Update: 10/3: Brown was on the practice field Wednesday, although he did not seem to be working very much with the first team.

Update: 10/3: Boldin's hip prevented him from practicing on Wednesday. A Monday exam revealed no damage to the bone, but coach Ken Whisenhunt said that he isn't sure if he partially tore or strained a muscle around the hip. Bryant Johnson will start if Boldin cannot play.

Update: 10/4: Heap and Wilcox both missed practice Wednesday and Thursday. Wilcox "guarantees" he will play, but Heap is still a question mark.

Update: 10/4: Rolle was out Thursday morning running around and making cuts. He reportedly looked good, but was not wearing his shells and was carrying his helmet in his hand.

Update: 10/3: The early word on Youboty is that he likely will not be available Monday night. As mentioned, Jabari Greer will start if that is the case.

Update: 10/3: Youboty watched practice on Wednesday.

Update: 10/5: On Friday, the Bills ruled Youboty out for Monday night's game.

Update: 10/3: Is it expected that Leonhard's calf injury will cost him at least this week's Monday Night game.

Update: 10/5: Harrison has been placed on IR.

Update: 10/3: Ellison is reportedly practicing on Wednesday.

Update: 10/4: Ellison appears likely to play Monday night, but is not slated to start. He will probably end up splitting time with Mario Haggan.

Update: 10/6: Goings has been listed as OUT for Sunday.

Update: 10/7: The Panthers activated Haynes on Saturday, hinting that the team may think Goings will miss more than just one week due to the concussion he suffered in week 4.

From Week 3 : We're SHOCKED that Dan Morgan is hurt.An ankle injury sidelined the Crystalline Linebacker on Sunday.

Update: 10/1: Morgan's injury is a partially torn Achilles' tendon. He doesn't think it will be a long-term injury (he called the tear "small"), but did indicate that he will not play Sunday against the New Orleans Saints.

Update: 10/2: The NFL Network's Adam Schefter insists that Delhomme's injury may be a much longer-term recovery than the Panthers are willing to admit at the moment. He indicates that surgery may be necessary, as well. While the Panthers are calling Delhomme day-to-day, Schefer notes that he's more like week-to-week or even month-to-month.

Update: 10/2: Delhomme has acknowledged that surgery is a possible necessity to repair his damaged elbow, but he is hopeful that an aggressive rehabilitation program will be sufficient.

Update: 10/5: Tait missed practice this week, including Friday, and will most likely not play on Sunday.

Update: 10/5: The Browns have listed Winslow as probable to play this week.

Update: 10/5: Zastudil has been listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the New England Patriots. He practiced fully during the course of the week.

Update: 10/2: Henry will miss the team's upcoming game against the Buffalo Bills with a high ankle sprain, and seems likely to miss a second week. There is a chance that Henry will end up sitting out up to four games.

Update: 10/3: Henry had an MRI that came back negative, which is great news for him. His knee and ankle are sore and he was held out of practice Wednesday, but at this point it appears that there is a good chance Henry will be able to play on Sunday.

Update: 10/5: Henry sat out practice again Thursday, and news broke of a failed drug test which came back positive for marijuana. If Henry plays this week, it just might be his last game for a while.

Update: 10/5b: For what it's worth, Henry insists that he is playing this week. Coach Shanahan agrees, noting that he will play if he is fully recovered from his knee and ankle injuries.

Update: 10/5: Bell fully participated in practice Thursday.

Update: 10/2: Walker assures everyone that his knee injury is not long-term, but admits that he isn't sure whether or not he will be able to practice or play this week against the San Diego Chargers. He does not think he will be able to practice until the fluid in his knee is reduced.

Update: 10/3: As expected, Walker did not practice on Wednesday.

Update: 10/5: Walker did not practice on Thursday.

Update: 10/7: Sure enough, Lynch appears slated to start Sunday.

Update: 10/4: It appears that Jackson will not be available for Sunday's game against the Bears.

Update: 10/4: Kalu reportedly practiced on Wednesday, indicating that the training staff may feel comfortable enough with his progress to let him try to play again. Then again, it may also just mean that Wednesday's practice are light enough that they weren't worried about him.

Update: 10/6: Green increased his workload on Friday, prompting head coach Gary Kubiak to say that his performance was very encouraging. Green is a gametime decision, but appears ready to play. Watch the inactive lists on Sunday.

Update: 10/6: As expected, Jones does not appear ready to play on Sunday.

Update: 10/4: Johnson appears slated to sit out week 5 due to his sprained knee.

Update: 10/5: Head coach Tony Dungy said Friday that a many of a group of starters listed as questionable are "unlikely" to play. That list includes Marvin Harrison, who is dealing with his left knee injury. Harrison is one who probably will end up sitting, but watch the inactive lists, just in case.

Update: 10/5: Addai has been listed as questionable on the Colts' injury report, and there is apparently a decent chance he will not play. Contrary to some other reports surfacing, Addai has not been ruled out of Sunday's game. However, head coach Tony Dungy indicated that there is a decent likelihood that Addai will sit out Sunday against the Titans. He is dealing with a chest soreness that originated from his shoulder and did not practice on Friday. The injury is similar to the one he had during the playoffs last year. Dungy said that he played then because it was "do or die," and not week 5. The safe choice would be to bench Addai, as he is supposedly not expected to play - but do keep an eye on the inactive lists and pregame reports. This could very easily be a nice bit of gamesmanship by Dungy and company.

