| Name | POS | Status | Date | Injury | Returns | | | | | Michael Lewis | DB | Probable | Nov 20 | quadricep | | | Latest News:
| | | | | | Demetric Evans | DL | Probable | Nov 20 | shoulder | | | Latest News:
| | | | | | Justin Smith | DL | Probable | Nov 20 | back | | | Latest News:
| | | | | | Mark Roman | DB | Probable | Nov 20 | knee | | | Latest News:
| | | | | | Takeo Spikes | LB | Questionable | Nov 20 | hamstring | | | Latest News:
| | | | | | Glen Coffee | RB | Probable | Nov 20 | concussion | | | Latest News:
| | | | | | Michael Crabtree | WR | Probable | Nov 20 | knee | | | Latest News:
| | | | | | Michael Robinson | RB | Probable | Nov 20 | not injury related | | | Latest News:
| | | | | | Adam Snyder | T | Probable | Nov 20 | shoulder | | | Latest News:
| | | | | | Isaac Bruce | WR | Probable | Nov 20 | ankle, elbow | | | Latest News:
| | | | | | Nate Clements | DB | Out | Nov 1 | shoulder | | | Latest News:
The 49ers are hoping to get DB Nate Clements (shoulder) back for Week 16. Clements would give the Niners some nice depth, but he was already benched in favor of Tarrell Brown before getting injured. He'll come back this season as a corner, but could be asked to transition to safety and take a pay cut during the offseason. | | | | | | Joe Staley | T | Out | Nov 1 | knee | Return Week 14? | | Latest News:
49ers LT Joe Staley (knee) is targeting Week 14 for his return. Staley is the Niners' most valuable offensive lineman, so the sooner he returns the better for all parties involved. Week 14 would be six weeks after he sprained his PCL and MCL against the Colts. | | | | | | Tony Pashos | T | I.R. | Oct 27 | shoulder | Out for season | | Latest News:
49ers placed RT Tony Pashos (fractured scapula) on injured reserve, ending his season. Pashos is no great shakes at this point in his career, but he was an improvement on Adam Snyder and Barry Sims. Snyder is expected to move back to right tackle for the remainder of the season. Pashos is due to hit free agency after the season, and his starting days are numbered. | | | | | | Nate Davis | QB | Out | Oct 25 | illness | | | Latest News:
| | | | | | Jeff Ulbrich | LB | I.R. | Oct 19 | concussion | Out for season | | Latest News:
49ers placed ILB Jeff Ulbrich on injured reserve with a concussion, ending his season. Ulbrich, who doesn't have a contract for 2010 and will be 33 next season, is considering retirement. He was mostly playing special teams this year. | | | | | | Thomas Clayton | RB | I.R. | Sep 10 | knee surgery | Out for season | | Latest News:
49ers placed RB Thomas Clayton (ACL surgery) on injured reserve, ending his season. This was expected as the team waived/injured Clayton on Monday. He passed through waivers unclaimed. Clayton tore his ACL in the first week of the preseason, and his career is in serious jeopardy. | | | | | | Walt Harris | DB | I.R. | Sep 10 | knee surgery | Out for season | | Latest News:
49ers placed CB Walt Harris (torn ACL) on injured reserve, ending his season. It's unclear when he'll have surgery. Harris is in the last year of his contract and will be 35 when he hits 2010 free agency. His career may be over. | |
| Name | POS | Status | Date | Injury | Returns | | | | | Kevin Payne | DB | Doubtful | Nov 20 | back | | | Latest News:
| | | | | | Garrett Wolfe | RB | I.R. | Nov 20 | back | Out for season | | Latest News:
Bears placed RB Garrett Wolfe on injured reserve with a lacerated kidney, ending his season. Wolfe has always been impressive against third-stringers in the preseason, but isn't explosive enough to turn the corner consistently against starting defenders, struggles in blitz protection, and packs no power at 5'7/186. If Wolfe returns to Chicago in 2010, it'll be only because he can cover kicks. | | | | | | Desmond Clark | TE | Doubtful | Nov 19 | neck | | | Latest News:
Bears TE Desmond Clark missed Thursday's practice with a neck injury. Clark suffered the injury in last week's game against the 49ers. Kellen Davis will play in two-tight ends sets if Clark can't go this week. | | | | | | Orlando Pace | T | Out | Nov 13 | concussion | Return Week 11 | | Latest News:
Bears LT Orlando Pace (concussion) is expected to be ready to play in Week 11 against the Eagles. Pace was concussed in Thursday night's ugly loss and was replaced by Kevin Shaffer. The Pace-to-Shaffer transition wouldn't be a big dropoff, as Pace has been a major disappointment for the Bears this season. | | | | | | Zackary Bowman | DB | Out | Nov 12 | abdomen | Status uncertain | | Latest News:
Bears CB Zackary Bowman is out for the rest of the Thursday's game with an abdominal injury. The Bears went into the game minus two safeties, and they've now lost a starting corner. San Fran has been unable to capitalize through the air with just 75 passing yards half-way into the third quarter. | | | | | | Pisa Tinoisamoa | LB | Out | Oct 25 | knee | | | Latest News:
| | | | | | Trumaine McBride | DB | I.R. | Sep 17 | knee | Out for season | | Latest News:
Bears waived/injured DB Trumaine McBride. The special teamer injured his knee during Sunday night's opener against the Packers. The Bears are trying to work out an injury settlement as he's likely out for at least 4-6 weeks. | | | | | | Brian Urlacher | LB | I.R. | Sep 14 | wrist | Out for season | | Latest News:
Bears placed MLB Brian Urlacher (wrist surgery) on injured reserve, ending his season. The bad news is that Chicago's 2009 defense takes a major hit, and Urlacher will be 32 the next time he steps onto the field. The good news is his injury wasn't to his legs, and Urlacher won't necessarily lose any range or explosiveness. His salary is $6.8 million next year, but he'll return as a starter. Urlacher was very active in Week 1 before his unlucky season-ending injury. | | | | | | Henry Melton | DL | I.R. | Sep 10 | ankle | Out for season | | Latest News:
Bears placed DE Henry Melton (ankle) on injured reserve, ending his season. It was fun to see the former Texas running back return kickoffs in the preseason, but he was a big project and wasn't going to help in year one. | | | | | | Kevin Jones | RB | I.R. | Sep 10 | ankle | Out for season | | Latest News:
Bears placed RB Kevin Jones on injured reserve with ligament damage in his ankle, ending his season. The Bears are desperate for running back help behind Matt Forte. Jones is still just 27 and should be given a chance to regain his backup job next summer with only a $1.15 million salary, depending on who Chicago brings in. Neither Garrett Wolfe not Adrian Peterson is an option to carry the load. | | | | | | Dusty Dvoracek | DL | I.R. | Sep 10 | knee surgery | Out for season | | Latest News:
Bears waived/injured DT Dusty Dvoracek (torn ACL). Chicago is likely ready to give up on Dvoracek after four trips to the I.R. in four seasons. He probably won't get a restricted free agent tender next spring. | | | | | | Tyler Reed | G | I.R. | Sep 10 | knee surgery | Out for season | | Latest News:
Bears waived/injured OG Tyler Reed. Reed, a 2006 sixth-round pick, has never played a regular season game. The 27-year-old's season is already over following August knee surgery. | | | | | | Fontel Mines | TE | I.R. | Sep 10 | knee surgery | Out for season | | Latest News:
Bears TE Fontel Mines tore his ACL in training camp Monday. He'll be placed on injured reserve, ending his season. Chicago has been trying to convert Mines from a college wideout into an NFL tight end for two years. This is a big setback to any progress he's made. | |
| Name | POS | Status | Date | Injury | Returns | | | | | Chris Crocker | DB | Questionable | Nov 20 | calf | | | Latest News:
| | | | | | Morgan Trent | DB | Questionable | Nov 20 | knee | | | Latest News:
| | | | | | Johnathan Joseph | DB | Questionable | Nov 20 | foot | | | Latest News:
| | | | | | Evan Mathis | G | Doubtful | Nov 20 | ankle | | | Latest News:
| | | | | | Jeremi Johnson | RB | Probable | Nov 20 | chest | | | Latest News:
| | | | | | Keith Rivers | LB | Doubtful | Nov 20 | calf | Week to week | | Latest News:
Bengals WLB Keith Rivers (calf) is not expected to play in Week 11. Rivers was unable to practice all week, so his status for Week 12 is also up in the air. Brandon Johnson will start on the weak side at the Raiders. The Bengals' No. 2 overall run defense has not fallen off with Rivers out. They held Rashard Mendenhall to 36 rushing yards on 13 carries last Sunday. | | | | | | Laveranues Coles | WR | Probable | Nov 19 | head | Likely will play | | Latest News:
Laveranues Coles (head, probable) practiced in full Friday. Coles will face the Raiders, but isn't a recommended fantasy play. | | | | | | Cedric Benson | RB | Doubtful | Nov 19 | hip | Will not play | | Latest News:
Cedric Benson (hip) is officially listed as doubtful for Week 11. Benson missed his third straight practice Friday and will be among the Bengals' inactives at Oakland. Rookie Bernard Scott will draw the start. | | | | | | Roy Williams | DB | I.R. | Nov 13 | arm | Out for season | | Latest News:
Bengals placed SS Roy Williams on injured reserve with a re-fractured forearm, ending his season. Chinedum Ndukwe will close out the year as Cincinnati's starting strong safety, and Hard Knocks hero Tom Nelson will be active on game days. Williams' forearm injuries have become chronic, costing the once-feared safety nearly all of 2008 and 2009. Williams was on a one-year contract with the Bengals. The club will likely look for a long-term upgrade this offseason. | | | | | | Chris Henry | WR | I.R. | Nov 9 | arm | Out for season | | Latest News:
Bengals placed WR Chris Henry on injured reserve with two broken bones in his left forearm, ending his season. He had surgery Monday, and his recovery is expected to last 10 weeks. Henry, acting as a situational deep threat, had over two catches in just one game all year, so his loss won't significantly upgrade any of the Bengals' other receivers in terms of fantasy value. Henry was in the last year of his contract and is slated for free agency in 2010. He has turned his career around of late and could draw substantial interest as a potential starter. Tightly hang onto the 26-year-old in dynasty leagues. | | | | | | Antwan Odom | DL | I.R. | Oct 19 | achilles | Out for season | | Latest News:
Bengals placed RE Antwan Odom on injured reserve with a ruptured Achilles' tendon, ending his season. Odom, who had surgery Monday, finishes with eight sacks, 19 tackles, and two pass breakups in six games. Injury prone his entire career, Odom will be 29 at the start of next season but is sure to return at his $3.4M salary. How he rehabs from the devastating injury will determine his role. | | | | | | Matt Sherry | TE | I.R. | Sep 10 | - | Out for season | | Latest News:
Bengals waived/injured TE Matt Sherry. The Bengals can't keep their tight ends healthy. Rookie Chase Coffman will be joined by blockers Daniel Coats and J.P. Foschi. Coffman's long-term outlook is good, but this isn't a unit that will have fantasy value in 2009. | | | | | | Dan Santucci | G | I.R. | Sep 10 | foot | Out for season | | Latest News:
Bengals waived/injured C/G Dan Santucci. Santucci, a 2007 draft pick, will spend his second straight season on injured reserve. Last year it was a high ankle sprain; this year it's a bum foot. | | | | | | Reggie Kelly | TE | I.R. | Sep 10 | achilles | Out for season | | Latest News:
Bengals TE Reggie Kelly underwent surgery for a ruptured Achilles' tendon Tuesday and was placed on injured reserve, ending his season. At least Cincy can get Kelly back for cheap next offseason, assuming he's healthy and still wanted. The 32-year-old is slated for 2010 free agency. Kelly was more valuable to the Bengals than he would've been to most teams. | |
| Name | POS | Status | Date | Injury | Returns | | | | | Terrence McGee | DB | Questionable | Nov 20 | knee | | | Latest News:
| | | | | | Jairus Byrd | DB | Questionable | Nov 20 | groin | | | Latest News:
| | | | | | James Hardy | WR | Questionable | Nov 20 | groin | | | Latest News:
| | | | | | Kyle Williams | DL | Questionable | Nov 20 | knee | | | Latest News:
| | | | | | Keith Ellison | LB | I.R. | Nov 20 | quadriceps | Out for season | | Latest News:
Bills placed OLB Keith Ellison (quadriceps) on injured reserve, ending his season. Ellison presumably tore his quads when he went down early this month. 26 in February, Ellison is eligible for free agency in the offseason. He was averaging an outstanding 8.5 tackles per game before the injury, but would be a backup/nickel linebacker on a good team. Ellison doesn't play the run well. | | | | | | Marcus Stroud | DL | Out | Nov 20 | knee | | | Latest News:
Bills DT Marcus Stroud (knee) has been ruled out for Week 11. As if Maurice Jones-Drew's matchup against the No. 32 run defense could get any better. Stroud, Buffalo's nose tackle, leads Bills defensive linemen in tackles with 40, and they may also be minus "three technique" Kyle Williams again due to a knee sprain. Williams is questionable on the injury report. | | | | | | Derek Fine | TE | I.R. | Nov 18 | knee | Out for season | | Latest News:
Bills placed TE Derek Fine (knee) on injured reserve, ending his season. The extent of Fine's knee injury hasn't been revealed. An H-back type tight end, Fine finishes his second season with nine catches for 64 yards and no scores in eight appearances. He has a future in the league as a backup. | | | | | | Ashton Youboty | DB | Out | Nov 16 | ankle | Status uncertain | | Latest News:
Bills reserve CB Ashton Youboty is out indefinitely after spraining his left ankle on Sunday. Rookie Ellis Lankster will see more action. With Terrence McGee (knee) close to returning, Youboty's absence won't be a major concern. | | | | | | Demetrius Bell | T | Out | Nov 15 | knee | Week to week | | Latest News:
Bills LT Demetrius Bell will have arthroscopic surgery on his knee, but is only expected to miss 2-3 weeks. The Bills originally feared that the injury could be season ending, so this qualifies as good news. Bell has started eight this year as the Bills' best offensive tackle. Expect the struggling Kirk Chambers to fill in. | | | | | | Jonathan Scott | T | Out | Nov 14 | ankle | | | Latest News:
Bills starting RT Jonathan Scott is out for Sunday's game against the Titans for personal reasons. It's unclear what is going on with Scott, but he's leaving the Bills very short handed. Kirk Chambers and rookie Jamon Meredith are the Bills only other options at tackle, and Meredith is a game-time decision due to a knee injury. | | | | | | Marcus Buggs | LB | I.R. | Oct 13 | knee surgery | Out for season | | Latest News:
Bills placed LB Marcus Buggs (knee) on injured reserve, ending his season. Too small for middle linebacker at 5'11/225, Buggs was overwhelmed as Paul Posluszny's replacement earlier this season. He's an exclusive rights free agent in the offseason, so the Bills can bring him back for cheap. | | | | | | Kawika Mitchell | LB | I.R. | Oct 13 | knee surgery | Out for season | | Latest News:
Bills placed LB Kawika Mitchell (knee) on injured reserve, ending his season. The Bills haven't released details on the injury to Mitchell's right knee, but we're guessing it's a torn ACL. Mitchell is signed through 2012, and Buffalo has zero quality depth behind him. | | | | | | Leodis McKelvin | DB | I.R. | Oct 1 | leg | Out for season | | Latest News:
Bills placed CB/KR Leodis McKelvin (leg) on injured reserve, ending his season. The Bills will turn to burnable veteran Drayton Florence after McKelvin fractured a bone in his lower leg/ankle are in Week 3. While his brief 2009 season will remembered for a Week 1 fumble against the Pats, last year's first-rounder has a bright future as both a corner and a returner. | | | | | | Derek Schouman | TE | I.R. | Sep 22 | knee | Out for the season | | Latest News:
Bills placed TE Derek Schouman on injured reserve with a knee injury. Schouman expressed initial optimism on Monday, but the MRI must have shown a torn ligament. The Bills' starter was on his way to a career game when he had his leg bent underneath his body in Week 2. Rookie Shawn Nelson will see a much larger role with Schouman out and Derek Fine battling a hamstring injury. | | | | | | Brad Butler | T | I.R. | Sep 20 | knee | Out for season | | Latest News:
Bills placed RT Brad Butler (knee) on injured reserve, ending his season. Butler was the team's most physical run blocker after the losses of Langston Walker and Derrick Dockery. Buffalo will turn to one of journeymen Jonathan Scott and Kirk Chambers the rest of the way. With a finesse line now that projects better for pass protection than power runs, the Bills may lean on Fred Jackson's versatility in the backfield even when Marshawn Lynch returns. | | | | | | Marcus Smith | DL | I.R. | Sep 10 | - | Out for season | | Latest News:
Bills placed DL Marcus Smith (undisclosed) and CB Lydell Sargeant (knee) on injured reserve, ending their seasons. Both were waived/injured earlier this week and cleared waivers. | | | | | | Jermaine McGhee | DL | I.R. | Sep 10 | leg | Out for season | | Latest News:
Bills waived/injured DE Jermaine McGhee. He'll need reconstructive surgery for a torn MCL and ACL suffered in the Hall of Fame Game. McGhee was already a long shot from Prairie View A&M. | | | | | | Marvin Philip | C | I.R. | Sep 10 | - | Out for season | | Latest News:
Bills waived/injured C Marvin Philip. He's bounced around since Pittsburgh drafted him in the '06 sixth round. | | | | | | P.K. Sam | WR | I.R. | Sep 10 | hamstring | Out for season | | Latest News:
Bills placed WR P.K. Sam on season-ending injured reserve. Sam cleared waivers on Wednesday after straining his quad early in training camp. The Bills, who began camp early, already have three players on injured reserve. | | | | | | Justise Hairston | RB | I.R. | Sep 10 | knee | Out for season | | Latest News:
Bills placed RB Justise Hairston (knee) on injured reserve, ending season. Hairston cleared waivers after suffering a season-ending knee injury on the first day of training camp practice. | | | | | | John DiGiorgio | LB | I.R. | Sep 10 | knee surgery | Out for season | | Latest News:
The Associated Press reveals that Bills LB John DiGiorgio recently underwent microfracture surgery on his right knee. DiGiorgio was among the NFL's tackle leaders as recently as 2007, but his future in the league looks dim after multiple operations on the same knee. He already lacked ideal speed. The Bills did give him a two-year deal in February and he'll clear waivers, so DiGiorgio will return to the roster in 2010. | |
| Name | POS | Status | Date | Injury | Returns | | | | | Josh Barrett | DB | Questionable | Nov 20 | hamstring | | | Latest News:
| | | | | | Brandon Lloyd | WR | Probable | Nov 20 | foot | | | Latest News:
| | | | | | Correll Buckhalter | RB | Probable | Nov 20 | knee | Likely will play | | Latest News:
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. | | | | | | Kyle Orton | QB | Questionable | Nov 15 | ankle | Likely will play | | Latest News:
Kyle Orton (ankle) was held out of practice for a third straight day Friday and is listed as questionable for Week 11. While missing practice all week is a bad sign, coach Josh McDaniels said that Orton "absolutely" still has a chance to start against San Diego. Orton will be worked out in pre-game warmups before his status for the game is determined. The Broncos and Chargers don't play until 4:15ET, so Orton is an obvious "sit" in standard leagues. Chris Simms will start if Orton can't. | | | | | | Brandon Marshall | WR | Probable | Nov 11 | neck | Will play | | Latest News:
Brandon Marshall (neck, probable) practiced in full again Friday. Marshall won't miss Week 11, but using him in fantasy leagues is a high-risk, if high-upside move. He'll either be playing with a QB that is hurt (Kyle Orton) or one that looked totally inept in the second half of Week 10 (Chris Simms). We'd take Marshall's upside and use him against San Diego. | | | | | | Ryan Harris | T | Out | Nov 2 | toe | Return Week 12? | | Latest News:
Broncos RT Ryan Harris is expected to miss three weeks because of two dislocated toes on his right foot. Harris hurt the toes during the Week 8 loss to the Ravens. Tyler Polumbus, a former undrafted free agent, will make his first NFL start against Steelers LOLB LaMarr Woodley on Monday Night Football. It's quite a mismatch. | | | | | | Renaldo Hill | DB | Out | Nov 1 | leg | Status uncertain | | Latest News:
Broncos S Renaldo Hill left Sunday's game with a right leg injury. Hill was able to limp off under his own power, but he may be done for the day. Darcel McBath has come on to replace him. | | | | | | LaMont Jordan | RB | Out | Oct 15 | - | Likely will play | | Latest News:
Broncos declared RB LaMont Jordan, QB Tom Brandstater, WR Brandon Lloyd, OLB Jarvis Moss, WR Kenny McKinley, OT Brandon Gorin, DL Chris Baker, and OG Seth Olsen inactive for Week 8. The Broncos are healthy coming out of their Week 7 bye. Knowshon Moreno and Correll Buckhalter will handle backfield duties with Jordan inactive this week. | | | | | | J'Vonne Parker | DL | I.R. | Sep 10 | knee | Out for season | | Latest News:
Broncos placed DL J'Vonne Parker on injured reserve, ending his season. Parker spent time on the practice squad for the Ravens, Falcons and Panthers last season. He had been working with the second-team defense, but he hurt his knee in Thursday's practice. | | | | | | Nick Greisen | LB | I.R. | Sep 10 | knee | Out for season | | Latest News:
Broncos placed LB Nick Greisen (knee) on injured reserve, ending his season. Greisen, 30, was carted off the field early in training camp. Depending on the severity of the injury, he may be released with a settlement later on. | |
| Name | POS | Status | Date | Injury | Returns | | | | | Robert Royal | TE | Probable | Nov 20 | finger, wrist | | | Latest News:
| | | | | | Kenyon Coleman | DL | Probable | Nov 20 | groin | | | Latest News:
| | | | | | Shaun Rogers | DL | Probable | Nov 20 | back | | | Latest News:
| | | | | | John St. Clair | T | Probable | Nov 20 | shoulder | | | Latest News:
| | | | | | David Bowens | LB | Probable | Nov 20 | knee | | | Latest News:
| | | | | | Alex Mack | C | Probable | Nov 20 | wrist | | | Latest News:
| | | | | | Chansi Stuckey | WR | Probable | Nov 20 | calf | | | Latest News:
| | | | | | Lawrence Vickers | RB | Questionable | Nov 20 | shoulder | | | Latest News:
| | | | | | Rex Hadnot | C | Questionable | Nov 20 | knee | | | Latest News:
| | | | | | Jamal Lewis | RB | Questionable | Nov 20 | ankle | Likely will play | | Latest News:
Jamal Lewis (questionable, ankle) was limited in Friday's practice. Lewis will play against Detroit, but isn't even a good flex play because of his decreasing role in an awful Cleveland offense and declining ability. | | | | | | Joshua Cribbs | WR | Questionable | Nov 19 | neck | | | Latest News:
Browns coach Eric Mangini said Friday that he expects Joshua Cribbs (neck, questionable) to play in Week 11. According to the coach once known as "Mangenius," all of Cribbs' tests came back negative. Cribbs has 22 touches in his last four games, seeing most of his work in the Wildcat. He also 1,236 all-purpose return yards on the year. | | | | | | Dave Zastudil | P | I.R. | Nov 18 | groin | Out for season | | Latest News:
Browns placed P Dave Zastudil (groin) on injured reserve, ending his season. The Cleveland native and former Ohio Bobcat will give way to Reggie Hodges for the remainder of the season. A new front office will decide in the offseason whether the 31-year-old punter is worth his $1.415M salary for 2010. | | | | | | Steve Heiden | TE | I.R. | Nov 18 | ankle | Out for season | | Latest News:
Browns placed TE Steve Heiden (ankle) on injured reserve, ending his season. He finishes with 10 receptions for 73 yards and one touchdown in seven games. Heiden has been a Brown since 2002, but his career with the team will probably end in the offseason. The 33-year-old is due a $900,000 base salary in 2010 and has finished back-to-back seasons on injured reserve. | | | | | | Eric Barton | LB | I.R. | Nov 10 | neck | Out for season | | Latest News:
Browns placed ILB Eric Barton on season-ending injured reserve with a bulging disc in his neck. The move was expected after Barton was diagnosed with the injury after the Browns' Week 8 game. With leading tackler D'Qwell Jackson already lost for the season, Cleveland will be even softer on run defense. Barton's career isn't known to be in jeopardy. Barton turns 33 at the start of next season and is due $2.3M in 2010 salary, so his future as a Brown is uncertain. | | | | | | D'Qwell Jackson | LB | I.R. | Oct 20 | pectorals | Out for season | | Latest News:
Browns placed ILB D'Qwell Jackson on injured reserve with a torn pectorals muscle, ending his season. It's a devastating blow to a Browns team already 30th in run defense. Jackson was third in the league in tackles while playing through a hamstring injury the past few weeks. Rookie Kaluka Maiava took over in the second half Sunday, though second-round pick David Veikune may work into the mix. In the final year of his rookie deal, Jackson is scheduled for free agency in the offseason. | | | | | | James Davis | RB | I.R. | Oct 3 | shoulder | Out for season | | Latest News:
The NFL has determined that Browns RB James Davis' season-ending shoulder injury occurred in a "controlled environment," meaning the club is not subject to league discipline. The Browns "did not violate any league policies," ESPN's Adam Schefter has confirmed. Davis recently had surgery to repair a torn labrum he sustained while standing around during practice without pads. He'll be back in 2010. | | | | | | Ryan Tucker | T | I.R. | Sep 10 | knee surgery | Out for season | | Latest News:
Browns placed OL Ryan Tucker (knee surgery) on injured reserve. It was reported Monday that that Browns had released Tucker, but that isn't the case. Eric Mangini even said he would "be open" to having Tucker back "if things work out that way." They'd need an injury settlement and have to wait several weeks for a reunion. Tucker, 34, would also have to be healthy. | | | | | | Syndric Steptoe | WR | I.R. | Sep 10 | shoulder | Out for season | | Latest News:
Browns waived/injured WR Syndric Stepoe. Steptoe, 24, is out for the year after having surgery to repair a torn labrum in his shoulder. He might come back to Cleveland as a camp body in 2010. | | | | | | Donte' Stallworth | WR | Suspended | Sep 10 | - | Return 2010? | | Latest News:
The Browns won't release suspended wide receiver Donte' Stallworth because the cap hit would be too costly. They'd take a $7.6 million hit. Commissioner Roger Goodell's one-year suspension of Stallworth actually did the Browns a favor, as they're no longer on the hook for his $745,000 base salary. Still, he could easily be cut once his suspension is up. Stallworth's salary jumps to $1.5 million in 2010. | |
| Name | POS | Status | Date | Injury | Returns | | | | | Byron Leftwich | QB | Probable | Nov 20 | right elbow | | | Latest News:
| | | | | | Elbert Mack | DB | Questionable | Nov 20 | ankle | | | Latest News:
| | | | | | Aqib Talib | DB | Probable | Nov 20 | hamstring | | | Latest News:
| | | | | | Torrie Cox | DB | Probable | Nov 20 | not injury related | | | Latest News:
| | | | | | Antonio Bryant | WR | Probable | Nov 20 | knee | Likely will play | | Latest News:
Antonio Bryant (knee) has been upgraded to probable for Week 11, but will play in a rotation with Maurice Stovall on Sunday. Bryant practiced without limits again on Friday, but Stovall has played well in his absence. While Bryant will help Josh Freeman's cause by adding speed to the field, he's not a fantasy option on his own, even in deep leagues. | | | | | | Maurice Evans | DL | I.R. | Nov 20 | - | Out for season | | Latest News:
Bucs placed DE Maurice Evans on injured reserve, ending his season. It's unclear what type of injury Evans sustained. He's been on and off the Bucs roster this season since signing as an undrafted free agent. | | | | | | Kellen Winslow | TE | Probable | Nov 18 | knee | Will play | | Latest News:
Kellen Winslow (probable, knee) fully participated in Friday's practice. Winslow is all systems go for a Week 11 matchup that could turn into a pass-heavy affair against New Orleans. He's a high-quality TE1 play this week. | | | | | | Carnell Williams | RB | Probable | Nov 18 | knee | Will play | | Latest News:
Cadillac Williams (probable, knee) practiced in full again Friday. Cadillac's fantasy upside is severely limited by his rotation with Derrick Ward, but he's worth flex consideration in non-PPR leagues against a Saints run defense giving up nearly 6.0 yards per carry in their last three games. | | | | | | Greg White | DL | Out | Nov 15 | shoulder | | | Latest News:
Bucs RE Stylez G. White (shoulder) said he expects to practice this week and play against the Saints in Week 11. The Bucs missed White against the Dolphins as they picked up zero sacks in the Week 10 loss. White had stepped nicely in for Gaines Adams, who was traded to the Bears earlier this season. | | | | | | Will Allen | DB | I.R. | Nov 11 | thumb | Out for season | | Latest News:
Bucs placed S Will Allen (thumb) on injured reserve, ending his season. Allen played safety while Tanard Jackson was suspended this season, but he is primarily a special teamer. He'll be a free agent after the season and finishes the year with 20 tackles. Corey Lynch is expected to fill Allen's role. | | | | | | Rodriques Wilson | LB | I.R. | Nov 10 | - | Out for season | | Latest News:
Bucs placed LB Rod Wilson on season-ending injured reserve. The Bucs have not disclosed his injury. Wilson has been limited to special teams duty since signing last December. | | | | | | B.J. Askew | RB | I.R. | Oct 20 | neck | Out for season | | Latest News:
Buccaneers placed FB B.J. Askew (neck, back) on the Non-Football Injury List, ending his season. The starting fullback was injured in a car accident last week. He has four years remaining on a five-year, $7.6 million contract signed last season. Earnest Graham will likely assume lead-blocking duties in his place. | | | | | | Jermaine Phillips | DB | I.R. | Sep 22 | thumb | Out for season | | Latest News:
According to Bucs beat writer Stephen Holder, Jermaine Phillips' NFL career is in trouble. Phillips is out for the season with a "mangled" thumb that needs to be rebuilt. Phillips will be 31 when the 2010 season starts and Holder says it's a question whether the Bucs or any other team would commit to a player that is hurt so often. | | | | | | E.J. Biggers | DB | I.R. | Sep 19 | shoulder | Out for season | | Latest News:
Bucs placed CB E.J. Biggers (shoulder) on injured reserve, ending his season. He was the team's seventh-round pick this season out of Western Michigan. Safety Steve Cargile was signed to take Biggers' place. | | | | | | Donte Nicholson | DB | I.R. | Sep 10 | - | Out for season | | Latest News:
Buccaneers waived/injured S Donte Nicholson. He was trying to stick around as a special teamer. | | | | | | Xavier Fulton | T | I.R. | Sep 10 | shoulder | Out for season | | Latest News:
Buccaneers placed OT Xavier Fulton on injured reserve, ending his season. The injury wasn't disclosed, but Fulton had shoulder problems for much of his senior year at Illinois. He was the Bucs' fifth-round pick in April. | | | | | | Kelly Campbell | WR | I.R. | Sep 10 | - | Out for season | | Latest News:
Bucs waived/injured WR Kelly Campbell. Maybe it's back to the CFL for Campbell if he can get healthy. In addition, the Bucs released DE Jarriett Buie, DB DeAngelo Willingham and G Julius Wilson. | | | | | | Angelo Crowell | LB | I.R. | Sep 10 | biceps | Out for season | | Latest News:
Bucs placed OLB Angelo Crowell on injured reserve with a torn biceps, ending his season. Crowell's career was at crossroads heading into the year after missing 2008 due to surgery to correct a chronic knee-cap condition. He was on a one-year deal with the Bucs and will have trouble finding a new home in 2010. | | | | | | Joel Filani | WR | I.R. | Sep 10 | hamstring | Out for season | | Latest News:
Bucs waived/injured WR Joel Filani (hamstring). The former Texas Tech Red Raider was strictly a camp body. | | | | | | Josh Bidwell | P | I.R. | Sep 10 | hip | Out for season | | Latest News:
Buccaneers placed P Josh Bidwell (hip) on injured reserve, ending his season. It's a big blow to a Bucs team that seems certain to struggle on offense. Bidwell, a former Pro Bowler, is coming off a very strong year and was being counted on to keep field position in Tampa's favor. He'll be back with just a $1M salary in 2010, but the Bucs may play musical chairs at punter in '09. | | | | | | Arron Sears | G | PUP | Sep 10 | personal | Return Week 13? | | Latest News:
Bucs GM Mark Domenik said it's "wishful thinking" to say OG Aaron Sears will contribute this season. Sears has been medically cleared to practice, but he's out of shape. Still, Sears' return gives the team something to look forward to in 2010, even if it's just their mauling offensive guard's likely return to the lineup. | | | | | | Byron Storer | RB | I.R. | Sep 10 | knee surgery | Out for the season | | Latest News:
Bucs placed FB Byron Storer on injured reserve, ending his season. It was originally reported that Storer would be released with an injury settlement after a major setback in his recovery from ACL surgery. Instead he'll be taken off the active roster while he goes through another lengthy rehab. The Bucs do keep his rights for 2010, but they shouldn't expect much. | |

