Week 13 Early Injury Reportby Mark Wimer, Exclusive to Footballguys.com
Quarterback
Bulger revealed after the game on Sunday that he's been playing through a bruised rib for the past 3-4 weeks. A hard shot from Bryant Young aggravated the injury during the game on Sunday - "I've had a bruised rib," Bulger said. "And he got me right on the spot. So it pretty much knocked the wind out of me, and I couldn't breathe. I couldn't get up." Bulger said he has taken pain-killing shots for the rib injury "three or four weeks in a row now."
Culpepper continues to miss games as expected (knee, out on Wednesday).
Favre, coming off an ulnar nerve injury and a hand contusion on his throwing arm, will start as usual against Seattle on Monday Night Football. "Would I be surprised if he wasn't 100 percent? I don't think that's really the key thing here," Seattle head coach Mike Holmgren said. "I've seen him get hurt worse than that. And he comes back and plays...With Brett, you always know two things, You always know he's going to play, and you always know he's going to play well."
Garcia was forced out of the game with a bruised forearm on Sunday - the injury occurred near the end of the game and doesn't appear to be a major issue as of Monday morning.
Grossman said his right (throwing) hand was cleated during the second half, but that he played through the injury on Sunday.
Matt Hasselbeck will play in the Monday Night game vs. Green Bay - he will wear a brace on the right knee he sprained against Minnesota 36 days ago. "I am very anxious to get back out there and start playing again, start getting a little bit of the rust off and hopefully playing at a high level," Hasselbeck said.
Leftwich missed the game on Sunday as expected (ankle surgery, out on Friday).
McNabb, already on IR due to his torn ACL, will have surgery to repair his knee on Tuesday. McNabb quietly has made significant progress in preparation for surgery to repair a torn anterior cruciate ligament and meniscus in his right knee - renowned orthopedist Dr. James Andrews will perform the procedure.
Pennington gave the Jets a scare when he landed awkwardly on his surgically repaired shoulder during the game on Sunday - but he didn't appear to injure the joint, staying on the turf due to having the wind knocked out of him. "I just wanted to breathe," Pennington said, "The simple things in life. Let's just breathe right now and we can worry about the shoulder later...I thought I wasn't going to make it. If anybody ever had that happen, you know it's the worst feeling in the world. You're sitting there like, 'Oh my goodness, I'm not going to make it.' Right here on the football field. But things worked out well."
Roethlisberger was briefly sidelined (wind knocked out) when he got hammered by Bart Scott on Sunday (one of 9 sacks Roethlisberger suffered) - he returned to action and didn't appear to be seriously hurt, though.
Running Back
Askew missed the game on Sunday due to his sore foot (listed as questionable on Friday's injury report).
Bell's turf toes forced him to miss the Thanksgiving Day game (listed as questionable on Wednesday). "It was the coaches' decision that they wanted me to be 100 percent," Tatum Bell said. "And not 60, 70, 80 or 90 percent. Next week I should be ready to go."
Brown could be out several weeks while recovering from surgery on his left hand,(he fractured the first metacarpal bone (between the wrist and fingers) vs. Detroit) according to coach Saban (commenting this past Saturday). "There's a pretty good chance that this week is going to be a difficult one," Saban said. "We'll go week to week, and it may be several weeks before he gets back. But we don't know that." Sammy Morris replaced Brown in Thursday's game and ran well posting 91 yards on 12 carries with a long run of 55 yards. He'll likely continue to see work if Brown is out.
Despite being listed as probable on Wednesday (ankle), Cobbs was inactive for the Thanksgiving Day game.
Foster was sidelined on Sunday due to his hyper-extended elbow (listed as questionable on Friday's injury report). "His elbow was sore, and putting a running back out there with one arm is not in the best interest of him," Coach John Fox said. "We thought it was better to wait some more time until we deemed him healthy."
Gore suffered a right ankle injury late in the game on Sunday. X-rays on his lower leg were negative and the team will know more today after further examination.
Jones missed the Thanksgiving game due to his injured ankle (listed as questionable on Wednesday).
Jordan was unable to play on Sunday, as expected (knee, out on Friday).
Perry broke a bone in his leg during the game vs. Cleveland, and is out for the rest of the season. Coach Lewis said Perry broke a bone in his leg and will have a screw surgically inserted, but did not identify which bone was broken. Later reports indicated the broken bone is in his right ankle.
Smith missed the game on Sunday due to his sore hamstring (listed as questionable on Friday's injury report).
Stecker was inactive on Sunday due to his sore ankle (listed as questionable on Friday's injury report).
Thomas suffered an ankle injury during the game on Sunday and was limited to spot duty after the incident. He'll be evaluated further as the week goes along - Willis McGahee scored 2 TDs during the game, so Thomas is likely back on the bench regardless of his injury status.

Battle played through the pain of a left hand surgery on Sunday (the procedure was done 6 days before) - "I guess you could say it was a small factor." he commented after the game.

Shockey suffered a compound dislocation of his ring finger on his left hand during pre-game warmups Sunday, but he played against the Tennessee Titans despite the injury. "Compound" meaning the bone came through the skin from the inside. He went to the locker room and the bones were put back in place and the skin was sewn up. "The good thing is it wasn't broken. They just put it back in and sewed it back up...My hand is still numb, but it wasn't going to keep me out of this game and it won't keep me out next week [against Dallas] or out of practice during the week."
