Jan 10, 2010

Bengals quarterback Carson Palmer said he is scheduled to have surgery to repair ligament damage in his left thumb next week.

The Bengals' season concluded with a 24-14 loss to the New York Jets.

Palmer wore a protective glove on his left hand after injuring the thumb in the fourth quarter of a 17-14 win over Baltimore in October.

ESPN: Saints QB Taysom Hill loses fantasy eligibility at TE

As the fantasy football regular season winds down, we at ESPN Fantasy would like to alert you to a key positional eligibility change that will take place on Tuesday, Nov. 24: Taysom Hill will have his tight end eligibility taken away and quarterback will become his primary position.

Related players: Drew Brees

Fantasy Impact:

The story said beginning in Week 12, Hill will be eligible at QB only. The change was made for this week and not last week because Hill played the entire game at QB in Week 11 and is expected to continue in that role, at least primarily, until Drew Brees returns as the New Orleans Saints' starting quarterback, the story went on to say.

Cardinals will see if QB Kyler Murray can 'cut it loose' Tuesday

Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray said his shoulder was good after he appeared to hurt it in last Thursday’s loss to the Seahawks, but head coach Kliff Kingsbury wants to see Murray in practice before making any proclamations about the quarterback’s condition.

“We’ll see how he feels tomorrow when we get out on the grass and see where we’re at practice-wise if we need to make any adjustments or if he can cut it loose,” Kingsbury said, via Tyler Drake of 98.7 Arizona Sports.

Fantasy Impact:

Kingsbury said that Murray is “working through” his shoulder issue and the team will see how practice goes on Tuesday before deciding if they need to alter anything about his workload this week, the story said. The Cards play in New England on Sunday.

Eagles say QB Jalen Hurts may play a little more

Eagles coach Doug Pederson has been crystal clear that he will not bench starting quarterback Carson Wentz for rookie Jalen Hurts. But Hurts might start to get more snaps as a gadget player on offense.

“I think I can get him in the game a little bit more,” Pederson said.

Fantasy Impact:

Of course, Hurts only played one snap on Sunday against the Browns, so playing Hurts “a little bit more” wouldn’t necessarily mean giving him a significant role in the offense, the story pointed out. So far this season Hurts has 12 carries for 56 yards and one catch for three yards. He has yet to throw a pass. Hurts was a surprising second round pick by the team, so the QB controversy is real in Philly right now.
