NO: Bell, Moore did not practice Wednesday

Sep 23, 2009

Just like last Wednesday, the Saints had a lengthy injury report coming out of their Week 2 game at Philly. Even quarterback, thanks to a series of hamstring injuries. Drew Brees appeared with a left (non-throwing) shoulder, though he practiced fully and said it’s nothing serious.

Six players did not participate in Wednesday’s practice: tailback Mike Bell (knee), receiver Lance Moore (hamstring), defensive end Bobby McCray (hamstring), defensive tackle Kendrick Clancy (knee), offensive tackle Jammal Brown (hip) and tight end Darnell Dinkins (foot).

Two players were limited in Wednesday’s practice – defensive end Charles Grant (hamstring) and linebacker Jo-Lonn Dunbar (hamstring).

Five players practiced fully – Brees, offensive tackle Jermon Bushrod (knee), tight end Jeremy Shockey (ankle), tailback Pierre Thomas (knee) and safety Roman Harper (hamstring).

Chargers to sign RB J.K. Dobbins on one-year deal

Former Ravens RB J.K. Dobbins is planning to sign with the #Chargers on a one-year deal. Electric when healthy, Dobbins — who averages 5.8 yards per carry in his career — reunites with OC Greg Roman and can hit the market again in March.

Related Players: Gus Edwards

Fantasy Impact:

Dobbins has had poor injury luck in his career, but has only managed 234 total rushes since being drafted in the second round of the 2020 NFL Draft. This is a low-risk, high-reward move by the Chargers and might give them a runway to wait a little longer in the '24 Draft before they address the position.

Cowboys sign RB Royce Freeman

The Cowboys have signed running back Royce Freeman to a one-year deal. Freeman had 319 yards on 77 carries with 2 touchdowns last year for the Los Angeles Rams. He was 3rd round pick of Denver in '18.

Related Players: Rico Dowdle, Deuce Vaughn

Fantasy Impact:

Freeman hasn't rushed for 500 yards since 2018, his rookie season. This shouldn't have any impact on the team drafting at the position and/or bringing back Ezekiel Elliott.

The Eagles have paid another big-time, rising player. This time, WR DeVonta Smith gets a 3-year, $75M contract extension that includes $51M guaranteed.

Related Players: A.J. Brown, DeVante Parker, Parris Campbell

Fantasy Impact:

Great news for Jalen Hurts and the Eagles offense as a whole. Smith will continue his 1b role in which he finished the 2023 season as fantasy's WR22.
