Update on Bucs rookie OLB Anthony Nelson, who hasn't practiced since Aug. 5: His injury is an MCL sprain in his right knee, normally a 4-to-6-week injury, so it's reasonable to think he won't play in the preseason. Still high hopes for fourth-round pick out of Iowa.

Fantasy Impact:

Nelson, a fourth-round rookie, has not practiced since August 5 and is not expected to return until the regular season. The rookie linebacker could see a significant role once he is healthy on a rebuilding Tampa Bay defense.
