| # | Headline | Summary | Published | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1. | Lions | Pettigrew heads to locker room | (KFFL) Updating previous reports, FOX Sports reports Detroit Lions TE Brandon Pettigrew (knee) went into the locker room after suffering what appeared to be a knee injury during Week 12. He appeared to have trouble putting his full weight on his injured leg. | 17 minutes | |
| 2. | Lions | Stafford not risking further injury to shoulder | (KFFL) FOX Sports reports Detroit Lions head coach Jim Schwartz was told by team doctors that QB Matthew Stafford (knee, shoulder) would not be risking further injury to his already ailing shoulder by playing during Week 12. Stafford, as reported, started the team's Thanksgiving game against the Green Bay Packers. | 18 minutes | |
| 3. | Eagles | S. Brown limited Thursday | (KFFL) Jeff McLane, of the Philadelphia Inquirer, reports Philadelphia Eagles CB Sheldon Brown (hamstring) was limited in practice Thursday, Nov. 26. | 18 minutes | |
| 4. | Lions | Culpepper disappointed he didn't start | (KFFL) Pam Oliver, of FOX Sports, reports Detroit Lions backup QB Daunte Culpepper appeared disappointed after he did not start the team's Thanksgiving Day game against the Green Bay Packers Thursday, Nov. 26. Culpepper was expected to start after QB Matthew Stafford (knee, shoulder) was listed as doubtful for the game and missed practice during the week. When asked about the situation, Culpepper told Oliver he did not want to talk about it. | 18 minutes | |
| 5. | Eagles | Jordan misses practice Thursday | (KFFL) Jeff McLane, of the Philadelphia Inquirer, reports Philadelphia Eagles LB Akeem Jordan (knee) missed the team's practice Thursday, Nov. 26. Defensive coordinator Shaun McDermott said LB Jeremiah Trotter and LB Joe Mays would continue to split time at middle linebacker if Jordan is unable to play Week 12. | 21 minutes | |
| 6. | Eagles | Samuel misses practice Thursday | (KFFL) Jeff McLane, of the Philadelphia Inquirer, reports Philadelphia Eagles CB Asante Samuel (neck) missed the team's practice Thursday, Nov. 26. CB Dimitri Patterson will play left cornerback if Samuel is unable to play Week 12. | 22 minutes | |
| 7. | Lions | Pettigrew injured Week 12 | (KFFL) Detroit Lions TE Brandon Pettigrew (knee) suffered an apparent knee injury Week 12. Trainers looked at him on the field, but he was able to walk off under his own power. | 39 minutes | |
| 8. | Michael Turner | (RotoWire) Turner (ankle) practiced on Thursday and there's a good chance he's going to return Sunday against Tampa Bay, Fox's Jay Glazer reports. Analysis: Keep an eye on this situation for the next few days, but we'd put Turner's odds of playing at much better than 50-50 at this stage. It's a nice matchup, at home against the Bucs, but because he's dealing with the dreaded high ankle sprain there's some additional risk to using him if he's active. | 1 hour | |
| 9. | Chiefs | Two likely to play Week 12 | (KFFL) Adam Teicher, of The Kansas City Star, reports Kansas City Chiefs RB Kolby Smith (ankle) and LB Dave Herron (knee) will likely play Week 12 against the San Diego Chargers. | 1 hour | |
| 10. | Chiefs | Four uncertain for Week 12 | (KFFL) Adam Teicher, of The Kansas City Star, reports Kansas City Chiefs OG Andy Alleman (knee), LB Mike Vrabel (knee), RB Dantrell Savage (ankle) and LB Justin Rogers (thigh) are uncertain to play Week 12. | 1 hour | |
| 11. | Cowboys | Jenkins getting banged up making hits | (KFFL) Bill Nichols, of The Dallas Morning News, reports Dallas Cowboys CB Mike Jenkins (elbow, head) is getting banged up making hits this season. Head coach Wade Phillips said, "Part of it is he just needs to run up on them and tackle them instead of diving. He's fast enough to run up on a guy rather than taking a shot at diving at them. He does that a lot of times but we're working with him on that. He needs to run up on them and tackle them. He doesn't need to leave his feet." | 1 hour | |
| 12. | Kampman, Aaron | GB | (SportsGrumblings) Packers LB Aaron Kampman is inactive for today's contest | 1 hour | |
| 13. | Johnson, Calvin | Det | (SportsGrumblings) Lions WR Calvin Johnson is active today | 1 hour | |
| 14. | Stafford, Matthew | Det | (SportsGrumblings) Lions QB Stafford is active for today's game. | 1 hour | |
