Week 12 Early Injury Reportby Mark Wimer, Exclusive to Footballguys.com
Quarterback
Culpepper missed the game on Sunday, as expected (knee, out). He has been publicly speaking about possibly missing the rest of the season as his surgically repaired knee simply hasn't come around as hoped.
Favre injured a nerve in his right elbow. The injury left Favre without enough hand strength to grip the football. "He hit it right on the nerve, the funny-bone (ulnar) nerve, whatever you want to classify it," coach McCarthy said. On Monday, the team was more optimistic, indicating that Favre's strength was returning rapidly. With Aaron Rodgers out, the team is hopeful Favre can play in Week 12. According to the packers.com website, McCarthy said Favre was getting the strength back in his hand and wasn't concerned about the injury. He will be evaluated further on Wednesday.
Hasselbeck sat out of the game on Sunday due to his MCL sprain - he may be able to get in the game this week, but the team is being cautious to ensure he doesn't re-injure the knee (he was listed as questionable on Friday's injury report).
After consulting with Dr. James Andrews in Birmingham, Ala., Byron Leftwich has opted for ankle surgery, scheduled for this Tuesday, according to the team. He may be done for the season, or could possibly return late in the year depending on the result of the surgery.
McNabb tore his right ACL on Sunday, and is done for the season. He'll take between 8-12 months to return to the field, according to head coach Reid. Coach Reid will make a decision as to whether Jeff Garcia or A.J. Feeley will step into the Eagles' starting lineup.
Rodgers limped out of the locker room after the game with what appeared to be a serious foot or ankle injury. Rodgers, who fumbled on his final play after getting sacked, refused to talk with reporters as he limped barefoot from his locker to the training room. On Monday, the team revealed that Rodgers broke his foot and is out for the season - they need Favre to bounce back from his nerve injury quickly.
Running Back
returned from his broken foot injury and carried the ball 17 times. He was clearly rusty though and only gained 37 yards. He didn't report any setbacks or physical problems so that's a positive.
Askew missed the game on Sunday due to his sore foot (listed as questionable on Friday).
Bell's sore turf toes sidelined him on Sunday (he was listed as questionable on Friday's injury report but had been upgraded to probable on Saturday as Mike Shanahan tried to keep the defense off balance).
Brown tweaked his sore groin during the game vs. Minnesota, and missed some time before returning to action. Considering how little he was able to get done vs. Minnesota, it appears that the injury is slowing him somewhat. He'll be evaluated further as the week goes along.
Cobbs missed the game on Sunday due to his sore ankle (listed as probable on Friday).
Davenport suffered a groin injury during the game on Sunday - he'll be evaluated further as the week goes along.
Droughns missed the game on Sunday due to his injured foot (he was listed as questionable on Friday's injury report).
Foster left the game on Sunday in the 2nd quarter with a hyperextended elbow. X-rays were reportedly negative, but he did not return to action. Nick Goings saw time and DeAngelo Williams also had a lot of touches in Foster's absence. "I tried to put my arm down to keep my balance and I guess I hyperextended it," said Foster. "I could have returned if the game was closer."
Jones suffered a right ankle injury during the game on Sunday, and there are reports that the injury may be a high ankle sprain (the more serious and debilitating type of ankle injury). He'll be evaluated further as the week goes along, but the initial reports aren't encouraging for Jones owners. Arlen Harris would be the guy to step into Jones' role in the Martz offense if Jones can't take the field for a few weeks.
Jordan has been lost for the season with a torn MCL in his left knee. Backup Justin Fargas and short-yardage specialist Zack Crockett will have to pick up the slack with Jordan out for the season.
McCrary was shaken up during the game vs. Baltimore, but returned to action - the injury is considered minor.
McGahee's 3 broken ribs sidelined him on Sunday as expected (out on Friday).

Colston suffered an apparent high ankle sprain during the game on Sunday, and after briefly attempting to return to the game was sidelined by the injury. He'll be evaluated further as the week goes along. "It's definitely very disappointing," Colston said. "It's a game coming in that we thought we could get and just not being out there fighting with my teammates is definitely disappointing." X-rays and an MRI on Monday revealed no fractures or other serious damage. "We'll treat it and see how much pressure he can put on it," Payton said during his weekly media conference on Monday. "It's just a matter how much weight it can support and how quickly he can come back off of it. Each day we'll get an idea maybe a little bit of his progress." Colston is officially day-to-day as of Monday.
