Westbrook improving

Nov 02, 2009

Eagles HC Andy Reid said Monday that RB Brian Westbrook should be able to practice this week after missing Sunday’s 40-17 trouncing of the Giants to continue his recovery from a concussion sustained last Monday night against the Redskins.

Westbrook did some aerobics over the weekend and woke up Saturday with a slight headache, prompting Reid to withold his two-time Pro Bowl running back from Sunday’s game. McCoy rushed for 86 yards on 11 carries - including a 66-yard TD run - and caught two passes for 10 yards, a very Westbrook-like effort.

“He did exercise. He’s going to exercise again today,” Reid said in his day-after press conference. “We’ll just see how he does here the closer we get to [practice on] Wednesday.”

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.
