| 1. | Eagles | Maclin practices Thursday |
(KFFL) Les Bowen, of the Philadelphia Daily News, reports Philadelphia Eagles WR Jeremy Maclin (foot) fully participated in practice Thursday, Nov. 26. He should be able to play in Week 12. | less than a minute |
|
| 2. | Eagles | Curtis misses practice Thursday |
(KFFL) Les Bowen, of the Philadelphia Daily News, reports Philadelphia Eagles WR Kevin Curtis (knee) did not participate in practice Thursday, Nov. 26. He will not play in Week 12. | 2 minutes |
| 3. | Eagles | Westbrook misses practice Thursday |
(KFFL) Les Bowen, of the Philadelphia Daily News, reports Philadelphia Eagles RB Brian Westbrook (concussion) did not participate in practice Thursday, Nov. 26. He will not play in Week 12. | 3 minutes |
| 4. | Ravens | L. Smith practices Thursday |
(KFFL) Jamison Hensley, of The Baltimore Sun, reports Baltimore Ravens TE L.J. Smith (illness) fully participated in practice Thursday, Nov. 26. He will be the main backup tight end in Week 12. | 8 minutes |
| 5. | Ravens | Heap practice Thursday |
(KFFL) Jamison Hensley, of The Baltimore Sun, reports Baltimore Ravens TE Todd Heap (ribs) fully participated in practice Thursday, Nov. 26. He will be able to start in Week 12. | 11 minutes |
| 6. | Ravens | Birk, J. Johnson practice Thursday |
(KFFL) Jamison Hensley, of The Baltimore Sun, reports Baltimore Ravens C Matt Birk (neck) and LB Jarret Johnson (shoulder) fully participated in practice Thursday, Nov. 26. Both will be able to start in Week 12. | 12 minutes |
| 7. | Ravens | Ngata limited Thursday |
(KFFL) Jamison Hensley, of The Baltimore Sun, reports Baltimore Ravens DT Haloti Ngata (ankle) was limited during practice Thursday, Nov. 26. He will be able to start in Week 12. | 14 minutes |
| 8. | Ravens | Reed misses practice Thursday |
(KFFL) Jamison Hensley, of The Baltimore Sun, reports Baltimore Ravens FS Ed Reed (foot) did not participate in practice Thursday, Nov. 26. He will be able to start in Week 12. | 15 minutes |
| 9. | Finley catches three balls in Week 12 |
(Rotoworld) Jermichael Finley caught three passes for 25 yards in Week 12. Analysis: Finley generated more yardage in penalties than he did with the ball in his hands, drawing a pair of 15-yard personal foul calls. He couldn't have asked for a better fantasy matchup, but his role in Green Bay's offense is inconsistent. Consider Finley a boom-or-bust TE1 at Baltimore in Week 13. | 17 minutes |
| 10. | Ravens | Suggs misses practice Thursday |
(KFFL) Jamison Hensley, of The Baltimore Sun, reports Baltimore Ravens LB Terrell Suggs (knee) did not participate in practice Thursday, Nov. 26. He likely will not play in Week 12. | 17 minutes |
| 11. | Ravens | Lewis misses practice Thursday |
(KFFL) Jamison Hensley, of The Baltimore Sun, reports Baltimore Ravens LB Ray Lewis (foot) did not participate in practice Thursday, Nov. 26. He will be able to start in Week 12. | 19 minutes |
| 12. | Bryant Johnson catches one pass |
(Rotoworld) Bryant Johnson caught one ball for 17 yards in Week 12. Analysis: Johnson made a nice play over the middle on his lone reception, but saw just three targets in the loss and isn't worth owning in 12-team leagues. | 20 minutes |
| 13. | Singletary confirms that Bly will start |
(Rotoworld) 49ers coach Mike Singletary confirmed that Dre' Bly will start over Tarell Brown at left corner this week. Analysis: Nate Clements was sent to the bench a few weeks back in favor of Brown, but that experiment isn't working out. Bly has more experience but doesn't provide much of an upgrade over Brown. | 23 minutes |
| 14. | Calvin Johnson's fantasy day saved by TD |
