GLFFL's Ultimate Challenge News Articles |
| # | Headline | Summary | Published | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1. | Lions | Word-Daniels signed to active roster | (KFFL) John Niyo, of the Detroit News, reports the Detroit Lions have signed practice squad CB Jahi Word-Daniels to their active roster. Terms of the contract were not disclosed. | 2 minutes | |
| 2. | Lions | Simpson placed on IR | (KFFL) John Niyo, of the Detroit News, reports the Detroit Lions have placed FS Ko Simpson (knee) on Injured Reserve, ending his 2009 season. | 4 minutes | |
| 3. | Dolphins | A. Hartline signed to active roster | (KFFL) The Miami Dolphins have announced they have signed practice squad OT Andrew Hartline to their active roster. Terms of the contract were not disclosed. | 11 minutes | |
| 4. | Jets | Lowery, Strickland misses practice Wednesday | (KFFL) Rich Cimini, of the New York Daily News, reports New York Jets CB Dwight Lowery (ankle) and CB Donald Strickland (concussion) did not participate in practice Wednesday, Nov. 25. | 16 minutes | |
| 5. | Jets | Gholston practices Wednesday | (KFFL) Rich Cimini, of the New York Daily News, reports New York Jets LB Vernon Gholston (hamstring) participated in practice Wednesday, Nov. 25. | 17 minutes | |
| 6. | Albert Haynesworth | (RotoWire) Haynesworth (ankle) did not practice Wednesday. Analysis: Haynesworth missed last week's game with the injury and his status for Sunday could come down to a game-time decision, depending on his level of participation in practice the next two days. | 18 minutes | |
| 7. | Jason Snelling | (RotoWire) Michael Turner (ankle) returned to practice on Wednesday, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports. Snelling will take a back-up role if Turner is able to play on Sunday. Analysis: Turner was limited in practice, but Jerious Norwood (hip) participated in full on Wednesday. Snelling had more carries than Norwood when he was still healthy, so the Falcons may opt to keep him in a starting role regardless. That will not be the case if Turner is healthy, however. If you picked up Snelling last week, you had to be pretty pleased with his 76 yards and two scores against the Giants, but you may want to start looking elsewhere for a replacement with the way things are s...

| 8. | George Wilson | (RotoWire) Interim coach Perry Fewell plans to keep using Wilson as his strong safety, while using a rotation of Donte Whitner and Jairus Byrd at free safety, BuffaloBills.com reports. Analysis: This is great news for Wilson owners because Whitner can also play strong safety. While Wilson may see a few less plays with Whitner healthy again, it looks like he'll keep the starting job, something that's been supported by his strong play. In the six games he's started in 2009, Wilson has 52 tackles, two interceptions and two sacks. | 22 minutes | |
| 9. | Troy Polamalu | (RotoWire) Polamalu (knee) did not practice Wednesday, the Steelers' official site reports. Analysis: Polamalu remains unlikely to play Sunday against the Ravens, the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports. | 22 minutes | |
| 10. | Jeremy Maclin | (RotoWire) Maclin (foot) participated fully in Wednesday's practice, the Eagles' official site reports. Analysis: As usual, the Eagles list Maclin on the injury report despite his full participation in practice. He will be fine for Sunday's game against the Redskins. | 24 minutes | |
| 11. | Donte Whitner | (RotoWire) Interim coach Perry Fewell plans to use a rotation of Whitner and Jairus Byrd at free safety, BuffaloBills.com reports. Analysis: Whitner is healthy again after dealing with a high ankle sprain, but unless he gets a full-time job again he offers little IDP value. Whitner had just two tackles in last week's loss to Jacksonville. | 25 minutes | |
| 12. | Ben Roethlisberger | (RotoWire) Roethlisberger (head) practiced fully Wednesday, the Steelers' official site reports. Analysis: Big Ben had his bell rung in Week 11's game, but is reportedly symptom-free to the point that the Steelers did not pursue a veteran quarterback as insurance now that Charlie Batch is out, the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports. | 26 minutes | |
