Week 13 was full of key lineman injuries along with concussions to skill players that may effect playing status going into Week 14. The results of Aaron Rodgers shoulder scan along with the potential return of Jay Cutler in Week 14 could mean changes in fantasy lineups.
Congratulations and good luck to all fantasy owners in the playoffs. I hope that this report helped owners make decisions in the waiver process and also in lineup submission over the course of the season. The updates will continue throughout the fantasy football season.
Another Week shows us why injuries are the rule and durability is the exception to the rule in football. In the Training Table, I will be providing you with recent news and notes as it pertains to injuries all season here at PFF Fantasy.
Arizona Cardinals
Andre Ellington — Running Back
Injury Date: November 27, 2013 — Knee Injury
Fantasy Prognosis: Ellington was a scratch for Week 13. Head Coach Bruce Arians did not want to push Ellington too hard. It appears that Ellington's knee injury is not severe. He is listed as questionable for Week 14 when the Cardinals play St. Louis.
Atlanta Falcons

Fantasy Prognosis: Patterson was able to practice on a limited basis on Tuesday. He has four interceptions in five games, but has spent much of the season out with a groin injury. He is questionable for the Dolphins Week 14 game against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Fantasy Prognosis: Thomas has a torn ligament in his ankle and will spend much of the regular season out while he rehabilitates. He may be back in time for the season finale, but if the Dolphins are out of contention I do not expect him to play.
If you have questions feel free to hit me up on Twitter @Brian_Bulmer. My fantasy prognosis is based on my 14 years as a sports medicine professional in athletic training covering arena football (Indianapolis Firebirds), college football (Indiana University), and high school football. I have dedicated much of my life to helping motivated athletes return from injury.