(Rotoworld) Calvin Johnson caught just two balls for 10 yards and a touchdown in the Lions' Week 12 loss to Green Bay. Analysis: Johnson's fantasy day was saved by his first-quarter TD, which came on a fade with Charles Woodson in coverage. Woodson buckled down from that point on, blanketing Johnson and preventing him from getting free deep. Calvin also was in and out of the lineup, wincing because of his knee injury. Expect him to be limited in practice before facing Cincinnati in Week 13. | 23 minutes |
| 15. | Bruce won't be active in Week 12 |
(Rotoworld) Isaac Bruce will not be active in Week 12. Analysis: Bruce has lost his starting job to Josh Morgan and the No. 3 job to Jason Hill. He was active last week and caught one pass, but he's more like a coach now. The Niners need his roster spot for someone who plays special teams. | 26 minutes |
| 16. | Kevin Smith gets 22 touches in loss |
(Rotoworld) Kevin Smith managed just 43 yards on 18 carries and caught four passes for 46 yards in the Lions' Week 12 loss. Analysis: Smith is getting the touches (Maurice Morris only got the ball three times), but isn't capitalizing. While the matchup was difficult, Smith didn't create anything on his own, packs little power, and failed to execute on several red-zone carries. Consider Smith a weak flex option at Cincinnati in Week 13. | 27 minutes |
| 17. | Dolphins | Smiley practices Thursday |
(KFFL) Omar Kelly, of the South Florida Sun-Sentinel, reports Miami Dolphins OG Justin Smiley (shoulder) fully participated in practice Thursday, Nov. 26. He is expected to play in Week 12 and may start. | 29 minutes |
| 18. | Stafford picked off four times as Lions ... |
(Rotoworld) Matthew Stafford completed just 20-of-43 passes for 213 yards, one TD, and four interceptions in the Lions' Week 12 loss to Green Bay. Analysis: Stafford's bum left shoulder wasn't an issue early, but it clearly caused him pain the final two quarters. Still, his decision making was the problem. Several of his picks came on ill-advised throws, and his fourth was returned 38 yards for a score by Charles Woodson. Despite impressive toughness and a five-TD Week 11, Stafford will be a low-end QB2 in Week 13 at Cincy. | 31 minutes |
| 19. | Dolphins | Dotson misses practice Thursday |
(KFFL) Omar Kelly, of the South Florida Sun-Sentinel, reports Miami Dolphins DE Lionel Dotson (ankle) did not participate in practice Thursday, Nov. 26. He is considered questionable for Week 12. | 31 minutes |
| 20. | Dolphins | Culver practices Thursday |
(KFFL) Omar Kelly, of the South Florida Sun-Sentinel, reports Miami Dolphins FS Tyrone Culver (ankle) fully participated in practice Thursday, Nov. 26. He is expected to play in Week 12. | 34 minutes |
| 21. | Dolphins | Williams practices Thursday |
(KFFL) Omar Kelly, of the South Florida Sun-Sentinel, reports Miami Dolphins RB Ricky Williams (chest) fully participated in practice Thursday, Nov. 26. He is expected to play in Week 12. | 35 minutes |
| 22. | Dolphins | Grove misses practice Thursday |
(KFFL) Omar Kelly, of the South Florida Sun-Sentinel, reports Miami Dolphins C Jake Grove (ankle) did not participate in practice Thursday, Nov. 26. He is considered questionable for Week 12. | 37 minutes |
| 23. | Ryan Grant gets 23 touches in win |
(Rotoworld) Ryan Grant managed just 61 yards on 20 carries and caught three passes for 42 yards in the Packers' Week 12 win. Analysis: The Packers came out running, giving Grant the ball six times on their first drive, but resorted to the pass because it was so successful. While more was expected in this matchup, Grant still topped 100 total yards and now has 431 in his last four games. He faces a stout Ravens run defense in Week 13. | 37 minutes |
| 24. | Dolphins | Berger practices Thursday |
