Updates to WR Wayne and RB Brown injuries

Oct 27, 2009

The Colts on Sunday sustained two significant injuries – one to WR Reggie Wayne (groin) and the other two RB Donald Brown (shoulder).

Wayne, a three-time Pro Bowl selection, told Polian on Sunday following a 42-6 victory over St. Louis that “he felt good,” while Polian said the injury to Brown – a first-round selection in this past April’s 2009 NFL Draft – was a “shoulder contusion.”

“He was given some exercises to do,” Polian of Brown said Monday on his weekly radio on 97.1 Hank FM in Indianapolis. “The feeling was it wasn’t terrible. It was clearly a very painful contusion.”

Polian didn’t specify a timetable on either player, but while discussing backup running back Mike Hart later in the show said “if he [Brown] misses a week or two or three, Mike is very likely to be up and dressed and playing a big role.”

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.
