AFC Injury Report - 9/28/07

After two full days of practice, we still don't know the exact statuses for the players that are injured, but we do know who has and who hasn't been practicing. Here's the breakdown from the AFC, for fantasy purposes, of players that might be affected by injury this weekend. Oh yeah, but first let's take time to point out that the Denver Broncos are still one of the few team that seemingly doesn't want to make it easy for fans to find injury reports on their website. The St. Louis Rams have added one but you have to open it in .PDF, which is just absurd.

Baltimore Ravens
  • Steve McNair (groin) - Full practice both days. Still supposedly could split time with Kyle Boller, which is a nighthorse.
  • Derrick Mason (back) - Full practice both days. He's been quietly resurgent this year and needs to be starting against the Browns.
  • Trevor Pryce and Samari Rolle are both out.
  • Mark Clayton (calf) has been limited both days as has Demetrius Williams (heel). Yamon Figurs or Devard Darling could backdoor some value if both Clayton and Williams are out in deeper leagues.


Buffalo Bills
  • J.P. Losman (knee) - Didn't practice. Expect Trent Edwards to start.
Cincinnati Bengals
  • Rudi Johnson (hamstring) - Listed as OUT this Monday. Kenny Watson will get the start. Wow.
  • T.J. Houshmandzadeh (knee) - Didn't practice Thursday. He should be good to go as they did this last week and you saw how he did.
Cleveland Browns
  • Kellen Winslow (shoulder) - Didn't practice either day. Stay tuned; if he goes you want to start him against a banged up Ravens D.
Houston Texans
  • Ahman Green (knee) - No practice either day. Looking more and more like he won't go, so be thinking Ron Dayne for a big day against the Falcons.
Kansas City Chiefs
  • No significant injuries
Indianapolis Colts
  • No significant injuries
New England Patriots
  • Tom Brady (shoulder) - Limited practice. I think we know it's not really affecting him at this point.
New York Jets
  • Chad Pennington (ankle) - Limited on Thursday but he should be probable.
  • Jerricho Cotchery (shoulder) - Limited on Thursday but expect him to be questionable.
Pittsburgh Steelers
  • Hines Ward (knee) - He hasn't practiced so far and he's doubtful, so start looking towards Nate Washington as a sleeper; should be a big game for Santonio Holmes.
San Diego Chargers
  • Vincent Jackson (back) - Limited practice Thursday. Vinnie J should be good to go barring any last second bad news.