(KFFL) Omar Kelly, of the South Florida Sun-Sentinel, reports Miami Dolphins OG Joe Berger (knee) fully participated in practice Thursday, Nov. 26. He was working with the starters at center during practice. | 37 minutes |
| 25. | Greg Jennings has 53 yards as Packers ro... |
(Rotoworld) Greg Jennings caught four balls for 53 yards in the Packers' Week 12 thrashing of the Lions. Analysis: Jennings took a slant-and-go 33 yards in the first quarter, but was otherwise quiet as Donald Driver stole the show again. While Driver is clearly Green Bay's No. 1 wide receiver, Jennings should be kept going in fantasy leagues against Baltimore's injury-plagued, burnable secondary in Week 13. | 41 minutes |
| 26. | Dolphins | Fasano practices Thursday |
(KFFL) Omar Kelly, of the South Florida Sun-Sentinel, reports Miami Dolphins TE Anthony Fasano (hip) fully participated in practice Thursday, Nov. 26. He is considered questionable for Week 12. | 43 minutes |
| 27. | Dolphins | Wilson practices Thursday |
(KFFL) Omar Kelly, of the South Florida Sun-Sentinel, reports Miami Dolphins FS Gibril Wilson (hamstring) fully participated in practice Thursday, Nov. 26. He is expected to start in Week 12. | 44 minutes |
| 28. | Driver eats up Lions on Turkey Day |
(Rotoworld) Donald Driver caught seven balls for 142 yards and a touchdown in the Packers' Week 12 rout of Detroit. Analysis: Driver caught Lions SS Marvin White 1-on-1 at the end of the first quarter and beat him for a 68-yard bomb to set up Donald Lee's seven-yard TD. Driver caught his own seven-yard touchdown in the third. The 34-year-old continues to show no signs of decline and has been the Packers' most productive wideout all year long. He's a rock-solid WR2 in Week 12 at Baltimore. | 45 minutes |
| 29. | Rodgers roasts Lions for 348 yards, thre... |
(Rotoworld) Aaron Rodgers completed 28-of-39 passes for 348 yards and three touchdowns as the Packers blew out the Lions 34-12 on Thanksgiving. Analysis: Green Bay's wideouts consistently got behind the NFL's worst secondary and A-Rod had plenty of time to connect. Sacked just once, Rodgers improved his 2009 TD to INT ratio to 22:5. Green Bay employed a pass-first attack, rushing 24 times compared to 39 throws. Rodgers is averaging 40 pass attempts a game over the last five weeks. He gets a weak Baltimore pass defense next. | 46 minutes |
| 30. | Cedric Benson has "slight possibility" to play in week 12 |
(FFToolbox) Despite the encouraging words from Cincinnati Bengals head coach Marvin Lewis yesterday, it seems less and less likely that running back Cedric Benson will play Sunday against the Cleveland Browns. Benson did not practice with the team on Thursday and still hasn't practiced since injuring his hip in week 10. He did do some work on the side field and according to the Cincinnati Enquirer, "there remains a slight possibility that he might play on Sunday." Lewis said during a Wednesday press conference that Benson would have a "good opportunity" to play this weekend. Rookie running back More) | 46 minutes |
| 31. | Bears | Harris practices Thursday |
(KFFL) Brad Biggs, of the Chicago Sun-Times, reports Chicago Bears DT Tommie Harris (knee) fully participated in practice Thursday, Nov. 26. He will be able to start in Week 12. | 47 minutes |
| 32. | Bears | K. Davis practices Thursday |
(KFFL) Brad Biggs, of the Chicago Sun-Times, reports Chicago Bears TE Kellen Davis (ankle) fully participated in practice Thursday, Nov. 26. He is expected to play in Week 12. | 49 minutes |
| 33. | Bears | Garza limited Thursday |
(KFFL) Brad Biggs, of the Chicago Sun-Times, reports Chicago Bears OG Roberto Garza (ankle) was limited during practice Thursday, Nov. 26. He is expected to start in Week 12. | 51 minutes |
| 34. | Karlos Dansby |
