    NFL Player News for Week 7 - Thursday Edition

    Thank You to FootballGuys!


    WAS - Robert Griffin to return to starting job
    Source: NFL.com - Dan Hanzus
    Washington Redskins QB Robert Griffin III (ankle) 'looked fine' and had 'a little bounce in to his step' in on-field drills Wednesday, Oct. 15, and head coach Jay Gruden said Griffin will return to his starting quarterback job when doctors have cleared him to return to action. 'He looks good so far. He's making good progress as we knew he would, the type of worker he is. But making progress in the training room and making progress in the practice field are two entirely different things. We have to make sure he gets right both mentally and physically before he gets back on the field,' Gruden said.
    [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]
    This is the best move for Washington. Kirk Cousins has not been consistent, and the team needs to turn back to their franchise quarterback. Fantasy owners need to note that Griffin could be back in a couple of weeks.

    NYG - RB Rashad Jennings hopes to return after bye
    Source: ESPNNewYork.com - Dan Graziano
    New York Giants RB Rashad Jennings (knee) has been working out and feels better, and he's hoping he can return after the team's Week 8 bye. 'Getting better every day,' Jennings said. 'Just working out in the gym, getting lost in my music and doing everything I need to do so that when I get back, I'll be back up to speed where I was.' He plans to start running this week.
    [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]
    This was the plan when the injury first hit. Jennings is the Giants best back, and he'll get his starting job back upon his return. Rookie Andre Williams could get a few short-yardage or goal-line carries as a backup behind Jennings.

    Updating a previous report, Carolina Panthers RB Jonathan Stewart (knee) said he is feeling better and expects to play in Week 7.
    [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]
    Awesome....most fantasy owners should be avoiding this backfield. If you're desperate, then you can put in Stewart as a 'what the heck' flex.

    ARI - QB Carson Palmer fully practices
    Source: AZCardinals.com - Darren Urban
    Arizona Cardinals QB Carson Palmer (shoulder) fully participated in practice Wednesday, Oct. 15. Head coach Bruce Arians said Palmer's arm is still not 100 percent but is more than serviceable.
    [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]
    Palmer was back last week, and he certainly made an impact on the offense. His presence in the starting lineup boosts the fantasy value of both Michael Floyd and Larry Fitzgerald.

    DET - WR Calvin Johnson won't rush back
    Source: ESPN.com - Michael Rothstein
    Detroit Lions WR Calvin Johnson (ankle) said there is no point in rushing back to play until he is fully healed and ready to compete at a high level. Both he and head coach Jim Caldwell have been non-committal as to whether Johnson will play in Week 7 against the New Orleans Saints. Johnson said there is still pain 'lingering there.' 'Not beating it up,' Johnson said. 'Not getting out there, rolling it again, it definitely helps you. More and more you can stay off that particular area, the faster it can heal.'
    [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]
    Johnson needs to take all the time necessary to look like his old self. Fantasy owners of Matthew Stafford need to adjust accordingly as Stafford just doesn't play like we're used to when Johnson is out.

    TB - WR Mike Evans on the field
    Source: Tampa Bay Times - Greg Auman
    Tampa Bay Buccaneers WR Mike Evans (groin) is participating in practice Wednesday, Oct. 15. There was some concern that Evans re-injured his groin during drills Tuesday, Oct. 14.
    [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]
    Good news for the rookie here. He came back from the minor groin injury a bit quicker than originally anticipated. The Bucs are on bye this week, but it looks like Evans should be good to go for Week 8.

    DAL - QB Tony Romo may miss two practices
    Source: The Dallas Morning News - Jon Machota
    Dallas Cowboys QB Tony Romo (ankle, ribs) will not participate in practice Wednesday, Oct. 15, and could miss practice Thursday, Oct. 16, after injuring his ankle and ribs in Week 6. Head coach Jason Garrett said he expects Romo to be fine.
    [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]
    Romo took a beating against Seattle, so it's no surprise he would get a couple of days off. Check back to see what his practice status is during the week. We're expecting him to practice by Friday at the latest.

    Miami Dolphins RB Lamar Miller (knee) was limited in practice Wednesday, Oct. 15.
    [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]
    The Dolphins already lost Knowshon Moreno to a knee injury. They'll be cautious with their starter as he deals with this knee problem.

