Eddie Lacy (groin) makes it through conditioning workout

Nov 10, 2015

The Green Bay Packers got good news on Monday about Eddie Lacy's groin injury.

Lacy was able to go through a conditioning workout one day after he dropped out of the 37-29 loss at Carolina in the second half and could not return. Coach Mike McCarthy said Lacy had no trouble completing the players' regular day-after-game session.

Lacy, who rushed five times for just 10 yards and lost a fumble against the Panthers, would need to average 99 yards per game over the next eight games to reach 1,100 yards rushing for the third straight season.

“Eddie, he’ll have more opportunities,” offensive coordinator Edgar Bennett said. “I guess [Sunday] was really more injury related than anything else. We’ve definitely got to get him going.”

Fantasy Impact:

Halfway through the season, Lacy has dealt with two injuries -- a sprained right ankle in Week 2 and the groin on Sunday -- and has only 308 yards rushing. His yards-per-carry average (3.7) is well below his combined average from his two seasons (4.4), the story said. It went on to say even if Lacy’s groin allows him to play this week, there’s no guarantee he will start -- or get the majority of the carries -- on Sunday against the Detroit Lions. With or without injuries, the former workhorse back has slipped behind the more productive James Starks on the running back pecking order.

Chargers set to open window for RB J.K. Dobbins (knee)

Chargers will be opening J.K. Dobbins' 21-day window today, Jim Harbaugh tells reporters.

Related players: Gus Edwards

Fantasy Impact:

Dobbins has been on IR for the past four games with a knee injury. He's not a lock to play this week and he's not a lock for a safe workload even if he does play. The Chargers travel to New England in Week 17, so the matchup isn't a bad one. It's an early window game on Sunday, so owners should have plenty of notice. We'll also keep an eye on the practice reports this week.

Dolphins unsure of WR Jaylen Waddle's (knee) status for Week 17

McDaniel non-committal on whether Jaylen Waddle (knee) will practice this week: "I'm expecting to get everything from Waddle that he can do... I've [talked to] the trainer to make sure we protect him from himself. We will see how the week progresses. I don't know exactly what it will look like."

Fantasy Impact:

Waddle owners should probably not count on Waddle for Week 17, or at the very least have a backup plan. Waddle and the Dolphins play the Browns in the later window on Sunday so it could further complicate things for owners who were hoping to play him.

Texans WR Tank Dell tore ACL, dislocated knee

DeMeco Ryans says WR Tank Dell tore his ACL along with dislocating his knee.

Fantasy Impact:

No surprises here as it was a terrible injury to watch during the game. While he's obviously out for the season, the bigger question is what will his status be for 2025. It's a huge question mark at this point given the seriousness of the injury. Even if Dell is able to play next season, he may take a while to get back to 100%.
