Week 6 Early Injury Reportby Mark Wimer, Exclusive to Footballguys.com
Quarterback
Brooks missed another game due to his ailing right shoulder (listed as out on Friday).
Culpepper's sore right shoulder, labled by coach Saban as bruised due to repeated sacks and hits, was inactive on Sunday despite being listed as probable on Friday. Joey Harrington got the starting nod come game time. Reports out of Miami on Monday indicate that Culpepper and coach Saban were involved in a heated argument on Friday, and that Culpepper was disappointed not to play on Sunday. More than just Culpepper's bruised shoulder is in play here. On Monday, Saban announced that Harrington would remain the starter for next week, although he stopped short of endorsing him as the permanent starter for this season. He indicated that no long-term timetable for how long Harrington will remain as Miami's starter has been decided upon.
Green missed another game on Sunday as expected (concussion, out on Friday).
Jackson missed the game on Sunday due to his sore knee (he was listed as questionable on Friday's injury report).
Simms missed the game on Sunday as expected (spleenectomy, out).
Running Back
Alexander is expected to miss the Seahawks' week 6 game. Seattle Seahawks HC Mike Holmgren says Alexander needs more time for a broken foot bone to heal. Alexander should return for the Oct. 22 game against Minnesota in Seattle.
Michael Bennett's sore hamstrings ruined another game day for him - he was listed as out on Friday.
Green missed a second consecutive game due to his injured hamstring (he was listed as questionable on Friday's injury report).
Houston was unable to play on Sunday due to his hyperextended knee (doubtful on Friday's injury report) - he should miss a few more games while rehabbing this injury.
Johnson suffered a head/neck injury of unspecified severity but a scary nature when he was facemasked and had his head/neck severly twisted on Sunday. "All I remember is trying to get back on my feet and try to move around and see if everything was working" Johnson said after the game. An MRI is scheduled for Monday. "Larry's going to be fine," Chiefs coach Herm Edwards said. "I haven't talked to his doctors, but I saw him walking off. I'm pretty sure he's going to be OK."
Jones suffered a concussion during the game on Sunday - the severity of the injury is unclear as of Monday morning, but Jones will be evaluated further as the week goes along as concussions are notorious for causing side effects well after the initial injury occurs.
Smith missed the game on Sunday due to ongoing concerns about his injured eye - he was listed as out on Friday.
Ward sat out (again) on Sunday due to his injured foot (out on Friday).
Westbrook, who fought through a bone bruise in his knee to play on Sunday, has indicated that speculations he needs a knee surgery are unfounded. "Really, the only people that know what's going on are me and some of the doctors I've seen," said Westbrook "Any report from anybody outside of that circle, you've got to question the source." On Monday, coach Andy Reid commented that Westbrook came out of Sunday's game with "very little swelling." "There's a chance it [the swelling] stops and there's a chance it continues on," Reid said. "I really think it'll be day to day and week by week. We'll see how it goes."
Williams suffered a right ankle injury during the game on Sunday and had to be carted to the locker room. The injury looks significant as of Monday morning.

Ferguson missed the game on Sunday due to the foot injury he sustained during week 4 action - he was listed as doubtful on Friday.
Fitzgerald injured his right hamstring during the game on Sunday. He is scheduled for an MRI on Monday - coach Green commented that the injury "looked fairly serious" after the game on Sunday.
