NFL Week 6 Injury Report
Before placing any wagers on Sunday’s action in the NFL, make sure you get the latest injury reports on Brett Favre, Michael Vick and Calvin Johnson from our 2010 NFL Week 6 Injury Report.
Below are the key injuries for each team in each of the 14 games in Week 6 of the NFL. To get more injury news, make sure to check out our NFL Injury Report section.
The Dolphins are relatively healthy, although rookie defensive end Jared Odrick (ankle) was limited in practice. The opposite can be said for the Packers, who will be without Nick Barnett (wrist), Jermichael Finley (knee), and possibly Clay Matthews (hamstring), Mark Tauscher (shoulder) and Donald Driver (quad). The good news is that quarterback Aaron Rodgers (concussion) should play.
Larry Foote (foot) is out for the Chargers, but Ryan Mathews (ankle) should play after practicing this week. The Rams are relatively healthy, although Kenneth Darby has been battling a rib injury, while Mardy Gilyard has dealt with a thigh issue.
Jared Gaither (back) is still out for the Ravens and Ray Rice (knee) was limited in practice but should play. Fred Taylor is likely out with a toe injury, but the Pats enter Sunday’s game healthy at nearly every position.
The Browns are severely banged up at quarterback, where starter Seneca Wallace (ankle) and backup Jake Delhomme (ankle) are both out. Running back Peyton Hillis (thigh) has been limited but should play, while Josh Cribbs (ankle) should be a full go to face the Steelers, who are almost completely healthy.
Chris Chambers (finger) was able to practice this week and will play for the Chiefs against the Texans. Houston’s Mario Williams (shoulder) was limited in practice but should play, while Brian Cushing (knee) and Owen Daniels (hamstring) were each able to practice in full this week.
The big news for the Lions is receiver Calvin Johnson, who will be a game time decision due to a shoulder injury. Matthew Stafford (shoulder) is progressing but won’t play, while a toe injury continues to plague Jahvid Best yet the running back is expected to start. For the Giants, Mathias Kiwanuke (neck) hasn’t been able to practice, but he hasn’t been ruled out as of this writing.
Sean Weatherspoon (knee) is looking like a game time decision for the Falcons, although John Abraham (back) and Curtis Lofton (knee) should both play. Trent Cole (hamstring) was able to practice for the Eagles this week, but Michael Vick (rib) won’t play, which means Kevin Kolb will once again be under center for Philly. Running back LeSean McCoy (rib) was able to practice this week and barring any setbacks, will play against Atlanta.
Marcus Trufant of the Seahawks has been battling an ankle injury, but he should start against the Bears. Jay Cutler (concussion) will start for Chicago after missing last week’s win over the Panthers, while Brian Urlacher (groin), Chris Williams (hamstring) and Lance Briggs (ankle) should play but are questionable.
The Saints have a long list of injuries and many of their players will be game time decisions. That said, Reggie Bush (fibula) and Pierre Thomas (ankle) are both out, while Drew Brees (knee) is in. Randall Gay (head), Tracy Porter (knee) and Will Smith (groin) are all either questionable or doubtful. For the Bucs, Mike Williams (foot) was limited in practice but should play, while Kellen Winslow (knee) is a full go.
Darrelle Revis continues to battle a hamstring injury, but he should be able to play for the Jets this Sunday in Denver. Calvin Pace (foot) has been limited, but center Nick Mangold (shoulder) will play. The Broncos will be without Knowshon Moreno (hamstring) for yet another rweek, but Demaryius Thomas (concussion) should play.
For the Raiders, Bruce Gradkowski (shoulder), Darren McFadden (hamstring) and John Henderson (foot) are all out. For the winless 49ers, Delanie Walker (ankle) will be held out for another week, but tackle Joe Staley (shoulder) should play.
Cowboys’ rookie Dez Bryant (ribs) did not practice and is considered questionable for Minnesota, but Martellus Bennett (ankle) and Igor Olshansky (knee) should play. Brett Favre (ankle/elbow) is expected to play but has been limited in practice for the Vikings, while safety Madieu Williams (shoulder) and Visanthe Shiancoe (hamstring) are a go.
Dwight Freeney and Robert Mathis will play for the Colts, but Bob Sanders (biceps) and Anthony Gonzalez (ankle) will not. Receivers Austin Collie (foot) and Pierre Garcon (hamstring) should both play. For the Redskins, Albert Haynesworth has missed some practice time this week due to the death of his brother. Clinton Portis (groin) will not play, although Donovan McNabb (hamstring) and LaRon Landry (wrist) are good to go on Sunday night.
For the Monday night game, receiver Justin Gage did not practice for the Titans, while Maurice Jones-Drew was able to practice in full for the Jaguars and will play.
