Portis said all of the MRI exams and X-rays have come back negative, but he still experiences blurry vision when he moves his head quickly side to side. Doctors have been limiting Portis' physical activity to the stationary bike and walking. Analysis: In other words, Portis won't be playing this week and is simply a maybe for the following week.

| 16. | Bucs extend contract of offensive boss O... | (Rotoworld) Bucs signed offensive coordinator Greg Olson to a contract extension. Analysis: Terms of the deal aren't known, but Olson will definitely return as the Bucs' playcaller in 2010. The deal is a plus for rookie QB Josh Freeman, who will have continuity and has shown promise in his three starts. Olson comes from the Scott Linehan style of offense, which takes vertical shots and requires a big-armed, aggressive quarterback. Freeman possesses those qualities. | 4 hours | |
| 17. | Eugene Wilson | (RotoWire) Wilson injured two toes during Monday's loss to Tennessee, the Associated Press reports. Analysis: During a press conference on Monday, Texans head coach Gary Kubiak said Wilson is "going to be out for awhile." We expect John Busing to fill in as the starter free safety. | 4 hours | |
| 18. | Chris Brown | (RotoWire) During his Monday press conference, Texans head coach Gary Kubiak explained his decision to give Brown more playing time than starter Steve Slaton, saying Brown's been his most reliable back this season. Analysis: "Well, we went back and studied ourselves. The times that we gave Chris opportunities in our offense, we were very impressed with what he had done. We played very clean football when he was in there, which we did last night. We played very clean from a standpoint of protecting the football throughout the game. Our protections, he was excellent in protections. He picked up about two or three safety blitzes that gave us chances to make plays. So we felt... (More) | 4 hours | |
| 19. | Redskins | Portis still experiencing vision problems | (KFFL) Ryan O'Halloran, of The Washington Times, reports Washington Redskins RB Clinton Portis (concussion) said during an appearance on 980's The John Thompson Show that he hopes to return for the team's Week 13 game. Portis said all of the MRI exams and X-rays have come back negative, but he still experiences blurry vision when he moves his head quickly side to side. Doctors have been limiting Portis' physical activity to the stationary bike and walking. | 5 hours | |
| 20. | Roth, Matt | Mia | (SportsGrumblings) Dolphins waive linebacker Matt Roth Analysis: Roth, who became the center of an odd saga when he missed all of training camp with a groin injury, was released after totaling just four combined tackles during his four games this season.<p> The move was ``strictly a football decision,'' one source said. Although no other outside factors are believed to have contributed to his departure, the drama of training camp surely will follow Roth in the wake of Miami's choice to cut him. (Miami Herald) | 5 hours | |
| 21. | Ivy, Corey | FA | (SportsGrumblings) Ivy signs with Steelers Analysis: Former Ravens cornerback and special teams player Corey Ivy signed with the Steelers today, according to the Associated Press. He is expected to bolster special teams. | 5 hours | |

| 23. | Marc Bulger won't be a Ram in 2010 | (Rotoworld) According to ESPN's Mike Sando, there's "no way" Marc Bulger will be a Ram in 2010 at his scheduled salary of $8.5 million. Analysis: Sando isn't going out on a limb here, but it's noteworthy because Bulger's season is potentially over due to a fractured tibia. He may have played his last snap in a St. Louis uniform. The Rams could approach the 32-year-old about a pay cut this offseason, but we're guessing that Bulger would refuse. | 5 hours | |
| 24. | Eagles | Isdaner expected to sign Wednesday | (KFFL) The Philadelphia Daily News reports free-agent OL Greg Isdaner (Cowboys) is expected to sign with the Philadelphia Eagles' practice squad Wednesday, Nov. 25, according to agent Stephen Halper and team sources. | 5 hours | |
