|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1. | 49ers | Robinson misses practice Thursday | (KFFL) Matt Maiocco, of The Santa Rosa Press Democrat, reports San Francisco 49ers RB Michael Robinson (shoulder) did not participate in practice Thursday, Nov. 26. He is considered day-to-day. | 20 minutes | |
| 2. | Barrett Ruud | (RotoWire) Ruud (rib) fully participated in Thursday's practice, the St. Petersburg Times reports. Analysis: We'll check back on Ruud Friday, but he'll probably end up listed as probable for Week 12. | 22 minutes | |
| 3. | Antonio Bryant | (RotoWire) Bryant (knee) was given the day off Thursday, the St. Petersburg Times reports. Analysis: We'll have to see how Bryant is listed on Friday's practice report, but this could well have been just a maintenance day for him. | 24 minutes | |
| 4. | Kellen Winslow | (RotoWire) Winslow (knee) fully participated in Thursday's practice, the St. Petersburg Times reports. Analysis: Winslow may end up listed as probable Friday, but should be fine for Sunday's game against the Falcons. | 26 minutes | |
| 5. | Justin Gage | (RotoWire) Gage (back) did not practice Thursday, the Titans' official site reports. Analysis: We'll check back on Gage's status Friday, but he looks iffy at best for Week 12. | 39 minutes | |
| 6. | Raiders | DHB scores first career touchdown Week 12 | (KFFL) The Associated Press reports Oakland Raiders WR Darrius Heyward-Bey caught two passes for 21 yards with a touchdown Week 12. The touchdown was the first in his career. | 40 minutes | |
| 7. | Cowboys | Austin scores Week 12 | (KFFL) The Associated Press reports Dallas Cowboys WR Miles Austin caught seven passes for 145 yards with a touchdown reception Week 12. | 40 minutes | |
| 8. | Cowboys | Romo throws for 309 yards Week 12 | (KFFL) The Associated Press reports Dallas Cowboys QB Tony Romo was 18-for-29 for 309 yards with two touchdown passes Week 12. | 41 minutes | |
| 9. | Jamal Lewis | (RotoWire) Lewis (ankle) was listed as a limited participant at Thursday's practice. Analysis: So far there's no reason to believe that Lewis will miss Sunday's game against the Bengals, but we'll check back in on his status after Friday's practice nonetheless. | 42 minutes | |
| 10. | Eddie Royal | (RotoWire) Royal suffered a thigh injury in the second quarter of Thursday's game against the Giants and is questionable to return, NFL.com reports. Analysis: Royal's production is well off last year's pace, as he went into Thursday's game averaging 3.1 catches per game for 28.2 yards. In 2008, he finished the season with 91 catches, while averaging 65.3 receiving yards per game. This year, he is being outproduced by Jabar Gaffney. | 46 minutes | |
| 11. | Jordy Nelson | (RotoWire) Nelson hurt his shoulder in Thursday's game against the Lions, the Green Bay Press Gazette reports. Analysis: More on Nelson, who caught one pass for 19 years Thursday prior to his injury, in the coming days. | 55 minutes | |
| 12. | Jordy Nelson leaves with shoudler injury | (Rotoworld) Packers WR/KR Jordy Nelson left Sunday's game with a shoulder injury and did not return. Analysis: Nelson returned two kickoffs for 42 yards, caught one pass for 19 yards, and lost one fumble. The Packers don't know yet how severe the shoulder injury is. We should have an update by Friday afternoon. | 1 hour | |
| 13. | Willie Parker | (RotoWire) Parker (hip) was limited at practice Thursday. Analysis: Parker has taken a back seat to Rashard Mendenhall of late, so he's not worth starting as long as his second-year running mate remains healthy. | 1 hour | |
| 14. | Ben Roethlisberger | (RotoWire) Roethlisberger (head) practiced again Thursday, and coach Mike Tomlin has said his QB will play Sunday unless he starts feeling the effects of the hit he took last weekend, the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review reports. "It's been a normal week," Roethlisberger said Thursday. Analysis: The Steelers reportedly have met with veteran quarterbacks Patrick Ramsey and Todd Bouman, but that's more likely in response to the injury that has knocked backup Charlie Batch out. | 1 hour | |
