Pennington elects to undergo a third surgery

Sep 29, 2009

While the Dolphins continued Tuesday to look toward their best interest by trading for Chiefs quarterback Tyler Thigpen, quarterback Chad Pennington also has moved toward looking out for his own best interest as well.Adding insult to injury, Pennington also now has stitches on his nose, where he caught a helmet to the face while bullying for a first down in Sunday's game against the Chargers.

The nose injury, of course, is nothing compared to his shoulder. As a result of the upcoming surgery, Pennington's career is in serious jeopardy. He has not yet made a decision about his future.

Pennington, who now has enough information about the injury, has elected to undergo a third surgery to his right shoulder to repair a torn capsule, sources said.

When he travels Friday to Birmingham, Ala., Dr. James Andrews will perform the procedure.

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.
