by Clayton Gray, Exclusive to Footballguys.com

The Latest News

Quarterback

*** Saturday Update *** QB Rex Grossman (CHI) has not officially been named the team's starting QB for Week 10, but he said on Friday that he "would be shocked not to" get the nod. "This week - it's a big week for me," Grossman added. "I was making sure that I've solidified everything."

*** Saturday Update *** QB JaMarcus Russell (OAK) will likely not play in week 10 against the Carolina Panthers, according to ESPN's Chris Mortensen. Russell is suffering from knee tendonitis. Andrew Walter would be the starter if that is the case.

Running Back

*** Saturday Update *** RB Jonathan Stewart (CAR) There was some confusion about Stewart practicing Friday, He did not participate in the portion of Friday's practice that was open to the media. However, he reportedly did take part in the light team workouts. Stewart did make the trip to Oakland and will be a game-time decision for Week 10.

*** Saturday Update *** RB Jamal Lewis (CLE) has ripped his teammates following the team's tough week 10 loss to the Denver Broncos. "This is the NFL, you can't call it quits until the game is over," Lewis said. "But it looks to me like some people called it quits before that. Denver was down, but they didn't call it quits. They kept their heads up and they finished. We didn't do that two weeks in a row - at home."

*** Saturday Update *** RB Peyton Hillis (DEN) With the torn ACL of Ryan Torain and still-injured going of Selvin Young, Hillis has suddenly become the healthiest RB in Denver. He will likely become their starting back.

*** Saturday Update *** RB Darren McFadden (OAK) is a game-time decision this weekend, but he is reportedly on the doubtful side of questionable. There are reports that the team will shut him down to allow his two turf toes to fully heal.

Wide Receiver

*** Saturday Update *** WR Marques Colston (NO) is finally getting close to 100 percent. "I'm to a point now where I feel like I'm pretty much back to where I want to be," said Colston. "I'm used to playing at a high level, and I feel like I'm able to do that again, and hopefully, I'll just be able to help this team make a push for the playoffs." Colston said he had to adjust to wearing a thin plastic splint over his thumb, but he said he now feels "100 percent confident in catching again." HC Sean Payton said Colston's role will be "expanded" after he was limited in each of the past two games.

*** Saturday Update *** WR Jason Hill (SF) will be the team's No. 3 receiver with Arnaz Battle out with a foot injury.

Tight End

*** Saturday Update *** TE Jeremy Shockey (NO) is rounding back into shape. Shockey missed three games earlier this season after having sports hernia surgery in late September. He also was limited in the past two games because of a setback he suffered when he did the splits on his first play from scrimmage at Carolina. He said he wouldn't put himself at 100 percent just yet, but he hopes to get there by the end of the month. "I just kind of take it one day at a time, and hopefully, it gets better every day," said Shockey, who has been battling the injury since the start of training camp, when it originally was diagnosed as a groin injury. Shockey tried to play through the pain for the first three games before it became apparent that he needed surgery. "To the Saints fans, to the organization, to my teammates, hopefully, they still trust and believe in what I can do," added Shockey. "I know what I'm capable of, and I think the fans will definitely see it soon."

All the news

Quarterback

*** Friday Update *** QB Kyle Orton (CHI) partially participated in Friday's practice but is not expected to play in Week 10. "I can't go that far,'' coach Lovie Smith said when asked if Orton did enough to be on the field Sunday. "He's making progress, this is the first day he's actually where he's able to do anything so making progress, beyond that don't know."

*** Thursday Update *** QB Kyle Orton (CHI) did not practice on Thursday. Orton was walking without a limp during a Wednesday press conference but said his ankle injury has been exaggerated and that he hopes to play Week 10. The Bears are preparing Rex Grossman to start, but Orton is leaving a window open just in case. "I don't know exactly what the timetable is going to be," he said. "I just feel like if I keep on making improvement, I certainly can't rule out this week. It's just going to go week-to-week."

*** Wednesday Update *** QB Kyle Orton (CHI) did not practice on Wednesday. Orton made two things very clear Wednesday. He said that he feels fortunate his right ankle injury wasn't more severe, but also that he's not ruling himself out for Week 10 against the Titans. Orton said he will not practice Wednesday as he continues rehab. Beyond that, he considers the injury day-to-day.