| 25. | Jerry Gray to leave the Redskins? | (Rotoworld) Redskins secondary coach Jerry Gray has emerged as a strong candidate for the University of Memphis head coaching job. Analysis: Gray appeared poised to leave Washington for an NFL defensive coordinator position last offseason, but the Redskins blocked him. His secondary is No. 1 in pass defense, so losing Gray would be a sizable blow. Memphis, which recently fired head coach Tommy West, hasn't won a Bowl game since 2005. | 6 hours | |
| 26. | Chargers | Runyan signs one-year deal | (KFFL) Updating a previous item, the San Diego Chargers have signed free-agent OT Jon Runyan (Eagles) to a one-year contract. Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed. | 6 hours | |
| 27. | Chargers | Clary placed on IR | (KFFL) The San Diego Chargers announced they have placed OT Jeromey Clary (ankle) has been placed on Injured Reserve, ending his 2009 season. | 6 hours | |
| 28. | Aaron Curry removed from nickel package | (Rotoworld) Rookie SLB Aaron Curry has been removed from the Seahawks' nickel package. Analysis: Now only a mere early-down linebacker, Curry is barely averaging five tackles a game. The No. 4 overall pick hasn't been nearly as effective as No. 16 overall pick Brian Cushing for the Texans. Seahawks GM Tim Ruskell should be kicking himself for drafting Curry over Eugene Monroe in April. | 6 hours | |
| 29. | Kyle Orton practices, believes he will start Thursday | (FFToolbox) It appears that the Denver Broncos didn't make quarterback Kyle Orton's sprained ankle any worse by inserting him into Sunday's game. Orton was in uniform and on the field for the Broncos' practice Tuesday. And Orton said he will be ready to start on Thanksgiving Day against the New York Giants. Tuesday was the first time Orton had practiced since spraining his ankle during the team's week 10 game. Orton was held out of practice all of last week and wasn't expected to play against the San Diego Chargers. Yet, he entered the game in place of the ineffective More) | 6 hours | |
| 30. | Bradshaw injured other foot | (TheHuddle) NFL.com reports New York Giants RB Ahmad Bradshaw (ankle, foot) is wearing a boot on his left foot after dealing with a cracked bone in his right foot for the past six weeks. Head coach Tom Coughlin told reporters Bradshaw has a sprained ankle and his status for the team's Week 12 game Thursday, Nov. 26, is in doubt. Analysis: Much closer to confirming what we're already expecting, Tom Coughlin states that Bradshaw's status is in doubt, meaning Jacobs is pretty much a lock to get the bulk of the work. Make your plans accordingly. | 6 hours | |
| 31. | Orton feeling good | (TheHuddle) Denver Broncos QB Kyle Orton (ankle) said he is feeling good and should be able to play during Week 12. He is hopeful he won't be limited at all with the things he needs to do on the field. Orton said his ankle didn't really limit him at all in Week 11, and said he felt pretty good throughout the game. Orton added the team needs to execute in all phases of the offense - running, passing, red zone and third down - in order to be successful offensively. Analysis: The Broncos are struggling, but they are a different team when Orton is behind center as opposed to Chris Simms. The game against the Gi... (More) | 6 hours | |
| 32. | Caldwell says Addai finally healthy | (Rotoworld) Colts coach Jim Caldwell attributes Joseph Addai's improved production to finally being healthy. Analysis: Addai has moved well ahead of Donald Brown, taking over as the every-down back. He has eight TDs in his last seven games. "Physically, he feels good," Caldwell said. "He just appears to be getting stronger as the game goes on. Particularly when he gets down in the red zone, he's been a real force." | 6 hours | |
| 33. | Cowboys | Romo limited Tuesday | (KFFL) Jeff Caplan, of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram, reports Dallas Cowboys QB Tony Romo (back) was limited during the team's practice Tuesday, Nov. 24. He is expected to play Week 12. | 6 hours | |