| 15. | Report: Steelers trying out veteran QBs | (Rotoworld) FOX Sports' Jay Glazer reports that the Steelers will try out free agent QBs Patrick Ramsey and Todd Bouman. Analysis: They may not sign either, but at some point may decide to place Charlie Batch (wrist surgery) on injured reserve. Working out Ramsey, 30, and Bouman, 37, allows the Steelers' scouting department to update their emergency list. | 1 hour | |
| 16. | Daunte Culpepper | (RotoWire) Culpepper's teammate, Matthew Stafford, will start Thursday's game against the Packers. Analysis: Stafford was looking pretty doubtful heading into the game, so Culpepper will have keep loose in the event that Stafford experiences too much discomfort or suffers a setback with his injured left (non-throwing) shoulder Thursday. | 1 hour | |
| 17. | Haynos better with Fasano back? | (Rotoworld) Dolphins offensive coordinator Dan Henning admits that Joey Haynos' effectiveness decreased when Anthony Fasano (hip) was out of the lineup. Analysis: Henning was probably referring to Haynos' blocking, which is a work in progress. During the two games that Fasano missed, Haynos caught three balls in one game and was held to no catches in another. His size (6'8/270) is enticing, but Haynos has a long way to go. | 1 hour | |
| 18. | Ko Simpson | (RotoWire) Simpson (knee) has been placed on IR by the Lions. Analysis: Marvin White will fill in Simpson -- who finished up the season with 30 tackles and an interception in eight games -- starting with Thursday's contest. | 1 hour | |
| 19. | Stafford to start against Green Bay | (TheHuddle) The NFL Network and Fox Sports reports Detroit Lions QB Matthew Stafford (knee, shoulder) will start against the Green Bay Packers Thursday, Nov. 26. Analysis: Very surprising move and there's no telling how long he'll last with a separated non-throwing shoulder. If you need him this week be very cautious. WR Calvin Johnson will also start today for the Lions. | 1 hour | |
| 20. | Will Davis | (RotoWire) The Cardinals are hopeful that Davis (right knee) will be able to play again this season, the Arizona Republic reports. Analysis: He is expected to miss four-to-six weeks after undergoing surgery to repair a torn meniscus. Arizona is going to try to keep a roster spot for Davis in the hope that he will be able to return for the end of the regular season and/or the playoffs. This is a vote of confidence for Davis, a rookie that is showing marked improvement. He has two sacks in his last three games and he has also been valuable on special teams. | 1 hour | |
| 21. | Derrick Williams | (RotoWire) Williams is inactive for Thursday's game against the Packers. Analysis: The third-rounder has been limited to just five catches for 47 yards in six games thus far, so he has much to prove before he is on anyone's fantasy radar. | 1 hour | |
| 22. | Lions inactives for Week 12 | (FFChamps) The Detroit Lions have announced the following players as inactive for today's game against the Green Bay Packers: QB Drew Stanton, DE Dewayne White, S Kalvin Pearson, WR Derrick Williams, FB Terrelle Smith, OLB Ernie Sims, C Melvin Fowler, and T Ephraim Salaam. Analysis: Shockingly, Matthew Stafford and Calvin Johnson are both active and will start in today's Thanksgiving Day game against the Packers even though neither of them practiced this week. Without either of them, the Lions had next to no chance in this game. Now that they're both... (More) | 1 hour | |
| 23. | Louis Delmas | (RotoWire) Delmas (ankle) is active for Thursday's game against the Packers. Analysis: It looks safe to roll with Delmas (who has 55 tackles, a pick and sack in nine games) Thursday if he is one of your IDPs. | 1 hour | |
| 24. | Packers inactives for Week 12 | (FFChamps) The Green Bay Packers have announced the following players as inactive for today's game against the Detroit Lions: T/G Allen Barbre, CB Josh Bell, RB Ahman Green, WR Biren Ealy, FB Quinn Johnson, T Mark Tauscher, T Breno Giancomini, DE Jarius Wynn, S Matt Giordano, and OLB Aaron Kampman. Analysis: As expected Aaron Kampman is inactive and will be a big loss on the Packers defense. With Barbre out, that will be another hole at offensive line for Packers which has given up a league-leading 43 sacks. | 1 hour | |
| 25. | Kevin Smith | (RotoWire) Smith (hip) is active for Thursday's game against the Packers. Analysis: Smith is averaging just 3.5 yards per carry and hasn't scored since Week 4, but on the plus side he's had at least 12 carries in each of the 10 games he has played this season. | 1 hour | |
