|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1. | Jaguars | Stephenson waived | (KFFL) CBSSports.com reports the Jacksonville Jaguars have waived OG Cameron Stephenson from the practice squad. | 12 minutes | |
| 2. | 49ers | Willis suffers from trapezius spasms Week 11 | (KFFL) CBSSports.com reports San Francisco 49ers LB Patrick Willis (shoulder) suffered from trapezius spasms Week 11. | 17 minutes | |
| 3. | Rams | Hope to get Incognito into lineup Week 12 | (KFFL) CBSSports.com reports St. Louis Rams OG Richie Incognito (foot) was sore after running Monday, Nov. 23. Head coach Steve Spagnuolo is hoping to get Incognito back into the lineup for Week 12. | 28 minutes | |
| 4. | Texans | J. Jones out for Week 11 | (KFFL) Nick Scurfield, of HoustonTexans.com, reports Houston Texans WR Jacoby Jones (calf) is out for the team's Week 11 game. WR Glenn Martinez will return punts for Jones, and WR Andre' Davis is expected to be the kickoff returner. | 36 minutes | |
| 5. | Calvin Johnson to sit out Thanksgiving g... | (Rotoworld) According to the Associated Press, Calvin Johnson (hand, knee) is "doubtful" to play on Thanksgiving against Green Bay. Analysis: The AP doesn't cite sources, but issued the report after coach Jim Schwartz's Monday presser. Schwartz "didn't sound optimistic" that Calvin would play on Thursday. Johnson wouldn't have practiced if the Lions held a workout Monday, which isn't an encouraging sign. Keep a close eye on Tuesday and Wednesday's practice reports. He'll likely be listed as questionable. | 45 minutes | |
| 6. | Romo limited in walkthrough | (Rotoworld) Tony Romo (back) was limited in the Cowboys' walkthrough Monday. Analysis: Romo experienced some stiffness in his back following Sunday's win over the Redskins, but he'll start on Thanksgiving. Dallas faces Oakland Thursday. | 51 minutes | |
| 7. | Rams | Null becomes backup | (KFFL) StLouisRams.com reports St. Louis Rams QB Keith Null will be the team's primary backup quarterback while QB Marc Bulger (tibia) is out of the lineup. | 52 minutes | |
| 8. | Rams | Boller to start Week 12 | (KFFL) StLouisRams.com reports St. Louis Rams QB Kyle Boller will start Week 12, replacing injured QB Marc Bulger (tibia). | 53 minutes | |
| 9. | Jason Witten misses walkthrough | (Rotoworld) Jason Witten was held out of the Cowboys' Monday walkthrough with a foot injury. Analysis: Dallas is preparing to play the Raiders on Thanksgiving. Witten didn't miss a snap in Week 11, so he's probably just dealing with some routine soreness a day after a game. Expect Witten to be active and start on Thursday. | 53 minutes | |
| 10. | Kyle Boller to start with Bulger out | (Rotoworld) Kyle Boller will be the Rams' starting quarterback with Marc Bulger (broken tibia) out 3-6 weeks. Analysis: Boller will likely be on a short leash with rookie Keith Null behind him on the depth chart. Null at least flashed in preseason, while Boller managed a paltry 5.59 YPA and 2:3 TD to INT ratio in three appearances earlier this season. The Rams face Seattle, Chicago, and a hot Tennessee team in their next three games. Grab Boller in two-QB leagues only if you're desperate. | 55 minutes | |
| 11. | Marc Bulger out 3-6 weeks with broken ti... | (Rotoworld) A Monday MRI revealed that Marc Bulger has a fracture in the upper part of his kneecap. He'll miss the next 3-6 weeks. Analysis: The injury is a "tibial plateau fracture," and with only six games left Bulger is a candidate for injured reserve. Kyle Boller is next on the depth chart, but the 1-9 Rams may as well see what rookie Keith Null can do if Boller struggles (likely). Boller wasn't good in two spot starts earlier this season. Bulger wasn't playing very well either, but had a better chance of getting the ball to Donnie Avery and Brandon Gibson. Both Rams wideouts take hits in value. | 1 hour | |
| 12. | Rams | Bulger out three to six weeks | (KFFL) StLouisRams.com reports St. Louis Rams QB Marc Bulger (tibia) will miss three to six weeks after an MRI revealed a broken tibia. It is not known if he will be placed on Injured Reserve. | 1 hour | |
| 13. | Seahawks | Bryant injured Week 11 | (KFFL) Danny O'Neil, of The Seattle Times, reports Seattle Seahawks DT Red Bryant (knee) suffered a knee sprain in Week 11 but should be able to play in Week 12. | 1 hour | |
| 14. | Seahawks | J. Jones expected to practice this week | (KFFL) Danny O'Neil, of The Seattle Times, reports Seattle Seahawks RB Julius Jones (lung) is expected to practice this week and return to the starting lineup Week 12. | 1 hour | |
