Fantasy Impact
Diaby was carted out of Tampa Bay's practice on Thursday and has since been diagnosed with a high-ankle sprain. That's fairly good news, considering that the other likely diagnosis would've involved him missing much more time than he will with a sprain. He's expected to be sidelined for 4-6 weeks because of it, so he won't miss serious time but could possibly be out for Week 1 of the regular season.
The X-Rays on the ankle of Yaya Diaby were reportedly normal.

Diaby is set to undergo an MRI later on Thursday. The Bucs are optimistic and hoping he avoided a serious injury.
Bucs coach Todd Bowles said all they know right now is that it's an ankle injury for YaYa Diaby.