| 15. | Rodgers feasts on Lions | (FFChamps) Green Bay Packers' quarterback Aaron Rodgers threw for 348 yards, while also tying a career high with three touchdown passes in his team's 34-12 blowout win over the Detroit Lions on Thanksgiving Day. Rodgers did not have an interception on the day, as the league leader in quarterback rating had another efficient day in leading the Pack to their third consecutive victory. Analysis: After looking like he wouldn't survive a patchwork offensive line during the first couple weeks of the season (being sacked 10 times in the team's first two games), Rodgers has gone on to have the stellar campaign many we... (More) | 1 hour | |
| 16. | Brandon Pettigrew | (RotoWire) There are fears that the knee injury Pettigrew suffered Thursday could sideline him for the rest of the season, Mlive.com reports. Analysis: We'll have to see what tests on his knee turn up in the coming days, but in any case, it looks like Pettigrew will miss some time. | 1 hour | |
| 17. | Giants TE Darcy Johnson leaves with inju... | (Rotoworld) Giants TE Darcy Johnson left Thursday's game with a shoulder injury. Analysis: Johnson fumbled on his lone reception after taking a hard hit from Brian Dawkins. The Giants' backup tight end was sent to the locker-room for X-rays, and he's done for the night. | 1 hour | |
| 18. | Giants CB Webster sidelined with knee in... | (Rotoworld) Giants CB Corey Webster was sidelined with a left knee injury in the second quarter Thursday night. Analysis: Webster hurt his knee tackling Tony Scheffler on a 21-yard gain. He's up and walking it off on the sidelines, and he's being called "probable" to return with a bruised knee. | 1 hour | |
| 19. | Charles Woodson dominating again | (Rotoworld) Charles Woodson outdid his fantastic Week 11 performance Thursday, recording six solo tackles, forcing and recovering a fumble, sacking Matthew Stafford once, and intercepting him twice, including a 38-yard pick-six. Analysis: He also shadowed Calvin Johnson. Coordinator Dom Capers is stumping for Woodson to win Defensive Player of the Year, and his last two games have been as impressive as any back-to-back performances you'll ever see out of a cornerback. | 1 hour | |
| 20. | Culpepper 'upset' about not starting | (Rotoworld) Daunte Culpepper was "upset" about sitting the bench in favor of an injured Matthew Stafford in Thursday's game. Analysis: Culpepper took all of the practice reps early in the week, but Stafford surprisingly went the whole way for the Lions. We wouldn't make too much of this. Culpepper had a right to want the start and exhibited no untoward behavior during the game. | 1 hour | |
| 21. | Jones back at practice | (FFChamps) Seattle Seahawks' running back Julius Jones was back at practice on Thursday, after not practicing for the last week and a half due to a bruised lung, suffered during a 31-20 loss to the Arizona Cardinals in Week 10. According to the team's official website, Seahawks.com, Jones was limited today, and his role in practice tomorrow will be determined by how he feels in the morning. His status for Sunday's game against the St. Louis Rams is still uncertain, but Jones says, ?If I can, I?ll play." "It?s just a matter of taking it day by day.? Analysis: After managing a whopping four (not a misprint...we... (More) | 1 hour | |
| 22. | Colts extend contracts of Polians thru 2... | (Rotoworld) Colts extended the contracts of team president Bill Polian and son Chris, formerly the VP of football operations, "through the 2012 season and beyond." Analysis: After serving four years as VP of football operations, Chris Polian was promoted to general manager, ostensibly to keep other teams from interviewing him. When Bill steps down, Chris will assume day-to-day operations of the franchise. President of the team since 1998, Bill has directed the Colts to the NFL's best regular-season record over the past 10+ years (123-46). He's expected to run the team through 2012. | 2 hours | |
| 23. | Pettigrew leaves with knee injury | (FFChamps) Detroit Lions' tight end Brandon Pettigrew left during the first quarter of Sunday's 34-12 loss to the Green Bay Packers with an apparent knee injury. Analysis: The second of the Lions' two first round picks in last April's draft was beginning to come on as of late, recording 165 yards receiving and two touchdowns over his previous three games. The extent of his injury is unknown at this point, but Pettigrew was limping noticeably, needed help getting off the field, and was ruled out for the remainder of the game shortly after halftime. Pettigrew and quarterback Matthew Stafford will likely be integral components to each other's evolution in the league, but b... (More) | 2 hours | |
