15,000 show up for Lions practice

Aug 08, 2009

Jim Schwartz was shocked by the number of Lions fans who showed up for an open practice at Ford Field, despite the pouring rain. He expressed his gratitude in an address to the fans before practice. The official attendance for Saturday's two-hour practice -- featuring players in full pads -- was 15,387.

A number of players missed the practice with injury, including rookie tight end Brandon Pettigrew, rookie safety Louis Delmas, receiver John Standeford, tight end Casey Fitzsimmons, tight end Jake Nordin, receiver Bryant Johnson, safety Louis Bullocks, running back Maurice Morris, offensive lineman Lydon Murtha and cornerback Keith Smith.

Saints RB Alvin Kamara off injury report ahead of Week 15

The Saints officially listed QB Derek Carr (left hand/concussion) as doubtful for Sunday vs. Washington. Jake Haener will make his first NFL start.

RB Alvin Kamara (illness) is off the injury report and good to go.

Related Players: Kendre Miller

Fantasy Impact:

It would have been an easy click for a Kendre Miller week if Kamara were forced to miss, but this puts the kibosh on that. Fire Kamara up as an RB2 this week in a game that may feature him even more than usual with no Carr.

Seahawks RB Kenneth Walker Doubtful for Week 15

The Seahawks list RB Kenneth Walker III (calf) as doubtful for Sunday's game.

Related Players: Zach Charbonnet, Kenny McIntosh

Fantasy Impact:

Looks like a clear runway for another Charbonnet week in what should be a tightly contested game against the Packers at home. Fire him up as a fringe RB1/2.
