10.	Carson Palmer OAK at KC Note: Still throwing the ball a ton, and even vultured away a rushing touchdown last week.
11.	*Jay Cutler CHI vs. Car Note: Suffered a rib injury Monday night, but expects to be able to play Sunday. Don't be surprised if he's limited in practice early in the week.
12.	Matthew Stafford DET vs. Sea
13.	Cam Newton CAR at Chi
14.	Michael Vick PHI vs. Atl Note: Moving down because of the weather. *
15.	Matt Ryan ATL at Phi Note: Moving down because of the weather. *
16.	*Matt Hasselbeck TEN vs. Ind Note: Expected to get another start this week in place of Locker.
17.	Christian Ponder MIN vs. TB Note: (Knee) Listed as probable for Thursday night.*
18.	Josh Freeman TB at Min Note: A great game last week could have been so much better, with Vincent Jackson tracked down after a 95-yard play, and with Mike Williams pushed out of the end zone on the final play.
19.	Philip Rivers SD at Cle Note: Moving down because of the weather. *
20.	Sam Bradford STL vs. NE
21.	Brandon Weeden CLE vs. SD
22.	*Alex Smith SF at Ari Note: Sprained finger from a couple of weeks ago still might be an issue.
23.	Mark Sanchez NYJ vs. Mia Note: Apparently minor thumb injury on his left hand. Practiced fully all week despite the left thumb and lower back injuries. *
24.	Russell Wilson SEA at Det
25.	Ryan Tannehill MIA at NYJ

27.	John Skelton ARZ vs. SF Note: (Ankle) Full participant in practice this week, good to go against the Niners on Monday night. *
28.	*Brady Quinn KC vs. Oak Note: Starting over Matt Cassel, and not just due to the concussion.
29.	Chad Henne JAC at GB Note: Averaged 3.6 yards per attempt over the course of 20 attempts against the Raiders. Blaine Gabbert was able to practice Wednesday - it appears that he'll play and not Henne.*
30.	Jake Locker TEN vs. Ind Note: Titans are taking a 'step-by-step' approach in dealing with Locker's shoulder. Officially out this week.*
31.	*Matt Cassel KC vs. Oak Note: Benched in favor of Brady Quinn, and not just because of his concussion in Week 5.