| 34. | Cowboys | Three practice Tuesday | (KFFL) Jeff Caplan, of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram, reports Dallas Cowboys LB Keith Brooking (ankle), PK David Buehler (toe) and CB Mike Jenkins (elbow, head) participated in the team's full workout Tuesday, Nov. 24. | 6 hours | |
| 35. | Chargers place Clary on I.R. | (Rotoworld) Chargers placed RT Jeromey Clary (ankle) on injured reserve, ending his season. Analysis: Clary either had ligament damage in the ankle or a severe sprain of the high variety. The 26-year-old will return to San Diego in 2010, but the Bolts will likely bring in competition. Clary isn't a difference-making blocker. | 6 hours | |
| 36. | Chargers sign OT Runyan | (Rotoworld) Chargers signed OT Jon Runyan, formerly of the Eagles. Analysis: Brandyn Dombrowski will start at right tackle until Runyan shows he's ready to contribute in practice. Runyan started an amazing 192 straight games between 1997 and 2008, but turns 36 in three days and is coming off microfacture surgery. He's not likely to be an upgrade in pass protection. | 6 hours | |
| 37. | Vanden Bosch hyperextends knee | (Rotoworld) Titans RE Kyle Vanden Bosch revealed that he suffered a hyperextended knee in Sunday's in over the Texans, but says he'll be OK. Analysis: KVB notched his second sack of the season in his disappointing contract year. He saw extended time inside at tackle with Jason Jones inactive due to a shoulder injury. Vanden Bosch has just one forced fumble and 29 tackles. | 6 hours | |
| 38. | Finnegan moves back to RCB | (Rotoworld) Cortland Finnegan moved back to right cornerback with Nick Harper (arm) rejoining the starting lineup in Week 11. Analysis: Harper played with a cast on his previously fractured forearm and was the victim on Andre Johnson's 12-yard touchdown catch. The 35-year-old is the Titans' weaker corner. Finnegan was mostly effective in coverage Monday night. | 6 hours | |
| 39. | Texans | Wilson injured Week 11, not expected to play Week 12 | (KFFL) CBSSports.com reports Houston Texans FS Eugene Wilson (toes) suffered an injury to a couple toes Week 11. He is not expected to play Week 12 and could miss additional time. | 6 hours | |
| 40. | Texans | Dreessen day-to-day | (KFFL) CBSSports.com reports Houston Texans TE Joel Dreessen (shoulder) is day-to-day with a shoulder injury. | 6 hours | |
| 41. | Texans | Ryans day-to-day | (KFFL) CBSSports.com reports Houston Texans LB DeMeco Ryans (ankle) is day-to-day with an ankle injury. | 6 hours | |
| 42. | Ravens place CB Washington on IR | (Rotoworld) Ravens placed CB Fabian Washington on injured reserve with a torn ACL, ending his season. Analysis: Washington finished with 36 tackles and six pass breakups. He's picked off just two passes in the last three seasons, is up and down as a cover man, and has never been good in run support. Baltimore will look to upgrade at corner behind Domonique Foxworth and promising Lardarius Webb in the offseason. | 6 hours | |
| 43. | Giants | Bradshaw injured other foot | (KFFL) Updating a previous item, NFL.com reports New York Giants RB Ahmad Bradshaw (ankle, foot) is wearing a boot on his left foot after dealing with a cracked bone in his right foot for the past six weeks. Head coach Tom Coughlin told reporters Bradshaw has a sprained ankle and his status for the team's Week 12 game Thursday, Nov. 26, is in doubt. | 6 hours | |
| 44. | Clinton Portis still bothered by blurred vision | (FFToolbox) Washington Redskins running back Clinton Portis has missed the team's past two games as he recovers from a concussion. Although Portis said he has seen six or seven doctors and passed a battery of tests, he expects to miss a third consecutive game on Sunday against the Eagles. The main problem for Portis right now is that his vision is still blurry when he moves around. During a radio appearance this week, Portis said, "My vision, just sitting still, it's fine. Moving is when now and then it's blurry. I can sit still and read everything you put up in front of me, but when you move me, shake my head... (More) | 6 hours | |
