Fantasy Football: Week 10 NFL injury report features updates on Jacoby Brissett, James Conner

Rostering a player in your Fantasy lineup dealing with an injury always comes with some risk, so don't make the final call until you see what SportsLine NFL injury analyst Dr. Brandon Bowers has to say.

Dr. Bowers, a Doctor of Physical Therapy currently practicing in the outpatient orthopedic setting on northeast side of Columbus, Ohio, completed his undergraduate work at Siena Heights University. He earned his doctorate in physical therapy from the University of Toledo.

He is currently employed by Athletico Physical Therapy and treats a high volume of high school and collegiate athletes in the clinical setting. He's worked previously for a host of different websites serving as an injury analyst, publishing weekly columns, appearing on podcasts and radio shows to provide injury content.

He's broken down some of the most notable injuries heading into Week 10 and here's what he had to say about Jacoby Brissett's (knee) outlook.

"Brissett underwent an MRI which confirmed the diagnosis of a left knee MCL sprain -- his status for Week 10 against the Dolphins remains uncertain," Dr. Bowers said. "On Wednesday he participated in practice on a limited basis. If he is dealing with a Grade 1 sprain the return to play timetable is typically 2-4 weeks, but there is still an opportunity he plays this weekend. Re-injury risk the rest of the season is low to moderate."

Dr. Bowers is also breaking down what challenges Patrick Mahomes (knee) faces as he tries to return to the field, and has an in-depth look at James Conner's shoulder injury. You ABSOLUTELY need to see his breakdowns before making any Fantasy decisions.