QB Kyle Orton (CHI) is expected to miss at least the next four weeks while he recovers from a high ankle sprain injury sustained during the team's Week 9 game. Orton is currently expected to return to the field in time for the Bears November 30 game against the Minnesota Vikings, assuming no setbacks in his recovery. However, there are reports that Orton's injury is less serious than a high ankle sprain, which was reported by the Chicago Tribune. A source said that the injury has been exaggerated and that the team expects the recovery time to be less than four weeks. HC Lovie Smith was less than forthcoming. "I'm not playing doctor; you shouldn't, either," he said. "You should let us come and tell you once [we] know for sure exactly what the injury is. We're hopeful, I'll just say that."

*** Wednesday Update *** QB Carson Palmer (CIN) said Wednesday afternoon that he will see another two doctors and a rehab specialist with in the next week. Palmer said a decision on what to do for the rest of the season is "slowly getting closer."

QB Derek Anderson (CLE) has been benched in favor of Brady Quinn.

QB Brady Quinn (CLE) have been moved into the starting lineup. He will start Thursday's game against the Denver Broncos.

QB Brooks Bollinger (DAL) has been elevated to No. 2 on the depth chart at quarterback.

*** Wednesday Update *** QB Tony Romo (DAL) was back on the field Wednesday, taking snaps and throwing passes with a small splint on his throwing hand. He's missed the last three games with a broken pinkie. Romo said he had no problems during a morning walkthrough. He was headed to a full-scale practice later in the afternoon and remains optimistic about returning for Week 11 at Washington.

*** Friday Update *** QB Daunte Culpepper (DET) Is expected to start for the team this weekend.

QB Daunte Culpepper (DET) has been signed by the team, and he could possibly start on Sunday. Dan Orlovsky has a sprained thumb on his throwing hand and will miss a few weeks, and there are murmurs that the coaching staff is not confident in Drew Stanton. All of this could leave Culpepper as the starter for the Lions in week 10.

*** Friday Update *** QB Dan Orlovsky (DET) will not play in Week 10. Orlovsky revealed today that he has two fractures and a torn ligament in his right thumb and that surgery could be necessary. Orlovsky has been ruled out for Week 10, but is still hoping to return at some point during the season. Orlovsky plans on seeing another hand specialist next week before any final decisions are made. When asked if he expected to be on the injured reserve list at this point next week, Orlovsky said: "Nothing would surprise me."

*** Thursday Update *** QB Dan Orlovsky (DET) did not practice on Thursday.

*** Wednesday Update *** QB Dan Orlovsky (DET) did not practice on Wednesday.

QB Dan Orlovsky (DET) sprained a ligament in his thumb on his throwing hand in Week 9 and will miss the next few weeks (and perhaps even longer). Orlovsky will have his right hand placed in a cast for the next couple weeks to see how quickly it heels before the Lions decide when he can return to action.

*** Friday Update *** QB Aaron Rodgers (GB) partially participated in Friday's practice but is still expected to play in Week 10.

*** Thursday Update *** QB Aaron Rodgers (GB) partially participated in Thursday's practice.

*** Wednesday Update *** QB Aaron Rodgers (GB) partially participated in Wednesday's practice.

QB Aaron Rodgers (GB) is facing criticism from his head coach for the first time in his career. Mike McCarthy was not pleased with the red zone performance of the Packers, in particular Rodgers. "We had a number of minus decisions down there. We need to do a better job of taking what the defense gives us, staying within the offense," McCarthy said. "But our decision-making was poor as a whole in the red zone, and it factored in the outcome in a number of those series."

*** Wednesday Update *** QB Craig Nall (HOU) has been signed to backup Sage Rosenfels. Nall was one of three veteran quarterbacks who worked out for the Texans on Tuesday. They signed him over Tim Rattay and Bruce Gradkowski. To make room for Nall on the roster, the Texans placed defensive end N.D. Kalu on waivers.

*** Friday Update *** QB Matt Schaub (HOU) will not play in Week 10.

*** Wednesday Update *** QB Matt Schaub (HOU) will not play in Week 10.

*** Friday Update *** QB Jim Sorgi (IND) partially participated in Friday's practice but is still expected to play in Week 10.

