Week 2 Fantasy Injury Report - Weekend Ed.

The Counselor is IN:

Cardinals:
WR Anquan Boldin has an injured hamstring and is probable. He practiced fully on Friday. He played last weekend in a limited capacity. I expect him to play more but not at full strength.

WR Steve Breaston is questionable with a knee injury. He had a good practice on Friday. I expect him to play at least in some capacity. I would probably leave him on the bench this week.

WR Early Doucet has a rib injury and is questionable for Sunday. He fully practiced on Thursday.

Falcons:
K Jason Elam is probable and had a hamstring injury. He did fully practice on Thursday and Friday. He should be good to play on Sunday.


Ravens:
TE L.J. Smith has a pulled left hamstring and is questionable for Sunday. Smith is a backup TE who should not be owned.



Bills:
WR James Hardy is out indefinitely due to recovering from ACL surgery.


Panthers:
RB Jonathan Stewart is probable with an Achilles injury. He fully practiced most of the week.


Bears:
TE Desmond Clark is out three-to-six weeks with a broken rib.




Bengals:
No significant fantasy injuries.


Browns:
RB Jamal Lewis has a neck injury and is probable for this weekend. He practiced on Thursday and Friday. He should be good to go.


Cowboys:
QB Tony Romo is probable with an ankle injury. He practiced all week. He will start tomorrow night but should not have as many yards against a good Giants Defense.

RB Felix Jones has a thigh bruise and is probable. He fully practiced this week. Felix the Cat will play and hopes to bring some big plays to the inaugural regular season game of Cowboys Stadium.


Broncos:
QB Kyle Orton has a finger injury and is probable. He is expected to play on Sunday. He needs to get the ball to his top notch starting wide outs.


Lions:
No significant fantasy injuries.


Packers:
RB Brandon Jackson is doubtful with an ankle injury. He was limited in practice on Friday. He is only a backup so it should not matter.

K Mason Crosby has abdomen issue and is probable. He was limited in practice on Friday. Expect Crosby to play.

WR Greg Jennings is probable with a wrist injury. He was limited in practice on Friday. I expect him to play with no issues.


Texans:
WR Andre Davis has as concussion and is out for Sunday.

WR Kevin Walter is questionable with a hamstring injury. He fully practiced on Wednesday but was limited on Thursday and Friday. He will be a game time decision.

QB Tom Brady is probable with a sore right shoulder. He has been listed on the injury list for years as probable (except when out last year). He will play.

WR Wes Welker has a knee injury and is questionable. He was limited in practice all week. I would not start him unless you have to this week.


Saints:
RB Pierre Thomas is questionable with a knee injury. Thomas is iffy this week. I would leave him on the bench for another week.

Steelers:
WR Limas Sweed is questionable with a foot injury. He did not practice on Thursday or Friday.

RB "Fast" Willie Parker has a hamstring tweak and is listed as probable. Parker is the starting back but did not have a good week last week. He may lose touches to the other Running Backs.
