Sep 28, 2009

A week after San Francisco's Frank Gore rambled for 207 yards against Seattle, the Bears hoped to get their own ground game sorted out against the Seahawks.

That didn't happen, but they still managed to get just enough out of Matt Forte and the running game to keep the offense balanced.

Forte, who left Qwest Field with a wrap on his right knee, was examined in the first quarter after taking a hit and came back to finish with 66 yards on 21 attempts (3.1 per carry). The Bears didn't get a first down rushing until 10 minutes left in the game.

Still, the Seahawks frequently had eight men in the box, and that created one-on-one matchups on the outside that quarterback Jay Cutler used to his advantage.

''I think the running game was effective to where we had to have it,'' said Forte, who now has 150 yards on 59 carries this season with no touchdowns. ''Sometimes they brought the safety down, and that made it a little tough. We were this close to breaking some long runs. Some of them I've got to pick my feet up, and I tripped. Things like that happened.''

Forte said his knee was ''dinged up'' and he just had it taped to return.

Seahawks RB Kenneth Walker listed as DNP; RB Zach Carbonnet full

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.