| 24. | Heyward-Bey finally gets his touchdown | (Rotoworld) Darrius Heyward-Bey caught two passes for 21 yards and one touchdown in Thursday's loss to the Cowboys. Analysis: Congratulations to DHB for his first career touchdown. It came on a nice lofted ball to the side of the end zone that he could catch up with. The No. 7 overall pick now has nine catches on the year and continues to struggle to make tough catches. He has a long way to go. | 2 hours | |
| 25. | Schilens' timing is off | (Rotoworld) Chaz Schilens caught two passes for 32 yards in Thursday's loss to the Cowboys. Analysis: Schilens ran plenty of slants, but the timing just isn't there. This offense is so bad at getting the ball to their wideouts and Schilens can be left on the waiver wire. | 2 hours | |
| 26. | Miller produces in loss | (Rotoworld) Zach Miller caught five passes for 73 yards in Thursday's loss to the Cowboys. Analysis: Miller remains the Raiders most reliable receiver and he's benefiting from Bruce Gradkowski. In the two games Gradkowski has started, Miller has caught ten passes for 138 yards with one touchdown. He's a TE2 against the Steelers in Week 13. | 2 hours | |
| 27. | Bush barely plays in loss | (Rotoworld) Michael Bush rushed three times for eight yards in Thursday's loss to the Cowboys. Analysis: Bush did not have a carry while the game was within reach. That fumble he had against the Bengals a week ago put him firmly behind Justin Fargas and Darren McFadden. Bush should be firmly on your bench. | 2 hours | |
| 28. | Jets | Turner practices Thursday | (KFFL) Dan Leberfeld, of Jets Confidential, reports New York Daily News, reports New York Jets OL Robert Turner (knee) fully participated in practice Thursday, Nov. 26. He will be available to play in Week 12. | 2 hours | |
| 29. | McFadden plays behind Fargas | (Rotoworld) Darren McFadden rushed six times for 23 yards and caught four passes for 43 yards in Thursday's loss to the Cowboys. Analysis: Justin Fargas started the game and was the clear feature back. The Raiders split McFadden out wide frequently and hit him on a nice slant early. He also beat Gerald Sensabaugh on a vertical route but Bruce Gradkowski's arm wasn't strong enough to get McFadden the ball. McFadden needs to be on your bench against Pittsburgh, and should stay there until he moves back ahead of Fargas. | 2 hours | |
| 30. | Jets | Leonhard practices Thursday | (KFFL) Dan Leberfeld, of Jets Confidential, reports New York Jets FS Jim Leonhard (thumb) fully participated in practice Thursday, Nov. 26. He will play with a cast on his thumb in Week 12. | 2 hours | |
| 31. | Fargas the feature back | (Rotoworld) Justin Fargas rushed 12 times for 63 yards and caught one pass for four yards in Thursday's loss to the Cowboys. Analysis: Fargas was clearly the feature back. He started the game and rushed four times before Darren McFadden got a carry. Michael Bush was the invisible man while the game was close, making this a two-man show for now. Even so, Fargas is not an option against the Steelers in Week 13. | 2 hours | |
| 32. | Jets | Thomas practices Thursday | (KFFL) Dan Leberfeld, of Jets Confidential, reports New York Jets LB Bryan Thomas (toe) fully participated in practice Thursday, Nov. 26. He will be able to start Week 12. | 2 hours | |
| 33. | Gradkowski looks decent in los | (Rotoworld) Bruce Gradkowski completed 18-of-35 passes for 200 yards with one touchdown in Thursday's loss to the Cowboys. Analysis: Just like JaMarcus Russell, Gradkowski struggles with timing on passes to his wideouts. But he showed much better touch on some deep outs and actually got Darrius Heyward-Bey his first career touchdown. He's an upgrade over Russell, but can't save this offense and is not a fantasy option. | 2 hours | |
| 34. | Jets | Gholston limited Thursday | (KFFL) Dan Leberfeld, of Jets Confidential, reports New York Jets LB Vernon Gholston (hamstring) was limited during practice Thursday, Nov. 26. He may be a game-time decision for Week 12. | 2 hours | |