(RotoWire) Dansby (shoulder) was a full participant in Thursday's practice, the Cardinals' official site reports. Analysis: This is further evidence that Dansby should be in the Cardinals' starting lineup on Sunday. Prior to Thursday, he had been limited in four straight practices. | 51 minutes |
| 35. | Bears | Payne practices Thursday |
(KFFL) Brad Biggs, of the Chicago Sun-Times, reports Chicago Bears SS Kevin Payne (back) fully participated in practice Thursday, Nov. 26. He is expected to be available for Week 12. | 53 minutes |
| 36. | Bears | Clark misses practice Thursday |
(KFFL) Brad Biggs, of the Chicago Sun-Times, reports Chicago Bears TE Desmond Clark (neck) did not participate in practice Thursday, Nov. 26. He is considered questionable for Week 12. | 55 minutes |
| 37. | Witten, Jason | Dal |
(SportsGrumblings) Cowboys TE Jason Witten will be active for today's game | 58 minutes |
| 38. | Hamlin, Ken | Dal |
(SportsGrumblings) Cowboys S Ken Hamlin inactive today. | 59 minutes |
| 39. | Mike Sims-Walker |
(RotoWire) Sims-Walker (knee) practiced fully Thursday, the Jaguars' official site reports. Analysis: It looks safe to roll with Sims-Walker this week, but we'll check back on his official injury designation Friday nonetheless. | 59 minutes |
| 40. | Raiders release CB Bowie |
(Rotoworld) Raiders released CB John Bowie with an injury settlement. Analysis: The Raiders have given up on the player they drafted with the pick they acquired for Randy Moss before the 2007 season. Bowie is an injury-prone speed demon. He should catch on elsewhere on a futures deal in January. | 1 hour |
| 41. | Maurice Jones-Drew |
(RotoWire) Jones-Drew (knee) practiced fully Thursday, the Jaguars' official site reports. Analysis: Jones-Drew may end up listed as probable Friday, but his full practice Thursday gives his owners something to be thankful for. | 1 hour |
| 42. | Richard Seymour |
(RotoWire) Seymour (back) is listed as active for Thursday's game against the Cowboys. Analysis: Seymour has been a strong presence on the Raiders' defensive front, but his IDP numbers (30 tackles, four sacks) through 10 games have been marginal. | 1 hour |
| 43. | Javon Walker |
(RotoWire) Walker (hamstring) is inactive for Thursday's game against the Cowboys. Analysis: It's unlikely that Walker will help any fantasy teams this season. | 1 hour |
| 44. | Cowboys | Romo active for Week 12 |
(KFFL) NFL.com reports Dallas Cowboys QB Tony Romo (back) is active for Week 12. | 1 hour |
| 45. | Cowboys | Witten active for Week 12 |
(KFFL) NFL.com reports Dallas Cowboys TE Jason Witten (foot) is active for Week 12. | 1 hour |
| 46. | Keith Brooking |
(RotoWire) Brooking (ankle) is active for Thursday's game against Oakland. Analysis: Brooking has a fantasy-friendly 73 tackles and three sacks in 10 games thus far, so feel free to roll with him on Thanksgiving. | 1 hour |
| 47. | DeMarcus Ware |
(RotoWire) Ware (foot) is active for Thursday's game against Oakland. Analysis: Feel free to use Ware, who has has seven sacks over his last six games, as you normally would. | 1 hour |
| 48. | Falcons | Coleman, Clabo practice Thursday |
(KFFL) D. Orlando Ledbetter, of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, reports Atlanta Falcons SS Erik Coleman (knee) and OT Tyson Clabo (knee) fully participated in practice Thursday, Nov. 26. They likely will play in Week 12. | 1 hour |
| 49. | Marion Barber |
(RotoWire) Barber (thumb) is active for Thursday's game against Oakland. Analysis: Barber's Thursday matchup looks good, as he will take aim at an Oakland defense that ranks 30th in the NFL against the run (157.7 YPG) and has allowed a league-high 16 rushing TDs. | 1 hour |
| 50. | Julius Jones will start when healthy |