Steve Breaston (knee, probable) was limited in Friday's practice. Breaston, however, will be active at St. Louis. He's always a fine WR3 bet against porous defensive backfields. The Rams are 25th against the pass. | | | | | | Chike Okeafor | LB | Out | Nov 20 | back | | | Latest News:
Cardinals OLB Chike Okeafor (back) has been ruled out for Week 11. Okeafor has 3.5 sacks to backup Bertrand Berry's 3.0, so the loss shouldn't prove too damaging. Berry will face off with Rams LT Alex Barron on Sunday. | | | | | | Pago Togafau | LB | I.R. | Sep 10 | foot | Out for season | | Latest News:
Cardinals waived/injured ILB Pago Togafau. Togafau will likely pass through waivers and head to injured reserve. He already was low on the depth chart, and a broken foot ended his season. | | | | | | Cody Brown | LB | I.R. | Sep 10 | wrist | Out for season | | Latest News:
Cardinals will place OLB Cody Brown (wrist surgery) on injured reserve, ending his season. Brown shattered multiple wrist ligaments in Arizona's second exhibition. He faces a 4-6 month recovery period, and the team couldn't afford to wait. The Cards are desperate for depth at outside linebacker. They could place a call to old friend and free agent Travis LaBoy, assuming LaBoy is healthy. | | | | | | Dennis Keyes | DB | I.R. | Sep 10 | calf | Out for season | | Latest News:
Cardinals waived/injured S Dennis Keyes. The former UCLA Bruin suffered a calf injury in camp. | | | | | | Jason Banks | DL | I.R. | Sep 10 | knee | Out for season | | Latest News:
Cardinals placed DE Jason Banks on injured reserve, ending his season. The Grambling State product will undergo surgery to repair a torn meniscus. | | | | | | Justin Green | RB | I.R. | Sep 10 | knee | Out for season | | Latest News:
Cardinals placed FB Justin Green (knee) on injured reserve, ending his season. Green, 27, tore his ACL in December 2006 with the Ravens and has never fully recovered. He probably wasn't going to make the Cardinals anyway. | |

