Fantasy Football Injury Updates
Kyler Murray reportedly diagnosed with torn ACL
Kyler Murray has reportedly been diagnosed with a torn ACL after the team’s initial tests came back following injuring it in the first quarter of Monday’s game against the Patriots.
Fantasy Impact
Murray got injured while trying to plant his foot in the first drive of Monday’s game, and he had to be carted off. The team did tests on his knee, and the initial results say that he likely tore his ACL. More information will come out in the future confirming the injury and the severity of it, but it’s a tough blow for the Cardinals, who will lose their starting quarterback for the remainder of the season and will likely have to look to Colt McCoy to finish out the year for them.
Russell Wilson enters concussion protocol
Russell Wilson has entered the league’s concussion protocols after sustaining a head injury in Sunday’s close loss to the Chiefs.
Fantasy Impact
Wilson took a hard hit that resulted in him leaving the game on Sunday, and he wasn’t able to return. He entered the league’s concussion protocol on Monday and won’t be eligible to play until he clears all levels of the protocol. His status for Week 15 is up in the air right now, and Brett Rypien would likely be the next man up for Denver if Wilson isn’t cleared to play in time.
DeVante Parker (head) ruled out for remainder of Monday night
DeVante Parker has officially been ruled out for the remainder of the game against Arizona with a head injury.
Fantasy Impact
Parker was injured during the first quarter against the Cardinals Monday. Parker’s night ended with two receptions for 24 yards before exiting with the injury. Fantasy managers will want to monitor his status heading into Week 15.
Rhamondre Stevenson (ankle) ruled out for remainder of game Monday
Rhamondre Stevenson (ankle) has been ruled out for the remainder of Monday night’s game against the Arizona Cardinals.
Fantasy Impact
Stevenson had to leave Monday’s game early after suffering an ankle injury, and he will not be able to return. The severity of the injury is unclear, and we will likely get more clarity on it in the coming days. Rookies Kevin Harris and Pierre Strong Jr. will be the next two back up in New England’s backfield with Damien Harris (thigh) also unavailable.