(FFToolbox) Seattle Seahawks running back Julius Jones missed the majority of the past two games with a lung contusion. In his place, Justin Forsett has played well. The speedy back has gained 238 total yards in two games and has scored in each. But head coach Jim Mora Jr. said Wednesday that when Jones is ready to return, he will be the team's starting running back. The question is whether Jones will be ready to return this week against the St. Louis Rams. Jones didn't practice on Wednesday. Mora had hoped Jones would be able to practice and begin... (More) | 1 hour |
| 51. | Falcons | Norwood practices Thursday |
(KFFL) D. Orlando Ledbetter, of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, reports Atlanta Falcons RB Jerious Norwood (hip) fully participated in practice Thursday, Nov. 26. He likely will play in Week 12. | 1 hour |
| 52. | Tony Romo |
(RotoWire) Romo (back) is active for Thursday's game against Oakland. Analysis: No surprise here, but the good news to add is that Romo will have TE Jason Witten (who had been game-time decision) to throw to this week. | 1 hour |
| 53. | Falcons | Baker, Lofton limited Thursday |
(KFFL) D. Orlando Ledbetter, of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, reports Atlanta Falcons OT Sam Baker (elbow) and LB Curtis Lofton (knee, groin) were limited during practice Thursday, Nov. 26. They likely will be able to play in Week 12. | 1 hour |
| 54. | Raiders inactives for Week 12 |
(FFChamps) The Oakland Raiders have announced the following players as inactive for today's game against the Dallas Cowboys: LB David Nixon, LB Slade Norris, WR Nick Miller, QB Charlie Frye, WR Todd Watkins, T Erik Pears, T Khalif Barnes, and WR Javon Walker. Analysis: There are no major surprises on the Raiders inactive list. All of their key players are healthy and ready for the Cowboys on Thanksgiving Day. Defensive linemen Greg Ellis and More) | 1 hour |
| 55. | Falcons | Turner limited Thursday |
(KFFL) D. Orlando Ledbetter, of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, reports Atlanta Falcons RB Michael Turner (ankle) was limited during practice Thursday, Nov. 26. He will be a game-time decision for Week 12. | 1 hour |
| 56. | Falcons | Finneran misses practice Thursday |
(KFFL) D. Orlando Ledbetter, of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, reports Atlanta Falcons WR Brian Finneran (knee) did not participate in practice Thursday, Nov. 26.He likely will not play in Week 12. | 1 hour |
| 57. | Raiders declare inactives |
(Rotoworld) Raiders declared WR Javon Walker, LB David Nixon, LB Slade Norris, OT Khalif Barnes, third QB Charlie Frye, OT Erik Pears, KR Nick Miller, and WR Todd Watkins inactive for Thanksgiving Thursday. Analysis: Walker has a hamstring injury, but probably wouldn't have been active even if he was 100 percent. JaMarcus Russell will back up Bruce Gradkowski. | 1 hour |
| 58. | Terrence McGee |
(RotoWire) McGee (knee) was able to practice for the first time in several weeks on Thursday, on a limited basis, BuffaloBills.com reports. Analysis: The Buffalo pass defense has actually held up pretty well without starters McGee and Leodis McKelvin in recent weeks, though it'd still be a huge boost to have their best defensive back in the lineup against the favored Dolphins. | 1 hour |
| 59. | Cowboys inactives for Week 12 |
(FFChamps) The Dallas Cowboys have announced the following players as inactive for today's game against the Oakland Raiders: SAF Ken Hamlin, LB Jason Williams, G Montrae Holland, C Duke Preston, QB Stephen McGee, CB Cletis Gordon, OT Marc Columbo, and LB Curtis Johnson. Analysis: Jason Witten is active and will make the start against the Raiders. He was listed as questionable on Wednesday with a sprained foot in a shortened practice week. | 1 hour |
