Holmgren in CLE meeting with the Browns

Dec 15, 2009

The Cleveland Browns search for a new leader of football has taken a surprising — and potentially exciting — turn.

Mike Holmgren spent Monday afternoon and evening in Cleveland meeting with the Browns.

He will spend Tuesday in Berea as well.

Holmgren is discussing joining the Browns as the team's football leader, the "czar" of football, for lack of a better word.

It's a job he has not held in his career, but he brings strong credentials.

Texans QB Tyrod Taylor (hamstring) could miss four weeks

Quarterback Tyrod Taylor’s hamstring injury could keep him out for four weeks.

Taylor was injured in the second quarter of the Texans’ 31-21 loss at Cleveland, and he was replaced by rookie Davis Mills, who’ll start Thursday night’s game against Carolina at NRG Stadium.

Related players: Davis Mills, Jeff Driskel

Fantasy Impact:

Depending on how quickly Taylor’s hamstring responds to treatment, sources familiar with his situation haven’t ruled out an earlier return, but the Texans have always been extra cautious with hamstring and groin injuries and aren’t expected to rush him back, the story went on to say. Mills will get the start and the team is expected to back him up with Driskel on a short week, Thursday night game. If he's still on the wire, Mills is worth adding in deeper leagues or superflex leagues but he's obviously not a confident start for fantasy owners.

Cowboys WR Amari Cooper has bruised ribs

Mike McCarthy says Amari Cooper has bruised ribs and they’ll know more Wednesday.

Related players: CeeDee Lamb

Fantasy Impact:

Owners will have to monitor the status of Cooper this week. He could very well end up being limited even if he plays in Week 3, which, to make matters worse is a Monday night game against the Eagles. Lamb could be in store for a big workload if Cooper has to miss any time as Michael Gallup is on IR.

Rams RB Darrell Henderson dealing with rib cartilage issue

Rams coach Sean McVay says that RB Darrell Henderson has a rib cartilage injury.

Related players: Sony Michel, Jake Funk

Fantasy Impact:

The tweet went on to say the team has hope and optimism for him to play Week 3, and will be checking in again Friday. The Rams host the Bucs in a late afternoon game. Michel would likely get a bulk of the work if Henderson can't go. He carried 10 times for 46 yards last week.