| 35. | Jets | Ellis limited Thursday | (KFFL) Dan Leberfeld, of Jets Confidential, reports New York Jets DE Shaun Ellis (knee) was limited during practice Thursday, Nov. 26. He will be able to start Week 12. | 2 hours | |
| 36. | Jets | Strickland misses practice Thursday | (KFFL) Dan Leberfeld, of Jets Confidential, reports New York Jets CB Donald Strickland (concussion) did not participate in practice Thursday, Nov. 26. He is not expected to play in Week 12. | 2 hours | |
| 37. | Crayton goes without a catch | (Rotoworld) Patrick Crayton did not catch a pass in Thursday's win over the Raiders. Analysis: Crayton was not hurt, he's just the Cowboys' fourth or fifth option. He's waiver wire fodder. | 2 hours | |
| 38. | Jets | Lowery misses practice Thursday | (KFFL) Dan Leberfeld, of Jets Confidential, reports New York Jets CB Dwight Lowery (ankle) did not participate in practice Thursday, Nov. 26. He believes he has a chance to play in Week 12. | 2 hours | |
| 39. | Danny Ware changes name to 'D.J.' | (Rotoworld) Giants RB Danny Ware will now go by the name "DJ Ware," with no periods. Analysis: Danny Jr. will handle handle third-down and change-of-pace duties behind Brandon Jacobs Thursday night. With Ahmad Bradshaw nursing injuries to both lower legs, Ware is worth a roster in 12-team leagues. | 2 hours | |
| 40. | Witten has his best game of the year | (Rotoworld) Jason Witten caught five passes for 107 yards in Thursday's win over the Raiders. Analysis: It was weird to actually see Witten get some yards after the catch. Huge chunks of them, actually. He ran seam patterns and crossing routes instead of his usual short comebacks. Let's see the Cowboys use him like that again before we say he's back to elite tight end status. Also keep in mind he was working on Raiders backup LB Sam Williams for much of the game. | 2 hours | |
| 41. | Williams serves as a decoy mostly | (Rotoworld) Roy Williams caught two passes for 15 yards with a touchdown in Thursday's win over the Raiders. Analysis: The Cowboys moved Miles Austin away from Nnamdi Asomugha, so Williams wasn't going to do much. His touchdown came on a pretty play-action fake near the goal-line and his other catch was in front of Asomugha on the sideline. Williams is best left on fantasy benches. | 2 hours | |
| 42. | Rams | Chamberlain limited Thursday | (KFFL) St. Louis Rams LB Chris Chamberlain (concussion) was limited during practice Thursday, Nov. 26. He is expected to play in Week 12. | 2 hours | |
| 43. | Rams | D. Jones practices Thursday | (KFFL) St. Louis Rams P Donnie Jones (illness) participated in practice Thursday, Nov. 26. | 3 hours | |
| 44. | Choice runs the Wildcat | (Rotoworld) Tashard Choice rushed three times for 67 yards in Thursday's win over the Raiders. Analysis: Choice got an early carry out of the Wildcat and went 66 yards. The Cowboys gave him a chance to finish off that drive with another rush out of the Wildcat, but he was stuffed. He's clearly third in the pecking order behind Marion Barber and Felix Jones. | 3 hours | |
| 45. | Rams | Karney misses practice Thursday | (KFFL) St. Louis Rams FB Mike Karney (neck) did not participate in practice Thursday, Nov. 26. His status for Week 12 is uncertain. | 3 hours | |
| 46. | Felix gets his big play | (Rotoworld) Felix Jones rushed seven times for 68 yards with a touchdown in Thursday's win over the Raiders. Analysis: Jones showed his patented big-play ability when he took a normal handoff up the middle and for a 46-yard touchdown. It's the reason that Jerry Jones and the fans are begging for Felix to get more touches. Late in the game, it looked like he got poked in the eye and was getting examined by trainers. He should be fine, but the bottom line is he's still not getting enough touches to be a reliable fantasy play. | 3 hours | |
| 47. | Rams | Jackson misses practice Thursday | (KFFL) St. Louis Rams RB Steven Jackson (back) did not participate in practice Thursday, Nov. 26. His status for Week 12 is uncertain. | 3 hours | |
| 48. | Rams | J. Smith misses practice Thursday | (KFFL) St. Louis Rams OT Jason Smith (concussion) did not participate in practice Thursday, Nov. 26. He will not cleared to play until he passes a neurological test. | 3 hours | |
