NFL Injury Report

6. November 2009  - Published by Rick Broering

Aaron Rodgers, Packers - Rodgers sat out of practice on Wednesday with sprained right foot and sore toe on his left foot. He's not expected to participate in practice until Friday, but he is expected to play on Sunday.

Matthew Stafford, Lions - Stafford practiced on Wednesday, but only as a limited participant. His right knee is banged up.

Matt Hasselbeck, Seahawks - Hasselbeck was very limited in practice on Wednesday with his rib injury. He only took a few snaps and will probably rest more throughout the week to prepare for Sunday.

Willie Parker, Steelers - Parker is sick and sitting out of practice but says there is no way he is missing the game on Monday night.

Sammy Morris, Patriots - Morris did not participate in practice on Wednesday. It is not known whether or not he'll be available on Sunday.

LeSean McCoy, Eagles - McCoy has a severe case of the flu and did not practice on Wednesday. Watch the illness as the week progresses.

Kevin Smith, Lions - Smith sat out practice on Wednesday after he re-injured his shoulder last week. 

 Ahmad Bradshaw, Giants - Just like every Wednesday practice in recent memory, Bradshaw was given the day off to rest his ankle and foot. His participation on Sunday is in question, but it has been each of the last few weeks and he's always played.

Brian Westbrook, Eagles - Westbrook has been cleared to practice after receiving a concussion two weeks ago. He practiced in full and is expected to play on Sunday.

Jonathan Stewart, Panthers - Stewart sat out of practice on Wednesday with an Achilles injury. He normally sits out on Wednesday's, so this is nothing new. He should be able to play on Sunday.

Calvin Johnson, Lions - Johnson did practice on Wednesday but was limited with the knee injury that has kept him from playing recently. The coaching staff is cautiously optimistic that Johnson will be able to play on Sunday.

Randy Moss, Patriots - Moss was given the entire bye week off from practice but returned and is participating fully this week. He will start on Sunday.

Donald Driver, Packers - Driver sat out of practice on Wednesday with a neck stinger, but he is expected to play on Sunday.Anthony Gonzalez, Colts - We've heard that November is the month that Gonzalez will return to action, we just don't know what week in November. He did not practice on Wednesday and it's looking like Week 9 will not be the week he starts. 

Anquan Boldin, Cardinals - The coaching staff has listed Boldin as day-to-day, but the receiver missed practice on Wednesday and may not be able to play on Sunday.

Roddy White, Falcons - The Falcons were not required to release an injury report today since they did not practice, but the team estimated that White would not have practiced due to his knee injury.

Mario Manningham, Giants - Manningham was limited in practice on Wednesday with a shoulder injury. He says that he's feeling better but it's not known whether he'll be able to play on Sunday.

Lance Moore, Saints - Moore has been icing his ankle all week and is in a walking boot. He did not practice on Wednesday but hopes that he'll heal quickly enough to play on Sunday.

College Football Weekend Preview

30. October 2009  - Published by Rick Broering

Game of the Week:

#5 USC at #10 Oregon
8:00 PM
ABC

The Pac-10 champion won't be decided Saturday when these two square off, but it will definitely have an effect on the outcome.

The fifth-ranked Trojans will be out of the hunt if they should lose to Oregon. Meanwhile, Oregon has turned around their season since their season-opening loss to Boise State and are looking for their first Pac-10 title since 2001.

The key for the Trojans will be their defense and their running game. They will have to improve on the defensive side of the football after giving up 36-points last week to Oregon State this week, as they go against Oregon's prolific offense led by quarterback Jeremiah Masoli. On offense they will need to control the ball and open up some big holes for Joe McKnight and Allen Bradford in the run game.

For Oregon the key will be to get off to a fast start on offense and create turnovers on defense. The offense is averaging 45.7 points and 484.7 yards in the last three games that Masoli has played. Defensively the Ducks are tied for the lead in the Pac-10 with 19 takeaways. If they are able to get up early and force a turnover or two by USC freshman quarterback Matt Barkley then the Ducks have a great chance to pull off the upset.

Other Games to Watch:

#3 Texas at #14 Oklahoma State

This year should renew the rivalry between these two teams. Colt McCoy is 3-0 against the Cowboys while completing 79.4 perecent of his passes for 1,019 yards. Will he come out of this one 4-0?

#22 South Carolina at Tennessee

Tennessee tries to rebound at home after their close call with Alabama last week against a South Carolina team that has only won once in 14 tries in Knoxville.

Upset Pick of the Week
: Tennessee over South Carolina