| 26. | Matt Bryant | (RotoWire) Bryant and Mike Nugent will work out for the Cardinals on Thursday because Arizona's kicker (Neil Rackers) is nursing a groin injury, the team's official site reports. Analysis: The Cardinals are optimistic that Rackers will be able to play on Sunday, but they're concerned enough to arrange this tryout as a backup plan. | 1 hour | |
| 27. | Lions | Megatron active for Week 12 | (KFFL) The NFL Network reports Detroit Lions WR Calvin Johnson (hand, knee) is active for the team's Week 12 game against the Green Bay Packers. | 1 hour | |
| 28. | Alex Barron drawing penalties | (Rotoworld) Rams LT Alex Barron has been the most penalized player in the league this season. Analysis: He's actually tied with Bills LT Demetrius Bell with 10 penalties, but Barron's 10 have cost the Rams 50 yards. Bell's have only cost Buffalo 32. Barron has always been a false start machine, which won't help his stock on the 2010 free agent market. He was also benched for a game in early October. | 1 hour | |
| 29. | Mike Nugent | (RotoWire) Nugent and Matt Bryant will work out for the Cardinals on Thursday because Arizona's kicker (Neil Rackers) is nursing a groin injury, the team's official site reports. Analysis: The Cardinals are optimistic that Rackers will be able to play on Sunday, but they're concerned enough to arrange this tryout as a backup plan. | 1 hour | |
| 30. | Charles Woodson | (RotoWire) Woodson (hip) is active for Thursday's game against the Lions. Analysis: Feel free to roll with the playmaking Woodson (47 tackles, one sack, three forced fumbles and five interceptions in 10 games) as you normally would. | 1 hour | |
| 31. | Neil Rackers | (RotoWire) Because of Rackers' groin injury, the Cardinals have invited veteran kickers Mike Nugent and Matt Bryant for a Thursday tryout, the team's official site reports. Analysis: The Cardinals are still hopeful that Rackers will be able to play on Sunday, but this is an indication that his injury is more significant than previously believed. He was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice. | 1 hour | |
| 32. | Ryan Grant | (RotoWire) Grant (neck) is active for Thursday's game against the Lions. Analysis: The 2-8 Lions have a pretty giving defense, setting Grant and the Packers' offense up for what looks like a pretty good holiday matchup Thursday. | 1 hour | |
| 33. | Ahman Green | (RotoWire) Green (groin) is inactive for Thursday's game against the Lions. Analysis: Brandon Jackson will once again handle the duties as the Packers' No. 2 back this week. | 1 hour | |
| 34. | Lions declare inactives | (Rotoworld) Lions declared WR Derrick Williams, S Kalvin Pearson, FB Terrelle Smith, LB Ernie Sims, C Melvin Fowler, OT Ephraim Salaam, and DE Dewayne White inactive for Thursday's game against Green Bay. Analysis: White's loss is the biggest blow here. He is the Lions' best all-around defensive end. DeAndre Levy will start at weak-side linebacker, as he has been for several weeks. Dennis Northcutt will be Detroit's third receiver. | 1 hour | |
| 35. | Packers declare inactives | (Rotoworld) Packers declared RB Ahman Green, WR Biren Ealy, CB Josh Bell, S Matt Giordano, T Breno Giacomini, T Allen Barbre, LB Aaron Kampman, and DE Jarius Wynn inactive for Thanksgiving Day. Analysis: Brandon Jackson is the third-down back behind Ryan Grant. Mark Tauscher and Chad Clifton will start at the tackles. Kampman will go on I.R. next week. | 2 hours | |
| 36. | Fargas to get his work? | (Rotoworld) Raiders beat writer Jerry McDonald says to "go ahead and assume" Justin Fargas will get 10 carries or more against the Cowboys Thursday. Analysis: We still don't know who will start for the Raiders, but McDonald says that Michael Bush may have moved to the back of the line thanks to his fumble last week. Darren McFadden could get the nod, but avoid this situation Thursday. | 2 hours | |
| 37. | Calvin Johnson | (RotoWire) Johnson (knee) is listed as active for Thursday's game against the Packers. Analysis: It's uncertain how close to 100 percent Johnson is, but the Lions' top wideout is out there starting and surprisingly will have Matthew Stafford throwing to him Thursday. | 2 hours | |
| 38. | Matthew Stafford | (RotoWire) Stafford (non-throwing shoulder) will start Thursday's game against the Packers, according to the Lions' press box. Analysis: Daunte Culpepper is on hand should Stafford suffer a setback, but he's giving it a go despite having headed into the game listed as doubtful. | 2 hours | |
