My name is Jeff Mueller, a Doctor of Physical Therapy, and I am here to help guide you through these weekly injuries and provide (hopefully) helpful insight into how bad the injury is and what the expected timeline for recovery is for your key player. The weekly injury roundup will be posted on Wednesdays to discuss injuries that just occurred. I would also encourage you to tune in to the DLF YouTube channel (make sure to subscribe!) to tune in to helpful content throughout the week.

Injury: Right Lat Strain, Hamstring Strain
Return to Play: Week 7-TBD
Fantasy Impact: Not only does Wilson have a lat strain, but now has a new hamstring strain. He reportedly had an MRI to determine severity, but has been listed as Day-to-Day. It sounds like he will try to play through it. The excuses have been laid down, let’s see how much worse this Denver situation can get.
Injury: Left High Ankle
Return to Play: Week 7-TBD
Fantasy Impact: Jones suffered a severe left high ankle sprain in week three and has been out for an extended period of time. A recent report came out that revealed (or speculated) that the Patriots wanted Mac to have surgery but he refused, and now the relationship is strained. This one will be interesting to watch play out. Bailey Zappe has performed well in his place.
