Willis Mcgahee RB BAL

Baltimore Ravens running back Willis McGahee is on track to start Sunday versus the Cincinnati Bengals, reports the Baltimore Sun and Rotoworld

Marvin Harrison WR IND Anthony Gonzalez WR IND Dallas Clark TE IND

Wide receiver Marvin Harrison was limited in yesterday's practice and may sit out Week 10, according to KFFL.

Wide receiver Anthony Gonzalez, Harrison's backup, dislocated his thumb and is likely sidelined 2-3 weeks, also according to KFFL.

Tight end Dallas Clark suffered a concussion and his status is up in the air as well.

Coachnorm

Bush was cleared to practice last week and the Raiders have a 3 week exemption on which to practice him. Last week he was practicing with the scout squad. It hard to say what the Raiders will do but so far they don't show any sign of using Jamarcus this year. He might get some limited game time in the last few weeks. Bush hasn't had any camp or preseason time so he is probably no where near game shape at all. Clinton Portis missed most of camp and preseason and said that he didn't feel like he was in game shape until week 6.

This is probably a job for VAR8RFAN our Raider expert.

According to our Chiefs medical staff and its most recent evaluation of Larry Johnson last evening (Wednesday, November 7), Larry has made significant improvement with less swelling and pain in his injured right foot. His status will be re-evaluated again early next week with further exams and tests. His status for this week is doubtful to out.

You pretty much said it all Coach.

About the only thing I can add is that he is getting a healthy amount of carries with scout team and he is being pushed pretty hard. It's been hard to gauge what the Raiders are going to do this season (Fargas starting, Rhodes only returning kicks). I have a feeling he will be activated, Dwight will be returning kicks, and Rhodes may get his walking papers.

Andre Johnson will play in week 11 against NO...

You can't hold down the UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

Texans welcome back Johnson, look for Robinson's replacement

Bull

Thanks. With the way Fargus is running, I can't wait to see what Bush will do there.

The U is over rated.

Shaun Alexander RB SEA

ESPN's John Clayton is reporting that Shaun Alexamder "might" not play this weekend because of his ankle and knee issues that have had him miss the last two days of practice.

Vinny Testaverde QB CAR

Things are getting totally out of hand for the Panthers as they might be forced to go with their 4th QB of the season in Week 10 after Vinny Testaverde sat out practice on Friday. Vinny is now listed as questionable to play because of his sore Achilles. Wow its tough being a Steve Smith holder right now.

Travis Henry RB DEN

Denver Broncos running back Travis Henry may be sidelined for the team's Week 10 tilt with the Kansas City Chiefs, reports the Denver Post and Rotoworld.Henry didn't practice on Wednesday or Thursday, which means he will most likely be a game time decision

He mine as well be suspended for as much as he's playing.

Drew Olson was elevated to the Panthers 53-man roster today indicating that QB Vinny Testeverde will be inactive for Sunday's game. You might think about sitting Steve Smith for this one...

OG Seth McKinney was placed on the IR today, leaving a gaping hole in a surprisingly effective Cleveland Browns offensive line. It will be interesting to see how this effects their offense the rest of the way.

San Diego CB Quentin Jammer will miss this weeks matchup against IND. Brilliant kick returner Antonio Cromartie will start in his place.

When asked about the prospects of WR Deion Branch playing in this weeks game, Holmgren stated, "Branch, as an example, his game is quickness and speed and he's got to be able to do that, otherwise I'd be doing him a disservice and the team [to play him]," Holmgren said. Given Seattle's depth at WR, it is unlikely that Branch will see significant playing time if he plays at all.

RB Frank Gore practiced on a limited basis on Friday but stated he would be active for Monday's game against Seattle.

It appears that QB Quinn Gray will start this weeks game against Tennessee after QB David Garrard missed Friday's practice. Despite being listed as questionable, Garrard is not expected to play.

TE Dallas Clark was able to practice on Friday and is likely to start in Sunday's game against San Diego.

K Jason Elam is dealing with a calf injury and is very questionable for this weeks game against Kansas City. If he doesn't start, P Todd Sauerbraun will handle all kicking duties. This is bad news for Denver who won all three games this season and their home game against Kansas City last season off of Jason Elam game-winning field goals.

WR Javon Walker expects to be questionable for the Broncos Week 11 game against Tennessee. Kudos to fantasy owners who kept Walker stashed on their bench despite his tenuous health.

DT Albert Haynesworth missed his third straight practice Friday after sustaining a hamstring injury in the fourth quarter of last weeks game against Carolina. He remains questionable on the injury report and will likely be a game-time decision. Fisher doesn't sound optimistic that he'll play.

WR Marvin Harrison will be a game-time decision after being limited in practice all week. Indianapolis plays on Sunday Night, so unless you have options in the Seattle/San Francisco matchup or own Chris Chambers, you should stay away from Harrison. Even if Harrison does play, there's no indication of the number of snaps he would take.

WR Santana Moss and WR Antwaan Randle El were both limited in practice this week with hamstring injuries. Randle El is expect to take limited reps against Philadelphia. Santana Moss is not expected to play. Keenan McCardell and Brandon Lloyd are the next two WR's on the depth chart.

Colts WR Anthony Gonzalez has a severe thumb injury and will miss 3-4 weeks. If Marvin Harrison doesn't play WR Aaron Moorehead would start alongside Reggie Wayne.

NBC's Peter King reports Larry Johnson (foot) will miss Week 11 as well.

Mike

As reported on Fox Sports, Larry Johnson has a crack in his injured foot. The Chiefs tried to play this down during the week. The team hopeful that he can return at some point this season.

Keyword here is "hopeful", not "optimistic".

The Chicago Tribune is reporting that Grossman's snaps during practice this week has increased, indicating that the team could be looking to make the move back to him if Griese continues to struggle.

Does it really matter who they play at quarterback? This entire offense is undisciplined and basically horrible.