| 49. | Orton, Kyle | Den | (SportsGrumblings) Broncos QB Kyle Orton is active | 3 hours | |
| 50. | Pierce, Antonio | NYG | (SportsGrumblings) Giants LB Antonio Pierce out for tonight's game | 3 hours | |
| 51. | Rams | Incognito misses practice Thursday | (KFFL) St. Louis Rams OG Richie Incognito (foot) did not participate in practice Thursday, Nov. 26. He will not play in Week 12. | 3 hours | |
| 52. | Bradshaw, Ahmad | NYG | (SportsGrumblings) Giants RB Ahmad Bradshaw is inactive today | 3 hours | |
| 53. | Barber puts together some long runs | (Rotoworld) Marion Barber rushed 14 times for 61 yards and added two catches for 41 yards in Thursday's win over the Raiders. Analysis: The Cowboys gave Barber significant rest early on in this one, letting Felix Jones and even Tashard Choice get work. As the game wore on, Barber was the primary back and broke a 42-yard reception on a blown coverage by the Raiders. He later busted a 32-yard run. Look for a similar workload against the Giants in Week 13. | 3 hours | |
| 54. | Romo bounces back with big game | (Rotoworld) Tony Romo completed 18-of-29 passes for 309 yards with two touchdowns and one interception in Thursday's win over the Raiders. Analysis: Romo's back was not an issue. He was very accurate as the Cowboys stayed away from Nnamdi Asomugha for the most part and attacked Chris Johnson. He benefited from some shoddy tackling as Jason Witten and Miles Austin piled up a ton of yards after the catch. Romo has some extra days to get completely healthy and ready for the Week 13 matchup with the Giants. | 3 hours | |
| 55. | Miles Austin racks up 145 yards, TD in w... | (Rotoworld) Miles Austin caught seven passes for 145 yards with one touchdown in Thursday's win over the Raiders. Analysis: Austin did almost all of his damage in the first half as he piled up 130 yards and his score. He did beat Nnamdi Asomugha for his first grab, but then the Cowboys attacked the more beatable Chris Johnson. After three straight poor games, the Cowboys proved they can get Austin away from double teams. It's a great sign for his owners heading into next week's game against the Giants. | 3 hours | |
| 56. | Heap upgraded to full participation | (Rotoworld) Todd Heap (ribs) was upgraded to full participation in Thursday's practice. Analysis: Heap will start against the Steelers Sunday, but he's no better than a low-end TE2 this week. | 3 hours | |
| 57. | Broncos | Orton active for Week 12 | (KFFL) NFL.com reports Denver Broncos QB Kyle Orton (ankle) is active for Week 12. | 3 hours | |
| 58. | Seahawks | Three practice Thursday | (KFFL) Seattle Seahawks DT Craig Terrill (shoulder), C Chris Spencer (thumb) and SS Deon Grant (wrist) fully participated in practice Thursday, Nov. 26. They are considered probable for Week 12. | 3 hours | |
| 59. | Wayne back in full | (Rotoworld) Reggie Wayne (knee) returned to a full practice Thursday. Analysis: Wayne was just getting Wednesday off to rest. He'll start against the Texans in what figures to be a very high-scoring affair Sunday. | 3 hours | |
| 60. | Manning limited once again | (Rotoworld) Peyton Manning (glute) was limited at Colts practice for the second straight day Thursday. Analysis: Don't be worried. Manning is just getting some rest and will be an elite option at Houston Sunday. | 3 hours | |
| 61. | Seahawks | J. Jones limited Thursday | (KFFL) Seattle Seahawks RB Julius Jones (lung) was limited during practice Thursday, Nov. 26. He is considered questionable for Week 12. | 3 hours | |
| 62. | Seahawks | Bryant, Redding limited Thursday | (KFFL) Seattle Seahawks DT Red Bryant (knee) and DT Cory Redding (knee) were limited during practice Thursday, Nov. 26. They are considered questionable for Week 12. | 3 hours | |
| 63. | Broncos inactives for Week 12 | (FFChamps) The Denver Broncos have announced the following players as inactive for today's game against the New York Giants: G Seth Olsen, WR Brandon Lloyd, WR Kenny McKinley, OT Ryan Harris, DE Chris Baker, RB Lamont Jordan, DE Jarvis Moss, and QB Tom Brandstater. Analysis: Kyle Orton will make the start again despite having an injured ankle. He threw mainly from the shotgun against the Chargers last Sunday, with limited success, but he will face the third-ranked overall defense, which ha... (More) | 3 hours | |
