Nothing makes a fantasy football owner smile more than a short NFL Injury Report and that is exactly what we are going to get here as Week 9 comes to a close. That's not to say the injuries that did occur didn't hurt us – both in seasonal fantasy and DFS – but when the list is short, you know that your Week 10 waiver wire work is going to be light. Of course, we'll still have to wait for more news Monday as there are always some bumps, bruises and soft-tissue injuries that crop up the day after. For now, we'll take the short list and figure out how to deal with it.

 

 

NFL Quarterback Injury Updates

 

Ryan Tannehill, Tennessee Titans – Ankle

This isn't a new injury, but considering Tannehill was considered questionable and a game-time decision for this week, we'd at lest report that he did not play Sunday night and is still considered week-to-week with this current ankle injury. Chances are, if you are in a superflex league, Malik Willis is already gone, but you should always check. Re-draft, single-quarterback league owners do not need to add Willis to their rosters.

NFL Running Back Injury Updates

 

Aaron Jones, Green Bay Packers – Ankle

Jones left Sunday's game with an ankle injury fairly early on and was quickly deemed questionable to return. He never made it back and while we have yet to hear of any x-rays or tests, we do know that he was seen in a walking boot following the game. Expect the team to provide updates either Monday or Tuesday and from there we will know just how serious and for how long he is expected out. A.J Dillon will take over lead back responsibilities should Jones miss any time, with Kyren Hill also likely to be involved in the mix for carries.

Craig Reynolds, Detroit Lions – Ribs

He suffered a rib injury during the first half on Sunday and never made it back into the game. Reynolds served merely as a change-of-pace back, but his absence, coupled with D'Andre Swift's continued injury woes, may give rise to more snaps for Justin Jackson. Jamaal Williams still leads this backfield, but as this team continues to struggle, the carry-share could get a little murky.

Chris Evans, Cincinnati Bengals – Knee

For those in deeper leagues and leagues that score points for return yards, it was a rough day for Evans who appeared to have suffered a fairly significant knee injury during the first half. He never returned and while we don't have a full report from the team, it does sound like this could be a long-term thing. Trent Taylor is next in line to return kicks and punts for the Bengals.

NFL Wide Receiver Injury Updates

 

Romeo Doubs, Green Bay Packers – Ankle

You knew it was going to be a tough day for Aaron Rodgers after he threw that first green zone pick, but you never want it to be this tough.

Doubs injured his ankle after making an 18-yard catch and immediately hobbled over to the sidelines where he was looked at by trainers. The situation went from bad to worse as you see here – he had to be carted off to the locker room. We haven't heard about any test results yet, but Doubs was seen in a walking boot and on crutches as he was leaving the stadium. Early speculation is that it could be a high-ankle sprain which could keep him out for a few weeks.

Christian Watson, Green Bay Packers – Concussion

For the second week in a row, the rookie wideout left the game and was being evaluated for a concussion. There hasn't been an official report from the team yet, but a recurring head injury doesn't exactly scream day-to-day. We'd say you should look at Amari Rodgers, Sammy Watkins or Samori Toure for your Week 10 waiver wire work, but this is starting to look like a quarterback problem and not just the receivers.