| 15. | Seahawks | Wilson expected to practice this week | (KFFL) Danny O'Neil, of The Seattle Times, reports Seattle Seahawks CB Josh Wilson (concussion) is expected to practice this week and return to the starting lineup Week 12. | 1 hour | |
| 16. | 49ers | Have no interest in Rossum | (KFFL) Matt Maiocco, of the Santa Rosa Press Democrat, reports the San Francisco 49ers are not interested in signing free-agent CB Allen Rossum (Cowboys). | 1 hour | |
| 17. | Leigh Torrence | (RotoWire) Torrence (shoulder) was sent to the injured reserve after suffering a separated shoulder, the ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter reports via his Twitter account. Analysis: After seeing slew of injuries to Jabari Greer, Tracy Porter, and now Torrence, the Saints signed Mike McKenzie to help out their banged up secondary. | 1 hour | |
| 18. | Julius Jones to return from injury this ... | (Rotoworld) Seahawks coach Jim Mora said Monday that Julius Jones (ribs, lung) is expected to resume practicing this week. Analysis: Jones has damaged ribs and was bleeding from the lungs two Sundays ago, so we'll believe he's ready to play when we see it. Justin Forsett has earned a more substantial role with his production all season, and an 89-yard, one-score day in Week 11 at Minnesota. Averaging 5.5 YPC on the year, Forsett figures to remain the lead back at St. Louis in Week 12 if Jones isn't 100%. | 1 hour | |
| 19. | Giants | Pierce ruled out for Week 12 | (KFFL) Ralph Vacchiano, of the New York Daily News, reports New York Giants LB Antonio Pierce (neck) has been ruled out for Week 12, but might travel with the team for the game. | 1 hour | |
| 20. | Buccaneers | Carpenter signed | (KFFL) Rob Phillips, of DallasCowboys.com reports the Tampa Bay Buccaneers have signed QB Rudy Carpenter off the Dallas Cowboys' practice squad. Terms of the contract were not disclosed. | 1 hour | |
| 21. | Ben Roethlisberger | (RotoWire) Roethlisberger (concussion) is expected to start in Week 12 against Baltimore provided he passes his neurological testing, KDKA-TV in Pittsburgh reports. Analysis: The Steelers will have a better idea whether or not Roethlisberger can play on Sunday when coach Mike Tomlin speaks at his weekly press conference Tuesday afternoon. With Charlie Batch (wrist) out, Pittsburgh currently has only one quarterback, second-year man Dennis Dixon, on its roster. If Roethlisberger is not cleared to play against the Ravens, then the team might consider a veteran QB like Jeff Garcia. | 1 hour | |
| 22. | Matthew Stafford, Calvin Johnson could miss Thanksgiving Day game | (FFToolbox) Detroit Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford and wide receiver Calvin Johnson did more than their part to get the team a win Sunday against the Cleveland Browns. But it doesn't appear that one of Stafford's shoulders will be strong enough for him to play on Thanksgiving Day against the Green Bay Packers. Meanwhile, Johnson has hand and knee injuries that has his status for the game up in the air. Head coach Jim Schwartz said Stafford suffered an AC joint separation on the second-to-last play of Sunday's game. The AC joint connects the coll... (More) | 1 hour | |
| 23. | Broncos | Moreno, Marshall get into confrontation Week 11 | (KFFL) Lindsay H. Jones, of The Denver Post, reports Denver Broncos RB Knowshon Moreno and WR Brandon Marshall got into an altercation on the sidelines in Week 11 after Moreno lost a fumble into the end zone. Marshall bumped facemasks twice with Moreno before Moreno pushed him away. Both players downplayed the altercation saying it was a heat of the moment thing out of frustration. | 1 hour | |
| 24. | Ravens | F. Washington expected to miss rest of season | (KFFL) Updating a previous report, Edward Lee, of The Baltimore Sun, reports Baltimore Ravens CB Fabian Washington (knee) is expected to miss the rest of the season because of a torn anterior cruciate ligament. | 1 hour | |
| 25. | Steelers expect Roethlisberger to start | (Rotoworld) NFL.com's Jason La Canfora confirms that the Steelers expect Ben Roethlisberger (head) to play in Week 12. Analysis: La Canfora says it would take some "unforeseen and highly unlikely setback" to keep Roethlisberger from starting at Baltimore. "He'll be fine," a source added. Roethlisberger, facing an already weak Ravens defensive backfield, gets a slight matchup boost with CB Fabian Washington done for the year. | 1 hour | |
