Week 11 Early Injury Reportby Mark Wimer, Exclusive to Footballguys.com
Quarterback
Brooks missed another game on Sunday (shoulder, questionable on Friday's injury report).
Carr left the game on Sunday due to a bruised left shoulder, and did not return to action. He initially looked to be in a great deal of pain but after a bit, he felt good enough to be throwing the ball on the sideline. He'll be evaluated further as the week goes along.
Lingering pain/swelling in Culpepper's reconstructed knee continues to sideline him (doubtful on Friday).
Green missed another game on Sunday (concussion), but was in uniform and available as the #3 (emergency) QB. The poor play of Damon Huard has people wondering when Green will return. Coach Herman Edwards said last week that it will be a tough decision. “I’m going to sit (Green) down and talk with him,” Edwards said, “and see what the doctors say.” Green has been out since Sept. 10 because of a severe concussion. Edwards said the loss this week would not prompt him to rush Green’s return. “No, no no,” Edwards said. “No way.”
Hasselbeck's bad knee (MCL sprain) cost him another game on Sunday as expected (doubtful on Friday's injury report).
Leftwich's sore ankle kept him sidelined on Sunday (listed as questionable on Friday).
Running Back
Alexander missed the game on Sunday as expected, due to his fractured foot (doubtful on Friday's injury report).
Barber sprained his right thumb during Sunday's game but it is not expected to keep him out of practice this week. Barber declined to speak to the media about it Monday.
Brown suffered a groin injury during the game on Sunday, and though he managed to return to action it was not insignificant: Brown said he was about 70% after the injury. "The main thing was when I was running to the left, it kind of affected me a little bit," Brown said. 'Between the tackles I felt pretty comfortable." He'll be evaluated further as the week goes along - Brown owners will want to pay attention to his progress/status this week.
Calhoun is done this year due to his knee injury (IR).
Cobb's sore ankle sidelined him on Sunday (probable on Friday's injury report).
Cramer was sidelined on Sunday due to his concussion (listed as questionable on Friday).
Gore suffered a mild concussion vs. Detroit: "He got his bell rung," San Francisco coach Mike Nolan said. "It's a mild concussion." Gore will be evaluated further as the week goes along as brain traumas often cause side effects days or weeks after the initial injury is inflicted. Teams rostering Gore will want to pay attention to his practice participation this week. Initially, Gore is considered probable for next Sunday's game against Seattle after suffering the concussion.
Houston's knee cost him another game on Sunday (listed as questionable on Friday).
McGahee missed the game on Sunday as expected (ribs, out on Friday).
Miree missed the game on Sunday as expected (elbow, doubtful on Friday).
Morency sat out of the game on Sunday due to his bad back (doubtful on Friday).
Norwood was unable to play on Sunday (knee, questionable on Friday).
Parry couldn't play on Sunday (foot, out on Friday).
Portis broke the fourth metacarpal bone in his right hand during the game on Sunday and is expected to be out at least three to four weeks. "I haven't talked to him yet, but it's something that might have to have some screws," coach Gibbs said after the game. Bubba Tyer, the Redskins' director of sports medicine, said Portis would undergo surgery as soon as today to repair the fourth metacarpal bone in his right hand, which is the bone that runs below the ring finger. Tyer said Portis would have screws inserted to stabilize the bone, but that the injury would be particularly difficult for Portis, because as a running back he must be comfortable gripping the football. Portis is right-handed. There is a fair amount of speculation that if the Redskins remain out of contention (which seems likely) that Portis might miss the rest of the season instead of rushing back.
Smith suffered a head/neck injury serious enough to be strapped to a back board and removed from the field. He did return to the sidelines later in the game, but did not play again after the injury. He'll be evaluated further as the week goes along.
Wimbush's sore ankle cost him another game on Sunday (doubtful on Friday).
Wide Receiver
Battle reported after the 49er victory that he broke a bone on the top of the hand early in the game but soldiered through the pain. He didn't appear on the 49ers' postgame injury report, meaning it's possible coaches weren't even aware of the injury. He'll be evaluated further as the week goes along.
Berrian missed the game on Sunday (ribs, questionable on Friday).
Bodiford was unable to finish the game on Sunday after suffering a right shin injury. He'll be evaluated further as the week goes along, but finished the game on crutches - he may miss a few weeks.
Engram missed the game on Sunday due to illness (listed as questionable on Friday).
Fitzgerald (hamstring injury) aggravated his sore hammy on Sunday and will be re-evaluated today. Hamstrings have an annoying tendency to become nagging injuries - stay tuned...The club is hopeful he'll be fine in a few days. It was Fitzgerald's first game back since missing three games with the injury. "The hamstring was getting so tired," said Fitzgerald, who also said that he didn't expect to miss time this week. "It didn't feel the same way when I did it against the Chiefs, but it didn't feel good. I didn't want to be down for a couple more weeks without being there with my teammates."
Givens hurt his left knee in the game vs. Baltimore and had to be carted off the field - coach Fisher stated after the game that the team is waiting for the results of a MRI, but initial indications are that the injury is serious. Stay tuned...
Glenn's sore quadriceps cost him the game on Sunday, despite being listed as probable on Friday. Given how limited he was last week, it appears that (no matter what the Cowboys might report on their injury report) Glenn is struggling with this injury and is iffy for next week.
Horn missed the game on Sunday due to his sore groin (doubtful on Friday). He is reportedly close to being ready though and has a good shot at playing this week. Stay tuned to see how he practices.
Houshmandzadeh was shaken up during the game on Sunday, and did not return to action. San Diego free safety Marlon McCree apologized for inflicting the concussion on Houshmandzadeh on Monday, saying "I apologize to (Houshmandzadeh). I'm going to pray for him and I'm going to call him (today) and make sure he's OK because the last thing I want to do is to end a guy's career on some cheap shot. I'm not a cheap player. I've never played this game to be dirty or to hurt anybody." Houshmandzadeh reported a large amount of memory loss after the game "To be honest, I don't remember a whole lot of the game right now. A big part of it has just kind of gotten away from me." He'll be watched carefully in the wake of this injury.
Moss's ongoing quad injury sidelined him for the 10th game in a row this week (listed as questionable on Friday).
Parker injured his neck on Sunday - he'll be evaluated further as the week goes along, but initial indications are not good. He may miss some time as a result of this injury.

