Ahmad Bradshaw reveals cracked bone in his foot

Oct 29, 2009

Ahmad Bradshaw went to see an ankle specialist on Wednesday who told him what the Giants had told him: he’s cleared to keep playing on a cracked bone in his foot.

At least until the end of the season, or until the crack becomes a full-blown fracture - whichever comes first.

“Of course. I know that. It all depends on the bone and how it is in my foot,” Bradshaw said Thursday as he revealed to reporters the full extent of his injury. “I just plan on going out there and giving my all. If it breaks, it does and I’ll get surgery.
If not, I’ll wait until the end of the season. Hopefully, then I won’t need it. But more than likely, I’ll plan on having surgery.”
Bradshaw said he has a crack in the fifth metatarsal of his right foot. That’s the bone on the outside of the foot, which Bradshaw was told is the easiest bone to break. Bradshaw believes his choppy, “bow-legged” style of running is what caused the injury.

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.

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.
