Oct 01, 2012

Miami RB Reggie Bush not only played with a banged up knee, but did so relatively well. Bush, a question mark all week, got the start and rushed for 67 yards on 17 carries.

Before the game, Bush went through a series of tests, overseen by coach Joe Philbin, offensive coordinator Mike Sherman and general manager Jeff Ireland. While Bush was cleared to play, the Dolphins appeared to have him on a pitch count, spreading out the carries with Daniel Thomas and Lamar Miller.

The Dolphins’ run game struggled overall. Miami gained 86 yards on 29 carries — a 3.0 average.

When the Dolphins needed a tough yard, they went to Jorvorskie Lane — and not Daniel Thomas.

And poor execution by Ryan Tannehill on a pitch play all but wrecked a drive early in the fourth quarter. Tannehill missed Bush on the toss, resulting in a loss of 9 yards.

Fantasy Impact:

The "pitch count" isn't a surprise since he was a game-time call all week. So, he was a risky option for a fantasy lineup, but posted pretty decent numbers all things considered. Next week, Bush and company take on the Jags and one would think Bush gets a bigger workload - as long as he escaped the game is good shape and it appears he has.

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.
