Roethlisberger injured in overtime

Nov 22, 2009

The Pittsburgh Steelers went to overtime before losing a stunner to the Kansas City Chiefs, but they did so without QB Ben Roethlisberger.

Roethlisberger was on the sidelines for all but a few plays of the extra frame after he took a knee to the head from LB Derrick Johnson while being sacked. He was injured on the Steelers’ fourth play from scrimmage in overtime and was replaced by veteran backup Charlie Batch, who was unable to lead the Steelers to a score before they were forced to punt.

“He took a blow, needless to say it was a concussion-oriented thing,” coach Mike Tomlin said during his postgame news conference. “I doubted that he was going to come back in the football game. I don’t have, of course, a lot of information in terms of where he is or his level of availability. We’ll have more information as we proceed.”

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.
