NFL News and Rumors: Week 15

gmrcharity · 12-12-2007, 11:40 AM

Jaguars placed DT Marcus Stroud on injured reserve with a "significant" right ankle sprain, ending his season.

Justin Fargas’ (ribs) status is uncertain for Week 15 against the Colts.

We’ll find out more when the Raiders practice, but it's possible Fargas could be active and limited in Sunday’s game. Fargas is confident he’ll play and is a tough competitor, but appears to be a risky RB2 at the moment.

The Denver Post’s Bill Williamson expects Selvin Young to dominate the carries in the Broncos’ backfield over the final three games.

Marc Bulger (concussion) took all the snaps at practice Wednesday and is "on track to return" this week, according to the Associated Press

gmrcharity · 12-13-2007, 02:55 PM

Roy Williams, WR DET

Detroit WR Roy Williams (knee) may not be sidelined for the rest of the season after all. Williams, according to the Detroit Free Press, hopes to play against Kansas City in in Week 16, but returning for the regular season finale in Green Bay would be more realistic. Williams will not play in Week 15 at San Diego.

The Ram · 12-13-2007, 03:27 PM

Bears coach Lovie Smith says "hopefully" Garrett Wolfe will be a bigger part of the team's game plan going forward.

"Garrett did give us a little bit of a spark there at the end," Smith said of Wolfe's performance last Thursday night. Wolfe basically replaced Adrian Peterson in the lineup for much of the game. They figure to share work close to equally against the Vikings' top ranked run defense this week.

Not unexpected but not good to hear either if you're starting Adrian Peterson 1.0 this week.

The Ram · 12-13-2007, 03:28 PM

Coach Mike Tomlin indicated early in the week that he only expected Big Ben to be limited "some" in Wednesday's workout, so a second straight missed practice is cause for concern. Roethlisberger's injury isn't believed to be serious, but keep an eye on his Friday status before using him in Week 15.

Source: Pittsburgh Post-Gazette

Doubtful he doesn't play this weekend but something to keep your eye on.

The Ram · 12-13-2007, 03:30 PM

The inconsistent wideout took advantage of a Giants secondary that was down both its starting safeties in Week 14 and caught seven balls. He is likely to play vs. the Cowboys, whose secondary is currently at full strength.

Could be a decent play against big D.

The Ram · 12-13-2007, 03:32 PM

An upgrade. "Unless anything happens, I should be out there Sunday," he told the Arizona Republic. Boldin initially wasn't present for practice, but did wind up running routes. He's still not a lock for Sunday, but in a favorable matchup at New Orleans, would be near impossible to sit if he's playing.

Source: azcardinals.com

Yeah, you have to play him if he's in the game.

The Ram · 12-13-2007, 04:45 PM

Chatman vows to face Baltimore in Week 15, but in a difficult matchup and potentially a running back by committee, he'd be a poor flex play.

Chris Redman will likely finish out the season starting. The Falcons may release both Harrington and Leftwich in the offseason if Redman plays well.

The Ram · 12-13-2007, 04:48 PM

Fargas seems likely to see a full workload despite concerns he wouldn't. The Raiders don't have much to gain by using LaMont Jordan more than usual. Fargas will likely be listed as "probable" on Friday's injury report.

Source: San Francisco Chronicle

Looks like he made it for a full practice. Still not an incredible play but has been fairly good this season.

Thank God! He is the worst play by play man in the history of the world, and I don't think I'm exaggerating.
