Eagles QB McNabb has broken rib

Sep 13, 2009

Eagles QB Donovan Mcnabb left Sunday’s 38-10 season-opening victory over the Panthers midway through the third quarter with a broken rib and didn’t return.

The Eagles announced that McNabb suffered a rib injury soon after he left the game, and coach Andy Reid confirmed the severity of the injury during his postgame press conference.

McNabb was injured with 7:07 remaining in the quarter when a player landed on his back after he crossed the goal line on a 3-yard touchdown run. McNabb was in obvious pain as he stayed down on the field, but he later walked off under his own power. Trainers checked his lower back and ribs on the Eagles’ sideline before McNabb eventually walked off the field under his power to the locker room. He later returned to finish the game on the sideline with his teammates.

McNabb was replaced by backup QB Kevin Kolb. With Michael Vick suspended for the first two games of the season, the Eagles are carrying only two quarterbacks on their active roster.

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.

Texans WR Tank Dell tore ACL, dislocated knee

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%.