Antonio Gates (probable, foot) practiced in full again on Friday. Gates is certain to start Sunday against the Broncos. He's been getting Wednesday practices off to rest the foot he had surgery on prior to the 2008 season. Gates is a top-five fantasy tight end in all formats. | | | | | | Jyles Tucker | LB | I.R. | Nov 18 | ankle | Out for season | | Latest News:
Chargers placed OLB Jyles Tucker (ankle) on injured reserve, ending his season. Tucker had just four tackles in seven games. Viewed as a potential long-term in-house replacement for Shawne Merriman as recently as the start of the 2008 season, Tucker's stock tumbled when the Bolts used their 2009 first-round pick on Larry English. Tucker will return at his $570K salary for 2010. | | | | | | Nick Hardwick | C | Out | Nov 6 | ankle | Return Week 13? | | Latest News:
The Chargers have ruled out C Nick Hardwick (ankle) for Sunday's game against the Broncos. Hardwick had a setback in his return from ankle surgery last Wednesday, and he hasn't practiced since. He's likely looking at a December return, as originally expected. | | | | | | Antwan Applewhite | LB | I.R. | Oct 20 | hamstring | Out for season | | Latest News:
Chargers placed LB Antwan Applewhite (hamstring) on injured reserve, ending his season. Applewhite had missed four consecutive games with a hamstring injury. With Shawne Merriman (groin) returning Monday night, the Chargers should have the linebacker depth to withstand the loss of a key reserve. | | | | | | Jamal Williams | DL | I.R. | Sep 19 | triceps | Out for season | | Latest News:
Chargers NT Jamal Williams (injured reserve), who underwent triceps surgery Wednesday, says he is intent on continuing his football career. The Bolts will have a big decision to make on the 33-year-old, who is slated for a $5 million salary in 2010. They'll likely consider drafting a new nose early in next year's draft. Backup Ogemdi Nwagbuo isn't the long-term answer. | | | | | | Ryon Bingham | DL | I.R. | Sep 10 | triceps | Out for season | | Latest News:
Chargers placed DL Ryon Bingham (triceps) on injured reserve, ending his season. This hurts the Chargers a little as he was part of their rotation on the defensive line. Rookie Vaughn Martin, who has reportedly been a star at training camp, is expected to have a bigger role now. | | | | | | Brandon Hughes | DB | I.R. | Sep 10 | knee | Out for season | | Latest News:
Chargers placed CB Brandon Hughes (knee) on injured reserve, ending his season. The Bolts never revealed the extent of Hughes' injury, but did admit that it was "significant." The fifth-round pick from Oregon State will return to battle for a roster spot in 2010. San Diego has become awfully thin at cornerback. | | | | | | Demetrius Byrd | WR | I.R. | Sep 10 | - | | | Latest News:
Chargers placed WR Demetrius Byrd on the non-football reserve/injured list. Byrd gets a "redshirt" season after suffering injuries in a pre-draft automobile accident. He'll return in 2010 to compete for a roster spot. | |

NFL suspended Chiefs WR Dwayne Bowe four games for violating the league's policy on performance enhancing substances. The suspension begins immediately and will keep Bowe out until Week 15. Bowe reported to spring workouts 30 pounds overweight, and ESPN's Adam Schefter "gathers" that Bowe took a diuretic to shed the extra pounds. He spent much of the early season in coach Todd Haley's doghouse, and the suspension may alter the team's long-term plans for him. With Bowe returning in time for many fantasy playoff games, he's worth keeping on rosters. | | | | | | Mike Goff | G | I.R. | Nov 11 | shoulder | Out for season | | Latest News:
Chiefs placed RG Mike Goff (shoulder) on injured reserve, ending his season. Goff had been in obvious decline in his final two seasons with San Diego, so it's not surprising that he didn't help the Chiefs' line. Goff is signed for 2010, but will probably be cut this offseason. He turns 34 in January. | | | | | | Jarrad Page | DB | I.R. | Nov 4 | calf | Out for season | | Latest News:
Chiefs placed FS Jarrad Page (calf) on injured reserve, ending his season. Page pulled his calf muscle severely in practice before the Chiefs' Week 7 game. The Jaguars' passing game is in a great spot this week. Page will be a restricted free agent this offseason if there's no new CBA. His stock around the league dropped big time in just six appearances this year. | | | | | | Jackie Battle | RB | I.R. | Oct 14 | shoulder | Out for season | | Latest News:
Chiefs placed RB Jackie Battle (shoulder) on injured reserve, ending his season. Battle will likely have surgery on the shoulder. The former undrafted free agent finishes 2009 with just 18 yards on nine touches. The Chiefs' third-stringer in the first five weeks, Battle lacks the skills of even a No. 2 NFL runner. | | | | | | Derek Lokey | DL | I.R. | Sep 10 | - | Out for season | | Latest News:
Chiefs waived/injured DT Derek Lokey. Lokey was pushing Ron Edwards and Tank Tyler hard for snaps at nose tackle, which says plenty about Kansas City's defensive line situation. | | | | | | Colin Brown | T | I.R. | Sep 10 | - | Out for season | | Latest News:
Chiefs placed OT Colin Brown on injured reserve, ending his season. As has become customary in Kansas City, Brown's injury was never disclosed. The raw fifth-round pick will return in 2010 to battle for a roster spot. | | | | | | Devard Darling | WR | I.R. | Sep 10 | knee surgery | Out for season | | Latest News:
Chiefs placed WR Devard Darling (torn ACL) on injured reserve, ending his season. Darling, 27, ran with the starting offense for most of camp, but his loss shouldn't hurt the Chiefs. He has just 37 career catches in five seasons as a pro. Darling will likely be cut next spring. He's due $2M in 2009 salary. | |

