49ers QB Hill leaves practice with injury

Aug 27, 2009

Two days after the 49ers settled on Shaun Hill as their starting quarterback, Hill was on the sideline with a sore back while his understudies ran practice.

Coach Mike Singletary said Hill strained his lower back during Tuesday's practice by pushing himself too hard. Hill went through the early stages of Wednesday's session without a hitch. But after one throw in the team portion of the practice, he was finished for the day.

Though Hill gave a thumbs-up signal while jogging into the locker room and said he'd "definitely" play Saturday against the Dallas Cowboys, Singletary said he wasn't so sure. "It'll be day-to-day," Singletary said.

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.