| 13. | Sheldon Brown | (RotoWire) Brown (hamstring) was limited in Wednesday's practice, the Eagles' official site reports. Analysis: Brown played through the injury last week, so he'll likely be able to go against the Redskins, but he's only worth considering in the deepest of IDP leagues. | 28 minutes | |
| 14. | Seahawks | Bryant will not practice Wednesday | (KFFL) Ryan Divish, of the Tacoma News Tribune, reports Seattle Seahawks DT Red Bryant (knee) will not participate in practice Wednesday, Nov. 25. He should be able to practice Thursday, Nov. 26, or Friday, Nov. 27. | 30 minutes | |
| 15. | Jairus Byrd | (RotoWire) Byrd, who leads the league with eight interceptions, was limited in Wednesday's practice because of a groin injury, the Associated Press reports. Analysis: This is probably going to bother him the rest of the season, though he should be able to play through it. It's worth noting that he was limited to passing downs last week, and that the Bills are so far out of the playoff chase that they could play it safe with their prized rookie should the pain start to worsen. Also, interim coach Perry Fewell told BuffaloBills.com on Wednesday that he plans to continue using a rotation of Byrd and Donte Whitner at free safety. You may want to start looking at other IDP opt... (More) | 31 minutes | |
| 16. | Asante Samuel | (RotoWire) Samuel (neck) did not practice Wednesday, the Eagles' official site reports. Analysis: Samuel strained his neck in Sunday's win over the Bears, but he's reportedly been feeling well this week and should be able to play Sunday against the Redskins. Check back later in the week if you plan to use him. | 31 minutes | |
| 17. | Dolphins | Fasano practices in full Wednesday | (KFFL) Edgar Thompson, of The Palm Beach Post, reports Miami Dolphins TE Anthony Fasano (hip) practiced in full Wednesday, Nov. 25. | 32 minutes | |
| 18. | Seahawks | Wilson cleared to practice | (KFFL) Ryan Divish, of the Tacoma News Tribune, reports Seattle Seahawks CB Josh Wilson (concussion) has been cleared to practice and will be able to return to the starting lineup Week 12. | 32 minutes | |
| 19. | Dolphins | Three practice in full Wednesday | (KFFL) Edgar Thompson, of The Palm Beach Post, reports Miami Dolphins OG Justin Smiley (shoulder), LB Erik Walden (hamstring) and DL Paul Soliai (ankle) practiced in full Wednesday, Nov. 25. | 32 minutes | |
| 20. | Dolphins | Grove, Dotson miss practice Wednesday | (KFFL) Edgar Thompson, of The Palm Beach Post, reports Miami Dolphins C Jake Grove (ankle) and DL Lionel Dotson (undisclosed) did not practice Wednesday, Nov. 25. | 33 minutes | |
| 21. | Michael Adams | (RotoWire) Adams' teammate Bryant McFadden (knee) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice and he should be okay to play on Sunday, the Cardinals' official site reports. Analysis: Adams saw a lot of playing time in McFadden's stead last week, but he will probably return to his customary reserve role this week. | 33 minutes | |
| 22. | Akeem Jordan | (RotoWire) Jordan (knee) did not practice Wednesday, the Eagles' official site reports. Analysis: Jordan has missed two straight games with the injury and could sit out another if he's not able to return to practice soon. | 33 minutes | |
| 23. | Bryant McFadden | (RotoWire) McFadden (knee) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice and he should be okay to play on Sunday, the Cardinals' official site reports. Analysis: Despite a nagging ankle injury and the more recent knee ailment, McFadden has been a good tackler this season and he should be in the Cardinals' starting lineup on Sunday. | 34 minutes | |
| 24. | Bertrand Berry | (RotoWire) Berry's teammate Will Davis will miss four-to-six weeks after undergoing surgery to repair a torn meniscus, the Cardinals' official site reports. Analysis: Davis seemed to surpass Berry on the depth chart in Week 11. Even though Davis is now sidelined, Berry still has plenty of competition for playing time. Chike Okeafor (back) hopes to return from a two-game absence this week and the Cardinals recently signed veteran Monty Beisel, so Berry should still play a part-time role off the bench. | 36 minutes | |
| 25. | Falcons | Turner returns to practice | (KFFL) The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports Atlanta Falcons RB Michael Turner (ankle) returned to practice Wednesday, Nov. 25. | 38 minutes | |
