There was some doubt as to whether or not he would participate in full on Friday, but he made it through at full speed with no setbacks. It’s likely that he was pulled from Thursday’s session as a precautionary measure. The veteran doesn’t need as much practice time as some other players.
Marshall draws Ike Taylor as his cornerback matchup on Sunday, and it should be a good one. He's Jay Cutler's top target and the Bears are undefeated at this point in the season, while the Steelers are reeling and searching for answers.
Fantasy Impact: Fantasy owners shouldn’t worry about the minor back injury, and should have total confidence in Marshall playing. More than that, they should have confidence in Marshall to have a big game. Cutler will be looking to him early and often and he’s had success against Taylor. The back injury is a non-issue, so start him with confidence.