Despite practicing in full Friday, Pierre Garcon is on the injury report as "questionable" for Week 11. Garcon will still play at Baltimore and shouldn't be limited in any way after practicing fully Thursday and Friday. He remains a mediocre WR3 option. | | | | | | Chad Simpson | RB | Out | Nov 15 | head | | | Latest News:
Colts RB Chad Simpson suffered a head injury in the second quarter Sunday and is questionable to return. The Colts are thin at running back with both Simpson and Joseph Addai (finger) on the sidelines. Donald Brown must step up against the Patriots. | | | | | | Bob Sanders | DB | I.R. | Nov 6 | biceps | Out for season | | Latest News:
Colts president Bill Polian said that Bob Sanders (injured reserve, biceps) will be back next season as long as Sanders' recovery goes well. Polian called all of Sanders' injuries bad luck and said the strong safety was playing at an elite level before going down. Still, considering how well the Colts' secondary has played without Sanders and his monster contract that runs through 2012, don't be surprised if they shop or eventually cut him. | | | | | | Marlin Jackson | DB | I.R. | Nov 5 | knee surgery | Out for season | | Latest News:
Marlin Jackson confirmed an ESPN.com report that he tore the ACL in his left knee during Wednesday's practice. He'll be placed on injured reserve, ending his season. Jackson tore the ACL in his right knee last season, which had limited him to nickel back duties early this year. He's also missed the past three games while dealing with a left ACL strain. One of the best pass defenses in the league, the Colts are used to replacing cornerbacks and may also be without LCB Kelvin Hayden this week. Jackson is unlikely to draw much interest as a free agent after the season with chronic knee woes. | | | | | | Tyjuan Hagler | LB | I.R. | Nov 4 | biceps | Out for season | | Latest News:
Colts placed SLB Tyjuan Hagler on injured reserve with a torn biceps muscle, ending his season. Philip Wheeler and Ramon Humber are next on the depth chart, but Wheeler figures to get the nod because of his blitzing abilities. Hagler, a free agent in the offseason, sees his season end with just 26 tackles in seven games. | | | | | | Kelvin Hayden | DB | Out | Nov 1 | knee | Return Week 13? | | Latest News:
Colts LCB Kelvin Hayden will miss up to four weeks with a knee injury sustained in Week 8. Nickel back Marlin Jackson (ACL) is already out for the year, so rookies Jerraud Powers and Jacob Lacey will have to handle starting duties against the Texans' high-powered passing game this week. The Colts have a resilient secondary, but the recent string of injuries will make them a better fantasy matchup for the next month. | | | | | | Anthony Gonzalez | WR | Out | Oct 30 | knee surgery | Out indefinitely | | Latest News:
NFL.com's Jason La Canfora reports that Anthony Gonzalez has a "chance" to return in Week 12 against the Texans. La Canfora confirms the obvious -- that Gonzo won't play Sunday against the Ravens -- but says he is "expected" to resume practicing next week. Gonzalez would be just three weeks removed from knee surgery in Week 12, so the Colts definitely wouldn't immediately reinsert him into the starting lineup. We'd bet heavily against him helping anyone in the fantasy playoffs as well. | | | | | | Adam Vinatieri | K | Out | Oct 14 | knee surgery | Return late November? | | Latest News:
Colts president Bill Polian expects K Adam Vinatieri (knee surgery) to return "probably around Thanksgiving." "But Mother Nature has a way of deciding with each individual how far from the average they stray," Polian allowed. "It's not a predetermined date. That's a target." Matt Stover is 6-of-6 on FGs since replacing Vinatieri three weeks ago, so it's no lock that the Colts' incumbent will get his job back. | | | | | | Travis Key | DB | I.R. | Sep 10 | - | Out for season | | Latest News:
Colts waived/injured S Travis Key. Key was an undrafted free agent from Michigan State. | | | | | | Nick Graham | DB | I.R. | Sep 10 | - | Out for season | | Latest News:
Colts waived/injured CB Nick Graham. He was in camp competing for a spot as a gunner. | | | | | | Rudolph Hardie | DL | I.R. | Sep 10 | - | Out for season | | Latest News:
Colts waived/injured DE Rudolph Hardie. Hardie was caught in a numbers game and wasn't worth waiting for. | | | | | | Roy Hall | WR | I.R. | Sep 10 | - | Out for the season | | Latest News:
Colts WR Roy Hall cleared waivers and was placed on injured reserve, ending his season. Hall missed 13 games in his rookie season with a shoulder injury and was sidelined the majority of last season with a knee injury. The Colts haven't disclosed Hall's latest injury. His Indy career is likely over. | |

Cowboys FS Ken Hamlin is out 2-4 weeks with a high ankle sprain. Hamlin's loss isn't major for Dallas' fantasy defense because he hasn't made a big play all year. Pat Watkins will take over opposite Gerald Sensabaugh. | | | | | | Marc Colombo | T | Out | Nov 15 | ankle | Return playoffs? | | Latest News:
Cowboys RT Marc Colombo is out at least six games after undergoing surgery to repair torn ligaments in his ankle Monday. He needed surgery on his high ankle sprain, but not on his fractured fibula. The team won't place Colombo on injured reserve in hopes of having him back for the playoffs. Doug Free, who is highly athletic and projects as a strong pass protector, will stand in. Free has zero career starts, however. | | | | | | Marion Barber | RB | Probable | Nov 13 | thumb | | | Latest News:
Cowboys coach Wade Phillips admitted that his offense needs to be more balanced. The Cowboys called just three rushing plays in the second half of the Week 10 loss to the Packers and they are running just 43.1 percent of the time on the season. Marion Barber is starting to look explosive again after his early-season quad injury. Look for offensive coordinator Jason Garrett to feature the run more against the 'Skins this week, making Barber a nice RB2. | | | | | | Allen Rossum | DB | Out | Oct 25 | hamstring | | | Latest News:
Cowboys declared KR Allen Rossum, third QB Stephen McGee, S Michael Hamlin, LB Steve Octavien, LB Jason Williams, G Montrae Holland, C Duke Prestonm, and T Pat McQuistan inactive for Week 10. C Andre Gurode is active despite being limited in practice this week with a knee injury. Marion Barber will start at tailback. Kevin Ogletree takes over on kickoff returns because Felix Jones is slated for more offensive touches. | | | | | | Stephen Hodge | LB | I.R. | Sep 10 | knee surgery | Out for season | | Latest News:
Cowboys placed rookie LB Stephen Hodge (knee) on injured reserve, ending his season. The sixth-round pick underwent arthroscopic knee surgery in June and recovered slowly. He'll return in 2010 to compete for a roster spot. | | | | | | Brandon Williams | LB | I.R. | Sep 10 | knee surgery | Out for the season | | Latest News:
Cowboys placed rookie LB Brandon Williams on injured reserve, ending his season. Williams, the team's fourth-round pick, tore his ACL on Aug. 21. He was expected to give the Cowboys depth at outside linebacker. The Cowboys also released WR Julian Hawkins and placed rookie tackle Robert Brewster on reserved physically unable to perform. | | | | | | Alonzo Coleman | RB | I.R. | Sep 10 | knee | Out for season | | Latest News:
Cowboys waived/injured RB Alonzo Coleman. Coleman missed most of camp with a knee injury. The two-year practice squad player has some talent but with the three-headed running back monster in Dallas, Coleman never had a chance. | | | | | | Robert Brewster | T | PUP | Sep 10 | pectorals | Out for season | | Latest News:
Cowboys transferred OL Robert Brewster (torn pectorals) to reserve/PUP, ending his season. The Cowboys were never counting on Brewster to play this season after he tore his pecs muscle in minicamps. The 2009 third-round pick projects as a future "swing" guard/tackle, and should make the final roster in 2010. | |

The Dolphins reportedly believe Jason Ferguson's knee injury is "serious," and he'll be sent for an MRI on Friday. Beat writer Armando Salguero expects Ferguson to miss time, but it remains to be seen if he's done for the season. The Dolphins, who surrendered 182 yards on the ground at Carolina, badly need Ferguson to stop the run. | | | | | | Nate Garner | T | Out | Nov 19 | knee | Status uncertain | | Latest News:
Dolphins OL Nate Garner left Thursday's game in the fourth quarter with a right knee injury. This is getting ridiculous. Garner is the third Miami center lost to injury during the game. Joe Berger, who left with his own ankle injury, is back the game. | | | | | | Joe Berger | T | Out | Nov 19 | ankle | Status uncertain | | Latest News:
Dolphins utility OL Joe Berger left Sunday's game in the fourth quarter with an ankle injury. Berger had come on to replace Jake Grove (ankle), who tried to go back into the game but was ultimately kept on the bench. Nate Garner has moved to center after playing both tackle and guard earlier in the game. | | | | | | Jake Grove | C | Out | Nov 19 | ankle | Status uncertain | | Latest News:
Dolphins C Jake Grove limped off the field with a left ankle injury early in the third quarter of Thursday's game. He's getting treatment on the Miami bench, and his return is questionable. One of the NFL's best centers this season, Grove has been a key cog in the improved rushing attack. Veteran Joe Berger has come on to replace him. | | | | | | Anthony Fasano | TE | Out | Nov 18 | hip | Week to week | | Latest News:
Dolphins declared TE Anthony Fasano, LB Erik Walden, OT Andrew Gardner, DE Lionel Dotson, OT Lydon Murtha, DT Paul Soliai, RB Nate Ness, and QB Tyler Thigpen inactive against the Panthers in Week 11. Joey Haynos gets the start in place of Fasano. Nate Gardner is filling in for RG Justin Smiley. Ricky Williams will carry the load with Ronnie Brown (foot) out, though Lex Hilliard could see a few carries in relief. | | | | | | Erik Walden | LB | Out | Nov 18 | hamstring | | | Latest News:

Dolphins RG Justin Smiley (shoulder) will return to the starting lineup on Thursday night, according to the Miami Herald. This is a nice upgrade for Ricky Williams' matchup, which is already favorable against a bottom-feeding Carolina run defense that's without WLB Thomas Davis (torn ACL) and isn't getting help from Julius Peppers (broken hand). | | | | | | Ronnie Brown | RB | I.R. | Nov 15 | foot | Out for season | | Latest News:
Ronnie Brown has decided to undergo surgery to repair the Lisfranc fracture in his right foot. Brown had already been leaning toward electing for the surgery, and his visit with foot specialist Dr. Bob Anderson confirmed that it was the right decision. Brown will undergo surgery Friday and will likely miss all of OTAs next season. He expects to be recovered "well before" the start of the 2010 season, but he's likely to be eased in during training camp. | | | | | | Will Allen | DB | I.R. | Oct 26 | knee surgery | Out for season | | Latest News:
Doctors discovered multiple ligament tears while repairing Dolphins CB Will Allen's (injured reserve) torn ACL last week. This is a very poor development for Allen, who turns 32 before next season. He may miss all of the offseason and be questionable for 2010 training camp. Sean Smith and Vontae Davis will safely remain starters next year. | | | | | | Patrick Cobbs | RB | I.R. | Oct 13 | knee surgery | Out for season | | Latest News:
Dolphins placed RB/KR Patrick Cobbs on injured reserve with a torn ACL, ending his season. Cobbs, 26, was already not the fastest kickoff returner, so any loss of speed would be detrimental to his future. He is under contract through 2010 for a reasonable $775K, however, so expect the Tony Sparano favorite to return. | | | | | | Chad Pennington | QB | I.R. | Sep 29 | shoulder | Out for season | | Latest News:
Dolphins beat writer Armando Salguero calls the odds of impending free agent Chad Pennington (shoulder surgeries) re-signing with Miami "very slim." Salguero says the Fins have already found their starter (Chad Henne) and backups of the future (Pat White, Tyler Thigpen). Pennington is considered unlikely to settle for a clear-cut backup role. The Browns, Redskins, Panthers, Rams, Bills, Titans, 49ers, and perhaps Denver and Oakland will be looking for QB help this offseason, so there is no shortage of potential destinations. | | | | | | David Martin | TE | I.R. | Sep 10 | knee | Out for the season | | Latest News:
Dolphins placed TE David Martin (knee) on injured reserve. Martin developed swelling around his knee and will likely need arthroscopic surgery. He split receptions and yardage evenly with Anthony Fasano last year, so Fasano should see a spike in consistent output this season. | | | | | | Brennan Marion | WR | I.R. | Sep 10 | knee surgery | Out for season | | Latest News:
Dolphins rookie receiver Brennan Marion tore his ACL in practice Tuesday. He'll be placed on injured reserve, ending his season. This could end Marion's career. The undrafted free agent tore his ACL as a senior at Tulsa and was already short on speed (4.55) and size (5'11/187). | |

