Greer probable; Thomas, Moore out

Jan 01, 2010

After sitting out the last seven games with a sports hernia, it appears Saints starting left cornerback Jabari Greer will finally return to the playing field.

Greer, who had surgery to repair his injury on Dec. 8, has practiced the last two weeks on a limited basis and he is listed as probable for Sunday's game at Carolina, a good sign that he'll be in the lineup.

While Greer is likely to play, three of his teammates have been officially ruled out of the game. Tailback Pierre Thomas (ribs), receiver Lance Moore (ankle), safety Usama Young (sports hernia) will not play.

Five players are listed as questionable: defensive tackle Sedrick Ellis (knee) tight end Jeremy Shockey (toe), defensive end Bobby McCray (back), linebacker Jonathan Vilma (knee) and safety Darren Sharper (knee). Vilma and McCray did not practice on Friday.

Six players besides Greer are listed as probable: tight end Darnell Dinkins (foot), long snapper Jason Kyle (back), guard Jahri Evans (foot), offensive tackle Jermon Bushrod (wrist), tailback Lynell Hamilton (shoulder) and cornerback Randall Gay (concussion).

And two are listed as doubtful: linebacker Scott Shanle (concussion) and tight end David Thomas (calf). Shanle was limited in practice and Thomas sat out of drills.

Chiefs WR Hollywood Brown's practice window to open "Friday or Monday"

Chiefs WR Hollywood Brown has received final clearance to practice, paving the way for him to play before the regular season ends.

Brown, who is recovering from surgery to repair his SC joint, should have his window opened Friday or Monday. The team will be cautious.

Fantasy Impact:

If Brown were cleared by Week 17, he would be incredibly tough to start in pretty much any sort of fantasy league with Championships on the line. However, he could be an interesting click for Playoff-only leagues if he can ramp up in time.

Seahawks RB Kenneth Walker misses second straight practice

For a second straight day today, Seahawks RB Kenneth Walker III didn’t practice due to his calf injury.

Related Players: Zach Charbonnet, Kenny McIntosh

Fantasy Impact:

Looks like things should be cleared out for Charbonnet once again in what could be a very close game against the Packers. If Walker misses Week 15, fire Charbs up as a high-end RB2.

49ers RB Isaac Guerendo, Nick Bosa, and Dre Greenlaw active for Week 15

In Week 15, the red and gold have defensive lineman Nick Bosa and linebacker Dre Greenlaw active and ready for the team's second meeting with their NFC West rival, the Los Angeles Rams.

On the other side of the ball, the 49ers will have rookie running back Isaac Guerendo available against the Rams. He was listed as questionable on Wednesday on account of a foot sprain but was given the green light to play ahead of "Thursday Night Football."

Fantasy Impact:

We do expect Guerendo to handle the majority workload for TNF, but you do have to wonder if he gets the same type of workload he would have, had he avoided the injury report all week. Consider him closer to an RB3 than a locked-in RB2 he otherwise would have been.
