Bears | Khalil Herbert goes on injured reserve Tue Nov 15, 04:42 PM
Chicago Bears RB Khalil Herbert (hip) was placed on the Reserve/Injured list Tuesday, Nov. 15. Free-agent CB Justin Layne (Giants) was claimed off waivers to replace him on the roster.
| Footballguys view: Bad news for the Bears and Fantasy GMs. Herbert is a talented back who could start for teams out there, but he was working as a backup to David Montgomery. He will now miss at least the next four games on IR. Tristan Ebner could get more work, or the Bears could just lean on Mongtomery and QB Justin Fields even more. |

Steelers | Pittsburgh's Week 3 injury report Fri Sep 24, 03:25 PM
Pittsburgh Steelers WR Diontae Johnson (knee), LB Alex Highsmith (groin) and DT Carlos Davis (knee) did not practice all week and have been ruled out for Week 3 against the Cincinnati Bengals. LB T.J. Watt (groin) was limited in practice all week and is listed as questionable. QB Ben Roethlisberger (pectoral), CB Joe Haden (groin), CB Justin Layne (Achilles), TE Eric Ebron (coaches' decision) and LB Marcus D. Allen (abdomen) practiced in full Friday, Sept. 24, and no longer appear on the injury report. LB Devin Bush (groin) was not given a practice designation Friday but is also expected to play.
| Footballguys view: James Washington will move into the starting lineup, but Juju Smith-Schuster is the biggest beneficiary of Johnson's absence. Watt is crucial to the defense, especially with Highsmith out, which will push Melvin Ingram into the starting lineup. Roethlisberger getting off of the injury report is a relief for an offense that is having trouble generating points. |
