Dec 30, 2008

Times Picayune: Saints TE Jermey Shockey missed two regular-season
games and the playoffs of the 2007 season with a broken leg. This
season, he missed 4 games with a groin problem, which resulted in
sports hernia surgery, and an ankle sprain and had 50 catches for
483 yards and no TDs, both career lows. Payton said he thought
Shockey could get back to the production he had during his rookie
season, in 2002, when Payton was the Giants' OC, when Shockey had
74 catches for 894 yards and 2 TDs. And he said Monday that he
will participate in the Saints' offseason workout program. "I'm
going to do a lot of work with Drew (Brees)," Shockey said. "I'm
going to be here working with these guys. I haven't done that in
five or six years, and I'm not saying that I didn't make the right
decision in the past. Just here, I think it would benefit myself
and the team a lot more than it would if I was playing, doing the
one up in New York. "So I'm going to still work out in Miami,
that's the normal plan, but really show my face and come around
here a lot more than I've ever done in my whole career."

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.