| 60. | Witten starting Thursday against the Rai... |
(Rotoworld) Jason Witten is active and will start Thursday against the Raiders. Analysis: Witten is only a borderline fantasy starter. Tony Romo (back) will also start, as expected. The Cowboys' inactives are FS Ken Hamlin, CB Cletis Gordon, LB Jason Williams, rookie third QB Stephen McGee, G Montrae Holland, C Duke Preston, LB Curtis Johnson, and injured right tackle Marc Colombo. | 1 hour |
| 61. | Jason Witten |
(RotoWire) Witten (sprained foot) is active for Thursday's game against the Raiders, the Dallas Morning News reports. Analysis: As a result, Witten will extend his starting streak with the Cowboys to 102 straight games. | 1 hour |
| 62. | Falcons | White practices Thursday |
(KFFL) D. Orlando Ledbetter, of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, reports Atlanta Falcons WR Roddy White (knee) fully participated in practice Thursday, Nov. 26. He likely will be able to play in Week 12. | 1 hour |
| 63. | Marcus Stroud |
(RotoWire) Stroud (knee) was a non-participant in Thursday's practice, BuffaloBills.com reports. Analysis: Stroud is still optimistic about playing this week against Miami, but if he fails to get through some of Friday's practice that may be in serious jeopardy. The Bills are already lousy against the run, and stopping Ricky Williams would be that much more difficult without the capable Stroud. | 1 hour |
| 64. | Jones-Drew back to practice |
(Rotoworld) Maurice Jones-Drew (knee) returned to Jaguars practice Thursday. Analysis: MoJo is on pace for 21 rushing scores this season and will start Sunday vs. a 49ers defense that gave up 145 yards and a TD to Ryan Grant last week. | 1 hour |
| 65. | Witten active |
(FFChamps) Cowboys tight end Jason Witten will be active against the Raiders on Thanksgiving Day and make his 102nd straight start. He was listed as questionable on Wednesday with a sprained foot sustained in the Cowboys Week 11 game against the Redskins. Analysis: Witten will make the start, but he has not put up numbers like he used to as the Cowboys have split the tight end plays between Witten and Martellus Bennett. | 1 hour |
| 66. | Demetrius Bell |
(RotoWire) Bell (knee) was a non-participant in Thursday's practice, BuffaloBills.com reports. Analysis: He's getting closer to a return so an IR placement looks doubtful, but the odds are pretty slim he'll be able to go this week. Jonathan Scott is slated to play left tackle. | 1 hour |
| 67. | Sims-Walker returns |
(Rotoworld) Mike Sims-Walker (knee) returned to Jaguars practice Thursday. Analysis: Sims-Walker's "injury" was never a concern. He will start on Sunday and makes for a borderline WR1 against San Francisco's No. 29 pass defense. | 1 hour |
| 68. | Berrian limited in practice |
(Rotoworld) Bernard Berrian (hamstring) was limited again on Thursday. Analysis: Berrian will likely be listed as questionable on Friday's final injury report. While he's fully expected to face Chicago, he's a weak fantasy option. | 1 hour |
| 69. | S-Jax sits out Thursday, but Rams optimi... |
(Rotoworld) Steven Jackson (back) missed practice again Thursday, but the Rams are optimistic about his status for Week 12. Analysis: Jackson also says he'll play against Seattle, but owners should grab Kenneth Darby as insurance. "Steven's a warrior," coach Steve Spagnuolo said. "He's not there yet and there's still a little bit of spasm there. We don't want to take any chances, so he hasn't practiced. It could go either way. But I guess I'm thinking positive because of who he is and the way he's been." | 1 hour |
| 70. | Vincent Jackson back to practice |
