McFadden ankle injury 'worse than expected'

The Contra Costa Times' Steve Corkran confirms Darren McFadden's ankle injury is "worse than expected."

Coach Dennis Allen stated after Oakland's Thanksgiving loss to Dallas that DMC would be ready to handle a full workload in Week 14, in the event Rashad Jennings (concussion) couldn't play against the Jets. Per Corkran, McFadden is "out now," although it's unclear whether he's referring to out of practice or out for Week 14. We suspect the latter will prove true regardless. McFadden's value in re-draft fantasy leagues is slim to none.

49ers getting rookie WR Patton back this week

49ers rookie WR Quinton Patton is not on the Week 14 injury report.

He'll return from his foot fracture against Seattle. Patton was making moves up the depth chart before he got hurt, on the heels of an impressive preseason. He isn't on the re-draft radar, but has plenty of Dynasty league appeal. Patton figures to be San Francisco's No. 4 receiver Sunday, behind Anquan Boldin, Michael Crabtree, and situational deep threat Mario Manningham.

Darren McFadden now battling ankle injury

Updating a previous item, Darren McFadden missed Wednesday's practice with an ankle injury.

Here we go again. Coach Dennis Allen says McFadden hurt the ankle in the Thanksgiving Day game against the Cowboys. This guy simply can't stay on the field. The Raiders and McFadden are hopeful he'll be back soon, but we're not going to hold our breath. The Raiders running back fantasy owners do care about, Rashad Jennings, returned to practice Wednesday after being concussed Thursday.

Andre Ellington (knee) a no-go on Wednesday

Andre Ellington (knee) did not practice Wednesday.

"I’m fine right now. It’s a day by day thing," Ellington said. "I’ll be ready to go on Sunday." We'll see. Coach Bruce Arians said Ellington was "never close" to playing last week. The Cardinals plan to take a cautious approach with Ellington. If he does suit up, Ellington will be on the flex map against the Rams.

Le'Veon Bell (concussion) practicing in full

Le'Veon Bell (concussion) was a full participant at Wednesday's practice.

Phenomenal news. Six days after getting knocked out cold and admitting he didn't remember the play, Bell is back on the field. This puts him right on track to start Sunday against the Dolphins. However, we'll still need to monitor Bell throughout the week to make sure he doesn't suffer any setbacks. For now, pencil Bell into fantasy lineups as a mid-to-high RB2 against Miami.

Bills ink former Chiefs tight end Tony Moeaki

Bills signed TE Tony Moeaki to a two-year contract.

Moeaki opened the season on injured reserve and was waived by the Chiefs with an injury settlement in Week 8. He posted a 33/453/1 line in 15 games last season and will provide depth behind contract-year TE Scott Chandler. The Bills released RB Tashard Choice from the 53-man roster in a corresponding move. It wouldn't be insane to grab Moeaki in deeper Dynasty leagues. Still only 26, Moeaki has always been an effective run blocker -- which will get him on the field -- and his pass-catching talent is a big upgrade on Chandler's when healthy.

Reggie Bush misses practice with calf injury

Updating a previous item, Reggie Bush missed Wednesday's practice with a calf injury.

Bush practiced Tuesday. He either hurt himself toward the end of that session or is getting a veteran's day of rest. It could be a combination of both. Beat writers haven't sounded too concerned, but it's still very early in the week. It's going to be something to monitor the rest of the week. Bush will be in the top half of the RB1 mix for the Lions' Week 14 tilt in Philadelphia.

Rashad Jennings cleared to practice Wednesday

Rashad Jennings (concussion) is practicing Wednesday.

Jennings suffered a concussion on Oakland's final drive of Thanksgiving, but has already been cleared to practice. Barring a setback, he's now on track to play in Week 14. Jennings is averaging 86 rushing yards and has three touchdowns over his last three games, but will be just a low-end RB2 for Sunday's matchup against the Jets' league-best run defense.

Campbell, Weeden not cleared to practice yet

Jason Campbell (concussion) and Brandon Weeden (concussion) have still not been cleared to practice.

Campbell and Weeden have been cleared for exercise, but not practice. It leaves Alex Tanney and Caleb Hanie to take the first-team reps at Wednesday's session. Even owners desperate for a quarterback in the deepest of leagues can simply ignore the situation, but owners of Josh Gordon and Jordan Cameron need to be monitoring. A tough spot (at New Engalnd) would become even tougher if Tanney or Hanie end up starting.

NFL fines Tomlin $100k for sideline incident

The NFL has fined Steelers coach Mike Tomlin $100,000 for the sideline incident during the Thanksgiving game against the Ravens.

The league will also consider stripping the Steelers of a draft pick once the order is set and compensatory picks are handed out. In the third quarter last Thursday, Jacoby Jones broke a kickoff return down the sideline near the Steelers bench. He was shockingly slowed down by Tomlin, who was standing too close to the field with his back to the play. He says it was an unintentional mistake. Either way, Tomlin is lucky to have avoided a suspension.

Panthers to get Charles Johnson back Sunday

According to the Charlotte Observer, DE Charles Johnson (knee) will return for Sunday's game against the Saints.

Johnson hasn't played since mildly spraining his MCL in Week 11, wisely getting back near 100 percent in time for this NFC South showdown between the 9-3 Panthers and the 9-3 Saints. It's a big boost to an already dominant Panthers front seven. Johnson leads the team with 8.5 sacks and 34 quarterback hurries on the season.
