North County Times: Ladainian Tomlinson carried the ball just 5
times for 25 yards and scored before leaving the game when
aggravating a groin injury in the 2nd quarter. "In pregame I just
got out there and was seeing how it was going to feel and what I
had to deal with during the game," he said. "The first run, it was
evident the burst - I just didn't have the burst. I really
couldn't put my foot in the ground and get through the holes like
I wanted to. "So I went as long as I could. It was evident after
that TD run that it was at that point I felt like I was making it
worse." So Tomlinson stepped aside, giving way to Darren Sproles
(105 yards, 2 scores) and Michael Bennett (24 yards). "It's a
decision you have to make because your pride gets in the way a lot
of time thinking you can do it," Tomlinson said. Tomlinson didn't
sound confident about playing next week. "I'm enjoying the ride,
but I'm worried about my health," he said. "Long term, I don't
have time to think about that. I'm not too concerned about that.
Short term, I'm very concerned. I don't know whats ahead of me in
the near future. It's going to be something we will have to wait
and see."

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.