| 26. | Will Davis | (RotoWire) Davis will miss four-to-six weeks after undergoing surgery to repair a torn meniscus, the Cardinals' official site reports. Analysis: Obviously, reports that his injury is minor were inaccurate. Injured reserve is a possibility, though Davis has not yet been placed on IR. Arizona signed Monty Beisel to add depth in Davis' absence. | 38 minutes | |
| 27. | Matt Leinart | (RotoWire) Leinart's teammate Kurt Warner (head) took all of his normal reps during Wednesday's practice and he passed all of his medical tests on Tuesday, the Cardinals' official site reports. Analysis: Officially, Warner remains day-to-day. There is a good chance that he will start on Sunday and Leinart will serve as his backup. | 41 minutes | |
| 28. | Seahawks | J. Jones will not practice Wednesday | (KFFL) Greg Johns, of the Seattle Post-Intelligencer, reports Seattle Seahawks RB Julius Jones (lung) will not participate in practice Wednesday, Nov. 25. Head coach Jim Mora said Jones will start when he is able to return. | 42 minutes | |
| 29. | Steven Jackson | (RotoWire) Jackson sat out practice Wednesday because he was suffering spasms in his lower back, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports. "It's day-to-day," Jackson said. "Hopefully it'll release a little bit and allow me to practice." Analysis: Jackson said he is "expecting to play Sunday" against the Seahawks, but we'll certainly be watching this one closely over the next several days. If Jackson were to miss the game, Samkon Gado and Kenneth Darby would likely share the running back duties for St. Louis. | 42 minutes | |
| 30. | Kurt Warner | (RotoWire) Warner (head) took all of his normal reps during Wednesday's practice and he passed all of his medical tests on Tuesday, the Cardinals' official site reports. Analysis: Officially, he remains day-to-day, but this is very promising news. There is a good chance that Warner will start on Sunday at Tennessee. | 42 minutes | |
| 31. | Ravens | Webb has bruised thigh | (KFFL) Edward Lee, of The Baltimore Sun, reports Baltimore Ravens CB Lardarius Webb (thigh) suffered a bruised thigh in Week 11. Head coach John Harbaugh said that Webb, CBs Chris Carr and Frank Walker could start in place of CB Fabian Washington (knee). | 42 minutes | |
| 32. | Kyle Orton | (RotoWire) Orton, who has been receiving treatment on his sore ankle all week, said he will be ready to start Thursday's game against the Giants, the Denver Post reports. Analysis: After seeing him start Week 11's game on the sidelines and then finish it up in relief, we expect that Orton will be out there Thursday, barring an unexpected setback in warmups. | 47 minutes | |
| 33. | Browns | Roth claimed | (KFFL) ESPN's Adam Schefter reports the Cleveland Browns claimed free-agent LB Matt Roth (Dolphins) Wednesday, Nov. 25, according to agent Drew Rosenhaus. | 48 minutes | |
| 34. | Packers | Harris placed on IR | (KFFL) The Green Bay Packers have announced they have placed CB Al Harris (knee) on Injured Reserve, ending his 2009 season. | 52 minutes | |
| 35. | Packers | Harris to IR | (KFFL) Tom Pelissero, of the Green Bay Press-Gazette, reports the Green Bay Packers placed CB Al Harris (knee) on the Injured Reserve list Wednesday, Nov. 25. | 53 minutes | |
| 36. | Cardinals | W. Davis out 4-6 weeks | (KFFL) Darren Urban, of AZCardinals.com, reports Arizona Cardinals LB Will Davis (knee) will miss four to six weeks because of knee surgery. | 59 minutes | |
| 37. | Winslow limited in practice | (Rotoworld) Kellen Winslow (knee) was limited in Bucs practice Wednesday. Analysis: Winslow led the Bucs with 13 targets in Week 11 and will remain the team's featured receiver going forward. He will start Sunday against the Falcons. | 1 hour | |
| 38. | Eagles | Maclin practices in full Wednesday | (KFFL) Philadelphia Eagles WR Jeremy Maclin (foot) practiced in full Wednesday, Nov. 25. | 1 hour | |
| 39. | Eagles | Eight practice in full Wednesday | (KFFL) Philadelphia Eagles DL Victor Abiamiri (knee), OG Nick Cole (knee), FS Quintin Demps (ankle), SS Victor Harris (eye), OT Winston Justice (knee), DL Mike Patterson (wrist, toe), OT Jason Peters (ankle) and RB Leonard Weaver (ankle) practiced in full Wednesday, Nov. 25. | 1 hour | |
| 40. | Eagles | S. Brown limited Wednesday | (KFFL) Philadelphia Eagles CB Sheldon Brown (hamstring) was limited in practice Wednesday, Nov. 25. | 1 hour | |