| 26. | Rashean Mathis ruled out | (Rotoworld) Jaguars CB Rashean Mathis (groin) has been ruled out for Week 12. Analysis: Jacksonville let Terrell Owens have a season-best, 197 yards without Mathis in Week 11. The Jags face San Francisco this Sunday without their top corner. | 2 hours | |
| 27. | Seahawks | Grant to see hand specialist | (KFFL) Danny O'Neil, of The Seattle Times, reports Seattle Seahawks SS Deon Grant (hand) will see a hand specialist Tuesday, Nov. 24, to have his hand evaluated. His status for Week 12 is uncertain. | 2 hours | |
| 28. | Lions confirm QB Stafford likely out Thu... | (Rotoworld) Updating a previous item, Lions coach Jim Schwartz admitted Monday that Matthew Stafford (left shoulder) is "unlikely" to play on Thanksgiving Day against the Packers. Analysis: Schwartz says tests confirmed that Stafford doesn't have a significant injury and that his non-throwing shoulder is structurally sound, but the short week doesn't give him enough time to prepare. NFL Network's Mike Lombardi and Nick Cotsonika of the Detroit Free Press both report that Stafford is unlikely to play. Daunte Culpepper is on track to make his third start of 2009. | 2 hours | |
| 29. | C. Johnson misses practice Monday | (TheHuddle) The Green Bay Press-Gazette reports Detroit Lions WR Calvin Johnson (hand, knee) did not practice Monday, Nov. 23. Analysis: Great. Just when you thought Megatron had successfully conquered his injury problems and was back to being a beast, this happens. When asked about Johnson's availability for Thursday's game, Lion head coach Jim Schwartz simply said, "We'll see." That's not exactly an encouraging sign. It appeared Johnson hurt himself on the last play of regulation when he was interfered with on Matthew Stafford's desperation heave to the end zone, but we don't have any concrete information on... (More) | 2 hours | |
| 30. | Lions | Four miss practice Monday | (KFFL) Packers.com reports Detroit Lions SS Kalvin Pearson (hamstring), FS Ko Simpson (knee), LB Ernie Sims (hamstring) and DL Dewayne White (toe) did not practice Monday, Nov. 23. | 2 hours | |
| 31. | Lions | K. Smith limited Monday | (KFFL) Packers.com reports Detroit Lions RB Kevin Smith (hip) was limited in practice Monday, Nov. 23. | 2 hours | |
| 32. | Lions | Seven limited Monday | (KFFL) Packers.com reports Detroit Lions DL Joe Cohen (ankle), FS Louis Delmas (ankle), LB Jordon Dizon (neck), LB Zack Follett (neck), DL Grady Jackson (knee), OT Daniel Loper (back) and WR Derrick Williams (hip) were limited in practice Monday, Nov. 23. | 2 hours | |
| 33. | Jets | Ryan to work with Sanchez | (KFFL) Rich Cimini, of the New York Daily News, report New York Jets head coach Rex Ryan said he will be closely working with QB Mark Sanchez in an effort to emphasize ball security. | 2 hours | |
| 34. | Jaguars sign DE Navarre | (Rotoworld) Jaguars signed DE Jeremy Navarre off their practice squad. Analysis: Navarre isn't explosive enough to help the Jags' lackluster pass rush. He'll be low on the depth chart behind starters Quentin Groves and Derrick Harvey. | 2 hours | |
| 35. | Packers | Jolly, Sitton limited Monday | (KFFL) Packers.com reports Green Bay Packers DL Johnny Jolly (back) and OG Josh Sitton (back) were limited in practice Monday, Nov. 23. | 2 hours | |
| 36. | Jaguars place DE Smith on I.R. | (Rotoworld) Jaguars placed DE Bryan Smith (shoulder) on injured reserve, ending his season. Analysis: The injury was announced as a shoulder "sprain," but was likely at least a dislocation. Smith was recently promoted to the starting lineup at right defensive end, despite having zero sacks on the year. He'll have a roster spot in 2010, but the Jags would do well to find a better first-team option. | 2 hours | |
| 37. | Packers | Grant limited Monday | (KFFL) Packers.com reports Green Bay Packers RB Ryan Grant (neck) was limited in practice Monday, Nov. 23. | 2 hours | |
| 38. | Packers | Chillar, Kuhn practice in full Monday | (KFFL) Packers.com reports Green Bay Packers LB Brandon Chillar (hand) and FB John Kuhn (hand) practiced in full Monday, Nov. 23. | 2 hours | |
| 39. | Packers | Six miss practice Monday | (KFFL) Packers.com reports Green Bay Packers OG Allen Barbre (ankle), OT Chad Clifton (knee), RB Ahman Green (groin), DL Cullen Jenkins (ankle), C Scott Wells (knee) and CB Charles Woodson (hip) did not practice Monday, Nov. 23. | 2 hours | |