| 45. | Dolphins waive S Ness | (Rotoworld) Dolphins waived S Nate Ness. Analysis: Ness, an undrafted free agent from Arizona, lasted only a week on the roster. He's been with three different organizations since April's draft snubbing. | 7 hours | |
| 46. | Robert Ayers a healthy scratch | (Rotoworld) Broncos first-round pick Robert Ayers was a healthy scratch in Week 11. Analysis: The No. 18 overall pick doesn't have a sack all year. Ayers, a college end, has struggled making the transition to hybrid OLB/DE in Mike Nolan's scheme. Ayers hasn't put any pressure on journeyman starting LOLB Mario Haggan. | 7 hours | |
| 47. | Portis struggling with blurred vision | (FFChamps) Redskins running back Clinton Portis is still struggling with blurred vision when he moves his head quickly, but he hopes to play in Week 13 against the Saints. During an appearance on "The John Thompson Show" on ESPN 980, Portis said he has seen six or seven doctors, but won't play until his vision is back to normal. "My vision, just sitting still, it's fine," Portis said according to the Washington Post. "Moving is when now and then it's blurry. I can sit still and read everything you put up in front of me, but when you move me, shake my head around, that's where my blurrin... (More) | 7 hours | |

| 50. | Lions | Simpson likely headed to IR | (KFFL) John Niyo, of The Detroit News, reports Detroit Lions S Ko Simpson (knee) is likely headed to Injured Reserve. Head coach Jim Scwartz said, "It's a possibility, for sure." | 7 hours | |
| 51. | Broncos | Moss takes over for Ayers Week 11 | (KFFL) Denver Broncos LB Robert Ayers was deactivated for Week 11 because he has not made enough plays. The Broncos tried LB Jarvis Moss in Ayers' usual spot in passing situations. The position will likely be determined on a week-to-week basis. | 7 hours | |
| 52. | Broncos | Orton should be closer to 100 percent | (KFFL) Updating a previous item, Denver Broncos QB Kyle Orton (ankle) practiced in full Tuesday, Nov. 24, and he should be closer to 100 percent for Week 12. | 7 hours | |
| 53. | Broncos | Jordan could miss Week 12 | (KFFL) Updating a previous item, Denver Broncos RB Lamont Jordan (back) missed the team's practice Tuesday, Nov. 24, and it appears he will miss Week 12. | 7 hours | |
| 54. | Broncos | Harris likely questionable at best for Week 12 | (KFFL) Updating a previous item, Denver Broncos OT Ryan Harris (toe) was limited in practice Tuesday, Nov. 24, and he appears questionable at best for Week 12. | 7 hours | |
| 55. | Bradshaw has new foot injury | (FFChamps) The Giants disclosed today that running back Ahmad Bradshaw has a sprained left ankle that could prevent him from playing against the Broncos on Thanksgiving. Bradshaw sustained the injury against the Falcons this past Sunday. He has also been playing through a cracked fifth metatarsal bone in his right foot for most of the season. Analysis: Generally speaking, a running back wearing a protective boot on his foot on Tuesday doesn't usually play in an NFL football game on Thursday. Look for Danny Ware (hot pickup alert!) to see action as th... (More) | 7 hours | |
| 56. | Raiders | Changes coming to return game? | (KFFL) CBSSports.com reports the Oakland Raiders could be making some changes to their return game.

| 57. | Broncos | Orton feeling good | (KFFL) Denver Broncos QB Kyle Orton (ankle) said he is feeling good and should be able to play during Week 12. He is hopeful he will not be limited at all with the things he needs to do on the field. Orton said his ankle didn't really limit him at all in Week 11, and said he felt pretty good throughout the game. Orton added the team needs to execute in all phases of the offense - running, passing, red zone and third down - in order to be successful offensively. | 7 hours | |
| 58. | Raiders | Seymour practices in full Tuesday | (KFFL) CBSSports.com reports Oakland Raiders DE Richard Seymour (back) practiced in full Tuesday, Nov. 24. | 7 hours | |
| 59. | Raiders | Alston out for Week 12 | (KFFL) CBSSports.com reports Oakland Raiders LB Jon Alston (concussion) has been ruled out for the team's Week 12 game.