| 41. | Eagles | Jordan, Samuel miss practice Wednesday | (KFFL) Philadelphia Eagles LB Akeem Jordan (knee) and CB Asante Samuel (neck) did not practice Wednesday, Nov. 25. | 1 hour | |
| 42. | Ryan Harris ruled out for Thanksgiving | (Rotoworld) Broncos RT Ryan Harris (toes) has been ruled out for Thanksgiving. Analysis: Struggling backup Tyler Polumbus will have his hands full Thursday night against Giants left end Justin Tuck. Harris' inactivity is more reason to avoid using Kyle Orton, who is already dealing with ligament damage in his ankle. | 1 hour | |
| 43. | Roethlisberger practices | (Rotoworld) Ben Roethlisberger (head) participated in Steelers practice Wednesday, as expected. Analysis: Coach Mike Tomlin said Tuesday that this was the plan for Big Ben all along. It wouldn't be at all surprising if Roethlisberger puts in a full practice week and is listed as probable Friday. He'll start on Sunday night. | 1 hour | |
| 44. | Cowboys | Five probable for Week 12 | (KFFL) Todd Archer, of The Dallas Morning News, reports Dallas Cowboys LB Keith Brooking (ankle), PK David Buehler (toe), LB DeMarcus Ware (foot), SS Gerald Sensabaugh (thumb) and CB Mike Jenkins (elbow, head) are all probable for the team's Week 12 game Thursday, Nov. 26. | 1 hour | |
| 45. | Cowboys | Barber probable for Week 12 | (KFFL) Todd Archer, of The Dallas Morning News, reports Dallas Cowboys RB Marion Barber III (thumb) is probable for the team's Week 12 game Thursday, Nov. 26. | 1 hour | |
| 46. | Buccaneers | Winslow limited Wednesday | (KFFL) Charlie Campbell and Jim Flynn, of PewterReport.com, report Tampa Bay Buccaneers TE Kellen Winslow (knee) was limited during practice Wednesday, Nov. 25. Head coach Raheem Morris said he believes Winslow will be able to play in Week 12. | 1 hour | |
| 47. | Jason Elam is Falcons' kicker 'right now... | (Rotoworld) Falcons coach Mike Smith gave K Jason Elam a semi-vote of confidence Wednesday, saying Elam is "our kicker right now." Analysis: Until he misses another kick. Elam, who turns 40 in March, is just 10-of-16 on three-point tries this season and has missed one PAT. Despite kicking in a dome for a potent offense, he's not good enough for fantasy consideration. | 1 hour | |
| 48. | Cowboys | Romo practices in full Wednesday | (KFFL) Todd Archer, of The Dallas Morning News, reports Dallas Cowboys QB Tony Romo (back) practiced in full for the first time this week Wednesday, Nov. 25, and is probable for the team's Week 12 game Thursday, Nov. 26. | 1 hour | |
| 49. | Buccaneers | Ruud limited Wednesday | (KFFL) Charlie Campbell and Jim Flynn, of PewterReport.com, report Tampa Bay Buccaneers LB Barrett Ruud (rib) was limited during practice Wednesday, Nov. 25. Head coach Raheem Morris said he believes Ruud will be able to play in Week 12. | 1 hour | |
| 50. | Jason Witten | (RotoWire) Witten (foot) is officially listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Raiders, the Dallas Morning News reports. Analysis: It was previously revealed that Witten would be a game-time decision on Thursday, so those looking to deploy him at tight end in Week 12 will have to wait until about an hour before kickoff to make a final decision. Martellus Bennett will be in line for an expanded role if Witten is unable to play, and he'd actually be a useful last-minute replacement if you're forced to turn to the waiver wire. | 1 hour | |
| 51. | Norwood looks poised to return | (Rotoworld) Jerious Norwood (hip) returned to a full practice on Wednesday. Analysis: Norwood is finally poised to return that's sidelined him since Week 6. Grab him in deeper leagues, but Jason Snelling will start Sunday against Tampa Bay. | 1 hour | |
| 52. | Bengals | Scott expected to see a lot of carries | (KFFL) The Associated Press reports Cincinnati Bengals RB Bernard Scott is expected to see a lot of carries in Week 12 even if RB Cedric Benson (hip) is able to start. | 1 hour | |
| 53. | Roddy White resumes practicing fully | (Rotoworld) Roddy White (knee) has resumed practicing in full. Analysis: He'll start against the Bucs. The matchup against Aqib Talib will be difficult, but White has beaten better corners in his career. The Falcons will likely also do their best to match White up with Ronde Barber and Elbert Mack. | 1 hour | |