| 40. | Stafford unlikely to play Week 12 | (TheHuddle) Updating a previous report, the Detroit Free Press reports Detroit Lions QB Matthew Stafford (shoulder) likely will not play in Week 12 after suffering an AC joint separation in his left shoulder in Week 11. Analysis: He probably wouldn't have played even if the Lions weren't on a short week. Daunte Culpepper will start in Stafford's place, and will probably continue to do so for at least another game or two. | 2 hours | |
| 41. | Orton practices in full Monday | (TheHuddle) ESPN.com reports Denver Broncos QB Kyle Orton (ankle) practiced in full Monday, Nov. 23, and appears on his way to starting against the New York Giants in Week 12 Thursday, Nov. 26. Analysis: The Broncos are now in "must-win" mode after their four-game collapse, as are the Giants. Normally we would say Orton and Brandon Marshall would be great starts with Denver at home, but the Broncos have been crushed in recent games against the Steelers and Chargers at Mile High. Orton's ankle is still a definite concern; he was rushed back into action last season when he was the Bears' quarterback, and the res... (More) | 2 hours | |
| 42. | Ryan Grant wouldn't have practiced | (Rotoworld) The Packers didn't hold a practice on Monday, but listed Ryan Grant (neck) as a would-be non participant had they worked out. Analysis: The "neck" designation is how the Packers are listing Grant's Week 11 stinger. Coach Mike McCarthy said following Sunday's win that the injury isn't serious, so Grant should be cleared to play against Detroit on Thanksgiving. | 2 hours | |
| 43. | Marc Bulger uncertain to play against Seahawks | (FFToolbox) St. Louis Rams quarterback Marc Bulger wasn't very effective Sunday against the Arizona Cardinals. So will backup QB Kyle Boller be any better against the Seattle Seahawks this week? We may find out since Bulger is nursing a number of injuries that could keep him out of action. Bulger suffered a strain to what head coach Steve Spagnuolo called his "groin-hamstring" area. Bulger also sustained a blow to the head. He will undergo tests for potential concussion Tuesday. Bulger also awoke Monday with swelling in his knee. He will under go an... (More) | 2 hours | |
| 44. | Jaguars | B. Smith to IR | (KFFL) Scout.com's Adam Caplan reports the Jacksonville Jaguars placed DL Bryan Smith (undisclosed) on the Injured Reserve list Monday, Nov. 23. | 2 hours | |
| 45. | Roethlisberger appears to be fine | (TheHuddle) The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports Pittsburgh Steelers QB Ben Roethlisberger (concussion) 'seems to be fine' after taking a blow to the head in Week 11, according to a source. He underwent tests Monday, Nov. 23, and appears to be fine to start in Week 12. Team officials are optimistic about Roethlisberger's health and will not pursue a veteran quarterback to serve as his backup with QB Charlie Batch (wrist) out. Instead, they will look to sign a young quarterback to add to their practice squad. QB Dennis Dixon will serve as Roethlisberger's backup. Analysis: Let's hope Roethlisberger is indeed fin... (More) | 2 hours | |
| 46. | Lions | C. Johnson misses practice Monday | (KFFL) Tom Pelissero, of the Green Bay Press-Gazette, reports Detroit Lions WR Calvin Johnson (hand, knee) did not practice Monday, Nov. 23. | 2 hours | |
| 47. | Lions | Culpepper could start Week 12 | (KFFL) Nicholas J. Cotsonika, of the Detroit Free Press, reports Detroit Lions QB Daunte Culpepper would start in Week 12 if QB Matthew Stafford (shoulder) were not able to play. | 2 hours | |
| 48. | Broncos | Jordan misses practice Monday | (KFFL) DenverBroncos.com reports Denver Broncos RB Lamont Jordan (back) did not practice Monday, Nov. 23. | 2 hours | |
| 49. | Torrence to injured reserve | (Rotoworld) Saints placed CB Leigh Torrence on injured reserve with a separated shoulder, ending his season. Analysis: Torrence, the Saints' No. 5 cornerback for most of the season, finishes up with 10 tackles and a half sack. The 27-year-old old is a favorite of defensive coordinator Gregg Williams, but the Saints' increased CB depth will put Torrence on the roster bubble if he's retained in restricted free agency. | 2 hours | |
| 50. | Panthers | Peppers' hand broken? | (KFFL) The Associated Press reports Carolina Panthers DL Julius Peppers (hand) may have a broken hand after being limited to mostly passing downs in Week 11. Head coach John Fox won't confirm that Peppers has a broken hand, but he was wearing a wrap during the game. The injury has also prevented him from wreaking havoc along the defensive line. | 2 hours | |
