2014 Fantasy Football: Week 9 Injury Report
Quarterbacks
Aaron Rodgers, GB
Injury- Hamstring
Rodgers very noticeably injured his hamstring on Sunday Night Football. However, he is listed as probable and is not expected to miss any time.
Alex Smith, KC
Injury- Shoulder
Smith suffered a right shoulder strain in Sunday’s game. He is officially listed as questionable for Week 9.
Robert Griffin III, WAS
Injury- Ankle
RG3 missed Monday night’s game and will be questionable for Week 9. There is a good chance they hold him out until after their Week 10 bye. Nonetheless, we likely will not know his status until late in the week. Colt McCoy will start in the meantime.
Running Backs
Stepfan Taylor, ARZ
Injury- Calf
Taylor is listed as questionable but could miss significant time with a calf strain. This could result in Andre Ellington seeing a lot more goal line work and greatly increasing his fantasy value.
Antone Smith, ATL
Injury- Neck
Smith was forced out of Sunday’s game with a neck injury and is questionable for Week 9. A neck injury can be nothing or extremely serious so it’s important to monitor his status.
DeAngelo Williams, CAR
Injury- Ankle
Williams sat out Sunday but informed coach Ron Rivera that he’s “ready to roll” for Thursday night’s game.
Giovani Bernard, CIN
Injury- Hip
Gio left Sunday’s game with a hip injury and was not able to return. He is listed as questionable for Week 9. He could be in serious danger of missing next week’s game. Monitor his status closely as the week progresses. You may want to pick up Jeremy Hill off waivers.
Reggie Bush, DET
Injury- Ankle
Bush was inactive for Sunday’s game and is considered day to day. It is hard to get a good read on the situation because we can’t trust anything that comes out of Bush’s mouth. He’s been saying he’s good to go for weeks now.
Rashad Jennings, NYG
Injury- Knee
Jennings is very questionable for Week 9 but is optimistic about playing on Monday night.
Ryan Mathews, SD
Injury- Knee
Mathews is slowly making progress towards a return to action.
Doug Martin
Injury- Ankle
Martin was forced out of Sunday’s game with an ankle injury and did not return. He is listed as questionable but his status is not yet known.
Wide Receivers
Torrey Smith, BAL
Injury- Concussion
Smith suffered a concussion in Sunday’s game and will have to pass the leagues concussion protocol before he is able to return to action.
Robert Woods, BUF
Injury- Back
Woods suffered a back injury in Sunday’s game against the Jets and is listed as questionable for Week 9.
Marquise Goodwin, BUF
Injury- Hamstring
Goodwin was inactive Sunday and is listed as day to day.
A.J. Green, CIN
Injury- Toe
Great news! While Green is still listed as questionable he says he will return next week against the Jags. While he does not expect to be back to 100-percent this season, his 80-percent is still better than most.
Calvin Johnson, DET
Injury- Ankle
Hopefully after the Lions bye week Johnson will be able to return. He has had plenty of time to rest.
Reggie Wayne, IND
Injury- Elbow
We have no update on Wayne at this point but he was expected to miss 1-2 games, so expect him to be questionable this week.
Cordarrelle Patterson, MIN
Injury- Foot
Patterson is no longer in a walking boot and is fine from a health perspective. He is still officially listed as questionable.
Brian Quick, STL
Injury- Shoulder
Quick dislocated his shoulder in Sunday’s game and is doubtful for Week 9. He could miss some time.
Nate Washington, TEN
Injury- Shoulder
Washington suffered a sprained AC Joint in the fourth quarter of Sunday’s game. He is listed as questionable but it’s not likely he plays next week.
Tight Ends
Owen Daniels, BAL
Injury- Knee
Daniels missed Sunday’s game after having a minor procedure on his knee. He is questionable for next week.
Jordan Cameron, CLE
Injury- Concussion
Cameron suffered a concussion in Sunday’s game and will have to pass the leagues concussion protocol before he is able to return to action.
Brandon Pettigrew, DET
Injury- Foot
Pettigrew was held out of Sunday’s game in London. As were fellow TEs Eric Ebron and Joseph Fauria. Pettigrew is listed as day to day. We do not have an update on the other two yet.
