Sep 28, 2009

Two key Titans members of the defensive backfield — Pro Bowl cornerback Cortland Finneganand nickel back Vincent Fuller — suffered injuries during the loss to the Jets on Sunday and their status for the Jacksonville game is uncertain.

Finnegan injured a hamstring in the second half and Fuller suffered a broken right arm in the first quarter. Neither returned to action, leaving the Titans with a patchwork secondary.

After Fuller's injury, rookie Ryan Mouton stepped in at nickel back. Another rookie, Jason McCourty, replaced Finnegan at corner.

When McCourty cramped up in the fourth quarter, Mouton switched over to the cornerback spot opposite Nick Harper.

Kittle returns to a great matchup against a Packers defense that ranks 26th in TE aFPA. He should be fired up as a high-end TE1 once again.

Per Bears head coach Matt Eberflus: Ryan Bates remains in the concussion protocol. Elijah Hicks (ankle) and D'Andre Swift (groin) won't practice.

Teven Jenkins will be limited.

Related Players: Roschon Johnson, Travis Homer

Fantasy Impact:

This is definitely a situation to keep an eye on, as Johnson would have a huge workload if Swift were to miss Week 12. Homer has three rush attempts and zero targets on the year.
