Notebook: Grant proclaims hamstring a 'non-issue'

Aug 21, 2009

The Packers are feeling pretty good about their running game with a healthy Ryan Grant.
Last year at this time, Grant had a strained hamstring that sidelined him for the entire exhibition season, and despite the time off the injury lingered all year and was a factor in his average per carry plummeting from 5.1 yards in 2007 to 3.9 yards in ’08.

Though Grant weighs the same 225 pounds he was last year, he looks a little more chiseled as he nears the end of the third week of camp. He’s made it through almost three full weeks without any obvious physical problems and hasn’t missed a practice.

“He’s had a tremendous offseason workout program,” said Edgar Bennett, the Packers’ running backs coach. “He’s strong, he’s healthy. He’s off to a good start.”

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.
