Philadelphia Eagles running back Ryan Mathews remains in the NFL's concussion protocol, according to Tim McManus of 97.5 The Fanatic.
Ryan Mathews not yet cleared from concussion, fantasy status for Week 11 unclear
The three-headed committee in the Eagles backfield could become two during Week 11. We break down the fantasy implications.


Mathews was bounced from action in the third quarter of Sunday's 20-19 loss to the Miami Dolphins due to his concussion and did not return. The Eagles also opted to hold him out of action on Tuesday during an informal practice session, and Mathews can be considered truly questionable for Week 11's bout with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Fantasy impact: If Mathews is unable to go, expect DeMarco Murray to garner tons of usage on Sunday against a Buccaneers defense that has quietly played well against the run. Darren Sproles will soak up much of Mathews' passing down duties and play a bigger role as well.
For now, fantasy owners will have to remain glued to practice reports to see if Mathews takes the field at any capacity this week. Even if he is cleared to play, Mathews makes for an uninspiring flex option.