(Rotoworld) Vincent Jackson (ribs) returned to Chargers practice Thursday. Analysis: Jackson underwent X-rays after missing Wednesday's practice. His return to the practice field Thursday means he's been medically cleared to play against the Chiefs on Sunday. Permanent marker V-Jax into fantasy lineups. | 1 hour |
| 71. | Justin Gage |
(RotoWire) Though Gage (back) did not practice on Wednesday, coach Jeff Fisher said he was encouraged because Gage was able to do some running, the Tennessean reports. Analysis: More on Gage's status as the week continues, but it does appear as though he is making some progress since having suffered multiple broken bones in his back against the 49ers on Nov. 8. | 1 hour |
| 72. | Naufahu Tahi |
(RotoWire) Tahi (ankle) missed Thursday's practice and may have suffered a setback, the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports. Analysis: We'll see if he's able to practice on Friday. | 1 hour |
| 73. | Texans | Two practice in full Thursday |
(KFFL) Houston Texans WR Jacoby Jones (calf) and TE Joel Dreessen (shoulder) practiced in full Thursday, Nov. 26, and both will play Week 12. | 1 hour |
| 74. | Texans | Slaton limited Thursday, will play Week 12 |
(KFFL) Houston Texans RB Steve Slaton (neck) were limited in practice Thursday, Nov. 26, but he will play Week 12. | 1 hour |
| 75. | Texans | Two limited Thursday, will play Week 12 |
(KFFL) Houston Texans SS Dominique Barber (ankle) and LB Brian Cushing (foot) were limited in practice Thursday, Nov. 26, but both will play Week 12. | 1 hour |
| 76. | Antoine Winfield |
(RotoWire) Winfield (foot) was limited again in practice on Thursday, but says he'll play this week against Chicago. Analysis: Unless he has a setback on Friday, look for him to start against the Bears. | 1 hour |
| 77. | Texans | Two miss practice Thursday, will play Week 12 |
(KFFL) Houston Texans LB DeMeco Ryans (ankle) and DT Amobi Okoye (illness) missed the team's practice Thursday, Nov. 26, but both will play Week 12. | 1 hour |
| 78. | Texans | Two placed on IR |
(KFFL) Houston Texans FS Eugene Wilson (toe) and CB Antwaun Molden (quadriceps) have been placed on Injured Reserve, ending their 2009 seasons. | 1 hour |
| 79. | Jonathan Stewart |
(RotoWire) Stewart (Achilles) practiced fully Thursday, the Charlotte Observer reports. Analysis: Wednesday was a standard maintenance day for him and Stewart should be fine for Sunday's game against the Jets. | 1 hour |
| 80. | Bernard Berrian |
(RotoWire) Berrian (hamstring) was limited in practice again on Thursday, the team's official web site reports. Analysis: Berrian has been limited in practice with the injury the last few weeks but has been able to play, and there's not much reason to think that will change this week. | 1 hour |
| 81. | Adrian Peterson |
(RotoWire) Peterson (ankle) was limited in practice again on Thursday, the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports. Analysis: The media didn't have access to Minnesota's practice on Thanksgiving, so there isn't much information on his injury. Still, he played with the injury last week and it's probably not a concern this week against Chicago. | 1 hour |
| 82. | Parker limited |
(Rotoworld) Willie Parker (hip) was limited in Steelers practice Thursday. Analysis: Parker is a new addition to the injury report. He's fallen out of the Steelers' backfield rotation, however, and is barely a worthwhile handcuff for Rashard Mendenhall. Mewelde Moore is more involved on offense. | 1 hour |
| 83. | Kurt Warner practices fully again |
(Rotoworld) Kurt Warner (head) practiced in full again on Thursday. Analysis: According to Cardinals beat writer Darren Urban, "it certainly seems like Warner will be under center for a 43rd straight start." Warner has a favorable matchup at Tennessee and should be in fantasy lineups at this time. | 1 hour |
