Roethlisberger injured in overtime

Nov 22, 2009

The Pittsburgh Steelers went to overtime before losing a stunner to the Kansas City Chiefs, but they did so without QB Ben Roethlisberger.

Roethlisberger was on the sidelines for all but a few plays of the extra frame after he took a knee to the head from LB Derrick Johnson while being sacked. He was injured on the Steelers’ fourth play from scrimmage in overtime and was replaced by veteran backup Charlie Batch, who was unable to lead the Steelers to a score before they were forced to punt.

“He took a blow, needless to say it was a concussion-oriented thing,” coach Mike Tomlin said during his postgame news conference. “I doubted that he was going to come back in the football game. I don’t have, of course, a lot of information in terms of where he is or his level of availability. We’ll have more information as we proceed.”

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.
