Arizona Cardinals running back Andre Ellington is still a major question mark for Monday night's game against the San Diego Chargers. Local radio personality MIke Jurecki says that the Cardinals are working out Ellington hours before kickoff, with a "heavy tape job" on his left foot. His final status likely won't be determined until just before kickoff.
Cardinals working out Andre Ellington before kickoff, fantasy owners continue to wait
Andre Ellington is in a last-minute scramble to get cleared in time for Monday night’s game. We break down the fantasy implications.
Ellington suffered a foot injury in practice last week and was listed as questionable for the game. Initial reports suggested that he could miss four to six weeks, but he managed to get a limited practice in on Saturday. He remains a game-time decision.
Fantasy Week 1
Fantasy impact: The Chargers and Cardinals play the last game of Week 1, not kicking off until 10:20 p.m. ET. If you still have Ellington in your lineup, it's gut check time, and you hopefully picked up Jonathan Dwyer by now. Even if he's active, Ellington will probably be on a heavy snap limit and isn't an appealing RB2 play at far less than 100 percent.
