|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1. | 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. | 3 minutes | |
| 2. | 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. | 3 minutes | |
| 3. | 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. | 27 minutes | |
| 4. | 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) | 27 minutes | |
| 5. | 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. | 30 minutes | |
| 6. | 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. | 30 minutes | |
| 7. | 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. | 40 minutes | |
| 8. | 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. | 42 minutes | |
| 9. | Texans | Dreessen day-to-day | (KFFL) CBSSports.com reports Houston Texans TE Joel Dreessen (shoulder) is day-to-day with a shoulder injury. | 44 minutes | |
| 10. | Texans | Ryans day-to-day | (KFFL) CBSSports.com reports Houston Texans LB DeMeco Ryans (ankle) is day-to-day with an ankle injury. | 44 minutes | |
| 11. | 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. | 48 minutes | |
| 12. | 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.

| 13. | 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) | 53 minutes | |
| 14. | 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. | 1 hour | |
| 15. | 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. | 1 hour | |
| 16. | 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) | 1 hour | |
| 17. | Dolphins | Carroll works out Tuesday | (KFFL) Adam Caplan, of Scout.com, reports the Miami Dolphins worked out free-agent CB Ahmad Carroll (Jets) Tuesday, Nov. 24, according to a source. | 1 hour | |
| 18. | Lions | M. White will likely start Week 12 | (KFFL) John Niyo, of The Detroit News, reports Detroit Lions SS Marvin White will likely start the team's Week 12 game at strong safety. | 1 hour | |
| 19. | 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." | 1 hour | |
| 20. | 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. | 1 hour | |
| 21. | 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. | 1 hour | |
| 22. | 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. | 1 hour | |
| 23. | 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. | 1 hour | |
| 24. | 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) | 1 hour | |
| 25. | Raiders | Changes coming to return game? | (KFFL) CBSSports.com reports the Oakland Raiders could be making some changes to their return game. WR Johnnie Lee Higgins and WR Jonathan Holland have both struggled this season. Head coach Tom Cable said, "We're working on some things right now to try and create some competition out there." | 1 hour | |
| 26. | 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. | 1 hour | |
| 27. | Raiders | Seymour practices in full Tuesday | (KFFL) CBSSports.com reports Oakland Raiders DE Richard Seymour (back) practiced in full Tuesday, Nov. 24. | 1 hour | |
| 28. | 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. Alston has suffered multiple concussions this season. Head coach Tom Cable said Alson was dizzy and vomiting Saturday, Nov. 21. Cable added, "He's having some residual effects from that last concussion he had." | 1 hour | |
| 29. | Raiders | Ekejiuba misses practice Tuesday | (KFFL) CBSSports.com reports Oakland Raiders LB Isaiah Ekejiuba (knee) missed the team's practice Tuesday, Nov. 24, and he is questionable for Week 12. | 1 hour | |
| 30. | 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. | 1 hour | |
| 31. | 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. | 1 hour | |
| 32. | 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) | 1 hour | |
| 33. | Broncos | Orton practices in full Tuesday | (KFFL) Lindsay Jones, of The Denver Post, reports Denver Broncos QB Kyle Orton (ankle) practiced in full Tuesday, Nov. 24. | 1 hour | |
| 34. | Broncos | Harris limited Tuesday | (KFFL) Lindsay Jones, of The Denver Post, reports Denver Broncos OT Ryan Harris (toe) was limited during the team's light practice Tuesday, Nov. 24. | 1 hour | |
| 35. | Broncos | Jordan misses practice Tuesday | (KFFL) Lindsay Jones, of The Denver Post, reports Denver Broncos RB Lamont Jordan (back) missed the team's light practice Tuesday, Nov. 24. | 1 hour | |
| 36. | 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) | 1 hour | |
