Fortunately, such an injury is considered minor, with players typically playing through it during the regular season. There was no reason for him to take any risks for the preseason opener, however, especially in a contract year. Cameron has recently returned to team drills in practice and should be ready for Cleveland’s next preseason game against Washington on Monday.
Fantasy Impact: Cameron had a breakout season in 2013, with 80 receptions for 917 yards and seven touchdowns in 15 games. He’s not in the most stable of organizations, and doesn’t know who his quarterback will be in 2014, but he remains one of the better fantasy options at tight end. It’s unlikely he’ll suffer any setbacks with this particular injury, and if all goes well with his preseason debut, then there’s no reason fantasy owners should avoid taking him relatively early on.
