Fantasy Football Injury Round-Up

Treylon Burks (WR – TEN)

Treylon Burks suffered an LCL sprain on Aug. 16. Depending on the type of injury, this can take anywhere from two to eight weeks to fully recover. If it’s a grade 2, I wouldn’t be surprised if he missed the beginning of the season but was 100% early on in the year. If it’s just a grade 1, he’ll be 100% fine for week 1. Monitor to see if Burks starts practicing soon.

Concern level: Moderate

Amon-Ra St. Brown (WR – DET)

Amon-Ra St. Brown suffered a “lower leg” injury. He continued to work on the side after the injury, and I expect he is day-to-day.

Concern level: low

Miles Sanders (RB – CAR)

Miles Sanders suffered a groin injury on Aug. 9. He missed the preseason game and continued to miss practice. I expect he will be ready by the start of the season, but he may not be fully ramped up by week 1. Monitor his status in practice.

Concern level: Moderate
