Jared Goff injury update: What happened to Lions QB?

Jared Goff did not practice with his teammates on Wednesday. However, he expects to return for Thursday's session. Although Goff is questionable to face the Packers, fantasy managers shouldn't be overly concerned about his status for Week 9. Reports suggest he should be fine for the weekend game, but it's advisable to wait for official confirmation before adding him to your roster.

Goff rolled his ankle during Detroit's dominant 52-17 victory against the Tennessee Titans in Week 8. There's no indication of when exactly he sustained the injury, but reports suggest he played through the pain.

On Tuesday, Goff said that his ankle "felt sore" but insisted that he would be fine to play against the Packers. This is good news for the Lions (6-1), who have enjoyed a fantastic start to the season, thanks in part to the three-time Pro Bowl quarterback's excellence.

In seven games so far, Goff has completed 140 of 189 passes for 1,695 yards, throwing 13 touchdowns and four interceptions. He has tallied 121.3 fantasy points, averaging 17.3 per game.