| 64. | Chargers | Phillips practices Thursday | (KFFL) San Diego Chargers P Mike Scifres (groin) fully participated in practice Thursday, Nov. 26. He will be able to play in Week 12. | 3 hours | |
| 65. | Chargers | Phillips practices Thursday | (KFFL) San Diego Chargers LB Shaun Phillips (ankle) fully participated in practice Thursday, Nov. 26. He is expected to play in Week 12. | 3 hours | |
| 66. | Kyle Orton | (RotoWire) Orton (ankle) is listed as active for Thursday's game against the Giants. Analysis: No surprise here, as he'll gut it out just like he did last week, but just an FYI for those wary of any sort of possible setback with Orton's ankle during warmups. | 3 hours | |
| 67. | Chargers | Merriman misses practice Thursday | (KFFL) San Diego Chargers LB Shawne Merriman (foot) did not participate in practice Thursday, Nov. 26, but is expected to play in Week 12. | 3 hours | |
| 68. | Giants inactives for Week 12 | (FFChamps) The New York Giants have announced the following players as inactive for today's game against the Denver Broncos: WR Ramses Barden, RB Ahmad Bradshaw, LB Antonio Pierce, T Adam Koets, T Guy Whimper, WR Sinorice Moss, CB Kevin Dockery and CB DJ Johnson. Analysis: Brandon Jacobs will be a work horse on the Thanksgiving night game against the Broncos with Bradshaw inactive because of an ankle injury. Gartrell Johnson will fill in the backup role. | 3 hours | |
| 69. | Chargers | T. Johnson practices Thursday | (KFFL) San Diego Chargers DE Travis Johnson (groin) fully participated in practice Thursday, Nov. 26. He is expected to play in Week 12. | 3 hours | |
| 70. | Chargers | V. Jackson practices Thursday | (KFFL) San Diego Chargers WR Vincent Jackson (ribs) fully participated in practice Thursday, Nov. 26. He is expected to play in Week 12. | 3 hours | |
| 71. | Bradshaw among Giants inactives | (Rotoworld) Giants declared RB Ahmad Bradshaw, LB Antonio Pierce, WR Sinorice Moss, DB D.J. Johnson, WR Ramses Barden, DB Kevin Dockery, OL Adam Koets and OT Guy Whimper inactive for Thursday's game against the Broncos. Analysis: Brandon Jacobs is set to carry a full load with Bradshaw out. Chase Blackburn is filling in for Antonio Pierce. | 3 hours | |
| 72. | Chargers | Hardwick limited Thursday | (KFFL) San Diego Chargers C Nick Hardwick (ankle) was limited during practice Thursday, Nov. 26. His status for Week 12 is uncertain. | 3 hours | |
| 73. | Eli Manning | (RotoWire) Manning (foot) is active for Thursday's game against the Broncos. Analysis: Feel free to roll with Manning as you normally would on the heels of his big game in Week 11's win over the Falcons. | 3 hours | |
| 74. | Chargers | Castillo misses practice Thursday | (KFFL) San Diego Chargers DE Luis A. Castillo (calf) did not participate in practice Thursday, Nov. 26. He may not be able to play in Week 12. | 3 hours | |
| 75. | Jordan among Broncos inactives | (Rotoworld) Broncos declared RB Lamont Jordan, QB Tom Brandstater, WR Kenny McKinley, OG Seth Olsen, DL Chris Baker, WR Brandon Lloyd, RT Ryan Harris and OLB Jarvis Moss inactive for Thursday's game against the Giants. Analysis: Kyle Orton will start, as expected. The biggest injury for the Broncos is starting RT Ryan Harris. It's a bad time for him to be out against the Giants' outstanding defensive line. Brian Dawkins (neck) is active and will start. | 3 hours | |
| 76. | 49ers | Lewis misses practice Thursday | (KFFL) Matt Maiocco, of The Santa Rosa Press Democrat, reports San Francisco 49ers SS Michael Lewis (quadriceps) did not participate in practice Thursday, Nov. 26. The 49ers believe he will be able to play. | 3 hours | |
| 77. | 49ers | Snyder, Willis practice Thursday | (KFFL) Matt Maiocco, of The Santa Rosa Press Democrat, reports San Francisco 49ers OT Adam Snyder (shoulder) and LB Patrick Willis (shoulder) fully participated in practice Thursday, Nov. 26. They will be able to play in Week 12. | 3 hours | |
| 78. | 49ers | Three practice Thursday | (KFFL) Matt Maiocco, of The Santa Rosa Press Democrat, reports San Francisco 49ers CB Tarell Brown (knee), CB Reggie Smith (abdomen) and SS Curtis Taylor (knee) fully participated in practice Thursday, Nov. 26. They will be available to play Week 12. | 3 hours | |
