Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Driver sprained his right foot in the second quarter Thursday night and was carted to the locker room. Thompson declined to provide further details about the injury and wouldn't commit to saying Driver would be ready in a little more than two weeks. Asked the same question a number of different ways, though, Thompson repeatedly expressed optimism. "We have don't have enough (information) to say that he won't (play Sept. 9)," the GM said. "Fortunately, we think we dodged something here."