Running Backs

1.	LeSean McCoy PHI vs. Atl
2.	Adrian Peterson MIN vs. TB Note: (Ankle) Missed practice Tuesday, has the Thursday night game. Listed as probable.*
3.	Matt Forte CHI vs. Car
4.	Alfred Morris WAS at Pit
5.	Chris Johnson TEN vs. Ind Note: Listed with an ankle injury, but fully participated in Wednesday's practice. Officially listed as probable. *
6.	Jamaal Charles KC vs. Oak Note: (Back) Not on the initial injury report.*
7.	Michael Turner ATL at Phi
8.	Willis McGahee DEN vs. NO
9.	Doug Martin TB at Min Note: Didn't get a goal line carry in the awful sequence after the Vincent Jackson catch, but later got a carry inside the 5 - had no chance, though, as the OL was blown up on the play.
10.	Ryan Mathews SD at Cle
11.	Reggie Bush MIA at NYJ
12.	Marshawn Lynch SEA at Det Note: (Back) Would have participated in a full practice Wednesday if the Seahawks would have had more than a walk-through.*
13.	Darren McFadden OAK at KC
14.	Frank Gore SF at Ari Note: Dealt with severe pain in his ribcage in the Thursday night game, but was a full practice participant Monday. Listed as probable for Monday night. *
15.	Stevan Ridley NE at StL Note: Only 32 snaps against the Jets, but 17 carries on those snaps.
16.	Steven Jackson STL vs. NE Note: Jackson got his first rushing touchdown of the season last week against the Packers.
17.	Darren Sproles NO at Den Note: Missed practiced Wednesday due to an illness in the family.*
18.	Mikel Leshoure DET vs. Sea
19.	Alex Green GB vs. Jac
20.	Jonathan Dwyer PIT vs. Was Note: Had 122 yards as the primary back last week, but didn't get in the end zone. Sat out practice to attend to a personal issue, scheduled to return Thursday.
21.	*Rashad Jennings JAC at GB Note: Starting with MJD out.
22.	Felix Jones DAL vs. NYG Note: Bruised his knee against the Panthers but returned to the game. Could get a second start with Murray still recovering from his foot injury. (Knee) Did not practice Wednesday. Limited practice Thursday and Friday, listed as questionable but is expected to play. *
23.	Shonn Greene NYJ vs. Mia Note: Left briefly with a head injury last week, though he later returned. Not on Wednesday's injury report.*
24.	Ahmad Bradshaw NYG at Dal Note: (Foot) Didn't practice Wednesday. Look for this to be a recurring theme. Practiced in a limited fashion Friday, should play, but don't be surprised if he's limited. *
25.	LaRod Stephens-Howling ARZ vs. SF Note: LSH had 20 carries to just four for Powell against the Vikes.
26.	Jonathan Stewart CAR at Chi Note: Panthers are switching to a philosophy that keeps one back out on the field for an entire series, rather than shifting them play-by-play. This change helped Stewart more last week. **
27.	Vick Ballard IND at Ten Note: Good news - involved in the passing game. Bad news - Mewelde Moore got red zone carries, and Andrew Luck had two rushing touchdowns. More bad news - with Donald Brown fully practicing Friday, it's not a sure thing that Ballard starts. Awaiting the game-time decision on Brown. *
28.	Montario Hardesty CLE vs. SD Note: Could end up starting if Richards is ineffective again. Limited at Wednesday's practice with a knee injury. Listed as probable. *
29.	Andre Brown NYG at Dal
30.	Phillip Tanner DAL vs. NYG Note: Had 13 carries last week backing up Felix Jones. Similar workload seems likely this week. *
31.	Daryl Richardson STL vs. NE
32.	Kendall Hunter SF at Ari
33.	Michael Bush CHI vs. Car
34.	Pierre Thomas NO at Den
35.	Trent Richardson CLE vs. SD Note: Tried to play through his rib injury last week but was ineffective and then benched. Coach Pat Shurmur said that he might limit Richardson in practice this week and maybe even sit him out this week. Vowed that he won't sit until the bye week. Practiced Wednesday. Expects to play Sunday, though it wouldn't be a surprise if he was limited in his touches. *
36.	Jamie Harper TEN vs. Ind Note: Clear goal line vulture.
37.	LeGarrette Blount TB at Min Note: Stuffed three consecutive times at the goal line last week.
38.	Ronnie Hillman DEN vs. NO
39.	Delone Carter IND at Ten Note: Carter had 11 carries as the lead backup behind Vick Ballard.
40.	Danny Woodhead NE at StL
41.	William Powell ARZ vs. SF Note: Huge disappointment last week, with just four carries.
42.	Jacquizz Rodgers ATL at Phi
43.	Joique Bell DET vs. Sea Note: Had a killer fumble at the goal line Monday night.
44.	Mike Goodson OAK at KC Note: Had just one carry last week, with the Raiders trailing most of the game.
45.	Robert Turbin SEA at Det
46.	Peyton Hillis KC vs. Oak Note: (Ankle) Returned to practice Monday. Limited practice Wednesday. Listed as probable. *
47.	Toby Gerhart MIN vs. TB
48.	DeAngelo Williams CAR at Chi Note: Just two carries against the Cowboys - we can't even use him as a bye week fill-in right now. Please Carolina, trade him.
49.	*Shane Vereen NE at StL Note: Started last week, but had just 17 snaps.
50.	*Mewelde Moore IND at Ten Note: Two carries inside the 10-yard line last week.
51.	Daniel Thomas MIA at NYJ Note: (Concussion) Full go in Monday's practice. Full-speed practice again Wednesday. Will wear a special helmet to minimize the risk of concussion. My question is this - why wouldn't every player wear that type of helmet every week, if it's effective in preventing concussions? *
52.	Baron Batch PIT vs. Was
53.	Mark Ingram NO at Den Note: Just 21 yards on his seven carries, and it was Pierre Thomas and not Ingram that got the goal line carry.
54.	Donald Brown IND at Ten Note: (Knee) Likely to miss at least one more game. Limited practice Wednesday at least opens the door of the possibility of playing. Full practice Friday, now listed as questionable. *
55.	Joe McKnight NYJ vs. Mia Note: Played last week against the Pats despite dealing with a high ankle sprain. He was spotted on crutches after the game. Did not practice Wednesday. Listed as questionable, though he said he'd play. *
56.	Isaac Redman PIT vs. Was Note: Both Redman (ankle) and Mendenhall have a chance to play this week, though practice will help dictate his availability. Did not practice Wednesday. Listed as questionable. *
57.	Jackie Battle SD at Cle
58.	*Shaun Draughn KC vs. Oak Note: Role could shrink again with Hillis returning to practice.
59.	Mike Tolbert CAR at Chi
60.	David Wilson NYG at Dal Note: Shut out with Andre Brown back.
61.	Bryce Brown PHI vs. Atl
62.	Lance Dunbar DAL vs. NYG
63.	Chris Rainey PIT vs. Was Note: Scored the Steelers' rushing touchdown, but only four carries.
64.	Evan Royster WAS at Pit
65.	*Brandon Jacobs SF at Ari Note: Active for the first time last week, but didn't get a single carry.
66.	James Starks GB vs. Jac Note: Nary a touch against the Rams.
67.	Brandon Jackson CLE vs. SD
68.	Lamar Miller MIA at NYJ
69.	Ronnie Brown SD at Cle
70.	Taiwan Jones OAK at KC Note: (Knee) Listed as questionable. *
71.	Montell Owens JAC at GB Note: The backup behind Jennings, but dealing with a shoulder injury. Did not practice all week, listed as doubtful. *
72.	Brandon Bolden NE at StL Note: Did not practice Wednesday. Ruled out again this week. *
73.	Rashard Mendenhall PIT vs. Was Note: Both Redman and Mendenhall (Achilles') have a chance to play this week, though practice will help dictate his availability. Did not practice Wednesday. Ruled out again this week. *
74.	DeMarco Murray DAL vs. NYG Note: (Foot) Varying reports on his chances of playing this week, but the preponderance of the evidence is negative. 'Almost certainly' will miss this week. Officially out. *
75.	Bilal Powell NYJ vs. Mia Note: (Shoulder) Did not practice Wednesday. Listed as doubtful. *
76.	*Maurice Jones-Drew JAC at GB Note: Sprained foot, out multiple weeks, but so far doesn't need surgery.