*** Friday Update *** QB JaMarcus Russell (OAK) did not practice on Friday and is questionable to play in Week 10. "I'll be ready, but I couldn't tell you," Andrew Walter said of possibly starting. "I couldn't tell you anything more about JaMarcus' health. I know they're playing it close to the vest, but that includes me too. I can't really add how he's doing. If he can go, he'll go. I'll just be a pro and, game-time decision." HC Tom Cable said the team was just being smart by sitting Russell out today. "He's got a little tendonitis, I guess," Cable said. "So it's just kind of, it's been there, had it in college, but it's acting up a little bit." There are reports that Russell is more on the doubtful side of questionable and is unlikely to play.

*** Friday Update *** QB Andrew Walter (OAK) practiced fully on Friday and is expected to be available to play in Week 10.

*** Friday Update *** QB Ben Roethlisberger (PIT) practiced fully on Friday and is expected to play in Week 10.

*** Thursday Update *** QB Ben Roethlisberger (PIT) did not practice on Thursday. Roethlisberger says he'll continue to play through a slightly separated shoulder and that he'll be sporting a brace on his left thumb most likely through the rest of the season. Roethlisberger also acknowledged that his play overall needs to improve, but that he doesn't feel a week of rest will help. "We took a week off for the bye week, and it still didn't get to 100 percent, so I don't think it would help. It's that time of year, we're halfway, it's the stretch for me, and it's time to start playing better for me." he said. It is unknown if he or backup Byron Leftwich will start Week 10.

*** Wednesday Update *** QB Ben Roethlisberger (PIT) did not practice on Wednesday. HC Mike Tomlin acknowledged for the first time that Roethlisberger's right shoulder had not fully healed since Houston's Mario Williams first wrenched it on a sack and forced fumble in the season opener. "I'm sure his shoulder has affected him," Tomlin said. "How much has it affected him, I do not know. It really is kind of irrelevant." Tomlin added that he will determine whether to rest Roethlisberger or play him Sunday against Indianapolis based on "the information that I get from my medical personnel and how he is feeling." The MRI taken on Roethlisberger's shoulder showed no significant difference than it has all season. Tomlin still called him "day-to-day." Roethlisberger said after practice Wednesday that he wants to play against Indianapolis in Week 10, but he will have to see how his shoulder feels as the week goes along.

QB Ben Roethlisberger (PIT) injured his right shoulder in the Steelers' Week 9 game against Washington Monday night.

*** Friday Update *** QB Matt Hasselbeck (SEA) will not play in Week 10. Hasselbeck went through 7-on-7 drills with the scout team Friday. HC Mike Holmgren was encouraged to see Hasselbeck on the field. "His big test was on yesterday and he came through it feeling good, which allowed him to do what he did today," Holmgren said. "He wanted to do some more but they're kind of easing him into it. And then if we don't have any setbacks, knock on wood, I'll suspect he'll practice next week and has a chance to play next week."

*** Wednesday Update *** QB Matt Hasselbeck (SEA) will not play in Week 10. HC Mike Holmgren said he does not expect Hasselbeck to miss the rest of the season - something he was beginning to think was a distinct possibility. Team doctors on Monday told Holmgren that the strength in Hasselbeck's leg, which has been depleted because of a bulging disk in his back, is returning slowly and he should be able to start practicing soon. "The feeling is he will play again this season," Holmgren said on Tuesday. "When? I don't know. But my hope is sooner rather than later." However, Holmgren said Wednesday that Hasselbeck has passed the required strength tests on his injured right knee. The team expects he will be able to return for their Week 11 game against the Cardinals.

QB Matt Hasselbeck (SEA) could return to practice this week. This would be the first time that Hasselbeck has practiced in more than a month. If he does return to practice this week, it would be in a limited role. Hasselbeck has been bothered by a bulging disk in his back as well as an injury to his knee, but both are getting better.

*** Friday Update *** QB Kerry Collins (TEN) practiced fully on Friday and is expected to play in Week 10.

*** Wednesday Update *** QB Kerry Collins (TEN) partially participated in Wednesday's practice.

Running Back

RB Tim Hightower (ARI) will keep the starting job over veteran Edgerrin James, who had zero carries on Sunday. HC Ken Whisenhunt was cautiously optimistic about Hightower. "We've got to see it over time in order to say Tim has arrived. I'm excited about the way he played, but let's be very clear about this: The reason he played is because he worked hard and earned (it)." Whisenhunt would not rule out using James in short yardage situations, but wouldn't commit to any particular arrangement.

