MIA: Cobbs injures knee, to undergo MRI

Oct 13, 2009

Dolphins tailback Patrick Cobbs suffered what appears to be a serious knee injury during Monday night's 31-27 victory over the Jets.

Cobbs, a utility back and core special teams contributor for the Dolphins, suffered the injury midway through the fourth quarter when he fell awkwardly after running an end around in the Wildcat offense.

Jets linebacker Bryan Thomas slung him to the ground for a 1-yard loss.

Cobbs, who has gained 36 yards on six carries and caught three passes for 23 yards this season, left Land Shark Stadium on crutches with his injured knee in a brace.

He's expected to undergo an MRI on Tuesday morning to determine the severity of his knee injury.

If Cobbs is out for an extended period of time, the Dolphins will have to find another kickoff returner. Cobbs has primarily handled that role this season, averaging 22.6 yards on his 16 kickoff returns.

The Dolphins have four tailbacks on the 53-man roster, the others being starter Ronnie Brown, veteran Ricky Williams and Lex Hilliard, who is in his second season.

49ers RB Isaac Guerendo "plans to play" TNF

San Francisco 49ers running back Isaac Guerendo plans to play Thursday night against the Los Angeles Rams despite his sprained foot, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter.

Guerendo, who is listed as questionable, insists he "feels good," sources said.

Fantasy Impact:

We're projecting Patrick Taylor as the next man up in the 49ers' version of running back roulette *if* Guerendo is forced out, as he easily has the most familiarity with the team. Abanikanda can be stashed if that's not the case, but shouldn't be in starting consideration if Guerendo does indeed miss Week 15.

Otherwise, consider the fourth-round rookie a fantasy RB2.

Fantasy Impact:

This doesn't really impact Nacua or Kupp either way, but Atwell could log a little extra work here. Consider him a very deep league WR5.