| 37. | 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. | 1 hour | |
| 38. | Browns | Stamer released | (KFFL) Aaron Wilson, of the National Football Post, reports Cleveland Browns LB Josh Stamer has been released. | 2 hours | |
| 39. | Bengals | Benson day-to-day | (KFFL) Joe Reedy, of The Cincinnati Enquirer, reports Cincinnati Bengals RB Cedric Benson's (hip) injury is being taken day to day, according to head coach Marvin Lewis. | 2 hours | |
| 40. | 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. | 2 hours | |
| 41. | 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. | 2 hours | |
| 42. | 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. | 2 hours | |
| 43. | 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. | 2 hours | |
| 44. | 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. | 2 hours | |
| 45. | 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) | 2 hours | |
| 46. | 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. | 3 hours | |
| 47. | 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. | 3 hours | |
| 48. | 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. | 3 hours | |
| 49. | 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. | 3 hours | |
| 50. | Colts | Hart waived | (KFFL) ESPN's Adam Schefter reports the Indianapolis Colts waived RB Mike Hart Tuesday, Nov. 24. | 3 hours | |
| 51. | 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. | 3 hours | |
| 52. | 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. | 3 hours | |
| 53. | 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. | 3 hours | |
| 54. | Richard Seymour | (RotoWire) Seymour (back) practiced without limitations on Tuesday, the Contra Costa Times reports. Analysis: Tom Cable reported Monday that Seymour felt "pretty good," and his full participation Tuesday confirms that Seymour has a good shot to play against the Cowboys on Thursday. | 3 hours | |
| 55. | Dolphins | Alama-Francis signed | (KFFL) ESPN.com reports the Miami Dolphins signed free-agent DL Ikaika Alama-Francis (Lions) Tuesday, Nov. 24. Terms of the deal were not disclosed. | 3 hours | |
| 56. | Charles Ali | (RotoWire) Ali signed with the Ravens on Tuesday, the Baltimore Sun reports. Analysis: With Ray Rice, Willis McGahee, and Le'Ron McClain entrenched in the Ravens' backfield, Ali's impact will be minimal barring a string of injuries. | 3 hours | |
| 57. | Dolphins | Roth waived | (KFFL) ESPN.com reports the Miami Dolphins waived LB Matt Roth Tuesday, Nov. 24. | 3 hours | |
| 58. | Packers activate CB Trevor Ford | (Rotoworld) Packers activated CB Trevor Ford from the practice squad. Analysis: Ford, undrafted out of Troy, will take Al Harris' (torn ACL) roster spot. | 3 hours | |
| 59. | Fabian Washington | (RotoWire) Washington (knee) has been placed on injured reserve, the Baltimore Sun reports. Analysis: Washington most likely tore his ACL during Sunday's loss to the Colts. Lardarius Webb appears to be in line to take over as a starting corner. | 3 hours | |
| 60. | Bears | Clark, Payne expected to return to practice | (KFFL) Brad Biggs, of the Chicago Sun-Times, reports Chicago Bears TE Desmond Clark (neck) and SS Kevin Payne (back) are expected to return to practice this week and could play in Week 12. | 3 hours | |
| 61. | Bears | Bell not expected to see increased role | (KFFL) Brad Biggs, of the Chicago Sun-Times, reports Chicago Bears RB Khalil Bell is not in line to see more carries despite the struggles of RB Matt Forte. However, Bell will continue to be a part of the offense. "You need more than one good running back. We've even played three good running backs around here, so to answer your question, I do see Khalil continuing to be a part of our offense, and with production like that, why not?" head coach Lovie Smith said. | 3 hours | |
| 62. | Ben Roethlisberger expected to play in week 12 | (FFToolbox) Concussion injuries are all the rage in the NFL. Recently, some high profile players have missed games due to their brain injury, but Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger is unlikely to be one of those players. According to the Associated Press, Roethlisberger has a concussion, but is expected to play this Sunday at Baltimore as long as he continues to pass the daily tests given to players who have sustained the injury. Head coach Mike Tomlin said on Tuesday that he expects Roethlisberger to play. He plans to go into the game with Roethlisberger and second-year player More) | 3 hours | |
