Ward likely out for Browns game

Dec 08, 2009

Steelers wide receiver Hines Ward appears to be a longshot to play in the Steelers' 8:20 p.m. game Thursday at Cleveland.

Ward sustained a mild hamstring pull near the end of Sunday's 27-24 loss to the Oakland Raiders. The short week for the Steelers does not bode well for the 12th-year veteran playing against the Browns.

"Not favorable for him," Steelers coach Mike Tomlin said.

Fantasy Impact:

This may be too little too late for season-long fantasy, but DFS players should take note of his return assuming the Seahawks make the playoffs.

Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll told reporters Friday that he expects RB Chris Carson to get more work this week against the New York Giants.

Fantasy Impact:

Carson played 37% of snaps and had 10 touches against the Eagles Week 12, and with Carlos Hyde nursing a toe injury #32 could see his workload nearly double in his second week back from a foot injury.
