Packers QB Aaron Rodgers dealt with back injury Sunday morning

At the end of his post-game press conference. Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers made an impromptu, post-hoc amendment to the team’s official injury report.

He had a back issue on Sunday morning, which required immediate treatment on Sunday morning to allow him to play.

“I do have to give a big shout out to [Packers Coordinator of Rehabilitation] Nate Weir and [Packers Chiropractor] Mike Zoelle,” Rodgers said. “I woke up this morning and my back was killing me, it was all locked up. And I came in here early, and I’m thankful for those guys taking care of me in order to go out and play today.”

Fantasy Impact:

Obviously Rodgers was able to play and performed well on top of it. The story said most teams will require players to spend Saturday night in a hotel, even for home games, and Rodgers said the bed was uncomfortable. Rodgers seems good to go but back injuries are something that can linger or come out of no where.

Buccaneers 'would hope' TE Rob Gronkowski plays Week 8

Buccaneers tight end Rob Gronkowski suffered broken ribs during a Week Three loss to the Rams. He has missed four games. Will he be back for Sunday’s showdown at New Orleans?

“I would hope that Gronk could be ready to go,” coach Bruce Arians told reporters on Monday.

Fantasy Impact:

The Bucs rolled to a win over the Bears with the WRs stepping up without Gronk in the lineup. Both Brate and Howard weren't factors at TE as Mike Evans and Chris Godwin combined for four TDs in the game. If Antonio Brown can also return, it looks like the Bucs could be back to full strength for a Week 8 game at the Saints. Keep in mind Gronk was 'close' to playing in Week 6 and Week 7.

Browns QB Baker Mayfield doesn't practice; RB Nick Chubb back

In addition to Browns Baker Mayfield not being at practice in the early part open to the media, John Johnson III, JC Tretter, Malik Jackson and David Njoku also weren't there. Nick Chubb and Jack Conklin were back.

Related players: Case Keenum, D'Ernest Johnson

Fantasy Impact:

If Mayfield can't go in Week 8 with the shoulder injury, it would be Keenum getting the start as the Browns try to keep their season alive despite all kinds of injuries. The team would certainly get a boost with the return of Chubb at RB, likely sliding Johnson down to the RB2 role, which would seem to still have fantasy relevance as the Browns should remain run-heavy.
