Chargers.com: RB Ladainian Tomlinson hopes that a month of rest
will allow his strained groin to heal, but he hasn't ruled out the
possibility of offseason surgery. "We've got a deadline that if
I'm not feeling better by then, then we probably might have to do
something," Tomlinson said. "Hopefully we won't have to because I
think in a month's time I feel like I'll be feeling better."
Sunday was the first time in LT's NFL career in which injury
caused him to be inactive for a game. He said that he's talked to
other players who have dealt with his injury and successfully seen
the strain heal without an operation.

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.