| | | | | | Sheldon Brown | DB | Questionable | Nov 20 | hamstring | | | Latest News:
Eagles RCB Sheldon Brown (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Week 11. Brown was able to get in a limited practice week, despite initial reports that he might miss multiple games. His absence would be a plus for Jay Cutler. Asante Samuel gets more publicity, but Brown is Philly's top cover corner. | | | | | | Jason Peters | T | Probable | Nov 19 | ankle | | | Latest News:
Eagles LT Jason Peters (ankle) put in a full practice Wednesday and will start Sunday against Chicago. Don't expect any surprise de-activations this time. Peters is taking a lot of heat for being soft and not playing through nicks in practice or games. He will protect Donovan McNabb's blind side in a game the Eagles figure to pass the ball at least 65-70 percent of the time with Brian Westbrook out. | | | | | | Quintin Demps | DB | Out | Nov 16 | ankle | Out indefinitely | | Latest News:
Eagles coach Andy Reid said that KR/DB Quintin Demps probably has a high ankle sprain. The loss of Demps hurts the Eagles most on special teams, where he was there best option on kickoff returns. Jeremy Maclin was ineffective in that role in Week 10 and took some big hits. | | | | | | Brian Westbrook | RB | Out | Nov 13 | concussion | Out indefinitely | | Latest News:
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. | | | | | | Akeem Jordan | LB | Out | Nov 13 | knee | Week to week | | Latest News:
Eagles WLB Akeem Jordan (knee) has been ruled out for Week 11. Joe Mays will start at middle linebacker at Chicago with Chris Gocong back on the strong side and Will Witherspoon at weak-side 'backer. However, the Bears don't run the ball well enough for this to significantly help Matt Forte. | | | | | | Joselio Hanson | DB | Suspended | Nov 11 | - | Return Week 14 | | Latest News:
NFL suspended Eagles CB Joselio Hanson four games for violating the NFL's policy on steroids and other banned substances. Profootballtalk's Mike Florio reports that Hanson's specific violation was taking a banned diuretic. Hanson, tested positive prior to last season's NFC Championship Game, plays in nickel and dime packages, where the Birds are suddenly ultra thin after losing Ellis Hobbs for the season. Hanson, who has 28 tackles and a pick on the year, can return in Week 14. | | | | | | Ellis Hobbs | DB | I.R. | Nov 11 | neck | Out for season | | Latest News:
Eagles placed CB Ellis Hobbs (neck surgery) on injured reserve, ending his season. Hobbs was the Eagles' primary kickoff returner, bringing back 20 kicks for a 24.1-yard average. Jeremy Maclin and Quintin Demps are candidates to take over. Hobbs was also the team's nickel back, so it's a fairly big loss despite all the talent in Philly's secondary. He'll be a free agent after the season. | | | | | | Asante Samuel | DB | Out | Nov 8 | neck | Status Uncertain | | Latest News:
Asante Samuel left Sunday night's game with an apparent head or neck injury but was able to return. Samuel took a Felix Jones knee to the helmet after going low for a tackle. He laid on the turf for a minute or two before walking slowly off the field and was checked on by trainers on the sideline. | | | | | | Omar Gaither | LB | I.R. | Oct 28 | foot | Out for season | | Latest News:
Eagles placed LB Omar Gaither (Lisfranc surgery) on injured reserve, ending his season. He can ask teammate Brian Westbrook about proper rehab tactics for a serious Lisfranc injury. The ailment will affect Gaither's stock on the 2010 free agent market. He is already a fairly poor run defender and has never been a playmaker. Gaither may struggle for more than a minimum deal. | | | | | | Kevin Curtis | WR | Out | Oct 18 | knee | Out indefinitely | | Latest News:
Kevin Curtis (knee) has been ruled out for Week 11. The Eagles have expressed no optimism that Curtis will play anytime soon. | | | | | | Shawn Andrews | T | I.R. | Sep 15 | back | Out for season | | Latest News:
Eagles OL Shawn Andrews' (injured reserve) back pain is real and there is no timetable for his recovery, according to Dr. Robert Watkins. There have been rumors that Andrews simply isn't motivated to play football, but Watkins says his back is too hurt to play. Andrews isn't expected to have more surgery on the back and will begin a rehab program Monday. Watkins said Andrews will be able to continue his career, but it remains to be seen if the Eagles will want him back. His base salary is $2 million in 2010. | | | | | | Fenuki Tupou | T | I.R. | Sep 10 | chest | Out for season | | Latest News:
Eagles placed OT Fenuki Tupou (chest) on injured reserve, ending his season. Tupou was the Birds' fifth-round pick this season. He's unlikely to ever put Jason Peters or Shawn Andrews out of a job. | | | | | | Cornelius Ingram | TE | I.R. | Sep 10 | knee surgery | Out for season | | Latest News:
Eagles TE Cornelius Ingram said he is ahead of schedule in his recovery from a second ACL surgery to his left knee. Ingram and MLB Stewart Bradley (torn ACL) are pushing each other in their rehab, and both players are progressing well. With Brent Celek emerging as one of the best tight ends in the league, Ingram's future with the Eagles remains uncertain. | | | | | | Stewart Bradley | LB | I.R. | Sep 10 | knee surgery | Out for season | | Latest News:
Eagles placed MLB Stewart Bradley (torn ACL) on injured reserve, ending his season. Bradley's season-ending injury happened on one of the first days of training camp. Omar Gaither has taken over as Philly's starter. The good news for Bradley is that he has 12 months to recover before August of 2010. Bradley will probably return as the favorite for middle linebacker duties. | | | | | | Amon Gordon | DL | I.R. | Sep 10 | achilles | Out for season | | Latest News:
Eagles waived/injured DT Amon Gordon. He'll go on injured reserve once he clears waivers. Gordon, 27, tore his Achilles' tendon at minicamp, but wasn't going to make the roster anyways. | |

| | | | | | Sam Baker | T | Probable | Nov 20 | ankle | | | Latest News:
Falcons LT Sam Baker (ankle) is on track to return for Sunday's game against the Giants. Baker has missed Atlanta's last two games. His return is good news for Matt Ryan, who otherwise would've had Will Svitek on his blind side against Osi Umenyiora. When healthy, Baker has been a technician in pass protection. | | | | | | Jerious Norwood | RB | Questionable | Nov 20 | hip | Likely will play | | Latest News:
Jerious Norwood (hip) is listed as questionable for Week 11. Norwood appears likely to make his first appearance since Week 6, but isn't a fantasy option against the Giants. He will be rusty after getting the last four games off and Jason Snelling figures to handle feature back duties. | | | | | | Mike Schneck | C | I.R. | Nov 5 | back | Out for season | | Latest News:
Falcons placed long snapper Mike Schneck (back) on injured reserve, ending his season. Schneck made the Pro Bowl in 2005 as the Bills' long snapper. He's a free agent after this season. | | | | | | Jamaal Fudge | DB | I.R. | Nov 4 | knee surgery | Out for season | | Latest News:
Falcons placed S Jamaal Fudge on injured reserve, ending his season. Fudge sustained a torn MCL in Monday night's loss against the Saints. Primarily a special teamer, the 26-year-old's season ends with just one tackle in two appearances. | | | | | | William Moore | DB | I.R. | Oct 27 | hamstring | Out for season | | Latest News:
Falcons placed S William Moore (hamstring) on injured reserve, ending his season. The Falcons had already lost first-round DT Peria Jerry and starting corner Brian Williams for the season. Moore, the team's second-round pick, was expect to make an impact as a run-stuffer, but he's been a bit player in the Falcons' defense. | | | | | | Brian Williams | DB | I.R. | Oct 19 | knee surgery | Out for season | | Latest News:
Falcons coach Mike Smith confirmed that LCB Brian Williams tore his ACL in Sunday's win. He'll be placed on injured reserve, ending his season. Brent Grimes will take over. Williams' season ends with 18 tackles, one pick, and three pass breakups in five starts. He was a reliable cover man and versed in Smith's scheme, so it's a pretty big loss. Atlanta does have talented backups, but Grimes and Jackson will have to step up their performance. Williams was on a one-year deal and may not return in 2010 at age 31. | | | | | | Peria Jerry | DL | I.R. | Sep 21 | knee surgery | Out for season | | Latest News:
Falcons placed DT Peria Jerry (knee) on injured reserve, ending his season. Jerry's injury was bone related and not a torn ACL. He'll be ready to go next summer. Jerry didn't have much talented competition, but he rose quickly to the starting lineup in his first year, which is promising for his future. The Ole Miss product's rookie season ends with just one tackle in two games. | | | | | | Harry Douglas | WR | I.R. | Sep 10 | knee surgery | Out for season | | Latest News:
Falcons coach Mike Smith confirmed Adam Schefter's report early Thursday that Harry Douglas (ACL tear) is out for the year. "It's disappointing to have Harry's season end before it got started," Smith said. The Falcons are on the lookout for a new punt returner, slot receiver, and potentially a new flanker. Douglas will go to injured reserve shortly. | |
| Name | POS | Status | Date | Injury | Returns | | | | | Antonio Pierce | LB | Out | Nov 20 | neck | | | Latest News:
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. | | | | | | Aaron Ross | DB | Questionable | Nov 20 | hamstring | | | Latest News:
| | | | | | Ahmad Bradshaw | RB | Probable | Nov 18 | foot | Will play | | Latest News:
Ahmad Bradshaw (probable, foot) participated in Giants practice again Friday. Bradshaw's partially cracked foot appears to be getting healthier, but he's been pulled off third downs and will likely see a decrease in touches over the next few games. The third-year tailback isn't a fantasy option going forward. | | | | | | Eli Manning | QB | Probable | Nov 17 | foot | Will play | | Latest News:
Eli Manning reiterated that the foot injury that bothered him early in the season is a non-issue as the Giants come out of their bye. "That injury I think is kind of over and done with," Manning said. "A week off and not practicing and not putting any pressure on the body or the arm definitely helps, refreshes the whole body." Manning is more of a QB2 even in a plus matchup with the Falcons this week. | | | | | | Gerris Wilkinson | LB | I.R. | Nov 11 | wrist | Out for season | | Latest News:
Giants placed LB Gerris Wilkinson (wrist) on injured reserve, ending his season. Wilkinson probably isn't in the Giants' long-term plans. He's in the final year of his contract and is behind Chase Blackburn and Brian Kehl on the depth chart. The 2006 third-round pick finishes the season with nine tackles. | | | | | | Domenik Hixon | WR | Out | Nov 1 | hip | | | Latest News:
Giants WR/KR Domenik Hixon left Sunday's loss to the Eagles with a hip pointer. Hixon started in place of Mario Manningham (shoulder), but he was really the No. 3 receiver as Hakeem Nicks got the majority of snaps. Hixon had one catch for three yards and lost a fumble on a kickoff before leaving. He's nowhere near a fantasy option. | | | | | | Kenny Phillips | DB | I.R. | Sep 24 | knee surgery | Out for season | | Latest News:
The Giants revealed that SS Kenny Phillips' Tuesday surgery was a microfracture procedure to relieve patello femoral arthritis. "I know that the doctors felt good about it," coach Tom Coughlin. "So we are very, very hopeful and optimistic." He'll have to wait five months before he can begin running. Regardless of Coughlin's enthusiasm, there's a chance that Phillips will never be the same player again. | | | | | | Jay Alford | DL | I.R. | Sep 10 | knee surgery | Out for season | | Latest News:
Giants placed DT Jay Alford (ACL surgery) on injured reserve, ending his season. Alford's anterior cruciate knee ligament was only partially torn, but it's still going to knock him out for the year. The explosive interior pass rusher will return in 2010 as a solid bet to make the roster. | | | | | | Andrew Carnahan | T | I.R. | Sep 10 | knee | Out for season | | Latest News:
Giants waived/injured OT Andrew Carnahan. Carnahan, a camp body, injured his knee in late August. | | | | | | Andre Brown | RB | I.R. | Sep 10 | achilles | Out for season | | Latest News:
Giants placed RB Andre Brown (Achilles) on injured reserve, ending his season. The fourth-round rookie ruptured his left Achilles on Aug. 14. He'll try to get ready for next season. Brown can be held onto in deep dynasty leagues, but know that Achilles' injuries are difficult to recover from and he already has a history of foot problems. He's not a great bet to have a long career. | |

| | | | | | Justin Durant | LB | Doubtful | Nov 18 | concussion | | | Latest News:
Jaguars MLB Justin Durant is unlikely to play in Week 11 against the Bills after suffering a concussion in last week's win. The injury wasn't revealed until Jack Del Rio's Wednesday post-practice news conference. Durant has been a solid IDP, averaging nearly nine tackles a game. His absence would slightly upgrade Marshawn Lynch's matchup. | | | | | | Jarett Dillard | WR | I.R. | Nov 17 | ankle | Out for season | | Latest News:
Jaguars placed WR Jarett Dillard on season-ending injured reserve with a broken ankle. Dillard suffered the injury against the Jets last week. While he finished his rookie season with just six catches, there were indications that Dillard had passed third-rounder Mike Thomas for the third receiver job heading into Week 10. He'll likely battle for the position again next summer. | | | | | | Rashean Mathis | DB | Out | Nov 15 | groin | | | Latest News:
Jaguars CB Rashean Mathis (groin) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Bills. It's unclear exactly how long Mathis will be out, but it could be multiple games. When Mathis missed the Week 8 loss to the Titans with a finger injury, FS Reggie Nelson shifted to corner. We would say to upgrade the Bills passing game, but the arm of Ryan Fitzpatrick negates any advantage gained here. | | | | | | Gerald Alexander | DB | Questionable | Nov 13 | shoulder | | | Latest News:
In addition to CB Rashean Mathis (groin), the Jags may also be without MLB Justin Durant (concussion) and SS Gerald Alexander (shoulder) in Week 11. The Bills offense may have a fighting chance this week even with Ryan Fitzpatrick under center. The Jags are talking about playing Reggie Nelson at corner again, which would be great news for Lee Evans in a highly favorable matchup. | | | | | | Ernest Wilford | TE | Out | Nov 13 | ankle | | | Latest News:

Troy Williamson (injured reserve, torn labrum) underwent shoulder surgery in Alabama on Friday. Williamson, still just 26 with blazing speed, is slated for free agency in 2010. He has plenty of time to get healthy enough to pass physicals before next March, but will probably have to settle for a minimum-salary deal. | | | | | | Reggie Hayward | DL | I.R. | Sep 14 | leg | Out for season | | Latest News:
Jaguars placed DE Reggie Hayward on injured reserve with a fractured shin, ending his season. Not the way he wanted it in a contract year. 31 at the start of free agency next offseason, Hayward will likely have to take a deal for the minimum just to play in 2010. He hasn't been the same since a 2006 Achilles' tear. | | | | | | Rob Meier | DL | I.R. | Sep 10 | thumb | Out for season | | Latest News:
Jaguars placed DT Rob Meier on injured reserve, ending his season. He was just a rotational lineman. | | | | | | Don Carey | DB | I.R. | Sep 10 | shoulder | Out for season | | Latest News:
Jaguars placed CB Don Carey (shoulder) on injured reserve, ending his season. Carey, a sixth-round pick out of Norfolk State, has some talent and could make the team in 2010. The Jaguars also waived rookies Maurice Dupree, Clarence Denmark, Tyler Lorenzen and Jervonte Jackson. | | | | | | Drew Miller | T | I.R. | Sep 10 | - | Out for season | | Latest News:
Jaguars waived/injured OL Drew Miller. The 24-year-old will clear waivers and go on injured reserve. | |

Leon Washington said Thursday that he's ahead of schedule in his return from a broken leg and hopes to rejoin the team in March for the off-season conditioning program. Washington's injury was a double open fracture in his right leg, where the broken tibia and fibular bones came through the skin. A steel rod was placed in his leg, and Washington is beyond the point where infection is a concern. "They expect me to have a full recovery and they're real surprised at my mobility right now," said Washington.
| | | | | | Kris Jenkins | DL | I.R. | Oct 18 | knee surgery | Out for season | | Latest News:
Jets NT Kris Jenkins (injured reserve) underwent reconstructive surgery Wednesday on his torn ACL. The Jets say they expect Jenkins back for the start of the offseason program in March, but he'll likely be limited all the way into training camp. While it's good news that Jenkins suffered a "clean tear" of the ligament, he turns 31 before next season and New York does not have good depth behind him. | | | | | | Aundrae Allison | WR | I.R. | Sep 10 | - | | | Latest News:

Phillip Buchanon and Will James have finally settled in as the Lions' starting cornerbacks. It only took half a season for Detroit to find the "right" mix. They still have the NFL's No. 32 pass defense. The Lions targeted Buchanon to be their No. 1 corner in the offseason. He was benched early on and has regained his job, but hasn't picked off a pass all year. He has 25 tackles and a forced fumble. | | | | | | Dewayne White | DL | Questionable | Nov 20 | toe | | | Latest News:

Lions placed RG Stephen Peterman (ankle surgery) on injured reserve, ending his season. By putting him on I.R. with seven games left, the Lions are essentially admitting that Peterman's ankle surgery was extensive. He probably could've came back from a "scope" in a few weeks. Peterman, 28 in January, signed a new five-year deal last offseason. He will likely return as a starter in 2010. | | | | | | Marquand Manuel | DB | I.R. | Nov 18 | shoulder | Out for season | | Latest News:
Lions placed S Marquand Manuel (shoulder) on injured reserve, ending his season. Manuel went down during Sunday's loss to the Vikings along with a host of other Lions. The team signed S Deangelo Smith off the Bears practice squad to take Manuel's place, but it's another blow to the lowly Lions. Manuel, 30, was fifth on the team with 36 tackles and had played in all nine games. He'll be a free agent after the season. | | | | | | Jack Williams | DB | I.R. | Nov 17 | knee | Out for season | | Latest News:
Lions placed CB Jack Williams on season-ending injured reserve with a knee injury. Williams played just one game for the Lions after being claimed on waivers last week. While he's signed through 2011, he'll have to battle for a roster spot next season -- assuming he's recovered from the ligament damage in his knee. | | | | | | Ernie Sims | LB | Out | Nov 8 | hamstring | Return Week 15? | | Latest News:
Lions beat writer Tom Kowalski reports that Ernie Sims' Grade 2 hamstring tear is not season threatening. The Lions currently consider Sims week to week, but do expect him back before Week 17. He's still worth dropping in all IDP leagues. Rookie DeAndre Levy figures to close out the season as Detroit's starting weak-side 'backer. | | | | | | Matthew Stafford | QB | Probable | Nov 6 | knee | Likely will play | | Latest News:
Matthew Stafford (probable, knee) returned to a full practice Friday. This is Stafford's first full practice in over a month, which bodes well for his health and Calvin Johnson's fantasy owners. Stafford was struggling to consistently connect with Calvin while battling his bum knee earlier on. | | | | | | DeMarcus Faggins | DB | I.R. | Nov 3 | undisclosed | Out for season | | Latest News:
Lions placed CB DeMarcus Faggins (upper-body injury) on injured reserve, ending his season. Faggins appeared in two games for Detroit, making four tackles. The Lions will roll with Kevin Hobbs, newly signed Jason David, and declining Anthony Henry behind starters Phillip Buchanon and Will James going forward. | | | | | | Copeland Bryan | DL | I.R. | Oct 22 | leg | Out for season | | Latest News:
Lions placed DE Copeland Bryan (leg) on injured reserve, ending his season. Bryan's loss isn't a big blow to the Lions, but they have been ravaged by injuries (and lack of talent) on the defensive line all season. | | | | | | Daunte Culpepper | QB | Out | Oct 19 | hamstring | Return Week 8 | | Latest News:
Daunte Culpepper (hamstring) participated in Lions practice Friday. Matt Stafford (knee) and Calvin Johnson (knee) were out, although that doesn't mean they'll miss Week 8. Detroit is currently on a bye. The local writers are calling for Drew Stanton to start over Culpepper should Stafford not be able to play after the off week. Culpepper has been totally ineffective. | | | | | | Eric King | DB | I.R. | Oct 12 | shoulder | Out for season | | Latest News:
Lions placed CB Eric King (shoulder) on injured reserve, ending his season. King came over with coach Jim Schwartz from Tennessee this offseason hoping to prove he could be more than a special teamer. But the 27-year-old was a liability in coverage and made no big plays. He is signed through 2010. | | | | | | Adam Jennings | WR | I.R. | Oct 5 | ankle | Out for season | | Latest News:
Lions will place WR/KR Adam Jennings (ankle) on injured reserve, ending his season. The special teamer suffered a significant ankle injury in Sunday's blowout loss to the Bears. Derrick Williams has taken over as Detroit's kick returner. | | | | | | Chris Roberson | DB | I.R. | Sep 10 | - | Out for season | | Latest News:
Lions placed CB Chris Roberson on injured reserve, ending his season. For possibly the first time in his five-year career, Roberson was making a pretty serious case to be on the Week 1 roster before his undisclosed injury. | | | | | | Daniel Bullocks | DB | I.R. | Sep 10 | knee | Out for season | | Latest News:
Lions placed SS Daniel Bullocks on injured reserve, ending his season. Bullocks was shut down a week ago after he continued to struggle with a surgically repaired knee. The Lions could release him with an injury settlement at some point if they believe Bullocks could help them late in the year. | | | | | | Cody Spencer | LB | I.R. | Sep 10 | knee surgery | Out for season | | Latest News:
Lions placed LB Cody Spencer (torn ACL) injured reserve, ending his season. Spencer suffered the injury in kickoff coverage on Saturday. At one point in the spring Spencer was the Lions' starting middle linebacker, but was likely only going to contribute on special teams this season. | | | | | | Jared DeVries | DL | I.R. | Sep 10 | achilles | Out for season | | Latest News:
Lions placed DE Jared DeVries (torn Achilles') on injured reserve, ending his season. We may not see DeVries again. He turns 34 before next season and is due $1.3 million in salary. A probable cap casualty (assuming there is a cap) next spring, DeVries registered 8.5 sacks in 20 starts between '07 and '08. | | | | | | Damion Cook | T | I.R. | Sep 10 | triceps | Out for season | | Latest News:
Lions placed OL Damion Cook on injured reserve with a triceps injury, ending his season. Cook injured the tendon during practice on Thursday.

| | | | | | Ahman Green | RB | Questionable | Nov 20 | groin | Game-time decision | | Latest News:
Ahman Green missed Packers practice Friday with a groin injury and is listed as questionable for Week 11. Green was a late addition to the injury report. It's not surprising that he's suffering in-practice injuries at age 32. Brandon Jackson will step in as Green Bay's full-time third-down back against the 49ers if Green can't play. | | | | | | Jermichael Finley | TE | Probable | Nov 13 | knee | Likely will play | | Latest News:
Jermichael Finley (knee, probable) practiced in full again Friday. Finley didn't miss one rep at Packers practice this week. He's worth stashing as a TE2, but wouldn't be a good fantasy start Sunday vs. San Francisco. | | | | | | Jason Spitz | C | I.R. | Nov 7 | back | Out for season | | Latest News:
Packers C Jason Spitz, out for the season, reportedly underwent surgery this week to repair a herniated disc in his back. There's no word yet on Spitz's expected recovery time. He's a free agent after the season, and the Packers may be looking to turn the page at center. | | | | | | Brett Swain | WR | I.R. | Oct 27 | knee | Out for season | | Latest News:
Packers placed WR Brett Swain on season-ending injured reserve with a knee injury. The Packers haven't detailed the severity of the injury, but it appears to be a torn ACL. Swain appeared in four games this season without recording a catch. Though he Packers were high on the 2008 seventh-rounder, the injury will hurt his chances of sticking next season. | | | | | | DeShawn Wynn | RB | I.R. | Oct 21 | knee | Out for season | | Latest News:
Packers placed DeShawn Wynn (knee) on injured reserve, ending his season. The Packers held up the Ahman Green signing to make a decision on Wynn. Tests revealed Wynn would be out at least one month, and the Packers couldn't wait. Wynn will be a restricted free agent this offseason. He's been an injury waiting to happen throughout his career and appeared overweight during Green Bay's first five games. It's time for the club to move on. | | | | | | Will Blackmon | DB | I.R. | Oct 12 | knee surgery | Out for season | | Latest News:
Packers placed KR/PR Will Blackmon (knee) on injured reserve, ending his season. Blackmon tore his ACL during Monday night's loss. This is the second time in four seasons Blackmon has ended up on I.R. He was the Packers' primary return man on both kickoffs and punts. He'll be replaced by Jordy Nelson. | | | | | | Patrick Lee | DB | I.R. | Sep 10 | knee | Out for season | | Latest News:
Packers placed CB Patrick Lee (knee) on injured reserve, ending his season. Lee suffered a serious knee injury during the preseason. A second-round pick in 2008, the former Auburn Tiger has given Green Bay nothing in two years. | | | | | | Justin Harrell | DL | I.R. | Sep 10 | back | Out for season | | Latest News:
Packers placed DL Justin Harrell (back) on injured reserve, ending his season. The Packers have gotten 17 tackles in 13 games out of Harrell since making him the 16th overall pick in the 2007 NFL Draft. He'll try to put his back woes behind him with a full year of rehab. Green Bay is keeping late-round pick Jairus Wynn and career reserve Michael Montgomery instead. | |
| Name | POS | Status | Date | Injury | Returns | | | | | Landon Johnson | LB | Out | Nov 19 | knee | Status uncertain | | Latest News:
Panthers WLB Landon Johnson left Sunday's game in the fourth quarter with a knee injury and did not return. Johnson and Nail Diggs were prime culprits in a Panthers defense that struggled to tackle all night. His injury could open the door to more playing for Dan Connor, which may actually help the Panthers' run defense. | | | | | | DeAngelo Williams | RB | Questionable | Nov 18 | knee | Likely will play | | Latest News:
DeAngelo Williams rushed 13 times for 122 yards and added one reception for nine yards against the Dolphins in Week 11. Averaging close to 10 yards a pop, an explosive Williams couldn't be stopped by a previous stout Dolphins run defense. Had the coaches not been trying to build confidence in Jake Delhomme, Williams could have threatened 200 yards. Having learned a valuable lesson, the Panthers will look to get the ball back in Williams' hands next week against the Jets. With six straight games over 100 total yards, he remains a must-start RB1. | | | | | | Damione Lewis | DL | Questionable | Nov 18 | shoulder | | | Latest News:
| | | | | | Charles Johnson | DL | Doubtful | Nov 18 | shoulder | | | Latest News:
Panthers DE Charles Johnson (pectorals) is listed as doubtful for Thursday night's game against the Dolphins. Johnson is an integral part of Carolina's nickel defense, so his absence will affect the team's pass rush. He has three sacks and a pair of forced fumbles on the year. Even with Ronnie Brown out, Carolina will likely struggle to halt Miami's offense. The Panthers were already very poor in run defense. | | | | | | Jordan Gross | T | I.R. | Nov 17 | ankle | Out for season | | Latest News:
Panthers placed LT Jordan Gross on injured reserve with a broken right ankle, ending his season. Practice squad WR Charly Martin was activated to take Gross' place. The Panthers signed Gross to a $60M extension through 2014, so he'll certainly be back at his $4.5 million salary for 2010. Line play was not the reason for Carolina's slow start -- it was awful run defense and terrible decision making at quarterback. Gross suffered a clean ankle break and had surgery immediately, so the 29-year-old figures to be 100% well before '10 camp. | | | | | | Jonathan Stewart | RB | Questionable | Nov 13 | heel | Will play | | Latest News:
Jonathan Stewart rushed 12 times for 43 yards against the Dolphins in Week 11. Stewart was never able to break a long run, and the Panthers uncharacteristically elected to keep the ball in Jake Delhomme's hands near the goal-line. With little work in the passing game, Stewart remains highly dependent touchdowns for weekly fantasy relevance. He's worth consideration as a flex option against the Jets next week. | | | | | | Brad Hoover | RB | Doubtful | Nov 13 | ankle | | | Latest News:
| | | | | | Charles Godfrey | DB | Doubtful | Nov 13 | ankle | | | Latest News:
| | | | | | Thomas Davis | LB | I.R. | Nov 9 | knee surgery | Out for season | | Latest News:
Panthers WLB Thomas Davis (injured reserve, torn ACL) will have reconstructive knee surgery on November 30. The team is presumably waiting for the end of the month because the knee is still swollen. Davis will hit free agency, probably as a restricted FA, just three months removed from surgery. Carolina should be able to retain him. | | | | | | Louis Leonard | DL | I.R. | Sep 20 | ankle | Out for season | | Latest News:
Panthers placed DT Louis Leonard on injured reserve with a broken ankle, ending his season. Leonard's ankle surgery will call for a six-month recovery period. The Panthers now have only Damione Lewis, Nick Hayden, and rookie Sunny Harris on the roster as defensive tackles. Marion Barber and/or Felix Jones could have a field day next week against a woeful Panthers run defense. | | | | | | Josh McCown | QB | I.R. | Sep 14 | foot | Out for season | | Latest News:
Panthers placed QB Josh McCown (knee, foot) on injured reserve, ending his season. The knee was only sprained, but his foot injury was serious. This moves Matt Moore into the No. 2 quarterback role behind pick-prone starter Jake Delhomme, and may indicate an A.J. Feeley signing is coming. McCown, 30, isn't under contract for 2010 and has likely played his last down for Carolina. GM Marty Hurney will have to strongly consider drafting a QB early in 2010. | | | | | | Corvey Irvin | DL | I.R. | Sep 10 | knee | Out for season | | Latest News:
Panthers placed DT Corvey Irvin on injured reserve with a torn MCL, ending his season. You're not going to find a worse interior defensive line situation in the league. Irvin, a third-round pick, was being counted on for a big role with Ma'ake Kemoeatu out for the year. For fantasy running back matchups, remember that Carolina's defense projects to be very poor against the run. | | | | | | Maake Kemoeatu | DL | I.R. | Sep 10 | achilles | Out for season | | Latest News:
Panthers placed NT Ma'ake Kemoeatu (Achilles' surgery) on injured reserve, ending his season. Kemo had hoped to come back in late December, but Carolina was never going to hold a roster spot that long. Keep in mind how weak the Panthers' run defense will likely be without their massive interior clogger. Kemoeatu is signed for next season, but will be 31, coming off a career-threatening injury, and is due a $9.3M option bonus in March 2010. He may be a cap casualty. | |