| 51. | Lions | Stafford unlikely to play Week 12 | (KFFL) Updating a previous report, Nicholas J. Cotsonika, of the Detroit Free Press, reports Detroit Lions QB Matthew Stafford (shoulder) likely will not play in Week 12 after suffering an AC joint separation in his left shoulder in Week 11. | 2 hours | |
| 52. | Rinehart, Chad | Wsh | (SportsGrumblings) Redskins OL Rinehart out for season Analysis: Coach Jim Zorn said Monday that Rinehart had surgery to repair a broken leg. Zorn said he will be placed on injured reserve.<p> Rinehart was hurt in Sunday's 7-6 loss to Dallas. (AP) | 2 hours | |
| 53. | Saints | Torrence to IR | (KFFL) ESPN's Adam Schefter reports the New Orleans Saints placed CB Leigh Torrence (undisclosed) on the Injured Reserve list Monday, Nov. 23. | 2 hours | |
| 54. | Giants | Pierce not practicing Monday | (KFFL) Ralph Vacchiano, of the New York Daily News, reports New York Giants LB Antonio Pierce (neck) is not participating in practice Monday, Nov. 23. | 2 hours | |
| 55. | Giants | Bradshaw not practicing Monday | (KFFL) Ralph Vacchiano, of the New York Daily News, reports New York Giants RB Ahmad Bradshaw (foot) is not participating in practice Monday, Nov. 23. | 2 hours | |
| 56. | Ferguson, Jason | Mia | (SportsGrumblings) Dolphins NT Jason Ferguson out for the season Analysis: Dolphins nose tackle Jason Ferguson is out for the season with a quadriceps injury.<p> Dolphins coach Tony Sparano on Monday confirmed the decision to place Ferguson on injured reserve and said he wasn't sure if Ferguson would need surgery. (AP) | 2 hours | |
| 57. | Kampman, Aaron | GB | (SportsGrumblings) Packers lose Kampman Analysis: Packers LB Aaron Kampman will miss the remainder of the season after injuring his knee against the 49ers yesterday. (AP) | 2 hours | |
| 58. | 49ers | A. Smith does not think offense should change | (KFFL) Gwen Knapp, of the San Francisco Chronicle, reports San Francisco 49ers QB Alex D. Smith said he does not think the team should change to the spread offense this late in the season even though they have had success in that offense in games earlier this season. | 2 hours | |
| 59. | Skins place Rinehart on injured reserve | (Rotoworld) Redskins placed G/T Chad Rinehart on injured reserve with a broken fibula, ending his season. Analysis: Rinehart made four starts at guard in his second year and was mostly ineffective. A third-round pick in 2008, he's made no obvious strides and is unlikely to return in 2010 with more than a substitute "swing" role on the team. | 2 hours | |
| 60. | Redskins | Rinehart, E. Williams to IR | (KFFL) ESPN's Adam Schefter reports the Washington Redskins placed OG Chad Rinehart (leg) and FB Eddie Williams (leg) on the Injured Reserve list Monday, Nov. 23. | 2 hours | |
| 61. | Redskins | Betts to IR | (KFFL) ESPN's Adam Schefter reports the Washington Redskins placed RB Ladell Betts (knee) on the Injured Reserve list Monday, Nov. 23. | 2 hours | |
| 62. | Redskins place RB Betts on injured reser... | (Rotoworld) Redskins placed RB Ladell Betts on injured reserve with a torn MCL and ACL, ending his season. Analysis: He'll need reconstructive knee surgery. Already lacking game-breaking speed, Betts isn't a sure thing to stay with the Skins in 2010 despite a manageable $1.65 million salary. He's also likely to miss all pre-training camp workouts. Washington needs to begin searching for a long-term replacement for declining Clinton Portis. At 31 next season, Betts isn't it. | 2 hours | |
| 63. | 49ers | Singletary does not think spread helped comeback | (KFFL) Matt Maiocco, of The Santa Rosa Press Democrat, reports San Francisco 49ers head coach Mike Singletary said he does not think the team using the shotgun formation and spreading the field was the reason for their comeback in Week 11. "I think that's a combination of a number of things," Singletary said. "Sometimes when you get behind, the defense is playing a different kind of defense. I think they relax a little bit. It's a different coverage. I think if you're in basic two-back set, you probably get the same result. But I think (QB Alex D. Smith) can throw the ball, and I think he can throw the ball well. I think our offensive line did a decent job. Onc... (More) | 2 hours | |
| 64. | Redskins | Mason, Fanaika signed | (KFFL) ESPN's Adam Schefter reports the Washington Redskins signed free-agent RB Marcus Mason (Redskins) and OG Paul Fanaika (Eagles) Monday, Nov. 23. Terms of the deals were not disclosed. | 3 hours | |
