Dallas Notes: Bryant on IR, Witten should be okay

Dec 06, 2010

Dallas Cowboys receiver Dez Bryant underwent successful surgery Monday morning, less than 24 hours after fracturing his right fibula against Indianapolis, according to two sources.

Bryant had a plate inserted into his leg to stabilize the bone, and the Cowboys will put the rookie wide receiver on injured reserve, ending his season. Bryant suffered the injury in the fourth quarter of the 38-35 overtime win on a kickoff return in which linebacker Kavell Conner landed on the ankle while making the tackle.

Bryant's injury was not the only one suffered by the Cowboys against Indianapolis. Tight end Jason Witten suffered a high left ankle sprain in the fourth quarter but managed to return and caught a 2-yard touchdown pass.

Witten said after the game he would be OK, and he has missed only one game in his career, which came as a rookie in 2003.

Fantasy Impact:

Be sure to keep an eye on Witten and his status. As the article pointed out, he returned to the game but high ankle sprains can be hampering...

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.
