Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger had a very short return to the 2015 NFL season, leaving week nine with a sprained foot. We still have to account for what happens during Monday Night Football tonight, but headed into week ten, let's take a look at current injury report tips for players affecting your Fantasy Football teams.

While Roethlisberger was carted off the field on Sunday, fans' worst fears were put aside this morning when his sprained foot diagnosis came in. This means he'll miss only a "couple of weeks," which possibly means a week twelve return after the Steelers' bye week. What does this mean for you Fantasy team? Hopefully you have a good backup QB.
We won't be seeing the return of Patriots' running back Dion Lewis, though. After leaving yesterday's game early and undergoing an MRI, we've learned that the RB has a torn ACL and will miss the rest of the season. In terms of Fantasy impact, Lewis was most likely a waiver wire pickup that performed extremely well for you. He'll be hard to replace, but you might get lucky again with a free agent.
Another RB1, Eddie Lacy left the disappointing Packers loss to the Panthers early with a groin injury. Owners should monitor his progress in practices this week before sitting the stud.
Two major concussions came out of week nine. The Steelers' Latavius Murray left the game early with a possible concussion and was not allowed to return to play. Teddy Bridgewater was on the receiving end of a very dirty hit this week, which ended up looking like one of the scarier moments of the year. Luckily, the young QB walked off the field on his own. Monitor his concussion status this week.