| 39. | Calvin Johnson, Matt Stafford will both ... | (Rotoworld) Calvin Johnson and Matthew Stafford are both in the starting lineup for Thursday's game against Green Bay. Analysis: Both players appeared likely to sit this one out after missing practice all week. Stafford was even listed as doubtful on the injury report. Get Johnson into fantasy lineups immediately. While the Packers' pass rushers will probably gun for Stafford's dislocated left arm, he gives Johnson a much better chance for a big fantasy day than Daunte Culpepper ever could have. | 2 hours | |
| 40. | Lions | Stafford to start against Green Bay | (KFFL) Michael Lombardi, of The NFL Network, reports Detroit Lions QB Matthew Stafford (knee, shoulder) will start against the Green Bay Packers Thursday, Nov. 26. | 2 hours | |
| 41. | Matthew Stafford to start against GB | (Rotoworld) Matthew Stafford will start Sunday against the Packers. Analysis: Stafford is quickly earning a rep as one of the toughest players in the league. While he's only a QB2 play against the Packers' No. 7 pass defense, he makes Calvin Johnson and Kevin Smith much better fantasy gambles. | 2 hours | |
| 42. | Foster to start first NFL game | (Rotoworld) Ramon Foster will make his first NFL start against the Ravens Sunday. Analysis: Foster is filling in at left guard for Chris Kemoeatu, who has a sprained knee. It's an obvious downgrade for the Steelers as Foster struggled in pass protection last week after Kemoeatu went down. Ben Roethlisberger (concussion) needs to be careful Sunday night. | 2 hours | |
| 43. | Brandon Jacobs to 'carry the load' | (Rotoworld) Brandon Jacobs "will have to carry the load" Thursday at Denver, according to FOX Sports' John Czarnecki. Analysis: Czarnecki says Danny Ware will be the "nickel running back," or strictly a third-down player. The Giants probably won't entrust Ware with much work considering he's touched the football four times all year. Jacobs has a terrific matchup against a Broncos run defense that's falling apart. He's an RB1. | 2 hours | |
| 44. | Report: Jimmy Clausen to enter 2010 NFL ... | (Rotoworld) Citing sources, ESPN's Joe Schad reports that Notre Dame QB Jimmy Clausen will enter the 2010 NFL Draft. Analysis: Clausen's mind is probably already made up as the Irish head to Stanford for their regular season finale. Schad says Clausen's NFL stock is on the rise thanks to his quick release, pinpoint accuracy (67.3% completions), and improved footwork as a third-year junior. Charlie Weis hasn't proven to be the answer at Notre Dame, but his pro-style system also helps Clausen's case. | 2 hours | |
| 45. | Report: Witten is expected to start Thur... | (Rotoworld) FOX Sports' John Czarnecki reports that Jason Witten (questionable, foot) "is expected to start" Thursday against Oakland. Analysis: It's just unclear how healthy Witten is and we'd still double check the pregame inactives. Foot sprains are often multi-week injuries. He isn't running downfield routes this season, and any lower-body injuries will further discourage playcaller Jason Garrett from using Witten as a seam stretcher. As usual, Witten will probably catch 3-5 balls around the line of scrimmage and block when the Cowboys are in goal-to-go situations. | 2 hours | |
| 46. | Vincent Jackson | (RotoWire) Jackson is awaiting the result of X-rays on his ribs, but said he is planning on playing Sunday against the Chiefs, the San Diego Union-Tribune reports. Analysis: We should have a much better idea of where Jackson is at on Friday once the Chargers release their official Week 12 injury report. | 2 hours | |
| 47. | Mora confirms Jones will start if he can... | (Rotoworld) Seahawks coach Jim Mora confirmed that Julius Jones (ribs, lung) will start if he can play Sunday. Analysis: Mora admitted that Jones' conditioning will be an issue if he does get on the field. Jones missed practice on Wednesday and could come down to a game-time decision in a 1 p.m. ET start. Justin Forsett will be ready to step in against the Rams' porous rush defense if Jones can't go. | 2 hours | |
| 48. | James Anderson | (RotoWire) Season-ending injuries to Thomas Davis and Landon Johnson have thrust Anderson into a starting linebacker role. Analysis: See how he does against the Jets this week, but Anderson could be worth a pickup if he can come close to matching Davis' production. | 2 hours | |
| 49. | Tarell Brown | (RotoWire) Brown (knee) could lose his starting left cornerback spot on Sunday when the 49ers play the Jaguars at home, the San Francisco Chronicle reports. Analysis: Brown had two major gaffes in the 49ers' Week 11 game which resulted in a pair of touchdowns for the Packers offense. If coach Mike Singletary decides to make the change, Brown will be replaced by veteran Dre Bly. Bly has not started a game for the 49ers this season but has notched 111 starts in 161 regular season games. | 2 hours | |
