Week 13 has almost completely come and gone and as always there are more than a few injury questions to take a look at. Let's get right to it.
-New England Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski came off the field in the second half of the team's victory over the Houston Texans with a noticeable limp. Gronkowski soon returned to the field however and seemed no worse for wear.
-Cleveland Browns QB Brandon Weeden suffered a concussion Sunday in one of his better all-around games of the season in a loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars. As always Weeden will have to pass the NFL concussion protocol which is always tricky. I actually am wondering why I am even typing words about Weeden since really no one cares. Moving on.
-Minnesota Vikings QB Christian Ponder suffered his own concussion Sunday which led to Matt Cassel leading the team to an OT victory. Neither Ponder or Cassel is fantasy football-worthy to say the least.
-Buffalo Bills RB C.J. Spiller injured his ankle again in the first half of his monster game against the Atlanta Falcons. This is an ongoing problem for Spiller as he has dealt with such issues all season. Spiller finished the game strong though so there doesn't seem to be any long-term deals with this.
-New England Patriots wide receiver Kenbrell Thompkins injured a hip and only played one more snap Sunday. Thompkins was a nice story early on in the season but he is barely involved in the offense.
-There was fears that Cleveland Browns wide receiver Josh Gordon suffered a concussion Sunday but he passed the sideline testing and finished up his record-breaking day with no more problems.
-Washington Redskins tight end Jordan Reed screwed his owners big time by being a late scratch with a pre-game headache. Apparently Reed has not fully recovered from the concussion he suffered two weeks ago so his owners who are still playing need to find a backup. Check out Ladarius Webb.
-Another game missed by Denver Broncos tight end Julius Thomas with the knee after it looked like earlier in the week he would be a go. Ride Jacob Tamme until a change is made.
-Aaron Rodgers may not return this season due to the team not being in playoff contention and the fears of exposing him to unnecessary hits with nothing to play for. Tough blow for all Rodgers owners who likely were done when he first broke the bone in his shoulder. Rodgers should remain a top two fantasy football QB for next season tough.
There you have it. As always let us hear your thoughts.
