Putting 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.

We can tell you Dr. Bowers is optimistic that Chiefs receiver Tyreek Hill will be on the field in Week 9, and has a good medical outlook going forward as he overcomes a groin injury. 

"Barring any setbacks or reduced practice participation later in the week, he should be ready to go on Sunday," Dr. Bowers said. "Provided the severity of this injury is minimal as the Chiefs have led on, this should not become a long-term, lingering problem for Hill."

Dr. Bowers also has a breakdown of Melvin Gordon's hamstring injury, and has updates on other running backs such as Leonard Fournette and Royce Freeman.
