The Walking Wounded: (updated/revised)
Tony Romo will wear a splint on his right pinkie. He
may have some accuracy issues but is a start against
a 49ers secondary that has yielded 6.7 ypa & 15 TD's
on the season.
Matt Schaub had a setback in his rehab and is likely
to miss another 4 weeks, if not, the remainder of the
season. Sage Rosenfels is a solid play vs. the Browns
if the weather cooperates.
Matt Hasselbeck practiced fully & will start against
Arizona. He is a reasonable play as the Cards have
allowed a league high 19 passing TD's.
Brady Quinn has a small fracture on the ring finger
of his throwing hand. He is expected to start but is a
risky play even though he has faces a porous Texans
secondary. Grab Derek Anderson if he's available.
Steve Slaton has been limited with a bruised chest.
He is expected to play vs. the Browns.
Brandon Jacobs is listed as probable but is likely
to have his number of carries reduced to minimize
the hits on his sore knee. Derrick Ward will get a
fair share of the touches but is only a fair play vs.
Arizona which has yielded 3.8 ypc & just 7 rushing
TD's. This is a tough situation due to the uncertainty
surrounding the distribution of totes but Jacobs is
too productive to sit if he is indeed active and starting.
Brian Westbrook has knee and ankle ailments that
have limited his practice routines. He's going to be a
game time decision against a Ravens rush defense
that was embarrassed by the Giants. Buckhalter
is likely to receive the bulk of the carries. Avoid this
situation.
Steven Jackson is out. Antonio Pittman gets the
start vs. the Bears but is a poor play.
Earnest Graham is out for the year with an injured
ankle. Warrick Dunn will get the call & is a solid play
vs. a run defense that has yielded 5.1 ypc & 17 TD's.
Cadillac Williams strained a hamstring in practice
and is not likely to play vs. Lions.
LenDale White was limited with a calf injury. He has
a tough opponent in the Jets. He's listed as probable.
Kevin Smith took it easy in practice while nursing a
sore groin. He's a tepid play vs. a solid Bucs run D.
Clinton Portis continues to miss practice. He's likely
to play vs. the Seahawks but is listed as questionable
and will be a dreaded game time decision.
Willis McGahee tweaked an ankle but it is not thought
to be serious. Ray Rice would get the start if McGahee
is out or limited. Neither back is a great play against the
Eagles stout run defense.
Selvin Young will be inactive for the Raiders. Peyton
Hillis will get the start but look for Tatum Bell to get
additional touches. Both backs have merit vs. Oakland
which has allowed 4.8 ypc and 15 rushing TD's. Hillis is
the preferred play due to goal line touches.
Darren McFadden may get an increased workload vs.
the Broncos. He played sparingly vs. the Dolphins but
reported no adverse affect on his turf toes. McFadden,
who practiced, and Justin Fargas are solid plays vs. a
run defense that yields 4.9 ypc.
Reggie Bush is improving and feels that he'll be ready
to face an awful Packers run defense on Monday night.
Bush missed practice on Friday and would need to work
with the team today to be in position to play. Check back
on Sunday for additional information. Pierre Thomas
is a great add, as insurance, if available, as Green Bay
yields 4.9 ypc.
Deuce McAllister had to have a knee drained and may
be limited vs. the Packers. He's probable.
Felix Jones is out for the season which bodes well for
Marion Barber owners.
Calvin Johnson returned to practice and is expected
to play vs. the Bucs.
Roddy White practiced and is questionable to play vs.
the Panthers as he deals with a bruised back.
Marques Colston was limited in practice by a balky
knee but is probable for the Packers. He has a tough
matchup as Green Bay has a great pass defense.
Plaxico Burress strained a hamstring in practice and
is questionable for the Cards on Sunday.
Matt Jones practiced fully and should start against the
Vikings. He's a serviceable #3.
Derrick Mason is still suffering from a shoulder injury.
Look elsewhere for a #3 as Mason has a tough start vs.
a solid Eagles secondary.
Tony Gonzalez practiced fully and is expected to play
against the Bills.
Jason Witten is still limited with sore ribs but is likely
to start vs. the 49ers.
Kellen Winslow had an MRI on his shoulder and is iffy
for the Texans tilt on Sunday. He has a shoulder sprain.
Patriots NT Vince Wilfork missed practice with a toe
injury. His absence would afford Ronnie Brown & Ricky
Williams major upgrades.
Colts SS Bob Sanders is questionable for the Chargers.
LaDainian Tomlinson is likely to have a monster game
if Sanders sits.
Shutdown CB Champ Bailey has returned to practice. He
will shutdown WR1's but the Raiders have no such threat.
Ronald Curry is playable even if Bailey starts, as they
will line him up against Dre Bly. Curry gets an upgrade if
Champ is inactive.
Orlando Pace will miss several weeks, at the minimum,
with an MCL injury. It's best to avoid all Rams, if possible
as they have an angry Bears defense coming for a visit.
All Done!
