Hernandez sat out Thursday’s practice after being limited Wednesday, suggesting that he suffered a setback in his ankle sprain. He has missed four games this season with the injury.
Fantasy Impact: Time to pull him from your fantasy lineups quickly. The Pats have a bye in Week 9, so they’re likely taking it easy with Hernandez and giving him a couple more weeks to get back to 100%.
This is bad news for Hernandez owners, but great news for Rob Gronkowski owners, as he should see even more targets his way.
