It's a great day. Your team finally takes the field and by team, I do mean your fantasy football squad of course. One sure fire way to start the season out with a loss is to bypass an injury news this morning and no take that into consideration.
Here's some last minute Sunday morning news:
- Jamal Lewis will likely play, but is suffering from a hamstring injury and could very well be a gametime decision. I don't like his odds for a big game anyway, so if you've got a backup that will get carries, go with him.
- Willis McGahee was upgraded to probable and thus is a good start against the Bengals. Expect Ray Rice to still he carries, but I think Willis is good for a touchdown this afternoon at the very least. This is Cincy's defense we're talking about.
- Antonio Gates is good to go.
- Reggie Brown is out for the Philadelphia Eagles. This is bigger news for Donovan McNabb owners than Brown who is likely a deep reserve. That's both his starting wide receivers on the bench, so insert rookie DeSean Jackson and Hank Baskett. Jackson could impress and is a solid start today actually, but I don't know that McNabb will be putting up anything special today.
- Ryan Grant is banged up and while he's probable, having practiced on Friday, he shouldn't be counted on against Minnesota.
- Javon Walker is questionable Monday night versus his old team. I certainly hope you have better options, but if you're desperate I say he definitely plays with that added fuel against the Broncos.
As is the case with the NFL, you can expect this injury report to grow significantly by Tuesday. Good luck this weekend.