| 65. | Kyle Orton practices for Broncos on Mond... | (Rotoworld) Kyle Orton (ankle) participated in Broncos practice Monday. Analysis: Chris Simms got the start in Week 11, but was yanked after completing just 2-of-4 attempts for 10 yards. Orton came on to throw for 171 yards, no TDs, and a pick. Despite ligament damage in his ankle, Orton is being pushed to start against the Giants on Thanksgiving Day. He'd be a very poor QB1 play. | 3 hours | |
| 66. | Broncos | R. Harris misses practice Monday | (KFFL) Bill Williamson, of ESPN.com, reports Denver Broncos OT Ryan Harris (toe) did not practice Monday, Nov. 23, and has not played since Nov. 1. | 3 hours | |
| 67. | Broncos | Dawkins misses practice Monday | (KFFL) Bill Williamson, of ESPN.com, reports Denver Broncos FS Brian Dawkins (neck) did not practice Monday, Nov. 23, and is in danger of missing the team's Week 12 game Thursday, Nov. 26. | 3 hours | |
| 68. | Broncos | Orton practices in full Monday | (KFFL) Bill Williamson, of ESPN.com, reports Denver Broncos QB Kyle Orton (ankle) practiced in full Monday, Nov. 23, and appears on his way to starting against the New York Giants in Week 12 Thursday, Nov. 26. | 3 hours | |
| 69. | Bulger may not play in Week 12 | (TheHuddle) ESPN.com reports St. Louis Rams QB Marc Bulger (hamstring, head, knee) might not play against the Seattle Seahawks in Week 12 after suffering multiple injuries in Week 11. He suffered a strain to his 'groin-hamstring' area and a blow to the head. Bulger will undergo tests for a possible concussion Tuesday, Nov. 24. He also awoke Monday, Nov. 23, with swelling in his knee, and will undergo an MRI Monday. Analysis: It doesn't sound good for Bulger's availability. However, the only Ram worth serious Fantasy consideration anyway is Steven Jackson. And even though he was a little banged up against the C... (More) | 3 hours | |
| 70. | Steelers | Roethlisberger appears to be fine | (KFFL) Ed Bouchette, of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, reports Pittsburgh Steelers QB Ben Roethlisberger (concussion) "seems to be fine" after taking a blow to the head in Week 11, according to a source. He underwent tests Monday, Nov. 23, and appears to be fine to start in Week 12. Team officials are optimistic about Roethlisberger's health and will not pursue a veteran quarterback to serve as his backup with QB Charlie Batch (wrist) out. Instead, they will look to sign a young quarterback to add to their practice squad. QB Dennis Dixon will serve as Roethlisberger's backup. | 3 hours | |
| 71. | Desmond Clark | (RotoWire) Head coach Lovie Smith said that Clark should be recovered enough from his neck injury to return for Sunday's game against Minnesota, Breaking Sports News reports. Analysis: Clark missed Sunday's game against the Eagles with the injury, but appears set to return as the team's No. 2 tight end for next week's game. | 3 hours | |
| 72. | Bucs going back to three-headed RB monst... | (Rotoworld) Bucs coach Raheem Morris said Monday that Earnest Graham's role as a ball carrier will increase going forward. Analysis: This is bad news for Cadillac Williams and Derrick Ward. The Bucs like how rookie FB Chris Pressley is lead blocking, decreasing Graham's value in that area. Graham also had 47 yards on six touches in Sunday's loss. Tampa Bay's backfield threatens to become a fantasy value-sapping three-headed monster again. Graham would still be a low-upside waiver addition this week. | 3 hours | |
| 73. | Cedric Benson | (RotoWire) Benson's hip flexor injury remains a day-to-day concern, the Cincinnati Enquirer reports. Analysis: We probably won't have much of an idea whether he can play until Friday's practice. | 3 hours | |
| 74. | Carson Palmer | (RotoWire) Palmer was 14-for-22 for 207 yards and no touchdowns and one Hail Mary interception in Sunday's loss to the Raiders. Analysis: Palmer made up for it by running for two touchdowns, but he wasn't able to get much going in the second half, thanks to the Raiders' pass rush. | 3 hours | |
| 75. | Ahmad Bradshaw misses practice | (Rotoworld) Ahmad Bradshaw (foot) missed Giants practice Monday. Analysis: This was like a Wednesday for Bradshaw, who gets early-week practices off, because the Giants face Denver on Thanksgiving. He had just 34 yards on 12 carries in Week 11 and isn't much of a fantasy option for Week 12. | 3 hours | |