| 63. | Dolphins sign DE Ikaika Alama-Francis | (Rotoworld) Dolphins signed DE Ikaika Alama-Francis, formerly of the Lions. Analysis: Miami needed depth at defensive tackle with Randy Starks and Tony McDaniel set to see time at nose tackle after Jason Ferguson's season-ending torn quadriceps muscle. Alama-Francis was raw coming out of Hawaii but is a worthwhile project for the Dolphins. | 3 hours | |
| 64. | DeMarcus Ware | (RotoWire) Ware (foot) was listed as a full participant in Tuesday's practice, the Dallas Morning News reports. Analysis: Ware should be available to deploy as an IDP against the Raiders on Thursday. | 3 hours | |
| 65. | Marion Barber | (RotoWire) Barber (thumb) was listed as a full participant in Tuesday's practice, the Dallas Morning News reports. Analysis: Barber's thumb didn't bother him much against the Redskins on Sunday, and he faces a much better matchup Thursday going up against a Raiders defense that has allowed 4.4 YPC and the third-most rushing yards in the league thus far. | 3 hours | |
| 66. | Chargers | Trying to sign Runyan | (KFFL) Adam Schefter, of ESPN, reports the San Diego Chargers are stepping up their efforts to sign free-agent OT Jon Runyan (Eagles) with OT Jeromey Clary (leg) injured, according to a source close to the situation. Runyan is traveling to San Diego Tuesday, Nov. 24, to try and finalize a contract. | 3 hours | |
| 67. | Dolphins cut ties with linebacker Matt R... | (Rotoworld) According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, the Dolphins have waived OLB Matt Roth. Analysis: Roth earned the ire of the coaching staff and the front office after he sat out training camp with a groin injury despite gaining clearance from doctors. Set to hit free agency after the season, he wasn't going to return to the Dolphins regardless. Miami is deep at outside linebacker, so Roth was the odd man out the rest of the way. | 3 hours | |
| 68. | Mark Clayton | (RotoWire) Clayton recorded just one reception for 10 yards during Sunday's loss to Indianapolis. Analysis: As the fourth or fifth option in a middling passing attack, it'd be wise to steer away from Clayton this week against the Steelers. Clayton has two receptions for 25 yards combined in the last three weeks. | 3 hours | |
| 69. | Giants | Ware has made good impression | (KFFL) 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. | 3 hours | |
| 70. | Tony Romo | (RotoWire) As expected, Romo (back) was a limited participant in Tuesday's practice but reiterated that he will play against the Raiders on Thursday, the Dallas Morning News reports. Analysis: Jon Kitna received some extra work during practice once again Tuesday, but it still looks like Romo will be ready to play on Thursday. | 3 hours | |
| 71. | Broncos RT Harris begins practicing | (Rotoworld) Broncos RT Ryan Harris (toes) has resumed practicing, but his status for Thursday's game remains in question. Analysis: There's a chance that Harris could play, but much will depend on how his injury responds after a day of practice. His replacement, Tyler Polumbus, has been exploited, so Harris' return would be a boon for the offense. | 3 hours | |
| 72. | Kelley Washington | (RotoWire) Washington was held to one reception for eight yards during Sunday's loss to Indianapolis. Analysis: The Ravens' passing attack has hit the skids as of late, and Washington's production has suffered. He routinely put up 50-yard games in the season's first half, but has caught just two passes for 18 yards in the last three weeks. The Ravens' offense will have a tough time regaining traction this week against the Steelers. | 3 hours | |
| 73. | Orton practices again on Tuesday | (Rotoworld) Kyle Orton (ankle) participated in Broncos practice again on Tuesday. Analysis: Orton is confident that he'll start against the Giants Thursday night. Even on a gimpy ankle, he's a far superior option to Chris Simms. Still, it's hard to recommend Orton as a fantasy play until he's back to full health. | 3 hours | |