Patriots WR Sam Aiken (hip) returned to practice in a limited fashion Thursday. Aiken has a shot to play this week, but he won't see as much time as the No. 3 receiver with Julian Edelman now healthy. | | | | | | Sammy Morris | RB | Questionable | Nov 18 | knee | Likely will play | | Latest News:
Sammy Morris (questionable, knee) indicated Friday that he will be a game-time decision Sunday against the Jets. Morris is expected back, but the Patriots tell players to be tight-lipped on injuries. "Sore, but I feel good," Morris said. "We'll see Sunday. Just taking it day by day." Morris' role is unclear coming off a month-long knee sprain. | | | | | | Brandon Tate | WR | I.R. | Nov 14 | knee | Out for season | | Latest News:
Patriots placed WR/KR Brandon Tate (knee) on injured reserve, ending his season. Tate was just activated from the PUP in Week 7, but clearly had a setback with his surgically repaired knee. Tate tore his ACL and MCL last October while playing for North Carolina. Sam Aiken now has the No. 3 receiver duties all to himself with Julian Edelman (arm) likely out and there has to be long-term concerns about Tate. | | | | | | Julian Edelman | WR | Questionable | Nov 13 | arm | Likley will play | | Latest News:
Julian Edelman (questionable, arm) was limited in Patriots practice Friday. Edelman was limited every day this week, but is fully expected to play against the Jets. He's not a WR3 or flex option against a difficult pass defense. | | | | | | Fred Taylor | RB | Out | Oct 7 | ankle | Out indefinitely | | Latest News:
Fred Taylor (ankle surgery) still has not resumed practicing. It's impressive that the Pats have been able to keep him off injured reserve so long. Taylor hasn't played or practiced in seven weeks and remains without a timetable for return. He's deservedly on most fantasy waiver wires. | | | | | | Chris Taylor | RB | I.R. | Sep 10 | shoulder | Out for season | | Latest News:
Patriots placed RB Chris Taylor (shoulder) on injured reserve, ending his season. Taylor is injuring himself out of the league. Once a fantasy sleeper when the Texans had no running backs, the 25-year-old's future is dim. | | | | | | Shawn Crable | LB | I.R. | Sep 10 | groin | Out for season | | Latest News:
Patriots placed OLB Shawn Crable (groin) on injured reserve, ending his season. This will mark the second straight year Crable's spent on I.R. The 2008 third-round pick is swiftly falling out of the Patriots' future plans. | | | | | | George Bussey | G | I.R. | Sep 10 | knee | Out for season | | Latest News:
Patriots placed OG George Bussey (knee) on injured reserve, ending his season. Bussey was the Patriots' fifth-round pick this season. He had swelling in his knee and will now undergo surgery. | | | | | | Tyrone McKenzie | LB | I.R. | Sep 10 | knee surgery | Out for season | | Latest News:
Patriots signed third-round LB Tyrone McKenzie to a four-year contract, including a $631,000 signing bonus. McKenzie wasn't a holdout; he tore his ACL during the Pats' first offseason minicamp and will miss the season. The No. 97 overall pick projects as an inside linebacker in New England's 3-4. He'll battle for a roster spot in 2010. | |
| Name | POS | Status | Date | Injury | Returns | | | | | Sam Bradford | QB | Out | Oct 21 | shoulder | | | Latest News:
ESPN's Joe Schad reports that Sam Bradford had the stitches removed from his surgically repaired right (throwing) arm on Wednesday. Bradford, who has all but confirmed that he'll enter the 2010 NFL Draft despite being a fourth-year junior, is believed to be progressing well after the surgery was deemed a success by Dr. James Andrews. Andrews is the Redskins' team doctor and Washington needs a quarterback, so Bradford figures to be linked to the Skins throughout the pre-draft process. | |

| | | | | | Oren O'Neal | RB | I.R. | Oct 14 | ankle | Out for season | | Latest News:
Raiders waived/injured FB Oren O'Neal (ankle). O'Neal has rarely been healthy since being drafted in the 2007 sixth round. Oakland will ride H-back Luke Lawton in the fullback role the rest of the way. | | | | | | Ricky Brown | LB | Out | Oct 13 | ankle | Return Week 12? | | Latest News:
Raiders SLB Ricky Brown (ankle) has already been ruled out for Week 11. Brown went down in Week 5 and there was concern he might need season-ending surgery. He didn't have the surgery, but doesn't appear close to returning to the field. | | | | | | John Bowie | DB | I.R. | Sep 30 | knee | Out for season | | Latest News:
Raiders waived/injured CB John Bowie (knee) Bowie had knee problems in his college career. The 2007 fourth-round pick showed some promise in camp, but played sparingly in the first three games. | | | | | | Nick Miller | WR | Out | Sep 16 | shin splints | Out 4-6 weeks | | Latest News:
Raiders KR Nick Miller (cracked tibia) is not expected back for at least another week. Miller, an undrafted rookie, has yet to appear in an NFL game thanks to his injury. Johnathan Holland has been the Raiders' primary return man this season, averaging 20.4 yards on 20 kickoff returns. | |

Rams placed WR Keenan Burton on injured reserve with a torn right patellar tendon, ending his season. Rookie Brandon Gibson, coming off a 93-yard game, will move into the every-down receiver position opposite Donnie Avery. Burton proved this year that he lacks the talent and separation skills to be a long-term starter. With a cheap contract, he'll return in 2010 to compete for a substitute role. | | | | | | Bradley Fletcher | DB | I.R. | Oct 27 | knee surgery | Out for season | | Latest News:
Rams placed CB Bradley Fletcher on injured reserve with a torn LCL and ACL, ending his season. Fletcher will have two separate operations; the first will repair his LCL and the second will fix his anterior cruciate ligament. St. Louis will have to go back to the drawing board at the cornerback position opposite Ronald Bartell this offseason. Fletcher had emerged as a possible long-term solution, but may begin 2010 on the Physically Unable to Perform list. | | | | | | Chris Massey | RB | I.R. | Oct 27 | knee surgery | Out for season | | Latest News:
Rams placed LS Chris Massey on injured reserve with a torn left ACL, ending his season. Massey will have reconstructive surgery to repair the ligament, which was injured in Week 7. The longtime St. Louis deep snapper isn't signed for 2010. | | | | | | Richie Incognito | G | Out | Oct 26 | foot | Out indefinitely | | Latest News:
Rams declared G Richie Incognito, QB Keith Null, CB Danny Gorrer, LB Dominic Douglas, G Roger Allen, T Phil Trautwein, DT Leger Douzable and WR Ruvell Martin inactive for Week 10. Incognito suffered a foot injury in late October and still isn't 100 percent. The Rams are hosting the undefeated Saints on Sunday. | | | | | | Gary Gibson | DL | I.R. | Oct 12 | ankle | Out for season | | Latest News:
Rams placed DT Gary Gibson on injured reserve with a broken ankle/foot, ending his season. St. Louis will likely now see what third-round rookie Dorell Scott can do as a starter. Gibson finishes with 11 tackles and zero sacks in five starts. | | | | | | Laurent Robinson | WR | I.R. | Sep 29 | leg | Out for season | | Latest News:
Rams placed WR Laurent Robinson (fractured fibula) on injured reserve, ending his season. Robinson showed legitimate starting ability in the first three weeks, but he's now had two straight seasons cut short due to injury. He's under contract for one more season, but the Rams may not be able to count on him as a starter going into next season. | | | | | | Adam Carriker | DL | I.R. | Sep 10 | shoulder | Out for season | | Latest News:
Rams DT Adam Carriker, who is on injured reserve, will undergo surgery Wednesday to repair a torn muscle in his right shoulder. Carriker's rehab time is about four months. It's his second shoulder operation in the last 20 months, but he should be good to go for next year's camp. | | | | | | Brooks Foster | WR | I.R. | Sep 10 | ankle | Out for season | | Latest News:
Rams placed WR Brooks Foster (ankle) on injured reserve, ending his season. Foster was only expected to miss the first 4-6 weeks of the season, but the Rams couldn't afford to carry him into late October. The Rams envisioned Foster as the answer at slot receiver, but he'll have to fight for a job next year. | | | | | | Eric Bassey | DB | I.R. | Sep 10 | knee surgery | Out for season | | Latest News:
Rams waived/injured S Eric Bassey. Bassey tore his anterior cruciate ligament in a non-contact special teams drill. The Rams fear he may have sustained even further damage to the knee. | |

Ravens NT Haloti Ngata (ankle) insists he will play on Sunday against the Colts. Ngata is listed as questionable and has missed the team's last two games. Baltimore missed their big run stuffer in Week 9 when Cedric Benson gashed them for 117 yards and a score. The Ravens could use him this week against Joseph Addai and Donald Brown. | | | | | | Jarret Johnson | LB | Probable | Nov 20 | shoulder | | | Latest News:

Todd Heap (ribs) will be a game-time decision Sunday against the Colts. The Colts defend tight ends very well, so Heap won't be much of a fantasy option even if he plays. He's only the No. 17 overall TE in fantasy anyhow. | | | | | | Joe Flacco | QB | Probable | Nov 18 | knee | | | Latest News:
Ravens beat reporter Mike Preston believes that Joe Flacco has "regressed" over the last couple of weeks. Preston says Flacco only seems comfortable in the no-huddle offense, which requires fewer quick reads and less thinking on his feet. Flacco has just one touchdown and two interceptions in his last three games, and hasn't thrown for more than 200 yards since Week 6. Consider Flacco only a QB2 over the next three weeks with difficult matchups vs. IND, vs. PIT, and @ GB. | | | | | | Haruki Nakamura | DB | I.R. | Nov 18 | ankle | Out for season | | Latest News:
Ravens placed SS/ST Haruki Nakamura (ankle) on injured reserve, ending his season. Nakamura broke his right ankle against the Browns on Monday night. He was primarily a special teams player, but the Ravens had talked about getting him snaps at safety with Dawan Landry struggling. Barring any complications, Nakamura should be back with the Ravens next season. | | | | | | Terrell Suggs | DL | Out | Nov 17 | knee | Out indefinitely | | Latest News:
Terrell Suggs (knee) said Thursday that "there's no doubt" he will play again this season. Suggs is hoping to return for next week's game against the Steelers, but he doesn't sound optimistic about it. "Hopefully, I can miraculously heal and try to get back to play [against Pittsburgh]," said Suggs. The latest report has Suggs missing at least 2-3 weeks. | | | | | | Brendon Ayanbadejo | LB | I.R. | Oct 5 | quadriceps | Out for season | | Latest News:
Ravens placed LB Brandon Ayanbadejo on injured reserve with a torn quadriceps muscle, ending his season. It's a special teams loss more than anything, although Ayanbadejo had worked himself into some nickel packages on defense. Ayanbadejo turns 34 before next season, but figures to be back at his $760,000 salary. | | | | | | Jason Phillips | LB | I.R. | Sep 10 | knee | Out for season | | Latest News:
Ravens placed ILB Jason Phillips (knee) on injured reserve, ending his season. He'll take a redshirt rookie year and come back in 2010 competing to play next to Ray Lewis. Phillips struggled to recover from offseason LCL surgery. | | | | | | Samari Rolle | DB | PUP | Sep 10 | neck | Likely out for season | | Latest News:
Ravens CB Samari Rolle (neck, PUP) admits his football career may be over. "I've had two neck surgeries and at my age, unless they show me something scientifically that says I can't hurt myself again, then I'm done," said Rolle. The 12-year veteran is headed for the season-ending PUP list. | | | | | | Lamar Divens | DL | I.R. | Sep 10 | hip | Out for season | | Latest News:
Ravens placed DT Lamar Divens on injured reserve with a hip flexor, ending his season. A big project out of Tennessee State, Divens had no tackles in three games as an undrafted rookie in 2008. He entered camp on the roster bubble. | | | | | | Marcus Smith | WR | I.R. | Sep 10 | knee surgery | Out for season | | Latest News:
Ravens placed WR Marcus Smith (ACL surgery) on injured reserve, ending his season. Smith tore his ACL in the Ravens' preseason opener. He was unable to get the inside track on the No. 4 receiving job this summer. He's no longer worth a roster spot in deep Dynasty leagues. | | | | | | Adam Terry | T | I.R. | Sep 10 | knee surgery | Out for season | | Latest News:
Ravens coach John Harbaugh revealed that OL Adam Terry (injured reserve) may need a microfracture procedure on his knee. This would further crush his 2010 market value. 27-year-olds with starting experience and versatility are usually valued highly, unless they have chronic knee problems. Terry will likely have to sign a one-year "prove it" deal. | | | | | | Quinn Sypniewski | TE | I.R. | Sep 10 | knee surgery | Out for season | | Latest News:
Despite waiving him Monday, Ravens coach John Harbaugh says free agent TE Quinn Sypniewski is "still very much in our plans down the road." He'd better hope Sypniewski isn't claimed off waivers, then. A 27-year-old with dominant blocking skills, Sypniewski will generate interest if he's healthy. | |

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. | | | | | | Ladell Betts | RB | Probable | Nov 18 | ankle | | | Latest News:
Ladell Betts (foot) has resumed practicing without limitations. Betts will start against the Cowboys, and makes for a decent flex to low-level RB2 play. Despite reports of a foot sprain entering Week 10, Betts racked up 120 total yards and a touchdown on 27 touches against the Broncos. | | | | | | Chris Horton | DB | I.R. | Nov 11 | toe | Out for season | | Latest News:
Redskins placed S Chris Horton on injured reserve after undergoing surgery to repair ligament damage in his toe, ending his season. Horton lost his starting gig to Reed Doughty for a few games, but expect him to be back to compete for the job next season. Horton finishes the season with 37 tackles and one forced fumble. | | | | | | Clinton Portis | RB | Out | Nov 8 | concussion | Week to week | | Latest News:
Clinton Portis will see another specialist about his concussion on Friday. Portis, who's been ruled out for Week 11, is still in the process of getting medical clearance to resume practicing. We'd give thought to dropping him in 10-team leagues. He was playing poorly behind Washington's injury-ruined offensive line before the concussion, and would likely only return as a carry sharer with Ladell Betts down the stretch. Don't bet him playing in Week 12. | | | | | | Chris Samuels | T | I.R. | Oct 31 | neck | Out for season | | Latest News:
Redskins LT Chris Samuels (spine, injured reserve) said Sunday he is feeling better and hasn't ruled out playing again. Samuels told some teammates he was planning on retiring, but has apparently changed those plans. He'll be re-evaluated in a couple months and will decide about the fate of his career then. Samuels is still only 32 and the Redskins are desperate for him to return. | | | | | | Chris Cooley | TE | Out | Oct 27 | ankle | Out indefinitely | | Latest News:
Chris Cooley will see another doctor about his surgically repaired ankle next Monday. Cooley wasn't at the Redskins' practice facility Wednesday, and the team still hasn't given a time frame for him to return. Consider him out for Week 11 against Dallas and a big long shot to face the Eagles the following Sunday. | | | | | | Randy Thomas | G | I.R. | Sep 22 | triceps | Out for season | | Latest News:
Redskins placed RG Randy Thomas on injured reserve with a torn right triceps muscle, ending his season. It should've happened the past two years, but the Skins need to go heavy on offensive linemen in the 2010 draft (and scout better). Thomas will return at age 34 next year with a salary that shoots from $1.6 million to $3.7 million. He will have missed 27 of the Redskins' last 48 regular season games. | | | | | | Colt Brennan | QB | I.R. | Sep 10 | hamstring | Out for season | | Latest News:
Redskins QB Colt Brennan, who is out for the year, underwent surgery to repair a torn left labrum in his hip this week. It's his second hip surgery since entering the pros. Doctors confirmed that Brennan's preseason hamstring problems resulted from the ongoing hip injury. He will return in 2010 to compete for a roster spot. | | | | | | Roydell Williams | WR | I.R. | Sep 10 | finger | Out for season | | Latest News:
Redskins waived/injured WR Roydell Williams. Williams recently underwent surgery to repair a broken left pinkie. The injury isn't a season-ender, so he could be released with an injury settlement. | |

| | | | | | Darren Sharper | DB | Probable | Nov 20 | knee | | | Latest News:
| | | | | | Reggie Bush | RB | Questionable | Nov 19 | knee | Likely will not play | | Latest News:
Reggie Bush (questionable, knee) missed his third straight practice Friday and appears unlikely to play at Tampa Bay. Pierre Thomas will carry the load in an ideal matchup, with Mike Bell chipping in as an early-down change of pace back. Coach Sean Payton said Bush likely wouldn't even be available for punt return duties. The Saints want to avoid a setback with Bush's knee, which he's had surgically repaired several times before. They'll likely play it safe so he's available for the stretch run. | | | | | | Tracy Porter | DB | Out | Nov 15 | knee | Out indefinitely | | Latest News:
Beat reporter Jeff Duncan confirms that Tracy Porter has a sprained MCL and will miss 4-6 weeks. In a somewhat strange coincidence, it's the same injury that has hobbled fellow Saints Pierre Thomas, Mike Bell, Sedrick Ellis and Kendrick Clancy at different points this season. Porter's loss is big as Jabari Greer is already struggling with a groin injury. Luckily, the Saints are facing rookie QB Josh Freeman this week. | | | | | | Kendrick Clancy | DL | Out | Nov 7 | knee | | | Latest News:
| | | | | | Lance Moore | WR | Out | Nov 6 | ankle | Week to week | | Latest News:
Lance Moore (ankle) has been ruled out for Week 11. Moore, who has no timetable to return, is fantasy waiver wire fodder. | | | | | | Heath Evans | RB | I.R. | Oct 29 | knee | Out for season | | Latest News:
Saints coach Sean Payton revealed that FB Heath Evans will undergo surgery to repair a torn ACL in his right knee. He'll be placed on season-ending injured reserve. The Saints' will feel Evans' loss as a lead-blocker, but Pierre Thomas and Mike Bell should remain successful behind the combination of Kyle Eckel, Lynell Hamilton and tight ends David Thomas and Darnell Dinkins. Evans is due $755,000 next season in the final year of his contract. | | | | | | Rod Harper | WR | I.R. | Oct 16 | foot | Out for season | | Latest News:
Saints placed WR Rod Harper (foot) on injured reserve, ending his season. Harper, a product of AFL2 returned two punts for scores in the preseason, but couldn't get on the field due to a stress fracture in his left foot. | | | | | | Jammal Brown | T | I.R. | Sep 29 | hip | Out for the season | | Latest News:
Saints placed LT Jammal Brown (hip, sports hernia) on injured reserve, ending his season. Brown underwent sports hernia surgery in late August and then followed it up with an early September hip surgery. He was originally expected to return around mid-season. Brown obviously wasn't missed in the first two games, but his fill-in Jermon Bushrod injured his ankle against a pressuring Bills defense in Week 3. The Saints' best lineman, Brown is a free agent after the season and will likely be brought back on a relatively cheap, short-term deal. | | | | | | Stanley Arnoux | LB | I.R. | Sep 10 | achilles | Out for the season | | Latest News:
Saints signed fourth-round LB Stanley Arnoux and placed him on injured reserve with an Achilles tendon injury. A college teammate of Aaron Curry and the Broncos' Alphonso Smith, Arnoux suffered a torn Achilles during rookie camp in May. He should be fully recovered, and competing for a roster spot, by training camp 2010. | | | | | | Chip Vaughn | DB | I.R. | Sep 10 | knee surgery | Out for season | | Latest News:
Saints placed S Chip Vaughn (knee) on injured reserve, ending his season. Vaughn's mid-August knee surgery was only going to cost him the first few weeks of the season, so he must not have shown much on the practice field pre-injury. The 2009 fourth-round pick will be back to compete in 2010. | | | | | | Olaniyi Sobomehin | RB | I.R. | Sep 10 | shoulder | Out for season | | Latest News:
Saints placed FB Olaniyi Sobomehin (shoulder) on injured reserve, ending his season. Sobomehin went down in the Saints' preseason finale. They'll roll with the more versatile Heath Evans in front of Pierre Thomas this season. | | | | | | Billy Miller | TE | I.R. | Sep 10 | achilles | Out for season | | Latest News:
Saints placed TE Billy Miller on injured reserve with a torn Achilles' tendon, ending his season. Miller, 32, is not under contract for 2010, so this devastating injury threatens his career. David Thomas is now the No. 2 tight end in New Orleans. | | | | | | Greg Fassitt | DB | I.R. | Sep 10 | hamstring | Out for season | | Latest News:
Saints waived/injured DB Greg Fassitt. The Grambling alum pulled a hamstring during the preseason. | | | | | | D'Juan Woods | WR | I.R. | Sep 10 | neck | Out for season | | Latest News:
Saints waived/injured WR D'Juan Woods. Rashaun's little brother battled a neck injury throughout camp. | | | | | | Mark Simoneau | LB | I.R. | Sep 10 | triceps | Out for season | | Latest News:
Saints placed LB Mark Simoneau on injured reserve with a torn triceps muscle, ending his season. A Derrick Brooks signing may be forthcoming. Simoneau turns 32 before next season and has been very injury prone late in his career. He's quite unlikely to be brought back at his $1.25 million scheduled base salary. | | | | | | Dan Campbell | TE | I.R. | Sep 10 | knee surgery | Out for season | | Latest News:
Saints placed TE Dan Campbell (knee) on injured reserve, ending his season. Campbell didn't recover quickly enough from MCL surgery for the Saints' tastes. The 33-year-old and 11-year veteran's career may very well be over. | |
| Name | POS | Status | Date | Injury | Returns | | | | | Josh Wilson | DB | Doubtful | Nov 20 | concussion | | | Latest News:
With the Seahawks expected to be without CB Josh Wilson (concussion) on Sunday, coach Jim Mora says that Kelly Jennings will start in his place. Wilson has been starting at right corner opposite Marcus Trufant, where Jennings will now fill in. This is a very favorable matchup for Brett Favre and the Vikings' passing game. | | | | | | Marcus Trufant | DB | Probable | Nov 20 | concussion | | | Latest News:
| | | | | | Chris Spencer | C | Probable | Nov 20 | thumb, back | | | Latest News:
| | | | | | Craig Terrill | DL | Questionable | Nov 20 | shoulder | | | Latest News:
| | | | | | Julius Jones | RB | Out | Nov 15 | ribs | Week to week | | Latest News:
Seahawks coach Jim Mora has ruled out Julius Jones (ribs, lung) for Week 11 at Minnesota. "He won't be available Sunday," Mora said. "We'll see how he progresses. Hopefully (he'll be back) next week. We have to be careful." Jones is averaging just 3.7 yards per carry and Minnesota ranks sixth in run defense, so he wasn't going to be productive anyway. Justin Forsett will be pulled off returns, but start the game at tailback and try to make a case for a more significant role going forward. Seattle plays the Rams in Week 12. | | | | | | Lofa Tatupu | LB | Out | Oct 30 | pectoral | | | Latest News:
| | | | | | Walter Jones | T | I.R. | Oct 28 | knee surgery | Out for season | | Latest News:
Seahawks LT Walter Jones (injured reserve, knee surgeries) says he wants to keep playing football. We'll see how he feels after more surgery, which coach Jim Mora says very well may be in the offing for Jones. "My next step is to keep working and try to get back," Jones said. "I still want to play this game. I still have the love." Most likely, the soon-to-be 36-year-old played his NFL last snap in 2008. | | | | | | Brandon Frye | T | I.R. | Oct 13 | neck | Out for season | | Latest News:
Seahawks placed LT Brandon Frye (neck) on injured reserve, ending his season. Frye's injury was first reported as a "stinger," but it was obviously more serious. Kyle Williams, promoted from the practice squad last weekend, replaced Frye on Sunday. Street free agent Damion McIntosh may have to step in as the starter at left tackle immediately. Matt Hasselbeck remains a poor bet to stay upright behind the Seahawks' crumbling offensive line. | |
