Hatcher says he'll play Week 10

Cowboys DT Jason Hatcher suffered a stinger in the Week 9 victory over the Vikings, but he said it won't keep him from playing the Saints in Week 10.  Hatcher has been the star of Dallas' D-line this season and a surprise top 10 performer at his position for IDP owners.  Barring reports of injury-related limitations, Hatcher figures to stay in starting range in our Week 10 rankings (which will be out Wednesday).

Washington DE Jason Hatcher is questionable for Sunday's game against the Bucs. He returned for limited practices Thursday and Friday after sitting out Wednesday with a knee injury. Hatcher's not worth waiting for in your IDP league. He has tallied just 5 total tackles an no sacks since a promising Week 1.

Washington DE Jason Hatcher is inactive for today's game against the Giants because of a knee injury he has dealt with for a few weeks.

Washington DE Jason Hatcher is active for today's game against the Rams. He had been questionable with a knee issue but played through it last week. He should be fine to use in a positive matchup with the Rams.

Washington DE Jason Hatcher is active for today's game at Indy. He had been questionable after a knee injury limited his practice time this week. Hatcher carries some upside against a Colts team that allowed 5 sacks to the Jaguars last week, but his low tackle count this season also lowers his IDP floor.

Washington DE Jason Hatcher is expected to miss 4-6 weeks following surgery on his left knee.  A Tuesday MRI revealed the need for a "clean up" scope, according to ESPN's John Keim.  Hatcher had reported pain and swelling apparently caused by a cartilage issue.  The timeline should return him to the field well before the start of the regular season, but Hatcher is learning a new position after moving from Dallas' 4-3 "Tampa 2" scheme to Washington's primarily 3-4 front.  We'll see how he performs upon his return and figure out whether he can help your IDP squad in 2014.
