Fantasy Football: Week 16 NFL injury report features updates on Dalvin Cook, Chris Godwin
Dr. Brandon Bowers breaks down some of the biggest NFL injuries heading into Week 16.
Starting 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 16 and here's what he had to say about Chris Godwin's (hamstring) outlook.
"Rehabilitation emphasizes reduction of pain, restoration of strength and range of motion and finally return to sport tasking," Dr. Bowers said. "Godwin was held out of practice on both Tuesday and Wednesday, which is not good news for his availability for Saturday against the Texans. Godwin will need to practice at some point before Saturday or he will likely be held out of Week 16. Re-injury risk the rest of the season is moderate to high with no long-term concerns heading into 2020."
Dr. Bowers is also breaking down what challenges Dalvin Cook (shoulder) faces as he tries to play, and has an in-depth look at Dak Prescott's shoulder injury. You ABSOLUTELY need to see his breakdowns before making any Fantasy decisions.
