DeMarco Murray has foot strain

Oct 15, 2012

One of the most impressive aspects of the Cowboys' offense during their 31-29 loss to the Ravens was the ease with which running backs DeMarco Murray and Felix Jones cut through the Baltimore defense, combining for 185 yards and a touchdown on 32 carries.

But Murray had to leave the game with a foot injury, and now CBS Sports' Jason La Canfora reports that he sustained an apparent foot sprain.

According to La Canfora, the X-rays were negative and an MRI is scheduled for Monday to assess the severity of the injury.

Murray gained 93 yards on 14 carries.

Fantasy Impact:

Jones picked up the slack filling in in his former role of lead back. We'll hopefully know more about Murray's injury later today, but Jones appears to be a good pickup if you're a Murray owner, especially considering the 'Boys are at Carolina next week in what will be a good matchup for whomever gets the start.

Chargers set to open window for RB J.K. Dobbins (knee)

Chargers will be opening J.K. Dobbins' 21-day window today, Jim Harbaugh tells reporters.

Related players: Gus Edwards

Fantasy Impact:

Dobbins has been on IR for the past four games with a knee injury. He's not a lock to play this week and he's not a lock for a safe workload even if he does play. The Chargers travel to New England in Week 17, so the matchup isn't a bad one. It's an early window game on Sunday, so owners should have plenty of notice. We'll also keep an eye on the practice reports this week.

Dolphins unsure of WR Jaylen Waddle's (knee) status for Week 17

McDaniel non-committal on whether Jaylen Waddle (knee) will practice this week: "I'm expecting to get everything from Waddle that he can do... I've [talked to] the trainer to make sure we protect him from himself. We will see how the week progresses. I don't know exactly what it will look like."

Fantasy Impact:

Waddle owners should probably not count on Waddle for Week 17, or at the very least have a backup plan. Waddle and the Dolphins play the Browns in the later window on Sunday so it could further complicate things for owners who were hoping to play him.

DeMeco Ryans says WR Tank Dell tore his ACL along with dislocating his knee.

Fantasy Impact:

No surprises here as it was a terrible injury to watch during the game. While he's obviously out for the season, the bigger question is what will his status be for 2025. It's a huge question mark at this point given the seriousness of the injury. Even if Dell is able to play next season, he may take a while to get back to 100%.