    Denver Broncos RB Montee Ball (groin) did not take part in practice Wednesday, Oct. 15.
    [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]
    Ball is going to miss some time with this groin injury. We don't know exactly how long he's going to be out, but he might not be back for another few weeks.

    Denver Broncos RB Juwan Thompson (knee) did not practice Wednesday, Oct. 15. CB Omar Bolden (groin), S David Bruton (ankle), CB Chris Harris Jr. (knee) and LB Corey Nelson (hamstring) practiced in full.
    [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]
    Watch Thompson here. He missed last Wednesday's practice last week, but he was a full participant on Friday. Thompson worked as the second-string back behind Ronnie Hillman.

    Cleveland Browns RB Ben Tate (finger) practiced in full Wednesday, Oct. 15.
    [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]
    Tate will be the lead back for the Browns this week. They're playing the hapless Jaguars defense, so Tate certainly needs to be in your lineup as a RB2 with RB1 upside.

    NO - RB Mark Ingram practices, expects to play
    Source: New Orleans Times-Picayune - Evan Woodbery
    New Orleans Saints RB Mark Ingram (hand) practiced in full Wednesday, Oct. 15, and said he plans to play in Week 7 against the Detroit Lions. RB Khiry Robinson had been taking most of the snaps in Ingram's absence. 'We'll see how we handle that on Sunday,' said head coach Sean Payton. 'Obviously we value depth at that position.'
    [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]
    We might see Ingram wear a small brace on his hand, but his fracture has healed completely. Before his injury, Ingram was the best Saints back to start for fantasy owners. In his first week back--against a tough Lions defense--we can only recommend him as a RB3/flex play in Week 7.

    NO - TE Jimmy Graham misses practice

    New Orleans Saints TE Jimmy Graham (shoulder) did not practice Thursday, Oct. 15.
    [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]
    We're not shocked. Graham is set to miss 2-3 weeks because of this shoulder injury. In the meantime, Josh Hill and Ben Watson will handle the tight end duties.

    DET - TE Eric Ebron limited
    Source: MLive.com - Justin Rogers
    Detroit Lions TE Eric Ebron (hamstring) was a limited participant in practice Wednesday, Oct. 15. He's a new addition to the team's injury report this week.
    [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]
    The Lions are already going to be without Calvin Johnson this week. They'll have even fewer weapons if Ebron has to miss this game because of the hamstring injury. Check back to see if he can practice fully later in the week.

    Minnesota Vikings WR Cordarrelle Patterson (hip) fully participated in practice Wednesday, Oct. 15.
    [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]
    Patterson has fantastic natural ability, but he's not been a reliable route-runner. His breakout as a receiver has not yet happened...and we may be waiting a while.

    It's a short week for the Jets. They play against the Patriots on Thursday night. Decker has to be considered some sort of game-time decision. Fantasy owners planning on starting Decker need to have another option available just in case.

    Jacksonville Jaguars RB Toby Gerhart (foot) may get another week off to further rest his injured foot, according to head coach Gus Bradley. Bradley said Gerhart's foot would be evaluated Thursday, Oct. 16.
    [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]
    If Gerhart gets the week off, the same number of fantasy owners will rely on him if he does play--zero. Gerhart has not looked good this year, so even if he's a desperation flex play (if he plays), you can't feel good about it.

    Updating a previous report, Carolina Panthers WR Kelvin Benjamin (concussion) did not participate in practice Wednesday, Oct. 15, because of a mild concussion. Benjamin is currently going through the concussion protocol.

    That's a good sign for Bush's availability in Week 7. The Lions play his old team, the Saints, at home...and he'll be looking for revenge. Consider Bush a RB2 with upside in PPR leagues.

    Johnson should be good to go for the Sunday night game against the Broncos. He'll likely be matched up against rookie CB Bradley Roby, and that makes Johnson a 'what the heck' flex play in Week 7.

    One update that may be significant:


    DET - Limited practice for RB Reggie Bush
    Source: DetroitLions.com
    Updating a previous report, Detroit Lions RB Reggie Bush (ankle) was limited in practice for the second straight day Thursday, Oct. 16.
    [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]
    Watch this. Bush should be a good RB2 this weekend and will want to play (revenge game against his old team the Saints) but the more he doesn't practice fully the more worried we get. If he does play after limited practice, will he get through the game? We'll be watching for you.
