Carney uncertain of his future in NO

Oct 02, 2009

No one has to tell veteran kicker John Carney that these could be his last days wearing a New Orleans Saints uniform.

Kicker Garrett Hartley is expected to be reinstated to the Saints' 53-man roster after serving a four-game suspension for violating the league's substance abuse policy. That reinstatement is expected to come after Sunday's game against the Jets at the Superdome.

Carney, 45, signed as a free agent with the Saints on Aug. 16, his second stint with the team. He made his last five field-goal attempts after his first attempt was blocked by Detroit in the opener.

"I've been in a situation of insecurity before with the New York Giants, " Carney said Thursday. "I just cherish each opportunity and game and take it one week at a time."

Carney said he is uncertain what the future will bring for him in New Orleans.

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.