| 50. | Bucs want to see what they have in Stova... | (Rotoworld) Bucs offensive coordinator Greg Olson said the team knows they need to see what they have in Maurice Stovall because the receiver's contract is up after this season. Analysis: Assuming there is no CBA agreement, Stovall will be an unrestricted free agent. Antonio Bryant is back and starting, but look for Stovall to rotate in plenty down the stretch. He's a talented and big target which should help rookie quarterback Josh Freeman. | 2 hours | |
| 51. | Calvin Johnson | (RotoWire) The Lions plan to work Johnson (knee) out before the team's Thanksgiving tilt against the Packers to determine his availability for the game. Analysis: ESPN's Adam Schefter says he has a "hunch" that Johnson won't go, but this looks like a true game-time decision, with the odds perhaps slightly tilted against him. More on his status as kickoff approaches. | 2 hours | |
| 52. | Cards to work out Nugent, Bryant | (TheHuddle) Adam Schefter, of ESPN, reports the Arizona Cardinals are scheduled to work out free-agent PKs Mike Nugent and Matt Bryant Thursday, Nov. 26, according to a league source. However, it is more of a precaution with PK Neil Rackers injured. Rackers is expected to be able to kick in Week 12. Analysis: It's worth keeping an eye on the situation, as you can ill afford to take a goose egg from your fantasy kicker. | 2 hours | |
| 53. | Haynesworth misses practice Wednesday | (TheHuddle) NFL.com reports Washington Redskins DT Albert Haynesworth missed the team's practice Wednesday, Nov. 25. Analysis: Haynesworth has been outstanding when healthy, but--just as in Tennessee--part of the problem is keeping him on the field. | 2 hours | |
| 54. | Dawkins expected to play Thursday | (TheHuddle) The Associated Press reports Denver Broncos head coach Josh McDaniels said FS Brian Dawkins should play in Week 12 Thursday, Nov. 26. Analysis: At this juncture the Broncos could use all the help they can get to stop the losing skid. | 2 hours | |
| 55. | Benson limited Wednesday | (TheHuddle) Correcting a previous report, The Associated Press reports Cincinnati Bengals RB Cedric Benson was limited in practice Wednesday, Nov. 25, and is "very close" to being able to play in Week 12. Analysis: This is good news for Bengals fans and Benson owners, as Cincy has a date with the abysmal Browns' run defense this week. However, there's a difference between "very close" to being able to play and actually playing, so we'll track Benson's practice status the rest of the way. Keep Bernard Scott on speed dial just in case. | 2 hours | |
| 56. | Witten will play Thursday | (TheHuddle) Updating previous reports, NFL.com reports Dallas Cowboys TE Jason Witten will play in the team's Week 12 game Thursday, Nov. 26, according to the NFL Network's Michael Lombardi. Analysis: That's good news. It would be great news if Witten were putting up anything close to his numbers from last year; instead, he's at best a borderline fantasy play this week against a sound Raiders pass defense. | 2 hours | |
| 57. | J. Lewis limited Wednesday | (TheHuddle) NFL.com reports Cleveland Browns RB Jamal Lewis was limited in practice Wednesday, Nov. 25. Analysis: Jamal has been ceding carries to Chris Jennings of late, and since he's short-timing it with a Browns' team that is clearly in rebuilding mode it wouldn't be at all surprising to see him continue to lose touches regardless of his injury status. | 2 hours | |
| 58. | Cartwright will be feature back | (Rotoworld) Redskins coach Jim Zorn confirmed that Rock Cartwright will be the feature back this week, with Quinton Ganther and Marcus Mason also rotating in. Analysis: It's not a coincidence that Cartwright was a special teamer for his entire career. He's not that talented, but he runs hard and it very motivated to prove he can handle this opportunity. Look for about 15 touches out of Cartwright Sunday against the Eagles, making him a solid flex play. | 2 hours | |
| 59. | Andrews needs another back surgery | (Rotoworld) Eagles RT Shawn Andrews needs another surgery on his back. Analysis: Andrews has been on injured reserve for the entire season, allowing Winston Justice to step in and take his job. It's unclear if/when Andrews will be able to play football again, but it probably won't be with the Eagles. He's one of the most talented linemen in the league but frustrated the team with injuries and apparent lack of motivation. | 3 hours | |
