Childress not concerned about Jackson

Aug 02, 2009

Brad Childress expressed little concern about the knee injury suffered by quarterback Tarvaris Jackson on Saturday.

Childress, speaking after the Vikings’ second practice of the day, would not confirm that Jackson suffered a Grade 1 sprain of the medial collateral ligament in his left knee during the morning session, but the Vikings coach said he has no plans to bring in a third quarterback to take reps behind Sage Rosenfels and John david Booty. That should serve as a clear indication that Jackson won’t be out long because if he was going to miss substantial time someone would need to be signed to take some of the reps.

“I’ll have to see going forward,” Childress said when asked about Jackson’s status. “I’m not that clairvoyant. He just stayed and treated and it looks like he’ll be just fine.”

Jackson was injured during an 11-on-11 drill when he stepped up in the pocket and collided with defensive tackle Letroy Guion, who had slipped to the ground while being blocked by center John Sullivan.

49ers RB Isaac Guerendo "plans to play" TNF

San Francisco 49ers running back Isaac Guerendo plans to play Thursday night against the Los Angeles Rams despite his sprained foot, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter.

Guerendo, who is listed as questionable, insists he "feels good," sources said.

Fantasy Impact:

We're projecting Patrick Taylor as the next man up in the 49ers' version of running back roulette *if* Guerendo is forced out, as he easily has the most familiarity with the team. Abanikanda can be stashed if that's not the case, but shouldn't be in starting consideration if Guerendo does indeed miss Week 15.

Otherwise, consider the fourth-round rookie a fantasy RB2.

Fantasy Impact:

This doesn't really impact Nacua or Kupp either way, but Atwell could log a little extra work here. Consider him a very deep league WR5.
