DeMarco Murray sat because dehydration level 'a little high'

Aug 04, 2015

Two days later Chip Kelly explained why running back DeMarco Murray was not in team drills during Sunday's first training camp practice.

Apparently, the Eagles test every player every day for the dehydration levels and Murray came up, according to Kelly "a little high'' Sunday.

"It was a training staff decision,'' Kelly said Tuesday before the team's training session at Lincoln Financial Field. "Especially, with the way the weather has been, we didn't want to take any chances. It's not just for (Murray), we treat every player on a daily basis.''

Fantasy Impact:

That's the team's take, so it's good news for anyone who worried there was more to the story. Murray returned to practice on Monday.

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.