Wide Receivers

1.	Victor Cruz NYG at Dal
2.	Reggie Wayne IND at Ten

11.	Hakeem Nicks NYG at Dal Note: (Knee) Full practice two days in a row this week for the first time this season.*
12.	Miles Austin DAL vs. NYG
13.	James Jones GB vs. Jac Note: According to the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel, Jones doesn't have a drop all season. Much bigger role if Nelson can't play, too.
14.	Vincent Jackson TB at Min Note: Sore calf - was that why he was able to get chased down on that 95-yard play? Sort of unfair that he gets blamed for the subsequent goal line failure. Listed as probable.*
15.	Roddy White ATL at Phi Note: Moving down due to the weather. *
16.	Larry Fitzgerald ARZ vs. SF Note: Every receiver will have a dog of a game at some point. Now that he's had two, is he outside the Circle of Trust? I don't think so - I'd trade for him right now.
17.	Antonio Brown PIT vs. Was
18.	DeSean Jackson PHI vs. Atl Note: Moving down due to the weather. *
19.	Wes Welker NE at StL Note: Cortland Finnegan was playing the slot receiver most often last week. If Welker gets used in that matter, it might be a problem. Brian Hartline got shut out in a similar situation two weeks ago. (Ankle) Listed as questionable, but should play. *
20.	Eric Decker DEN vs. NO
21.	Denarius Moore OAK at KC Note: Has scored a touchdown in back-to-back weeks.