Some reports say Gonzalez is likely to be out for 2-3 weeks. "Another good player injured,” Edwards said after the game. “And we’re running out of good players.” According to the Palm Beach Post, Gonzalez' brother, Chris Gonzalez said his brother had a strained shoulder and would miss the next two to three weeks. "(Bell) rolled on it and pulled his arm down," said Chris Gonzalez, 32. "He doesn't take pain very well. ... He'll be OK. He said, 'Call mom, let her know everything's OK.' I told him he'll be all right."
Hartsock missed yet another game on Sunday (hamstring injury) - he was listed as questionable on Friday.
Heap left this week's game after tweaking his ankle that has been bothering him. X-rays were negative and Heap returned to the game, but he'll be evaluated further as the week goes along.

T Stockar McDougle's sore ankle cost him a game on Sunday (doubtful on Friday).
It looks like change may be coming to the Jaguar's OL this week: "Before we even get into the game, let me discuss a little bit about the Khalif Barnes incident," Del Rio said. "I thought he acted extremely selfishly from being out that late in the first place on a Friday night, to putting himself and other people in our community at risk by the reckless driving. On top of that, he had a DUI citation."
G Blaine Saipaia missed the game on Sunday (chest, questionable on Friday).
RT Mark Tauscher suffered a leg injury on Sunday. He'll be evaluated further as the week goes along. "I feel pretty good," Tauscher said. "We have to get an MRI this week. It's a lower extremity." Initial indications are that this is not a knee injury.
LT Robert Gallery's sore groin cost him a game on Sunday despite being listed as probable on Friday. LG Barry Sims (abdomen) was also among Oakland's eight players deactivated for the game. The OL (which wasn't doing very well in the first place) was in chaos last Sunday.
Key LT Orlando Pace, a 7-time Pro Bowler, is now lost for the season due to a torn left triceps muscle - obviously, this is a huge blow to the Rams' OL. Said Pace: "It was really kind of a freak thing. I was just punching out, which I've been doing my whole life. But on this one, it kind of snapped."

C Jeff Hartings (knee injury) missed the game on Sunday as expected after being listed as out on Friday.

That's important to me."
