Right but is there any indication that Jacobs injury is any worse than they're letting on? I was thinking he's back this week.

Nothing yet. Today is their Wednesday so I doubt he'll practice today. I'm dead at the rb2 slot so I am buying into the injury being more serious than led on.

If it's turf toe then I could see him get another week of rest.

Antonio Gibson with a shin injury. It's probably just a rest day right? or should we jump on mckissick (sp?)

Antonio Gibson has a shin injury and that's why he was a DNP today, team says.

The Chicago Tribune believes Bears OC Bill Lazor is more likely to call plays than coach Matt Nagy for Sunday’s game against the Lions.

This is just beat writer speculation, of course, but Brad Biggs is one of the best in the business. The Bears had a similar meeting of the minds in November of last season and it led to a more productive -- albeit fueled by playing bad defenses -- run for the Chicago offense. This is worth keeping your eye on for Sunday's game, and Lazor admitted in a presser earlier today that "we had some tough conversations," about the offense

Hopefully Fields starts so we can get an idea of what we may see out of the offense as a whole later in the season with Lazor calling plays.

Josh Jacobs was the last player to take the field, so he is practicing today in some capacity

Just spent 10 mins adding Deshaun Watson in my deep leagues (14 teams, 7+ bench spots). Didn’t add in my typical 12-team leagues.


I really want to add him, but I'm afraid of hoping too much right now.

Only solid thing I've seen is the Eagles owner saying "go get him".

ETA: he didn't even say that. He authorized seeking a trade.

Said he's probably questionable for now

After practicing against him for 1 day, Tyrann Mathieu had an interesting comparison for WR Josh Gordon. "He kind of reminds me of Calvin Johnson, just the way he's built . . . From what I've seen, he's a helluva football player.''
