Week 12 of the NFL Fantasy Football Season is gone and if you survived the week without your tight end going down due to an injury, then that is a small victory in itself. Here is an early injury report for next week, including those key injuries at the tight end position.
Early Week 13 Injury Report
Rob Gronkowski, NE TE
What looked like a career ender ended up being a bruised right knee with no tears. This falls into the category of a “minor knee strain”. As of now he is week-to-week until further news from the Patriots. Gronk is likely going to miss one week, but no more than two weeks.
Jimmy Graham, Sea TE
Graham is done for the season after tearing his right patellar tendon. The new tight end of the Seahawks will have a very long road to recovery and will have to work extra hard to come back and be efficient next season.
Tyler Eifert, Cin TE
Eifert suffered a “stinger” late in the third quarter and didn’t return, although it looked bad, the coaching staff said he should be 100% and ready to go against the Browns next week. The second-year touchdown monster had three touchdowns against Cleveland in their last meeting.
Ahmad Bradshaw, Ind RB
Bradshaw is done for the season with a severe wrist injury. Bradshaw hasn’t finished a season for three straight years now. Dan Herron should see an impact from here on out in the Colts backfield.
Chris Johnson, Ari RB
It’s unclear how much time Johnson will miss after fracturing his tibia Sunday, but it doesn’t bode well for Chris Johnson owners. With Andre Ellington battling turf toe, rookie David Johnson will get a majority of the workload in the Cardinals backfield from here on out.
Tony Romo, Dal QB
Romo is done for the season with another hairline fracture in his collarbone. This basically caps off the Cowboys injury-filled season, and they will now have to rely on Matt Cassel to throw the football and hope for next year to be better.
