Jackson sits, hitting starts

Aug 03, 2009

As promised the Vikings went through today’s opening practice in full pads for the first time since training camp started on Friday. However, quarterback Tarvaris Jackson was absent for a third consecutive practice as he continues to rehab from a Grade 1 sprain of the medial collateral ligament in his left knee.

Coach Brad Childress was not scheduled to address the media after the opening practice so it remains unclear when Jackson might return to the field. Childress had said Sunday there was “a chance” that Jackson would be able to give it a try on Monday but that seemed like a long shot when Jackson was seen with a brace on his knee.

Sage Rosenfels and John david Booty again took all the reps during the morning practice.

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.
