Polamalu won't need surgery

Sep 14, 2009

All-Pro safety Troy Polamalu is wearing a brace on his left knee but he said today that he does not need surgery after getting hurt in the Steelers' 13-10 win over the Tennessee Titans last Thursday.

Polamalu sprained the medial collateral ligament in his left knee when Titans tight end Alge Crumpler fell on his leg while the two were going for a loose ball following a blocked field goal.

Polamalu is expected to miss three to six weeks but the injury could have been worse.

Cowboys TE Jake Ferguson officially Out for Week 12

Cowboys list TE Jake Ferguson as out for Sunday’s game vs. Washington due to his concussion.

Related Players: Luke Schoonmaker

Fantasy Impact:

This puts Schoonmaker more or less in TE streaming consideration, but there are far better options this week, which puts him low on the totem pole.

Eagles WR DeVonta Smith officially Out for Week 12

Eagles ruled out WR DeVonta Smith (hamstring) for Sunday against the Rams.

Related Players: A.J. Brown, Jahan Dotson, Johnny Wilson, Dallas Goedert

Fantasy Impact:

It's a bit of a crapshoot as to who the "WR2" on the offense will be, but now that he's ruled out, Brown and Goedert should get a nice boost to their bottom line. That would lock Goedert into a no-doubt TE1 role in Week 12.
