Week13 Fantasy Injury Report - Thursday's Edition

The Counselor is IN:

Here are the Week 13 fantasy injuries and my commentary. This is the Thursday Edition. I have included the latest information for all players. I will put out an edition updating further the status for this weekend's games later in the week. There is a lack of information on some of the players in this weekend's games.

Thursdays Game

Cowboys:
QB Tony Romo is probable with an injured pinkie. He has been practicing without an issue. The coaching staff is reporting that he is throwing the ball well.

WR Patrick Crayton is probable with a sprained ankle. He was able to practice on Tuesday. He is expected to play on Thursday.

Packers:
TE Bubba Franks had a set back on his knee injury and he is questionable for this week. It is unlikely that he will play on Thursday.

WR Donald Driver is probable with a sore right foot. He practiced without pads on Monday.

RB Ryan Grant has an ankle sprain and is probable for Thursday's game.

Weekend Games

Cardinals:
WR Larry Fitzgerald is probable with a sore groin . Fitzgerald was limited in practice on Wednesday.

QB Kurt Warner is probable with a banged up left elbow. He has practiced on Wednesday and will play on Sunday.

TE Eric Green was moved to the Injured Reserve with a Groin tear. Ouch! He is done for the year.

Falcons:
TE Alge Crumpler is questionable with a foot injury. He was limited in practice on Wednesday.

QB Bryon Leftwich has an ankle injury and is probable. The Falcons have decided to start Harrington. I would avoid their QB's like the plague.

WR Joe Horne is questionable with a hamstring injury. He was limited in practice on Wednesday. He will be a game time decision. I would keep him on the bench.


Ravens:
QB Steve McNair is questionable with a shoulder injury. It is unlikely that he will play on Sunday.

TE Todd Heap is questionable for Sunday's game with a hamstring injury. He did not practice on Wednesday. He is one of the best fantasy TE in the past has been out with injuries most of this year.


Bills:
RB Marshawn Lynch is out with an ankle injury. It appears that Lynch will miss week 13.

RB Anthony Thomas is questionable with a calf injury. It does not look like he will play on Sunday.

Panthers:
QB Vinny Testaverde is questionable with back stiffness. He practiced fully on Wednesday.

RB DeShaun Foster is probable with turf toe. He looked really bad on Sunday.

Bears:
KR Devin Hester is questionable with a foot injury. He missed practice on Wednesday.

RB Cedric Benson was placed on the IR for a left ankle injury. The only good news is for Adrian Peterson owners (Chicago- not Minnesota's Peterson)

Bengals:
WR TJ Houshmandzadeh is probable with a back injury. He did not practice on Wednesday.


Browns:
WR Braylon Edwards is probable with a hamstring injury. He missed practice on Wednesday.


Broncos:
RB Travis Henry is questionable with a partial tear of the posterior cruciate ligament in his left knee. He practiced fully on Wednesday.

RB Selvin Young is questionable with a knee injury. He fully practiced on Wednesday. It looks positive for Young to play this weekend.

RB Andre Hall has an ankle injury and is questionable. He did not practice on Wednesday.

Lions:
No significant fantasy injuries.

Texans:
RB Ahman Green is questionable with a knee injury. I would keep him on the bench even after he is back.
