Carson Palmer will not play Thursday

Aug 17, 2009

After a 4-11-1 season marred by an elbow injury to quarterback Carson Palmer, the preseason will now feature Palmer struggling with a high ankle sprain.

Per ESPN, it's a mild-to-moderate sprain, which will at a minimum knock Palmer out of Thursday night's preseason game at New England.

The Falcons ruled out WR Drake London for Thursday night.

Fantasy Impact:

The Falcons WR room is mostly down to guys most of us have never heard of. Mooney has not been able to step up his game in London's absence, so he should be considered down in WR4 territory, while Kyle Pitts should be fired up as a low-end TE1.

Raiders QB Geno Smith, dealing with a shoulder injury, is considered unlikely to start on Sunday, sources say. He won’t practice today.

That would put Kenny Pickett in line to start against the Eagles, his former team.

Fantasy Impact:

This is not a good spot-start situation for Pickett, on a Raiders offense that is one of the hardest to watch in the league. There are better SuperFlex options in Week 15.
