the first
quarter of the Jan. 18 AFC championship game. "I was just constantly getting
treatment, 24 hours around the clock."

Seahawks RB Kenneth Walker listed as DNP; RB Zach Carbonnet full

Adam Schefter on X

Seahawks listed RB Kenneth Walker III as a Did Not Practice today while RB Zach Charbonnet was upgraded to full practice ahead of Thursday night’s game at Chicago.

Fantasy Impact:

Walker is dealing with an ankle injury and as we get closer to Thursday his status really seems to be in doubt. Charbonnet would be the team's lead back and looks to be good to go despite dealing with an elbow injury. He'd once again be a great option if Walker is unable to go.

Charger RBs Gus Edwards, J.K. Dobbins listed as limited

Gus Edwards is listed as a limited participant due to an ankle injury. Edwards ran 14 times for 68 yards and two touchdowns in last Sunday’s win over the Broncos.

J.K. Dobbins (knee) was also limited in his first appearance on the injury report since being designated for return from injured reserve.

Fantasy Impact:

The story said if Dobbins is going to play against the Patriots, the Chargers will have to activate him by Friday. It could be a tricky situation depending on each back's status. Owners will want to pay close attention to this situation leading up to game time.

Bengals QB Joe Burrow, WR Tee Higgins listed as limited

Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow told reporters on Tuesday that he feels like he’s totally past his right wrist injury, but it still landed him on the team’s injury report.

Burrow was listed as limited due to the wrist and his knee

Wide receiver Tee Higgins (ankle, knee) was listed as limited as well,

Fantasy Impact:

The story said Burrow's injury shouldn’t create much cause for concern about his availability against the Broncos on Saturday since he was listed as limited all of last week before playing without issue in the team’s win over the Browns. Burrow added there are still things he does to help with it but he's pretty much past it. The story added Higgins also played without incident last Sunday after being on the report all week.
