By Armando Marsal

As usual, I will review some of the injuries that occurred in the weekend and the implications they may have on your fantasy teams. There were some injuries that can be impactful as the fantasy playoffs have begun. Let’s take a look at some of the injuries that occurred this week.

Lamar Miller – Texans: Miller left late in Sunday’s game against the Jaguars after suffering an apparent ankle injury. He was seen limping and appeared in pain, but initial reports suggest the he will play in Week 16. He has been playing through injuries throughout the season, so it would not be surprising to see him play in the Texans next game.

Adam Thielen – Vikings: Thielen left Sunday’s game after suffering a neck injury and will be placed in the concussion protocol. No updates regarding the injury were provided post game. This is a situation worth monitoring as he had become one of the more consistent players on this offense. We should know more regarding his status by midweek.

Ladarius Green – Steelers: Green left late in Sunday’s game after taking a big hit and never returned. He has been placed in the concussion protocol and will need to be cleared before being able to get back on the field. Prior to exiting the game, he had caught five passes for 72 yards.