| 84. | Jason Witten |
(RotoWire) Witten (foot) just finished an on-field workout and by the look of things, he will play against Oakland Thursday, the Dallas Morning News reports. Analysis: Witten then proceeded to go through his full pre-game stretching routine with strength and conditioning coach Joe Juraszek, which the Morning News report suggests he wouldn't bother with if he was planning to sit. We'll check for confirmation of Witten's status, one way or the other, closer to kickoff. | 1 hour |
| 85. | Laveranues Coles |
(RotoWire) Coles (chest) did not practice on Thursday, the Cincinnati Enquirer reports. Analysis: We'll have to see what Coles does Friday, and how he is listed on the injury report, but if he is unable to go or limited Sunday against the Browns, Andre Caldwell would be in line for an expanded role. | 1 hour |
| 86. | Cedric Benson |
(RotoWire) Benson (hip) did not practice on Thursday, though he did do some work on the Bengals' side rehab field, the Cincinnati Enquirer reports. Analysis: The report states that "there remains a slight possibility that he might play on Sunday against the Browns," a far cry from the optimism expressed by coach Marvin Lewis Wednesday. Hopefully, Friday's practice -- and the official injury report -- will bring added clarity to the situation. Bernard Scott is in line for another start if Benson can't go this weekend. | 2 hours |
| 87. | Adrian Peterson limited again |
(Rotoworld) Adrian Peterson (ankle) was limited in practice again Thursday. Analysis: Peterson's injury isn't thought to be serious. He is a very strong bet to start Sunday's tilt with Chicago, but check back Friday for another update. | 2 hours |
| 88. | Jerious Norwood |
(RotoWire) Norwood (hip) fully participated in practice again on Thursday, the Atlanta Journal Constitution reports. "Jerious is definitely ahead of Mike," coach Mike Smith said referring to the fact that Norwood is currently doing more at practice than Michael Turner. Analysis: It looks like Norwood has a pretty good chance of returning to help out Jason Snelling (who filled in for Turner in Week 11) this week, while Turner has already been declared a game-time decision by Smith. | 2 hours |
| 89. | Roethlisberger practices fully |
(Rotoworld) Ben Roethlisberger (head) practiced fully again on Thursday. Analysis: Roethlisberger is no longer in any danger of sitting out on Sunday Night Football at Baltimore. Consider Big Ben a must-start in fantasy leagues. | 2 hours |
| 90. | Laveranues Coles misses practice |
(Rotoworld) Laveranues Coles (chest) missed Bengals practice again Thursday. Analysis: The team hasn't expressed concern that Coles might sit out Week 12, but back-to-back missed practices isn't a good sign. If he's not able to play Sunday, usual slot receiver Andre Caldwell would be a usable WR3. | 2 hours |
| 91. | Gijon Robinson |
(RotoWire) Robinson (concussion) returned to practice on Thursday, but was a limited participant. Analysis: It's a good sign to see him return to practice, but he may be held out again this week as a precaution. | 2 hours |
| 92. | Report: Benson has a 'slight' chance to ... |
(Rotoworld) According to Bengals beat writer Joe Reedy, Cedric Benson still has a "slight" chance to play in Week 12 against Cleveland. Analysis: Benson missed his second straight practice Thursday, increasing Bernard Scott's chances of drawing the start against Cleveland's No. 29 rush defense. We're now leaning towards predicting Benson will be inactive Sunday, but he's officially a game-time decision. Check back Friday for another update. | 2 hours |
