Justin Herbert aggravates high-ankle sprain against Steelers
Justin Herbert aggravated his high-ankle sprain during the Steelers game on Sunday. X-rays came back negative but he will be monitored this week.

Fantasy Impact

It’s not terrible news for fantasy managers but it’s not great news either. On the bright side, it doesn’t sound like he will miss extended time, if any, but on the downside, he could be hampered by this injury if it continues to linger. Fantasy managers will need to monitor the situation as it unfolds.

Garrett Ball

Sam LaPorta dealing with low-ankle sprain
Lions TE Sam LaPorta underwent tests on Monday to confirm that he is dealing with a low-ankle sprain, of which he suffered during Sunday’s matchup against the Cardinals.

Fantasy Impact

This is better news than what could’ve been, as LaPorta should not miss too much time, if any. Expect TE Brock Wright to take the majority of the snaps if LaPorta is to be absent for any games.