Update: 10/5: Sanders is listed as questionable on the Colts' injury report with bruised ribs, and was part of a group of starters that coach Tony Dungy addressed by saying "I would say it's unlikely many of them will play." Sanders certainly has not been ruled out, but it would be best to keep an eye on the inactive lists Sunday to be sure.

Update: 10/3: Head coach Brad Childress says that he thinks Jackson will play on Sunday against the Bears in week 6.

Update: 10/6: Fujita is being termed a gametime decision by coach Sean Payton. He initially sprained his ankle on September 24th, and has not been able to practice until Friday. Payton said that Fujita felt "a little better, but it is what it is."

Update: 10/5: Burress has sat out of practices this week, as expected, but says that he will play on Sunday.

Update: 10/3: Jordan was off the practice field with a member of the training staff on Wednesday. He looked much better than he did on Sunday as he worked on stepping over hurdles.

Update: 10/3: Burgess was on the field with his teammates Wednesday, but it's not known how much he participated in practice.

From Week 3: McCown sat out Sunday after yet another injury finally managed to land him on the inactive list. Daunte Culpepper started against the Dolphins, and played well enough to threaten McCown's job. The QB drama in Oakland continues after the team's week 5 bye. On Monday, McCown was still wearing a walking boot.

Update: 10/3: McCown was still in the boot on Wednesday.

Update: 10/2: Head coach Andy Reid denied Tuesday that Westbrook's injury is worse than the team has revealed, which is being assumed as meaning the sideline report Sunday that maintained the injury is a tear in the muscle near the rib was incorrect because the team has called the injury an abdominal strain. However, when asked about time frame, Reid said only that he hopes it is not going to be a long-term problem.

Update: 10/3: McFadden may miss as much as a month with his high ankle sprain.

Update: 10/3: A source reportedly told ESPN's Ed Werder that an MRI on Smith's injured shoulder showed serious damage to the ligaments that would likely force the quarterback to undergo immediate surgery to repair the damage. Smith is seeking a second opinion from renowned orthopedic surgeon Dr. James Andrews before making the decision to go under the knife, which would likely cost him the remainder of the season.

Update: 10/3: The 49ers are disputing the aforementioned ESPN report. They say that Smith's lab results have been sent to Dr. Andrews, but that Smith is not scheduled to meet with him personally. Also, the team claims that there is no plan for Smith to undergo surgery. He reportedly tore two ligaments in his throwing shoulder, but has no other damage to the muscles or collarbone. It is still unclear, however, how long he will be out.

Update: 10/3b: Dr. Andrews has confirmed that Smith has a Grade 3 separation and does not need surgery. Expect him to miss at least 3-4 weeks, and possibly a little longer - but he will play again this season.

Update: 10/5: Smith had some good news this week, although it still seems unlikely that he will play in the next 3 weeks. However, with the good news on the nature and extent of his injury, Smith shed his sling on Friday and was tossing the ball to himself underhanded. No, he's not launching 60-yard bombs, but it's still a good sign.

Update: 10/3: As of Wednesday, safety Corey Chavous is expected to miss Sunday's game with a pectoral injury. Jerome Carter and Todd Johnson worked at strong safety Wednesday.

Update: 10/2: Redskins' team trainer Bubba Tyer said Tuesday that Gibbs was incorrect when he said that Portis was dealing with tendinitis again. Tyer indicated that Portis has a bruised knee and a minor (Grade 1) sprain, and that neither issue is expected to prevent him from playing on Sunday. He is day-to-day for practice, but should be available on game day.

Update: 10/3: Portis said Tuesday afternoon that he hurt both his knee and ankle in the first half of last Sunday's game against the Giants. While he will likely be limited all week in practice, the initial feeling is that he will be on the field on Sunday.

Update: 10/2: Team trainer Bubba Tyer said Tuesday that McIntosh is scheduled to practice as normal.

Update: 10/2: Smoot's hamstring is expected to limit him in practice, but should not prevent him from playing on Sunday after missing the last two games.

From Week 3: [Redskins were on a bye in week 4. The following is week 3's IW report:] Santana Moss strained his groin Sunday. Fortunately, he will have an extra week to heal as the Redskins head into their bye week.

Update: 10/1: On Monday, Moss said that he is not sure his groin will be healed in time for Sunday's game. On Monday, the Redskins signed free agent receiver Keenan McCardell.

Update: 10/2: Bubba Tyer said Tuesday that Moss has not yet run since hurting his groin, and that Moss is the least likely to play Sunday of all the Redskins' injuries.

Update: 10/3: Moss tried to do some jogging during Wednesday's practice, but didn't last very long before he had to stop and ice down his injured groin. Shortly afterwards he made his way to the training room. He looks like a long shot to be able to play in week 5, and may even be hurt badly enough to place week 6 in jeopardy.

Update: 10/5: Moss missed praactice again Friday and is doubtful to play this week.

Update: 10/2: Daniels is expected to practice as normal, according to team trainer Bubba Tyer.
