ESPN: In a perfect world, playoff-bound Arizona would rest its
starters in the meaningless regular-season finale against Seattle
on Sunday. Cardinals starters like Kurt Warner, seen here in
November, won't be getting Sunday off as the team tries to reclaim
momentum for the playoffs. In the Cardinals' world, the starters
will play as the NFC West champions try to pull out of a late-
season tailspin. Arizona is groping for answers after dropping
four of its last 5 games, including blowouts against Minnesota and
New England in the two weeks after it clinched its first division
title in 33 seasons. The lowly Seahawks (4-11) may be just what
the Cardinals need to find themselves. "I think the most important
thing that we have to do is play well," HC Whisenhunt said after a
chilly morning practice on Friday. "So that's what we're looking
to do." Whisenhunt is the first Arizona coach to ponder a choice
between resting his players for the playoffs or trying to keep
them sharp and risk injury. The only other time Cardinals made the
playoffs, in 1998, they slipped in as a wild-card entry on the
season's final Sunday.

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

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.