| 61. | Raiders | Ellis limited Tuesday | (KFFL) CBSSports.com reports Oakland Raiders DE Greg Ellis (knee, shoulder) was limited in practice Tuesday, Nov. 24, but head coach Tom Cable said he expects Ellis to play Week 12. | 7 hours | |
| 62. | Giants | Boley named NFC Defensive Player of the Week | (KFFL) Bob Glauber, of Newsday, reports New York Giants LB Michael Boley has been named NFC Defensive Player of the Week for Week 11. | 7 hours | |
| 63. | Kahlil Bell | (RotoWire) Head Coach Lovie Smith said Monday that Bell, who ran for 81 yards on just four carries in Sunday's game against the Eagles, will continue to play a role in the offense, the Chicago Tribune reports. Analysis: "I do see Kahlil continuing to be a part of our offense," Smith said. "With production like that, why not?" Bell likely elevated himself to the No. 2 running back spot ahead of Adrian Peterson with his performance Sunday, but as of now it's hard to envision him stealing enough touches away from Matt Forte to be a legitimate fantasy option. If Bell continues to put up the type of numbers he did last week, however, he will certainly carve out a role in the B... (More) | 7 hours | |

| 67. | Witten a game-time decision Thursday | (FFChamps) Dallas Cowboys tight end Jason Witten will be a game-time decision on Thanksgiving Day because of his sprained left foot. Witten injured his foot on Sunday against the Redskins and was limited in practice on Tuesday. "I won't say it's severe, but it's something that worries us about him being able to play this week," Cowboys head coach Wade Phillips said Tuesday in an Associated Press report. "As far as I know, it's a situation where if he's not well enough, he could hurt it more," Phillips added. "That's a big concern." Analysis: It's sounding more and more like More) | 7 hours | |
| 68. | Packers | Ford signed to active roster | (KFFL) Tom Sliverstein, of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, reports Green Bay Packers CB Trevor Ford has been signed from the team's practice squad to their active roster. Ford might be active for Week 12. | 8 hours | |

| 71. | Witten limited Tuesday | (TheHuddle) The Dallas Morning News reports Dallas Cowboys TE Jason Witten (foot) was limited in practice Tuesday, Nov. 24, with a sprained foot. He will be a game-time decision Thursday, Nov. 26. Analysis: Not that he's exactly been a Fantasy force this season, but the Cowboys desperately need Witten on the field to help with blocking and the occasional key third down catch. He's as tough as they come, so if there's any way he can be on the field he will. We'll obviously keep you posted as more details become available. | 8 hours | |
| 72. | Kubiak likes RB Brown's 'clean play' | (Rotoworld) Texans coach Gary Kubiak attributed Chris Brown's extra playing time Monday night to his ability to hold onto the football and pick up blitzes in previous weeks. Analysis: Neither Steve Slaton nor Brown is giving the team much as a runner, so Kubiak decided to go with the player who would make the fewest mistakes in a physical game. Ryan Moats didn't see a single carry. Averaging just 3.3 YPC on the season, Brown is a poor bet to continue seeing the lion's share of the carries. | 8 hours | |
| 73. | Martellus Bennett | (RotoWire) Bennett's teammate Jason Witten (foot) will be a game-time decision for Thursday's game against the Raiders, the Dallas Morning News reports. Analysis: If Witten is unable to go, Bennett would take over as the starter at tight end, but he could see a larger proportion of the snaps even if Witten does play. | 8 hours | |