| 60. | Chambers admits he wants to get back at ... | (Rotoworld) Chris Chambers admitted that he's still upset about the way his Chargers' career ended and he will play this week's game with a chip on his shoulder. Analysis: Chambers said the writing was on the wall about Malcom Floyd taking over and he wished the Chargers had told him before the season. But the truth is the Chargers probably didn't think Chambers could still do what he's doing now. Chambers already has five catches of 20 yards or more in three games with the Chiefs. He's a WR3/flex play in his revenge game Sunday. | 3 hours | |
| 61. | Smith still looking for first action | (Rotoworld) Andre Smith has been taking part in full-contact workouts for four weeks but has still not been active for a game all season. Analysis: Smith in shape after a month of practice -- we think. His season was derailed by a holdout and then a broken foot. The No. 6 overall pick in the draft is still a third-stringer. | 3 hours | |
| 62. | Roethlisberger, Ben | Pit | (SportsGrumblings) Big Ben practices, expects to start against Ravens Analysis: Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger has practiced despite sustaining a concussion against Kansas City and is expected to play Sunday in Baltimore.<p> While Roethlisberger went through a usual Wednesday practice, second-year quarterback Dennis Dixon took more snaps than usual. Dixon moved up the depth chart when backup Charlie Batch broke his left wrist during the 27-24 loss to the Chiefs. (AP) | 4 hours | |
| 63. | Suggs limps through locker room | (Rotoworld) Terrell Suggs (sprained MCL) was noticeably limping as he walked through the locker room Wednesday. Analysis: The Ravens haven't ruled him out for Sunday's game against the Steelers, but he'll almost certainly sit out. Coach John Harbaugh said Suggs doesn't have to practice to play and added that "he's getting close." Look for Suggs to target next Week's Monday nighter against the Packers for his return. | 4 hours | |
| 64. | Lewis admits his foot is a problem | (Rotoworld) Ray Lewis admitted that he aggravated his foot/ankle injury and it bothered him against the Colts last week. Analysis: Lewis was noticeably grimacing and had a slight limp in his stride. He wasn't as quick to the ball and even missed a clear one-on-one tackle on Joseph Addai at the goal line. Lewis isn't in danger of missing any time, but he's not close to 100 percent. That's good news for Rashard Mendenhall this week. | 4 hours | |
| 65. | McFadden back at practice | (Rotoworld) Cardinals CB Bryant McFadden (knee) returned to practice Wednesday. Analysis: McFadden left last week's win over the Rams early and did not return, but it's just a contusion. He's good to go. | 4 hours | |
| 66. | Kendall Simmons | (RotoWire) Simmons, signed as a free agent on Tuesday, will start for the Bills at right guard this weekend, The Buffalo News reports. Analysis: While Simmons is quite capable when healthy, the fact that a guy signed on Tuesday is good enough to start five days later shows just what a mess this line has become. They'll now line up as follows: LT Jonathan Scott, LG Andy Levitre, C Geoff Hangartner, RG Simmons, RT Kirk Chambers. Based on all the injuries and inexperience, this might be the worst O-Line in the league right now, not good news for owners of Bills skill players. | 4 hours | |
| 67. | Warner passed tests, took normal reps | (Rotoworld) Kurt Warner passed all his neurological tests and took his normal reps at Wednesday's practice. Analysis: The Cardinals aren't officially saying that Warner will start in Week 12, but barring a setback he will. He said he still feels some tightness in his neck and may wear a helmet with added protection. Warner is a mid-level QB1 against the Titans this week. | 4 hours | |
| 68. | Sutton moves past Goodson | (Rotoworld) Tyrell Sutton has moved ahead of Mike Goodson on the Panthers' depth chart. Analysis: It doesn't say a lot for Goodson to lose out to an undrafted rookie, but Sutton can play. He's a good pass-catcher and the Panthers even used Sutton (5'8/213) at fullback in an emergency during the Week 9 loss to the Saints. | 4 hours | |