| 74. | Jason Witten | (RotoWire) Witten (foot) was listed as a limited participant in Tuesday's practice, the Dallas Morning News reports. The Associated Press reports that Witten will be a game-time decision against the Raiders on Thursday. Analysis: Witten suffered a sprained foot during Sunday's win over Washington, and his status is in question mainly because the Cowboys have to turn around and play again on Thursday. Head coach Wade Phillips noted Tuesday that doctors are saying Witten may suffer further injury if he attempts to play. Be sure to check back Wednesday for Witten's final injury designation. | 3 hours | |
| 75. | Dolphins | Oglesby signed | (KFFL) Omar Kelly, of the South Florida Sun-Sentinel, reports the Miami Dolphins signed free-agent CB Evan Oglesby (Ravens) to their active roster Tuesday, Nov. 24. | 3 hours | |
| 76. | Dolphins | Ness cut | (KFFL) Omar Kelly, of the South Florida Sun-Sentinel, reports the Miami Dolphins cut SS Nate Ness Tuesday, Nov. 24. | 3 hours | |
| 77. | Joe Flacco | (RotoWire) Flacco completed 23-of-35 passes for 256 yards, no touchdowns and an interception during Sunday's lost to Indianapolis. Analysis: Maybe it's midseason doldrums, but Flacco seems to be having trouble finding receivers not names Derrick Mason or Ray Rice. The two combined for 16 receptions against the Colts, compared to just seven for the rest of team. Flacco appeared to lock on to Rice during his 4th quarter interception thrown into triple coverage. This Sunday's matchup against the Steelers shouldn't inspire confidence in Flacco owners. | 3 hours | |
| 78. | 49ers | Baas fine | (KFFL) Kevin Lynch, of the San Francisco Chronicle, reports San Francisco 49ers OG David Baas (ankle) has been walking without a limp and said he is fine. | 3 hours | |
| 79. | 49ers | Hudson to have back scanned | (KFFL) Kevin Lynch, of the San Francisco Chronicle, reports San Francisco 49ers CB Marcus Hudson (back) is scheduled to have his back scanned. | 3 hours | |
| 80. | 49ers | Robinson to undergo MRI | (KFFL) Kevin Lynch, of the San Francisco Chronicle, reports San Francisco 49ers RB Michael Robinson (shoulder) was scheduled to undergo an MRI on his shoulder stinger. | 3 hours | |
| 81. | Kevin Smith | (RotoWire) Smith (hip) was listed as a limited participant in Tuesday's practice. Analysis: Smith didn't show signs of a hip injury during Sunday's big performance against the Browns, so barring a surprise he should be able to take the field on Thursday against a Packers defense yielding just 3.7 YPC. | 3 hours | |
| 82. | Romo, Witten return to practice Tuesday | (Rotoworld) Tony Romo (back) returned to a limited practice Tuesday, as expected. Analysis: Romo will start against the Raiders on Thanksgiving, so it's safe to get him back in fantasy lineups. The Raiders allow the 19th most fantasy points to opposing quarterbacks, mostly because teams can move the ball effectively on the ground. | 3 hours | |
| 83. | Charles Woodson | (RotoWire) Woodson (hip) was listed as a limited participant in Tuesday's practice. Analysis: Woodson received his usual early-week rest after participating in some team workouts. He should be available to defend against a Lions passing attack that will likely be led by Daunte Culpepper on Thanksgiving Day. | 3 hours | |
| 84. | Witten a game-time decision for Thanksgi... | (Rotoworld) According to coach Wade Phillips, Jason Witten (foot) will be a game-time decision after returning to a limited practice Tuesday. Analysis: Witten's injury is being described as a sprained foot. The return to practice would seem to be a positive sign, but Phillips said he's "a little bit worried" about Witten being able to play. Considering Witten's history, which includes playing through a painful broken rib, we're optimistic that he'll be in the lineup Thursday afternoon. If not, Martellus Bennett would be a viable fantasy play against the Raiders. | 3 hours | |
| 85. | Ryan Grant | (RotoWire) Grant (neck) was listed as a full participant in Tuesday's practice. Analysis: Grant suffered a mild stinger during Sunday's win over the 49ers, but he should be available on Thanksgiving against a Lions defense ceding 4.5 YPC. | 4 hours | |
| 86. | Report: Jon Runyan on way to San Diego | (Rotoworld) Ex-Eagles OT Jon Runyan is reportedly on his way to San Diego to "try to work out a deal" with the Chargers. Analysis: The Chargers are desperate for a veteran presence at right tackle after losing Jeromey Clary to a serious ankle injury last week. Several teams have kicked the tires on the 36-year-old Runyan only to explore other options. | 4 hours | |
