[Saturday Edition]
Week 10 Injury Updates
(Some recent player injury news; updated Saturday Nov. 14th)
Offensive Player Injuries
Aaron Rdogers-QB (Packers)
Despite the continued discomfort in his feet and having the leagues dubious honor of being the most sacked quarterback Aaron Rodgers (foot) was able to practice Thursday and Friday. Even though Rodgers spends a lot of time on the ground he still ranks among the top-10 in yards (2,555 yards-7th) and touchdowns (16 touchdowns-3rd tied).

Matt Stafford-QB (Lions)
The Lions rookie quarterback has managed to take the field the last two weeks as he continues to deal with a knee injury. Over his past two starts Stafford has six turnovers, including five interceptions last Sunday.

Clinton Portis-RB (Redskins)
The Redskins normal starting running back Clinton Portis (concussion) will miss Sunday following his injury suffered in week 9. Back up Ladell Betts looks like a question mark meaning that Rock Cartwright is likely to see some work on Sunday regardless.

DeAngelo Williams-RB (Panthers)
The Panther's running back DeAngelo Williams (knee) missed practice on Friday and is listed as questionable for Sunday against the Falcons. It sounds like Williams could be a game-time decision meaning Jonathan Stewart is likely to see more work on Sunday.

Brian Westbrook-RB (Eagles)
After missing two games the Eagles running back is listed as probable for Sunday and expected to play. Westbrook (concussion) has yet to produce in 2009, but with lingering headaches last week, it could be a stretch to expect much on Sunday.

Ladell Betts-RB (Redskins)
Despite being limited on Friday running back Ladell Betts (ankle) is confident he'll play Sunday against the Broncos. With Portis doubtful for Sunday Betts would be in line for the brunt of the work, but that will now depend on how healthy the ankle is.

Terrell Owens-WR (Bills)
The Bills receiver Terrell Owens (hip) returned to practice and expects to play Sunday against the Titans. With the team reaching the mid-point this has not been the year of T.O. Owens does have his starting quarterback returning this week, but with injuries now threatening his health a big second half may not be coming.

Antonio Bryant-WR (Buccaneers)
The Bucs wide receiver Antonio Bryant (knee) did not travel with the team to Miami and will miss the team's week 10 matchup. After a biog 2008 campaign, Bryant has been a huge disappointment this season with injuries and little production.

Anquan Boldin-WR (Cardinals)
The Cardinal's wide receiver Anquan Boldin (ankle) completed a full week of practice and is officially listed as probable. Fantasy owners can expect to see a healthier Boldin (35 receptions this season, only one touchdown) on the field Sunday.

Jermichael Finley-TE (Packers)
The Packers tight end Jermichael Finley (knee) will miss at least another week with the sprained knee injury. Finley will miss his third straight game this Sunday.

Defensive Player Injuries
Antoine Winfield-CB (Vikings)
The Vikings playmaking defensive back Antoine Winfield (foot) will miss another week while he nurses his injury. He is hopeful to return in week 11.

Lito Sheppard-CB (Jets)
After missing the last two games, cornerback Lito Sheppard (quadriceps) will play Sunday against the Jaguars. Sheppard has only played in three games this season and has only nine tackles.

Joey Porter-LB (Dolphins)
The Dolphins linebacker Joey Porter who has been nursing a hamstring injury will not play Sunday. The Miami Herald is reporting this is a "coaches decision."

Chike Okeafor-LB (Cardinals)
The Cardinals linebacker Chike Okeafor (back) is listed as doubtful for Sunday and not expected to play against the Seahawks. Bertrand Berry is expected to start if Okeafor is a no-go.