*** Thursday Update *** RB Willis McGahee (BAL) partially participated in Thursday's practice. McGahee got a good review from HC John Harbaugh on Wednesday. "Willis looked good, it's the ankle more than the knee," Harbaugh said. "The knee is feeling really good, he says, and he's working the ankle back. So, this should be a good week for him."

*** Wednesday Update *** RB Willis McGahee (BAL) partially participated in Wednesday's practice.

RB Willis McGahee (BAL) The Ravens are unsure of who will start at RB this Sunday when the team faces the Houston Texans. In light of Ray Rice's stellar performance Sunday and Willis McGahee's lingering injury, HC Jim Harbaugh was unwilling to commit to a starter for week 10. "I don't know if we know going into the game," Harbaugh said. "We'll find out who is going to play more based on how we match up against this football team. Certainly, Ray has expanded himself with the things he can do and the confidence he builds in the coaching staff."

"It hurts every time I press off on it." Without unexpected improvement, he'll likely sit this weekend.

*** Thursday Update *** RB Jonathan Stewart (CAR) did not practice on Thursday. Stewart might not play in Week 10 against the Raiders after missing his second straight day of practice on Thursday with a heel injury. Stewart was wearing a walking boot on his left foot Thursday. Stewart said the heel began bothering him in Week 8 He described the heel as "sore." HC John Fox wouldn't rule out Stewart playing. If Stewart can't go, Nick Goings would be Carolina's backup running back behind starter DeAngelo Williams.

"When you draft a guy like that," Edwards said, "you know that you can't give him the load of your offense. You have to pick your spots with him."

*** Thursday Update *** RB Larry Johnson (KC) HC Herman Edwards said Larry Johnson will return from a four-week absence Week 11 although he could be brought back slowly. "He's been out a month. It's time for him to come back," Edwards said. "We'll see where that's at."

If I'm open and I don't get the ball, then I don't get the ball. There's nothing really I can do. I can't throw and catch the ball myself. I can only just do what I can control."

*** Thursday Update *** DE Aaron Schobel (BUF) did not practice on Thursday. Schobel had his injured left foot placed in a cast that he will wear for at least a week.

*** Wednesday Update *** DE Aaron Schobel (BUF) did not practice on Wednesday.

*** Thursday Update *** DE Jared Allen (MIN) missed practice again on Thursday as he continues to receive treatment for the third degree sprain or separation of his right shoulder. The injury could keep Allen out for the team's Week 10 game against the Green Bay Packers. Asked if he was hoping to play, the defensive end responded "that's all on them," in reference to head coach Brad Childress and the Vikings medical staff. "I've got two more days. I'm not really thinking about it. And it's not solely on me. If it was my decision, I think you guys know what my decision would be."

*** Wednesday Update *** DE Jared Allen (MIN) did not practice on Wednesday. Allen said Wednesday he has a third-degree sprain of his right shoulder, the most serious type of sprain.

DE Jared Allen (MIN) suffered a sprained right shoulder in Week 9 and might not play in Week 10 according to HC Brad Childress. "Yeah, there's a concern (Allen might be sidelined) because it's a painful injury to play with," Childress said.

DE Charles Grant (NO) has been placed on injured reserve with a triceps injury. Grant suffered the injury against San Diego in Week 8 but finished the game. He will likely be replaced in the starting lineup by Bobby McCray. The Saints replaced Grant on the roster with DT Hollis Thomas. Grant is also facing a four-game league suspension as one of four Saints players who tested positive for a banned diuretic this summer.

The coach added that Kerney is expected to play again this season. "When they looked at his shoulder, it was the best news we could get," Holmgren said. "It was not major. They had to clean out a few things in there, apparently, and some things that were causing him the pain. The expectation is that we will have him back to play this season."

DE Patrick Kerney (SEA) flew to Alabama on Sunday and will be examined by James Andrews today in Alabama. Kerney re-injured the shoulder he underwent surgery on in the offseason. Andrews is the doctor who performed that surgery. Kerney will undergo surgery later this week on his previously repaired shoulder.

It was unclear what led to Peterson's dismissal, which came as the Jaguars try to rebound from consecutive losses to Cleveland and Cincinnati.