| 76. | DeSean Jackson | (RotoWire) Jackson recorded eight receptions for 107 yards and a touchdown in the Eagles' win. Analysis: Jackson also added 10 yards rushing but lost a fumble as well. All of his touchdowns this season have come from 40-plus yards, including his 48-yard TD on Sunday. | 3 hours | |
| 77. | Redskins | Landry said Williams was scared of him Week 11 | (KFFL) Matt Terl, of Redskins.com, reports Washington Redskins SS LaRon Landry broke up a number of passes in Week 11 and said he could tell Dallas Cowboys WR Roy Williams was scared of him during the game. When asked how he knew Williams was scared of him during the game, Landry replied: "Certain pass concepts they had. Certain routes he ran, you could tell he didn't want any part of it." | 3 hours | |
| 78. | Steven Jackson has back injury | (Rotoworld) Coach Steve Spagnuolo revealed Monday that Steven Jackson suffered a "muscle strain" in his back during the Rams' Week 11 loss. Analysis: Spags didn't indicate that it's anything serious. S-Jax probably isn't in danger of missing Week 12, but he's been injury prone over the last two years, so the situation is worth monitoring. The Rams play Seattle next Sunday. | 3 hours | |
| 79. | Rams | Jackson banged up | (KFFL) Mike Sando, of ESPN.com, reports St. Louis Rams RB Steven Jackson (back) is experiencing soreness in his lower back after Week 11. Head coach Steve Spagnuolo called Jackson's injury a "muscle strain" and did not sound serious about the injury. | 3 hours | |
| 80. | Rams | J. Smith undergoing tests | (KFFL) Mike Sando, of ESPN.com, reports St. Louis Rams OT Jason Smith (concussion) is undergoing tests Monday, Nov. 23, after suffering a potential concussion in Week 11. | 3 hours | |
| 81. | Rams | Little undergoing X-rays | (KFFL) Mike Sando, of ESPN.com, reports St. Louis Rams DL Leonard Little (back) is undergoing X-rays on his lower back Monday, Nov. 23. | 3 hours | |
| 82. | Rams | Karney to undergo MRI | (KFFL) Mike Sando, of ESPN.com, reports St. Louis Rams FB Mike Karney (neck) is undergoing an MRI for a potential neck injury Monday, Nov. 23. | 3 hours | |
| 83. | Rams | Bulger may not play in Week 12 | (KFFL) Mike Sando, of ESPN.com, reports St. Louis Rams QB Marc Bulger (hamstring, head, knee) might not play against the Seattle Seahawks in Week 12 after suffering multiple injuries in Week 11. He suffered a strain to his "groin-hamstring" area and a blow to the head. Bulger will undergo tests for a possible concussion Tuesday, Nov. 24. He also awoke Monday, Nov. 23, with swelling in his knee, and will undergo an MRI Monday. | 3 hours | |
| 84. | Shayne Graham | (RotoWire) Graham missed a 37-yard field goal in Sunday's loss to the Raiders. Analysis: Graham later connected when the Raiders fumbled on the subsequent possession, but the miss continued Graham's spotty season. | 3 hours | |
| 85. | Jeremy Maclin | (RotoWire) Maclin hauled in six catches for 64 yards in the Eagles' win Sunday. Analysis: Maclin has only topped 80 yards once this season, but he's been solid nevertheless, with two scores over the past four contests. | 3 hours | |
| 86. | Trent Cole | (RotoWire) Cole recorded five tackles and a sack during the Eagles' win over the Bears on Sunday. Analysis: Cole now has 39 tackles and 8.5 sacks on the season, making him a fine IDP option. | 3 hours | |
| 87. | Larry Johnson | (RotoWire) Johnson had just two carries for five yards in Sunday's loss to the Raiders. Analysis: Johnson was limited with Bernard Scott and Brian Leonard running reasonably well, though the Bengals have suggested that if Cedric Benson can't go again, Johnson will get more work this week. | 3 hours | |
| 88. | Brent Celek | (RotoWire) Celek was held to just four catches for 35 yards in Philadelphia's win Sunday. Analysis: It was Celek's lowest yardage output since Week 7 and ended a three-game scoring streak. Start him with confidence in Week 12 against the Redskins. | 3 hours | |
| 89. | Ravens lose CB Fabian Washington to torn... | (Rotoworld) Ravens CB Fabian Washington is expected to miss the rest of 2009 with a torn ACL, coach John Harbaugh revealed Monday. Analysis: We'd call it a blow to Baltimore's leaky pass defense, but Washington will be replaced by promising rookie Lardarius Webb. Webb has arguably been the club's best cover man when given the chance. Washington is headed for free agency in 2010. Coming off a season in which he was benched for poor tackling, then needed reconstructive knee surgery won't help his stock. | 3 hours | |
