It's one of the final hurdles Jennings has cleared as he tries to work his way back from a concussion suffered on Thanksgiving. Jennings practiced on a limited basis and traveled with the team last week, but he couldn't pass the league protocol in time and was inactive in Sunday's loss to the New York Jets. Jennings has rushed for 588 yards and four touchdowns on 126 carries this season.
Fantasy impact: If Jennings doesn't have any setbacks, he should be a full participant in practice this week and be ready for Sunday's game against the Kansas City Chiefs. Jennings will be a low-end RB2 in a tough matchup with Kansas City's defense. His return will bump Marcel Reece back to a pure handcuff role. Reece filled in for Jennings last week, recording 123 yards and a touchdown on 19 carries. Darren McFadden is still week-to-week with an ankle injury and can be dropped for the fantasy playoffs.