| 69. | Anderson ready to go on weak side | (Rotoworld) Panthers LB James Anderson is getting ready to start on the weak side against the Jets this week. Analysis: The Panthers have lost both Thomas Davis and Landon Johnson for the season, thrusting Anderson into a starting role. The special teamer is expected to pair with Jon Beason and Dan Connor if Na'il Diggs (ribs) can't go. Thomas Jones is a borderline RB1 this week. | 4 hours | |
| 70. | Chris Brown | (RotoWire) With Steve Slaton nursing a sore shoulder, Brown could get the start this weekend against the Colts, the Houston Chronicle reports. Analysis: Slaton didn't practice on Wednesday because of the shoulder, but was able to do some running and rehab. He is expected to play Sunday, but Brown remains on standby if he needs to play a big role in the running game. Brown had a season-high 11 carries in Monday's loss to the Titans. | 4 hours | |
| 71. | Jackson waiting for X-rays | (Rotoworld) Vincent Jackson is waiting for the results of X-rays on his ribs. Analysis: It sounds like the X-rays are just a precaution as V-Jax says he's going to play. Keep an eye on the situation, but leave fantasy football's No. 5 receiver in your lineups for now. | 4 hours | |
| 72. | Brown to start against Colts? | (Rotoworld) Texans beat writer John McClain speculates that Chris Brown could start against the Colts Sunday. Analysis: McClain adds that Brown could also get as many carries (11) as he did last week. He apparently thinks that because Steve Slaton (shoulder) missed practice Wednesday, but that injury is not known to be serious. No matter who starts, look for an even split in snaps between Slaton and Brown. | 5 hours | |
| 73. | Winfield plans on playing whole game | (Rotoworld) Antoine Winfield (foot) plans on returning to the lineup against the Bears Sunday. Analysis: "I plan on playing the whole game," he said. "Ain't no spot duty." Winfield has been out since injuring his foot against the Ravens in Week 7. His return will send Benny Sapp back to the bench and is a downgrade for Jay Cutler's matchup. | 5 hours | |
| 74. | Chase Blackburn | (RotoWire) Blackburn, who had three tackles and four assists last Sunday, is likely to start again at middle linebacker this week. Analysis: Jonathan Goff might be more in the mix, but we'd expect Blackburn to get most of the work. | 7 hours | |
| 75. | Cedric Benson could play in week 12, but will share carries | (FFToolbox) Cincinnati Bengals head coach Marvin Lewis said Wednesday that running back Cedric Benson is "very close" to playing in a game again and might be able to play against the Cleveland Browns this Sunday. Benson returned to practice Wednesday in limited fashion as he continues to recover from a hip injury. But even if Benson is healthy enough to play, rookie backup Bernard Scott is expected to get a lot of carries against Cleveland. Larry Johnson also could see more time on the fi... (More) | 9 hours | |
| 76. | Matthew Stafford doubtful, Calvin Johnson questionable for Thanksgiving Day | (FFToolbox) Not much has changed in the past couple of days for Detroit Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford and wide receiver Calvin Johnson. On Monday, Stafford wasn't expected to play in Thursday's game against Green Bay due to a shoulder injury while Johnson was expected to be a game-time decision. The team's official injury report has been released and it tells us as much. Stafford is listed as doubtful to play while Johnson is listed as questionable. Stafford separated his left, non-throwing shoulder late in Sunday's win against the Browns. John... (More) | 10 hours | |
| 77. | Kurt Warner expected to play after practicing Wednesday | (FFToolbox) Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kurt Warner went through a full practice on Wednesday and said he expects to play with no limitations Sunday against the Tennessee Titans. Warner said he passed the required mental tests on Tuesday after sustaining a concussion in Arizona's week 11 game against St. Louis. Warner plans to be cautious as he prepares through the week but as of Wednesday, all signs were good that he would make his 42nd consecutive NFL start. The 38-year-old Warner said he only has some stiffness in his neck at this point. Head coach Ken Whisenhunt said he wants to see how Warner reacts aft... (More) | 10 hours | |
| 78. | Michael Turner practices Wednesday | (FFToolbox) Warning to all Jason Snelling owners: Don't get too comfortable with him in your week 12 lineup just yet. Atlanta Falcons running back Michael Turner returned to practice on Wednesday for the first time since suffering a high ankle sprain during the team's week 10 game.

