NFL Headlines
 Devin Hester returns to practice, will start
Hester
Devin Hester (ankle) returned to Bears practice on Friday, and beat writer Brad Biggs reports that Hester "will start" Sunday against Arizona.
"I'm 100 percent," Hester said. "I'm ready to go." Hester was held out of practice on both Wednesday and Thursday, but has been expected to play against Arizona all along. The matchup is favorable at home, where the Bears play much better. Chicago is experiencing a flurry of good weather recently, with temperatures in the 60s and little precipitation.

 Report: Simms expected to start for Broncos
Simms
It will take an "overnight medical miracle" for Kyle Orton (ankle) to start Sunday, according to the Denver Post.
The Post fully expects Chris Simms to get the nod, although Orton has not been ruled out. Orton will likely test the ankle in pregame tomorrow, but no one should be waiting on this decision considering the 4:15 ET start time. Simms was wretched in relief of Orton last week, completing just 3-of-13 attempts with an interception. Nov. 22 - 1:56 am et

 Steve Slaton regains starting job for Texans
Slaton
Steve Slaton will start for the Texans against the Titans on Monday night.
We thought that Slaton would have to prove he can hold on to the ball before getting his starting job back, but coach Gary Kubiak is apparently convinced. Slaton's role was due to grow anyway because he's clearly their best back, but this a great sign that he has his coach's confidence. Look for Slaton to still share carries with Chris Brown and Ryan Moats, but we like him as a solid flex play this week. Nov. 21 - 2:05 pm et

 Reggie Bush will not play against Tampa Bay
Bush
Reggie Bush (knee) and Sedrick Ellis (MCL sprain) have been downgraded to "out" and will not travel with the team to Tampa.
The Saints want to avoid a setback with Bush's oft-surgically repaired knee. Against the Bucs, Pierre Thomas will carry the bulk of the load with Mike Bell coming in as a change-of-pace back and perhaps end-game "closer." Look for more receptions from Thomas. Anthony Hargrove will continue to play starter's snaps in Ellis' absence. Nov. 21 - 11:38 am et

 Giants lose MLB Antonio Pierce indefinitely
Pierce
The Giants announced late Friday that MLB Antonio Pierce will be out indefinitely after a bulging disc was discovered in Pierce's neck.
Pierce was "shocked" by the news. He practiced on Friday, but experienced discomfort afterwards and was hospitalized for tests. An MRI revealed the injury, which may threaten Pierce's season. His loss is a blow to a Giants run defense that has underachieved all year. Chase Blackburn will likely take over in the middle, with Michael Boley now healthy at weak-side linebacker.

 Bush to remain Raiders' starter for Week 11
Bush
Coach Tom Cable revealed Friday that Michael Bush will be the Raiders' starting tailback in Week 11 against Cincinnati.
Bush started Week 10 and had 119 yards on 14 carries against the Chiefs, but now faces the Bengals' No. 2 rush defense. This is a situation to avoid in fantasy leagues. Justin Fargas got the goal-line carries last Sunday and Darren McFadden's role figures to grow on a weekly basis as he continues to recover from in-season knee surgery. Bush is only a desperate flex play. Nov. 20 - 6:21 pm et

 Buckhalter returns to full practice, probable
Buckhalter
Correll Buckhalter (probable, knee) returned to Broncos practice in full Friday.
The probable tag means the Broncos consider Buckhalter "virtually certain" to be available for his normal role in the offense. However, he saw just two touches last week to Knowshon Moreno's 20 after a first-quarter fumble and may be being weeded out of the offense. Coach Josh McDaniels has shown signs all year that he wants Moreno to take over the featured back role. Nov. 20 - 5:44 pm et
 Turner doubtful; Jerious Norwood questionable
Turner
Michael Turner (ankle) is listed as doubtful for Week 11 after missing his third straight practice Friday.
Even listing Turner as "doubtful" is generous; coach Mike Smith admits that he has no timetable for return. Turner is in danger of missing several weeks with a high ankle sprain. Jerious Norwood (hip) practiced Friday and is listed as questionable, but is unlikely to be a major threat to Jason Snelling's carries after sitting out for the last month. Snelling will start at the Giants. Nov. 20 - 3:22 pm et
 Reid: Westbrook out at least next three weeks
Westbrook
Coach Andy Reid said Friday that Brian Westbrook (concussions) will miss at least the Eagles' next three games.
And he's not even a safe bet to return after that. Three weeks is the timetable concussion specialists set for Westbrook's next checkup, which may or may not involve medical clearance. LeSean McCoy has better shot at starting for the rest of the season than Westbrook does of returning in Week 14. Nov. 20 - 2:46 pm et

 Report: Haynesworth unlikely to face Cowboys
Haynesworth
ESPN reports that Redskins DT Albert Haynesworth (ankle) is unlikely to play Sunday against the Cowboys.
The loss takes a massive chunk out of Washington's already sagging run defense, which has fallen to 24th in the NFL. Haynesworth (6'6/350) will be replaced by Kedric Golston (6'4/300). Overlook Marion Barber's eight-touch Week 10 and use him against the Skins. Dallas' coaching staff has made it clear this week that they'll refocus on the ground game going forward.