| 74. | Clinton Portis hopes to play in Week 13 | (Rotoworld) Though he hopes to return for the Saints game in Week 13, Clinton Portis admits he still experiences blurry vision when he moves his head side to side. Analysis: "I could sit still and read everything you put in front of me," said Portis. "But when you move me and shake me around, that's when it happens." Coach Jim Zorn has already expressed doubt about Portis' availability for Week 13, and it's not a given that he returns to the lineup at any point this season. | 8 hours | |
| 75. | Browns waive LB Josh Stamer | (Rotoworld) Browns waived LB Josh Stamer. Analysis: The special teamer was just signed two weeks ago, so the Browns obviously didn't like what they saw. | 8 hours | |
| 76. | Tony Romo, Jason Witten, Marion Barber all battling injury | (FFToolbox) Three very valuable Dallas Cowboys fantasy players are a bit dinged up right now. The player that the team is worried about most is tight end Jason Witten. Head coach Wade Phillips said Tuesday that Witten will be a "game-time" decision for Thursday's game against the Oakland Raiders. Phillips even said "We're a little bit worried about [Witten] being able to play." Witten sprained the middle of his foot in the second quarter of Sunday's 7-6 win over the Redskins. Witten never left the game, but he was limited in Tuesday's practice. Also limited in practice was quarterback More) | 8 hours | |
| 77. | Kris Brown | (RotoWire) Texans' head coach Gary Kubiak affirmed on Tuesday that the club will stick with Brown as their kicker, the Houston Chronicle reports. Analysis: Brown has missed kicks that could have sent the Texans into overtime in back-to-back games, and his 64.7 percent field goal percentage this season is the lowest of his career. | 9 hours | |
| 78. | Kyle Orton | (RotoWire) Orton (ankle) is improving and head coach Josh McDaniels hopes to have him participate fully in Wednesday's final walkthrough, the Denver Post reports. Analysis: "It's a lot more mental [Tuesday], and the same Wednesday, so he should be able to do everything," McDaniels said. "We expect him to be more healthy Thursday than he was last week." After coming on in relief during Sunday's loss to the Chargers, Orton seems to be a better bet to start this week, barring any setbacks. | 9 hours | |
| 79. | Brian Dawkins | (RotoWire) Dawkins (neck) practiced on a limited basis on Tuesday, the Denver Post reports. Analysis: Dawkins has been receiving treatment on his neck, and it looks like he could be a game-time decision on Thursday. | 9 hours | |
| 80. | Cowboys | Witten limited Tuesday | (KFFL) Calvin Watkins, of The Dallas Morning News, reports Dallas Cowboys TE Jason Witten (foot) was limited in practice Tuesday, Nov. 24, with a sprained foot. He will be a game-time decision Thursday, Nov. 26. | 9 hours | |

| 82. | Colts | Thomas re-signed | (KFFL) ESPN's Adam Schefter reports the Indianapolis Colts re-signed DL Josh Thomas Tuesday, Nov. 24. Terms of the deal were not disclosed. | 9 hours | |
| 83. | Colts re-sign DE Josh Thomas | (Rotoworld) Colts re-signed DE Josh Thomas. Analysis: An end of the roster type, Thomas has been cut and re-signed a handful of times over the past two seasons. He knows the Colts' scheme and offers plenty of experience. | 9 hours | |
| 84. | Ware has made good impression | (TheHuddle) NFL.com reports New York Giants RB Danny Ware, currently listed as the team's No. 3 running back, has made a good impression on head coach Tom Coughlin. Analysis: There's a good chance Ware will be the No. 2 running back this week for the Giants, as Ahmad Bradshaw is very iffy with ankle and foot problems. He's worth a look as a free agent in deeper leagues, because if Bradshaw's out, Ware should see a lot of action against what has lately been a very bad Denver run defense. | 9 hours | |
| 85. | Richard Seymour | (RotoWire) Seymour (back) practiced without limitations on Tuesday, the Contra Costa Times reports.
