2014 Fantasy Football: Week 6 Injury Report
Quarterbacks
Carson Palmer – ARZ
Injury- Shoulder
Palmer is officially listed as day to day. He has been throwing light passes and continues to receive treatment. There is no timetable for his return.
Drew Stanton – ARZ
Injury – Concussion
Stanton suffered a concussion in Sunday’s game and will have to pass concussion protocol to be eligible to play. Logan Thomas came in to replace Stanton.
Teddy Bridgewater – MIN
Injury – Ankle
Bridgewater is officially listed as day to day. Nonetheless, after two weeks to recover, he is fully expected to play.
Derek Carr – OAK
Injury – Knee/Ankle
Carr practiced Monday, although it was in a limited capacity. As of now all signs point to him being able to go in Week 6. Still, if you are unfortunate enough to be relying on the Raiders QB, monitor his status closely throughout the week. If he can’t go, Matt Schaub will likely get the start.
Josh McCown – TB
Injury – Thumb
McCown is still listed as day to day. There are no updates or insights into this injury. We’ll just have to wait and see. Mike Glennon will continue to start and may keep the job when McCown is healthy.
Jake Locker -TEN
Injury – Thumb
Locker returned from a wrist injury and injured his thumb. He is officially listed as questionable for Week 6 and is dealing with a lot of swelling right now. It is unlikely he will play Week 6, and the Titans could turn to rookie Zach Mettenberger.
Robert Griffin III – WAS
Injury – Ankle
Conflicting reports have surfaced this week. NFL Network reported that the plan was for RG3 to return Week 8. The Redskins refuted these claims and said they were false.
Running Backs
Fred Jackson – BUF
Injury- Right Leg
Jackson suffered an apparent right leg injury on Sunday and is officially listed as questionable.
DeAngelo Williams – CAR
Injury – Foot
Williams is very unlikely to return Week 6.
Jonathan Stewart – CAR
Injury – Knee
Stewart is questionable for Week 6. There is a good chance he will not be able to play. However, he is closer to playing than Williams.
Montee Ball – DEN
Injury – Groin
Ball will not need surgery on his injured groin. He is expected to miss at least a couple of weeks and is officially listed as doubtful for Week 6. Expect that status to be changed to “OUT” sooner than later.
Reggie Bush – DET
Injury – Ankle
Bush injured his ankle in Sunday’s game and will be re-evaluated. He is listed as questionable for Week 6.
Joique Bell – DET
Injury – Concussion
Bell will still have to complete concussion protocol, but the Lions are hopeful he will be ready to go Week 6.
Knowshon Moreno – MIA
Injury – Elbow
Moreno made a surprise return to practice on Monday and has an outside shot to play Week 6. He is officially listed as questionable.
Mark Ingram – NO
Injury – Hand
Ingram may be able to return after the Saints Week 6 bye. That is would be right on schedule with his original timetable.
Rashad Jennings – NYG
Injury – Knee
Jennings is dealing with a sprained MCL. He is officially doubtful for Week 6. Andre Williams will start in his place.
Donald Brown – SD
Injury – Concussion
Brown suffered a concussion in Sunday’s game and will have to pass all league concussion tests before he is allowed to suit up. Branden Oliver will start if Brown cannot play and maybe even if he can.
Zac Stacy – STL
Injury – Calf
Stacy is dealing with a strained calf and is officially listed as questionable for Week 6. Benny Cunningham will get the start if Stacy can’t go.