| 54. | Sammy Morris | (RotoWire) Morris (knee) was present for the media portion of Wednesday's practice, the Boston Globe reports. Analysis: We'll follow Morris' status as the week rolls along, but a probable conclusion heading into the weekend is that he'll be a game-time decision for Monday's game against the Saints. | 1 hour | |
| 55. | Michael Turner returns for 'limited' pra... | (Rotoworld) Michael Turner (ankle) returned to Falcons practice on a "limited" basis Wednesday. Analysis: The development is promising for his chances of playing in Week 12, but coach Mike Smith's admission that Turner has "no timetable" for return means that he probably won't be ready to face the Bucs. Jerious Norwood (hip) did practice fully Wednesday, though Jason Snelling is very likely to be Atlanta's lead runner in the favorable matchup. Norwood hasn't played in six weeks. | 1 hour | |
| 56. | Jerious Norwood | (RotoWire) Norwood (hip) participated fully in Wednesday's practice, AtlantaFalcons.com's J. Michael Moore reports. Analysis: Michael Turner also returned to practice, though he was limited, so the Falcons' backfield will be one of the great unknowns heading into the weekend. Jason Snelling owners and Turner owners will especially need to keep a close eye on the situation before starting either of them against the Buccaneers. We'll update Norwood's and Turner's status after each day of practice this week. | 1 hour | |
| 57. | Randy Moss | (RotoWire) Moss (undisclosed reason) was not present for the media portion of Wednesday's practice, the Boston Globe reports. Analysis: So far there is nothing to suggest that Moss' Week 12 status is in any doubt, especially since he has been getting the occasional rest/maintenance day of late. | 1 hour | |
| 58. | Michael Turner | (RotoWire) Turner (ankle) was back at practice on Wednesday, D. Orlando Ledbetter of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports. Analysis: This bodes well for his chances of returning in Week 12, but we'll need to see how he progresses throughout the week before increasing our confidence in deploying him on Sunday. High ankle sprains are often a four-week injury for a running back, but Turner may be a quick healer. Jason Snelling will be on hold as his replacement for the second straight week depending on how things play out. | 1 hour | |
| 59. | Bengals | Benson expected to practice Wednesday | (KFFL) The Associated Press reports Cincinnati Bengals RB Cedric Benson (hip) is expected to practice this week and may be able to play in Week 12. | 1 hour | |
| 60. | Steelers | Batch undergoes surgery Wednesday | (KFFL) Scott Brown, of the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review, reports Pittsburgh Steelers QB Charlie Batch (wrist) underwent surgery Wednesday, Nov. 25, to repair a broken wrist. | 1 hour | |
| 61. | Broncos | Harris out for Week 12 | (KFFL) Mike Klis, of The Denver Post, reports Denver Broncos OL Ryan Harris (toe) has been ruled out for Week 12. He is set to return Dec. 6 against the Kansas City Chiefs. | 1 hour | |
| 62. | Rock Cartwright | (RotoWire) Coach Jim Zorn said Wednesday that Cartwright will start Sunday against the Eagles, but all three of the Redskins' running backs will play, the Washington Post's Rick Maese reports. Analysis: After Ladell Betts' injury last week, Cartwright got the bulk of the work (13 carries, seven receptions), with only three carries falling to Quinton Ganther. Ganther and Marcus Mason will probably receive a handful of opportunities, but Cartwright still deserves consideration as an RB2 in standard leagues. | 1 hour | |
| 63. | DeMeco Ryans | (RotoWire) Ryans (ankle) missed practice Wednesday, the Associated Press reports. Analysis: So far, Ryans' injury is being called minor and he is day-to-day. Ryans, who remains a solid IDP, is tied for 18th in the league with 74 tackles. | 1 hour | |
| 64. | Steelers | Roethlisberger practicing Wednesday | (KFFL) Scott Brown, of the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review, reports Pittsburgh Steelers QB Ben Roethlisberger (head) is participating in practice Wednesday, Nov. 25. He is practicing without a helmet so the team can ease him back into practice. The Steelers will continue to monitor Roethlisberger until the game. | 1 hour | |
| 65. | Jaguars | Patrick signed | (KFFL) Jaguars.com reports the Jacksonville Jaguars signed free-agent RB Allen Patrick (Giants) to their practice squad Wednesday, Nov. 25. Terms of the deal were not disclosed. | 1 hour | |