| 79. | Steven Jackson | (RotoWire) Jackson (back spasms) did not practice for the second straight day Thursday, but the Rams remain confident he'll play Sunday against Seattle, the Associated Press reports. Analysis: Jackson told coach Steve Spagnuolo that he felt better, but not good enough to practice on Thursday. More on Jackson's status after Friday's practice, but Samkon Gado and Kenneth Darby wait in the wings in the event that Jackson can't go or is slowed at all this weekend. | 3 hours | |
| 80. | 49ers | Baas practice Thursday | (KFFL) Matt Maiocco, of The Santa Rosa Press Democrat, reports San Francisco 49ers OG David Baas (ankle) fully participated in practice Thursday, Nov. 26. He is expected to start Week 12. | 3 hours | |
| 81. | 49ers | Hudson limited Thursday | (KFFL) Matt Maiocco, of The Santa Rosa Press Democrat, reports San Francisco 49ers FS Marcus Hudson (back) was limited during practice Thursday, Nov. 26. He should be available to play Week 12. | 3 hours | |
| 82. | 49ers | Battle misses practice Thursday | (KFFL) Matt Maiocco, of The Santa Rosa Press Democrat, reports San Francisco 49ers RB Michael Robinson (shoulder) did not participate in practice Thursday, Nov. 26. He is considered day-to-day. | 4 hours | |
| 83. | 49ers | Battle misses practice Thursday | (KFFL) Matt Maiocco, of The Santa Rosa Press Democrat, reports San Francisco 49ers WR Arnaz Battle (ankle) did not participate in practice He is considered questionable for Week 12. | 4 hours | |
| 84. | 49ers | Spikes misses practice Thursday | (KFFL) Matt Maiocco, of The Santa Rosa Press Democrat, reports San Francisco 49ers LB Takeo Spikes (hamstring) did not participate in practice Thursday, Nov. 26. He will be a game-time decision for Week 12. | 4 hours | |
| 85. | 49ers | Bruce misses practice Thursday | (KFFL) Matt Maiocco, of The Santa Rosa Press Democrat, reports San Francisco 49ers WR Isaac Bruce (ankle) did not participate in practice Thursday, Nov. 26. Head coach Mike Singletary said Bruce will not dress for Week 12. | 4 hours | |
| 86. | 49ers | Staley, Clements miss practice Thursday | (KFFL) Matt Maiocco, of The Santa Rosa Press Democrat, reports San Francisco 49ers OT Joe Staley (knee) and CB Nate Clements (shoulder) did not participate in practice Thursday, Nov. 26. They will not play in Week 12. | 4 hours | |
| 87. | Alston, Jon | Oak | (SportsGrumblings) Raiders LB Jon Alston placed on injured reserve Analysis: Linebacker Jon Alston was placed on injured reserve after missing last week's game with residual symptoms from a concussion, with rookie fourth-round pick Slade Norris taking his place on the roster. (IbaBuzz.com) | 4 hours | |
| 88. | Jaguars | Sims-Walker practices Thursday | (KFFL) Jacksonville Jaguars WR Mike Sims-Walker (knee) fully participated in practice Thursday, Nov. 26. He will be able to play in Week 12. | 4 hours | |
| 89. | Turner may be back as soon as Sunday | (FFChamps) According to Jay Glazer, reporting on FOX's pregame show today, Atlanta Falcons' running back Michael Turner may return from his high ankle sprain (suffered in Week 10) as soon as this Sunday, against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Analysis: Even though high ankle sprains usually take considerably longer than two weeks to heal, Turner's injury was somewhat downplayed from the outset. With Jerious Norwood having still not returned from the hip injury that has kept him sidelined for a month and a half, More) | 4 hours | |
| 90. | Jaguars | Jones-Drew practices Thursday | (KFFL) Jacksonville Jaguars RB Maurice Jones-Drew (knee) fully participated in practice Thursday, Nov. 26. He will be able to play in Week 12. | 4 hours | |

| 92. | Niners' OC doesn't think spread helped | (Rotoworld) 49ers offensive coordinator Jimmy Raye downplayed the effect the shotgun-spread formation had on his offense last week. Analysis: "I don't think the formation per se had a whole lot to do with it. The fact that we were in a semi-rally mode because we were down by four scores had something to do with it," Raye said. It's clear the coaches don't want to put Alex Smith in the shotgun full time even though he clearly looks more comfortable there. It will be interesting to see how often they use the formation when the score is close. | 4 hours | |
