Michael Vick's concussion is “significant”

Nov 14, 2012

When Eagles coach Andy Reid announced on Monday that quarterback Mike Vick has a “significant” concussion, the most common reaction was: (1) every concussion is “significant”; and (2) the symptoms will last until rookie Nick Foles gets injured or flops.

Per a source with knowledge of the situation, it truly is a “significant” concussion, from the perspective of the grading that applies to head injuries.

As a result, that calls into question not only Vick’s availability for the rest of the season but his marketability in the future. There already was no chance that the Eagles would pay Vick $15.5 million in 2013. Given his willingness to embrace contact and the cumulative effects of concussions, anyone who signs him will be assuming the risk of more concussions.

Fantasy Impact:

At this point, we're expecting Nick Foles to start for a while, perhaps for the rest of the season. Vick owners may want to wait for the dust to settle before cutting him.

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.