| 66. | Chiefs | K. Smith injured Week 11 | (KFFL) KCChiefs.com reports Kansas City Chiefs RB Kolby Smith (ankle) suffered an ankle sprain in Week 11, but was able to participate in practice Tuesday, Nov. 24, and looked to be running at full speed. | 1 hour | |
| 67. | Redskins | Portis still experiences blurry vision | (KFFL) Barry Svrluga, of The Washington Post, reports Washington Redskins RB Clinton Portis (concussion) said he still experiences blurry vision when he moves his head quickly but hopes to play in Week 13. Portis said he has met with six or seven doctors and has passed numerous tests but will not play until his vision is back to normal. | 1 hour | |
| 68. | Romo to be ready against Oakland | (Rotoworld) After practicing fully on Wednesday, Tony Romo (probable, back) said he'll "for sure" be ready to start against Oakland on Thanksgiving. Analysis: "We're improving each day and I think we'll be ready to go tomorrow for sure," Romo said. "I feel strongly that we're going to go out there and do what we normally do, so, yeah, I'm excited." It's still quite possible that Dallas will employ a run-heavy game plan against the Raiders' No. 30 rush defense. | 1 hour | |
| 69. | C. Johnson a game-day decision for Week 12 | (TheHuddle) The Detroit Free Press reports Detroit Lions head coach Jim Schwartz said WR Calvin Johnson (hand, knee) is improving but would be a game-day decision for the team's Week 12 game. Analysis: With the short week it doesn't look good for Megatron and could open the door for Bryant Johnson and Dennis Northcutt to see more balls thrown their way on Thursday. | 1 hour | |
| 70. | Witten participates in warmups Wednesday | (TheHuddle) ESPN.com reports Dallas Cowboys TE Jason Witten (foot) was on the field for the start of practice Wednesday, Nov. 25. However, head coach Wade Phillips said Witten remains a game-time decision for the team's Week 12 game Thursday, Nov. 26. "He's getting therapy and as many treatments as you can get and we'll see how he feels," Phillips said. "He's gone through both practices some, a limited amount and he moved around. We'll pick up the pace a little bit." Analysis: If Witten can't go on Thursday afternoon then talented backup Martellus Bennett would start in his spot. | 1 hour | |
| 71. | Ryan Grant probable for Week 12 | (TheHuddle) The Green Bay Press-Gazette reports Green Bay Packers RB Ryan Grant (neck) fully participated in practice Wednesday, Nov. 25. He is listed as probable for Week 12. Analysis: Good news for the Packers running attack, which should be in high gear Thursday against the porous Lions run defense. | 1 hour | |
| 72. | Texans | Wilson to undergo surgery | (KFFL) ESPN.com reports Houston Texans FS Eugene Wilson (foot) will undergo season-ending foot surgery. | 1 hour | |
| 73. | Texans | Busing to start | (KFFL) ESPN.com reports Houston Texans SS John Busing will start at free safety with FS Eugene Wilson (foot) out for the season. | 1 hour | |
| 74. | Packers | Barbre, Green doubtful for Week 12 | (KFFL) Tom Pelissero, of the Green Bay Press-Gazette, reports Green Bay Packers OT Allen Barbre (ankle) and RB Ahman Green (groin) did not participate in practice Wednesday, Nov. 25. They are listed as doubtful for Week 12. | 1 hour | |
| 75. | Packers | Kuhn probable for Week 12 | (KFFL) Tom Pelissero, of the Green Bay Press-Gazette, reports Green Bay Packers FB John Kuhn (hand) fully participated in practice Wednesday, Nov. 25. He is listed as probable for Week 12. | 1 hour | |
| 76. | Bengals plan to use Bernard Scott more? | (Rotoworld) Coach Marvin Lewis expanded Wednesday on his plan for the Bengals' backfield in Week 12. Analysis: "Bernard has earned an opportunity...to play," Lewis said. "He'll get some opportunities one way or the other. If Ced(ric Benson) is back and playing, Bernard will still play a considerable amount this week." A "considerable amount" could mean as few as six touches or as many as 15 with Benson in the lineup. Benson should still easily be the featured back if he plays. | 1 hour | |
