RB Jonathan Stewart admitted there's still some pain

Aug 05, 2009

Panthers RB Jonathan Stewart still looks strong when he runs, but he admitted Tuesday there's still some pain that will limit his camp routine.
After missing parts of his rookie training camp while coming back from toe surgery, Stewart missed all of minicamp and summer school with an Achilles problem that was a natural outgrowth of the previous injury.
Stewart said it was more of a nagging injury than anything serious, saying he felt much better than last year this time. When asked if the Achilles was still painful, he replied: “Yeah, it is.”
It hasn't seemed to hinder him in the two practices he's participated in thus far. But he took Monday's night session off before returning for Tuesday's single practice, and he said he's likely go once a day for the foreseeable future.

TE Evan Engram out for the season. Surgery coming on labrum in shoulder.

Related Players: Brenton Strange, Luke Farrell, Josiah Deguara

Fantasy Impact:

Bummer for Engram, who will finish the season as the TE16 with 7.3 half-PPR PPG in nine weeks.

It's unlikely that Strange pops up as a TE streamer through the remainder of the season, with no more byes on the horizon.

Chiefs WR Hollywood Brown's practice window to open "Friday or Monday"

Chiefs WR Hollywood Brown has received final clearance to practice, paving the way for him to play before the regular season ends.

Brown, who is recovering from surgery to repair his SC joint, should have his window opened Friday or Monday. The team will be cautious.

Fantasy Impact:

If Brown were cleared by Week 17, he would be incredibly tough to start in pretty much any sort of fantasy league with Championships on the line. However, he could be an interesting click for Playoff-only leagues if he can ramp up in time.

Seahawks RB Kenneth Walker misses second straight practice

For a second straight day today, Seahawks RB Kenneth Walker III didn’t practice due to his calf injury.

Related Players: Zach Charbonnet, Kenny McIntosh

Fantasy Impact:

Looks like things should be cleared out for Charbonnet once again in what could be a very close game against the Packers. If Walker misses Week 15, fire Charbs up as a high-end RB2.