| 80. | Report: Mike Martz interested in Bills j... | (Rotoworld) According to ESPN's Tim Graham, NFL Network analyst Mike Martz has serious interest in becoming the next head coach of the Bills. Analysis: Bills owner Ralph Wilson is aiming a bit higher, but it's not surprising that Martz wants back in the league. A league source tells Graham that Martz is high on Trent Edwards (at least someone still is) and would be "thrilled" to get the position. Martz would have to instill confidence in Edwards as a downfield passer. Mad Mike's offense requires QBs to hang in the pocket. | 13 hours | |

| 85. | Spikes will be game-time decision for Sunday | (FFChamps) 49ers linebacker Takeo Spikes is recovering from a hamstring injury and will be a game-time decision for Sunday against Jacksonville. Spikes originally strained his left hamstring during the Week 10 game against the Bears and missed last week?s loss to the Packers. ?He is coming along,? head coach Mike Singletary told The Associate Press. ?We are hopeful, but we don?t know that yet. It will be a game-time decision.? Analysis: The 49ers could really use healthy bodies, especially on the defensive side.

| 86. | Bengals | Benson limited Wednesday | (KFFL) Correcting a previous report, The Associated Press reports Cincinnati Bengals RB Cedric Benson (hip) was limited in practice Wednesday, Nov. 25, and is "very close" to being able to play in Week 12. | 13 hours | |
| 87. | Orton practices Wednesday | (TheHuddle) Denver Broncos QB Kyle Orton (ankle) fully participated in practice Wednesday, Nov. 25. He should be able to play without limitations. Analysis: Denver has been in a tail spin the last few weeks and the injury to Kyle Orton has certainly played a part in the situation. With Orton now back on the practice field, fantasy owners should expect him back in action in Week 12 as a decent No. 2 quarterback with some upside. | 14 hours | |
| 88. | Benson misses practice Wednesday | (TheHuddle) Bengals.com reports Cincinnati Bengals RB Cedric Benson (hip) did not participate in practice Wednesday, Nov. 25. Analysis: It appears that the status on Benson is still up in the air at this point but it would be hard to imagine the Bengal starter to be available to play. Fantasy owners should tread with caution and expect Bernard Scott to once again get the opportunity to start against a weak Browns defense. Check back later on in the week to make sure that Benson's status does not get upgraded. | 14 hours | |
| 89. | Stafford misses practice Wednesday | (TheHuddle) The Detroit Free Press, reports Detroit Lions QB Matthew Stafford (knee, shoulder) did not participate in practice Wednesday, Nov. 25. He is listed as doubtful for Week 12. Analysis: Stafford has been solid for the Lions this season and certainly has the potential to be a huge part of this offense for many years to come. Despite everything it would be a surprise if Stafford was available to play in Week 12 due to his injury status and the short week of preparation. | 14 hours | |

| 91. | Cooley out for Week 12 | (TheHuddle) NFL.com reports Washington Redskins TE Chris Cooley (ankle) is out for the team's Week 12 game. Analysis: The news has not been good on Cooley out of the Redskins camp this week as it is rumored that he may not progressing as well as the team would have hoped for. It is looking more likley that he may miss the remainder of the season so stay tuned for more information on his status as it becomes available. Fred Davis will continue to start in Cooley's place in the offense at the present time. | 14 hours | |
| 92. | Breaston limited Wednesday | (TheHuddle) CBSSports.com reports Arizona Cardinals WR Steve Breaston (knee) was limited in practice Wednesday, Nov. 25. Analysis: Breaston had a dismal game in Week 11 as he was held without a catch in the contest. The injury that knocked Kurt Warner out of the game more than likely had as much to do with his lack of involvement than anything else. Fantasy owners should expect Breaston to rebound this week especially if Warner is available to play which appears likely at this point. | 14 hours | |
| 93. | Turner limited Wednesday | (TheHuddle) CBSSports.com reports Atlanta Falcons RB Michael Turner (ankle) was limited during the team's practice Wednesday, Nov. 25. Analysis: Turner continues to be limited due to his high ankle sprain and will likely be a gametime decision as the Falcons try to get their star runner back onto the field. Jerious Norwood appears to be ready to return to action and should get some carries along with Jason Snelling if Turner is out of action once again. | 14 hours | |
| 94. | R. Grant will start Week 12 | (TheHuddle) The Green Bay Press-Gazette, reports Green Bay Packers RB Ryan Grant (neck) is listed as probable for Week 12 and will start. Analysis: Grant has been solid all season for the Packers and should feast on the Lions defense on Thanksgiving Day. With the news promising out of Green Bay that he will play, fantasy owners should expect the talented runner to be a solid No. 1 running back this week. | 14 hours | |
