Sunday morning injury updates

Allison, Miller expected to sit

The Sunday morning injury updates are rolling in, and there are a few useful ones. Most notably from Houston, Green Bay, Detroit and Minnesota, where it seems likely that a number of players will be in the lineup, or sidelined.

  • For Green Bay, Geronimo Allison was sidelined again on Saturday. He hasn't cleared the concussion protocol, and has a hamstring injury to boot. Davante Adams (calf) is expected to be fine as the No. 1, but with Randall Cobb definitely and Allison probably inactive, Marquez Valdes-Scantling has some value as the likely No. 2 in a good matchup at Detroit.

  • Same game, Marvin Jones (ankle) is expected to play. The last time Jones came into a game questionable with an injury was against New England. He played throughout and caught a touchdown, so Jones looks safe to use.

  • For Minnesota, Dalvin Cook is unlikely to play. They're facing a really tough Eagles run defense, so Latavius Murray being more of a full-time back doesn't really make him terribly appealing. Minnesota will need to pass a ton regardless, but it will be without Cook available.

  • The news is more complicated for Houston, which plays the night game against Dallas. Lamar Miller (chest) isn't expected to play, which should make Alfred Blue a full-time running back. Tough matchup, but Sean Lee is out for Dallas, which helps. Will Fuller (hamstring) is expected to be fine for this one. But Keke Coutee (hamstring) is a gametime decision -- do not consider Coutee unless you have another option in the same game or the Monday night contest who you can switch to if Coutee is inactive.

  • Sammy Watkins (hamstring) is expected to play for Kansas City, so my pickup of Chris Conley appears to have been a waste of time.

  • Also expected to play: Matt Breida (shoulder) and Larry Fitzgerald (hamstring) in the Arizona-San Francisco game.