28.	Brandon Lloyd NE at StL Note: (Knee) Limited practice Wednesday.*
29.	Julio Jones ATL at Phi Note: Moving down due to the weather. *
30.	Mike Williams TB at Min
31.	Lance Moore NO at Den
32.	Santana Moss WAS at Pit
33.	Brandon Gibson STL vs. NE Note: Practiced Thursday after sitting out Wednesday with an illness.*
34.	Josh Gordon CLE vs. SD Note: Ten targets, but just two catches, and one brutal drop in the end zone that led to an even more brutal decision by coach Pat Shurmur to #PuntToWin on 4th-and-1 from the Colts' 40. Moving down due to the weather. *
35.	Michael Crabtree SF at Ari
36.	Kenny Britt TEN vs. Ind Note: (Knee) Probable. *
37.	Devery Henderson NO at Den
38.	Golden Tate SEA at Det
39.	Darrius Heyward-Bey OAK at KC

41.	Cecil Shorts JAC at GB Note: Big play early, quiet after Gabbert got hurt.
42.	Stephen Hill NYJ vs. Mia Note: Huge drop against the Pats might have altered Survivor pools everywhere.
43.	Sidney Rice SEA at Det
44.	Jeremy Kerley NYJ vs. Mia Note: Moving down due to the weather. *
45.	Donnie Avery IND at Ten
46.	Leonard Hankerson WAS at Pit

51.	*Chris Givens STL vs. NE Note: Full practices this week despite earlier contrary reports.
52.	Brandon LaFell CAR at Chi
53.	Jordy Nelson GB vs. Jac Note: Did not practice Thursday with a sore hamstring and will sit out Friday's practice as well. Game-time decision, but unlikely to play. *
54.	Jerome Simpson MIN vs. TB Note: (Foot/back) Only one target last week despite being on the field for 38 snaps. Listed as probable.*
55.	Kendall Wright TEN vs. Ind
56.	*Kyle Williams SF at Ari Note: Effectively the Niners' second receiver with Manningham out.
57.	Greg Little CLE vs. SD
58.	Earl Bennett CHI vs. Car
59.	*Ryan Broyles DET vs. Sea Note: Also should have a bigger role with Burleson out - had three catches on four targets and a touchdown Monday night, was on the field 35 snaps.
60.	Emmanuel Sanders PIT vs. Was
61.	Kevin Ogletree DAL vs. NYG
62.	Jon Baldwin KC vs. Oak

71.	Josh Morgan WAS at Pit
72.	Michael Jenkins MIN vs. TB
73.	Rueben Randle NYG at Dal
74.	Donald Driver GB vs. Jac Note: Sore neck, but practiced Thursday. Could be on the field more if Jordy Nelson can't play.*
75.	Aldrick Robinson WAS at Pit
76.	Ramses Barden NYG at Dal
77.	Randy Moss SF at Ari Note: On the field for 24 snaps with Manningham out last week - not much more than usual.
78.	Michael Floyd ARZ vs. SF
79.	Tiquan Underwood TB at Min Note: Happy for him to find work after the 'House Party' series of movies ran its course.
80.	Jarrett Boykin GB vs. Jac Note: Could get action this week with Jennings out and Jordy Nelson nursing a sore hamstring.*
81.	Braylon Edwards SEA at Det
82.	Derek Hagan OAK at KC
83.	Devin Aromashodu MIN vs. TB
84.	Rod Streater OAK at KC

91.	Mohamed Massaquoi CLE vs. SD Note: (Hamstring) Limited at Wednesday's practice.*
92.	Laurent Robinson JAC at GB Note: Finally passed his concussion test, practiced on a limited basis Thursday. Game-time decision. *

94.	Doug Baldwin SEA at Det Note: (Ankle) Did not practice Monday. High ankle sprain, out multiple weeks.*
95.	Pierre Garcon WAS at Pit Note: (Foot) Could sit the next two games. Diagnosed with a plantar plate tear in his foot.*
96.	Joseph Morgan NO at Den Note: Highlight-reel touchdown catch against the Bucs - effectively filling the Robert Meachem role of getting the occasional deep ball. (Chest) Out this week.*
97.	Greg Jennings GB vs. Jac Note: (Groin) Will undergo a 'run test' Thursday to determine whether he can practice Friday. Undergoing abdominal surgery Tuesday and will be out indefinitely. *

Tight Ends

1.	Rob Gronkowski NE at StL
2.	Jason Witten DAL vs. NYG

4.	Tony Gonzalez ATL at Phi Note: Downgrading due to the weather. *
5.	Jacob Tamme DEN vs. NO
6.	Heath Miller PIT vs. Was Note: Caught six passes and a touchdown despite having to stay in and block frequently.
7.	Jimmy Graham NO at Den Note: Will test out his ankle Wednesday. Limited in practice Wednesday and Thursday. Game-time decision - if you own him, you'd better have Tamme, Dreesen or Housler (in that order) as a safety net. *