| 77. | Benson expected to play | (FFChamps) Bengals running back Cedric Benson is expected to practice this week and return to action against the Browns this Sunday. He missed last week's game with a strained abductor muscle in his hip, however head coach Marvin Lewis tells the Associated Press that Benson "seems very close" to getting back on the field. Analysis: The Browns are terrible against the run, making Benson a great start in theory this weekend. However, the Bengals are going to be careful with him so you can expect to see a lot of Bernard Scott and perhaps even some More) | 2 hours | |
| 78. | Packers | Three defensive players probable for Week 12 | (KFFL) Tom Pelissero, of the Green Bay Press-Gazette, reports Green Bay Packers DE Johnny Jolly (back), DE Cullen Jenkins (ankle) and LB Brandon Chillar (hand) fully participated in practice Wednesday, Nov. 25. They are listed as probable for Week 12. | 2 hours | |
| 79. | Packers | Three offensive linemen probable for Week 12 | (KFFL) Tom Pelissero, of the Green Bay Press-Gazette, reports Green Bay Packers OT Chad Clifton (knee), OG Josh Sitton (back) and C Scott Wells (knee) fully participated in practice Wednesday, Nov. 25. They are listed as probable for Week 12. | 2 hours | |
| 80. | Kerry Rhodes due $2M roster bonus | (Rotoworld) Demoted Jets FS Kerry Rhodes is due a $2 million roster bonus in the offseason. Analysis: The bonus is guaranteed just for injury, so the Jets could conceivably cut him for "skill" purposes after Rhodes was benched. Beat writer Rich Cimini suggests that Rhodes' demotion was due to poor tackling in the team's Week 11 loss to New England. There are also "rumblings" that Rhodes is more focused on his acting and modeling career than on playing football. | 2 hours | |
| 81. | Witten on the practice field | (FFChamps) Cowboys injured tight end Jason Witten was on the practice field warming up in the portion of workouts open to the media today. "He's getting therapy and as many treatments as you can get and we'll see how he feels," head coach Wade Phillips told ESPN.com. "He's gone through both practices some, a limited amount and he moved around. We'll pick up the pace a little bit." Witten is still regarded as a game-time decision for Thursday's game against the Raiders. Analysis: It should be pointed out that Witten has only missed one game in his career, and that was as a rookie in 2003, so ... (More) | 2 hours | |
| 82. | Seahawks | Grant to play in Week 12 | (KFFL) Clare Farnsworth, of Seahawks.com, reports Seattle Seahawks SS Deon Grant (hand) will play in Week 12 and will use a cast to protect a damaged ligament in his hand and wrist. Grant will not need to undergo surgery at this time. | 2 hours | |
| 83. | Julius Jones to play in Week 12? | (Rotoworld) The Seahawks held Julius Jones (ribs, lung) out of Wednesday's practice, but coach Jim Mora reiterated that he expects Jones to play in Week 12. Analysis: "We're still expecting him to be ready to play," Mora said. The team's beat reporters also seem fairly confident that Jones will be available at St. Louis. His return would deal a sizable blow to Justin Forsett's start-ability in fantasy leagues. Jones gets virtually all of the Seahawks' red-zone carries. | 2 hours | |
| 84. | Packers | Woodson probable for Week 12 | (KFFL) Tom Pelissero, of the Green Bay Press-Gazette, reports Green Bay Packers CB Charles Woodson (hip) fully participated in practice Wednesday, Nov. 25. He is listed as probable for Week 12. | 2 hours | |
| 85. | Packers | Grant probable for Week 12 | (KFFL) Tom Pelissero, of the Green Bay Press-Gazette, reports Green Bay Packers RB Ryan Grant (neck) fully participated in practice Wednesday, Nov. 25. He is listed as probable for Week 12. | 2 hours | |
| 86. | Falcons | Elam dealing with technique issues | (KFFL) D. Orlando Ledbetter, of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, reports Atlanta Falcons PK Jason Elam admitted that he has been having some technique problems, which are responsible for his poor performance this year. "There are some technique issues that I've got to fix," Elam said. "I've gone back and looked at film from earlier in my career. I've looked at all kinds of stuff, trying to figure this out." | 2 hours | |
| 87. | Bradshaw ruled out | (FFChamps) Giants running back Ahmad Bradshaw has already been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Broncos because of his sprained left ankle. The Newark Star-Ledger reports he will not even make the trip to Denver for the game on Thanksgiving night. Bradshaw has also been playing through a cracked fifth metatarsal bone in his right foot.
