Lions TE Brandon Pettigrew injures Knee

Nov 27, 2009

The Lions lost tight end Brandon Pettigrew, the No. 20 overall pick in the draft, to a left knee injury on their first series.

"That's something that'll need some serious looking at," Schwartz said.

Pettigrew's knee buckled on a noncontact play, as he was maneuvering to make a block.

Asked if initial tests had shown a torn ligament, Schwartz said: "I don't want to read too much into it."

J.J. McCarthy - really good practice....will face Washington and feels really good...credits the trainers.

Fantasy Impact:

Looks like McCarthy will play in Week 10 on what is a short week for the Giants who play the Commanders on Thursday night. McCarthy should be getting Cam Skattebo back in the run game as well, which should be a big help. McCarthy left the game for a short time in Week 9 but was able to return.

Cowboys sign RB Kendre Miller

The Cowboys will do something today, a person with knowledge of the situation said the team will sign RB Kendre Miller to practice squad.

Related players: Tyler Goodson, Javonte Williams

Fantasy Impact:

Miller will take the place of Goodson who is expected to miss some time as Williams' backup. Over the last three weeks, Goodson was averaging about 10 carries a game so Miller could get a similar role with the Cowboys. Miller is worth adding if he ended up back on your league's waiver wire. If he's going to get that kind of volume, he could be a flex play, and of course is potentially an injury away from a more significant role.

RB Jonathan Taylor staying with Colts

The Colts won’t trade star RB Jonathan Taylor by today’s deadline.

Related players: Seth McGowan

Fantasy Impact:

The post said multiple teams offered a second-round pick and more for Taylor. But the Colts wanted a blockbuster offer to even consider it. So, Taylor stays and is part of an offense that will also feature TE Tyler Warren - and that's about it. Taylor should continue to get the volume but at some point the team may give more to McGowan, who did score a touchdown this past week against the Cowboys.
