Whisenhunt optimistic Warner may play this week

Nov 24, 2009

Arizona coach Ken Whisenhunt says he had a long talk with Kurt Warner(notes) on the flight home, and the quarterback was “very upbeat and alert” following a blow to the head in Sunday’s’ victory over St. Louis.

Still, Warner’s availability to practice this week or play Sunday at Tennessee will depend on how he does in the mandatory “baseline test” of his cognitive functions. Whisenhunt says the test probably will be administered on Tuesday.

“We are obviously optimistic that there won’t be any issues with that whatsoever,” the coach said Monday.

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.

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.
