Mar 18, 2009

Arizona Republic: Arizona QB Kurt Warner got a new 2- year deal
with the Cardinals this offseason. Now he has a seemingly healthy
left hip as well. Warner underwent surgery on Tuesday to repair a
labrum tear in his hip and clean out loose fragments in the area,
an injury he played through most of 2008 with. That didn't stop
him from completing 67.1 percent of his passes for 4,583 yards
with 30 touchdowns and just 14 interceptions for a passer rating
of 96.9, earning a Pro Bowl nod for the 4th time. The 37-year-old
2-time MVP will likely miss Arizona's early May mandatory
minicamp, but should return for the rest of offseason workouts and
his status for the 2009 season is not in danger. Warner has
already begun rehabilitation in Colorado, where the arthroscopic
surgery took place. Warner is coming off a banner 2008 season,
helping the Cardinals to their first-ever Super Bowl appearance.
At one point, his return to Arizona seemed to be in question
before the two sides eventually agreed upon a 2-year contract
worth a reported $23 million.

Cowboys hope to get WR Brandin Cooks (knee) back for Week 12

Mike McCarthy said he's hoping Cowboys will get WR Brandin Cooks (knee) back this week.

Fantasy Impact:

Cooper Rush will get the start at QB again against the Commanders in Week 12. CeeDee Lamb led the way with 12 targets vs. the Texans, but it was Luke Schoonmaker, who took over after Jake Ferguson left with a concussion, who had 10 targets which was most behind Lamb. The addition of Cooks should help the Cowboys offense in what is a good matchup against the Commanders defense. For the fantasy world, Rush did end up throwing for 354 yards.

Cowboys will start Cooper Rush at QB in Week 12

Mike McCarthy said Cooper Rush "will be the starter" this week against Washington and a package of plays will be formed for Trey Lance.

Fantasy Impact:

McCarthy came out and said he regrets not giving Lance a chance to run the offense in the loss to the Texans on Monday Night, but even after that the team is going forward with Rush in Week 12 against the Commanders. One would have to assume Rush gets the start the following week as well, which is a short week and a game on Thanksgiving Day game against the Giants.

49ers TE George Kittle (hamstring) 'close' to playing in Week 11

Shanahan said George Kittle was “close” to playing against Seattle and should be able to practice Wednesday.

Fantasy Impact:

It's at least a good sign Kittle is expected to practice Wednesday. The hope is he will be ready to go in Week 12. The 49ers play at the Packers, and it's in the later Sunday window so owners will certainly want to pay attention to what kind of work Kittle can get in this week at practice.
