ESPN: The federal Department of Labor is accusing imprisoned NFL
star Michael Vick of illegally withdrawing more than $1.3 million
from a pension plan. The department filed complaints Wednesday
against Vick in federal district and bankruptcy courts in Newport
News. Vick attorney Mark Lichtenstein declined to comment on the
complaints. The department says Vick made a series of prohibited
transfers from a pension plan sponsored by MV7, a celebrity
marketing company owned by the former Falcons quarterback. The
department alleges that Vick violated his duties as trustee of a
pension plan that covered nine current or former MV7 employees.
"This action sends a message that the Labor Department will not
tolerate the misuse of plan money and will take whatever steps
necessary to recover the assets owed to eligible workers,"
Secretary of Labor Hilda L. Solis said in a prepared statement.
The department also accused two of Vick's former financial
advisers, Mary R. Wong and David A. Talbot, of participating in
some of the transfers.

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.
