Victor Cruz (calf) pain free after running on turf

Sep 22, 2015

Giants wideout Victor Cruz ran on the practice field grass for the first time since suffering a calf injury during training camp, and maintained that he was pain free afterward. He noted swelling was down and he felt closer to a return.

“The short week leaves us a little handicapped,” he said.

Cruz and the team’s training staff will monitor how he reacts Wednesday morning. The Giants square off against Washington Thursday night at MetLife Stadium. The Giants have lost their first two games as Cruz missed both with the injury.

Fantasy Impact:

Cruz didn't have much of a chance to play in Week 3 because of the short week, but he may have a shot in Week 4 if he continues to progress. The team released Preston Parker because of his drops, but it could be another sign Cruz is closer to returning.

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.