| 90. | LeSean McCoy | (RotoWire) McCoy ran for 99 yards and a touchdown on 22 carries in the Eagles' win Sunday. Analysis: McCoy was surprisingly shut out in the passing game and also lost a fumble, but his 5.0 YPC was impressive, as was his ability to dominate the team's workload. He's a must-start as long as Brian Westbrook (concussion) remains sidelined, which could be the rest of the season. | 3 hours | |
| 91. | Donovan McNabb | (RotoWire) McNabb completed 23-of-32 passes for 244 yards and two touchdowns in the Eagles' win over the Bears on Sunday. Analysis: McNabb was also picked off once but finished with a strong YPA (7.6) and QB rating (101.6) against an inconsistent Chicago secondary. He faces the Redskins at home in Week 12. | 3 hours | |
| 92. | Dolphins | Ferguson to IR | (KFFL) ESPN.com reports the Miami Dolphins placed DL Jason Ferguson (quadriceps) on the Injured Reserve list Monday, Nov. 23, ending his season. | 3 hours | |
| 93. | Lynch considered day-to-day | (TheHuddle) BuffaloBills.com reports Buffalo Bills interim head coach Perry Fewell said RB Marshawn Lynch (shoulder) is considered day-to-day after injuring his shoulder in Week 11. Analysis: It's a surprise Lynch is considered day-to-day and not, at the very least, questionable for Week 12 after having to be carted off the field against the Jaguars. This week the Bills play the Dolphins, who will be without NT Jason Ferguson and will have a weakened run defense. We still have doubts about Lynch's availability. If he can't go, Fred Jackson's Fantasy value should increase significantly. | 3 hours | |
| 94. | Jairus Byrd | (RotoWire) Although Byrd started on Sunday, he was limited to playing mostly on passing downs due to an injured groin, The Buffalo News reports. Analysis: Byrd's five-game streak with an interception came to a halt, and he was held to two total tackles. Watch Byrd's practice status this week; he'll still probably play, but it's easy for the Bills to adjust if he needs to be limited because Donte Whitner is close to full health again. | 3 hours | |
| 95. | Redskins | Will re-sign Mason | (KFFL) Jason La Canfora, of the NFL Network, reports the Washington Redskins will re-sign free-agent RB Marcus Mason. | 3 hours | |
| 96. | Ravens | F. Washington likely has torn ACL | (KFFL) Scout.com's Adam Caplan reports Baltimore Ravens CB Fabian Washington (knee) likely suffered a torn ACL in Week 11, according to head coach John Harbaugh. CB Lardarius Webb is expected to start in Washington's place. | 3 hours | |
| 97. | Bills consider RB Marshawn Lynch 'day to... | (Rotoworld) Bills coach Perry Fewell said Monday that Marshawn Lynch is "day to day" despite leaving Sunday's game with a shoulder injury. Analysis: Lynch didn't play in the final two quarters after the injury, but Monday's MRI apparently produced good results. "He's feeling much better," said Fewell. "We'll see how he feels (Tuesday) and continue from there." The Bills play a Miami team in Week 12 that just lost NT Jason Ferguson for the year, but it appears Fred Jackson won't get another chance to be the featured back. | 3 hours | |
| 98. | Brian Leonard | (RotoWire) Leonard had 13 carries for 36 yards on Sunday against the Raiders and was the running back in third down and short-yardage situations. Analysis: Unfortunately for Leonard, that didn't translate into any scoring, as quarterback Carson Palmer ran for short touchdowns, once after Leonard got it to just short of the goal line. | 3 hours | |
| 99. | Bernard Scott | (RotoWire) Scott had 21 carries for 119 yards and three catches for 32 yards in Sunday's loss to the Raiders. Analysis: The downside was that Brian Leonard was nearly exclusively the third down back and got all the short-yardage carries, including at the goal line. | 3 hours | |
| 100. | Brandon Jacobs not on Coughlin's injury ... | (Rotoworld) Despite leaving Sunday's game with an apparent knee problem, Brandon Jacobs was not among the players on Giants coach Tom Coughlin's injured list announced at his Monday press conference. Analysis: Another sign that he's in no danger of missing time. Jacobs didn't return to Sunday's game after leaving in the third quarter, but only because the Giants wanted to finish up with Ahmad Bradshaw and Danny Ware. Jacobs, who has a 4.79 YPC average and two TDs in his last four games, gets a favorable Week 12 matchup against a Denver defense that's falling apart at the seams. | 3 hours |
