Lions Kevin Smith: 'I'm going to play'

Oct 02, 2009

While Detroit Lions coach Jim Schwartz said running back Kevin Smith (shoulder) will be a game-time decision for Sunday's contest against the Chicago Bears, Smith let his feelings be known.

"I'm going to play,'' Smith said emphatically after Friday's workout.

Smith, who took part in Thursday and Friday practices, left last week's game in the third quarter because of a shoulder injury.

"It's football, so I'm sure I'll have to endure some pain, but it's good enough to go. I feel healthy enough to play at a high level,'' he said.

Smith took part in almost all the drills Thursday and Friday.

"I wouldn't go out there and do that and not play,'' Smith said.

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.

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.
