Fantasy Football Injury Updates
Dalvin Cook dealing with dislocated shoulder, hopeful to play Week 4
Dalvin Cook is dealing with a dislocated shoulder that he suffered in Week 3. The star running back has an unrepaired labral tear and was not wearing a harness. The hope is he will be able to wear a harness and play in Week 4. (Source: Tom Pelissero on Twitter )
Fantasy Impact: Cook has previous experience playing with a harness for a dislocated shoulder, using it in two games over the last two years. In the 2020 playoffs he tallied 130 yards and two touchdowns and in 2021 tallied 205 yards with two touchdowns. As long as he is able to play in Week 4, his previous history shows the shoulder harness should not hinder his fantasy production.

Fantasy Impact: Jones was in obvious pain as he was helped into the Patriots locker room after the game. Jones is scheduled to meet with the media Monday, most likely after he has his MRI and the team has more information on the nature of the injury. Fantasy managers should expect Jones to miss time if the diagnosis is confirmed. The Patriots will likely turn to veteran Brian Hoyer as the starter with Bailey Zappe as the backup.
David Montgomery (ankle/knee) exits Sunday

Fantasy Impact: Montgomery was rolled up on before being able to walk off the field on his own power. Khalil Herbert has taken over at running back for the Bears and would see additional touches going forward if Montgomery is forced to miss time.