39.	Aaron Hernandez NE at StL Note: (Ankle) On the field for 57 snaps last week. Limited Wednesday, not spotted in the media portion of Thursday's practice, much like last week. * Didn't make the trip to London, out after the ankle responded poorly this week. *

55.	James Jones GB vs. Jac Note: According to the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel, Jones doesn't have a drop all season. Much bigger role if Nelson can't play, too.
56.	Brandon Lloyd NE at StL Note: (Knee) Limited practice Wednesday.*
57.	Mike Williams TB at Min
58.	Lance Moore NO at Den
59.	Santana Moss WAS at Pit
60.	Jimmy Graham NO at Den Note: Will test out his ankle Wednesday. Limited in practice Wednesday and Thursday. Game-time decision - if you own him, you'd better have Tamme, Dreesen or Housler (in that order) as a safety net. *
61.	Antonio Gates SD at Cle Note: Downgrading due to the weather. *
62.	Vick Ballard IND at Ten Note: Good news - involved in the passing game. Bad news - Mewelde Moore got red zone carries, and Andrew Luck had two rushing touchdowns. More bad news - with Donald Brown fully practicing Friday, it's not a sure thing that Ballard starts. Awaiting the game-time decision on Brown. *
63.	Shonn Greene NYJ vs. Mia Note: Left briefly with a head injury last week, though he later returned. Not on Wednesday's injury report.*
64.	Jonathan Dwyer PIT vs. Was Note: Had 122 yards as the primary back last week, but didn't get in the end zone. Sat out practice to attend to a personal issue, scheduled to return Thursday.
65.	Alex Green GB vs. Jac
66.	Jeremy Kerley NYJ vs. Mia Note: Moving down due to the weather. *
67.	Brandon Gibson STL vs. NE Note: Practiced Thursday after sitting out Wednesday with an illness.*
68.	Josh Gordon CLE vs. SD Note: Ten targets, but just two catches, and one brutal drop in the end zone that led to an even more brutal decision by coach Pat Shurmur to #PuntToWin on 4th-and-1 from the Colts' 40. Moving down due to the weather. *
69.	Michael Crabtree SF at Ari
70.	Brian Hartline MIA at NYJ Note: Moving down due to the weather. *
71.	Kenny Britt TEN vs. Ind Note: (Knee) Probable. *
72.	Devery Henderson NO at Den
73.	Golden Tate SEA at Det
74.	Darrius Heyward-Bey OAK at KC
75.	Titus Young DET vs. Sea Note: Should have a bigger role with Burleson out for the season. Had six catches on eight targets Monday night. Limited Wednesday with a knee injury. Listed as questionable, though expected to play. *
76.	Cecil Shorts JAC at GB Note: Big play early, quiet after Gabbert got hurt.
77.	Montario Hardesty CLE vs. SD Note: Could end up starting if Richards is ineffective again. Limited at Wednesday's practice with a knee injury. Listed as probable. *
78.	LaRod Stephens-Howling ARZ vs. SF Note: LSH had 20 carries to just four for Powell against the Vikes.
79.	Jonathan Stewart CAR at Chi Note: Panthers are switching to a philosophy that keeps one back out on the field for an entire series, rather than shifting them play-by-play. This change helped Stewart more last week. **
80.	Daryl Richardson STL vs. NE
81.	Kendall Hunter SF at Ari
82.	Brent Celek PHI vs. Atl Note: Downgrading due to the weather. *
83.	Jacob Tamme DEN vs. NO

85.	Dustin Keller NYJ vs. Mia Note: Downgrading due to the weather. *
86.	Stephen Hill NYJ vs. Mia Note: Huge drop against the Pats might have altered Survivor pools everywhere.

88.	Donnie Avery IND at Ten
89.	Leonard Hankerson WAS at Pit
90.	Domenik Hixon NYG at Dal
91.	T.Y. Hilton IND at Ten

95.	Michael Bush CHI vs. Car
96.	Andre Brown NYG at Dal
97.	Phillip Tanner DAL vs. NYG Note: Had 13 carries last week backing up Felix Jones. Similar workload seems likely this week. *
98.	Pierre Thomas NO at Den
