Offensive Players

Ben Roethlisberger-QB (Steelers)
The Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger suffered a head injury in the team's week 11 matchup with the Chiefs. Big Ben left the game and did not return.

Matt Stafford-QB (Lions)
The Lions rookie quarterback Matt Stafford suffered a shoulder injury late in Sunday’s game against the Browns. Stafford could be seen coming off the field in agonizing pain. Following the game X-rays did not reveal any fracture, but reports indicate he is “iffy” for Thursday.

Ladell Betts-RB (Redskins)

Brandon Jacobs-Rb (Giants)
The Giants running back Brandon Jacobs came out of Sunday's game late with an apparent knee injury. It was announced Jacobs would return who did not, but it sounds like the injury won't keep him out of Thursday's game with Denver.

Ryan Grant-RB (Packers)
It was revealed following the Packers win on Sunday over the Niners that running back Ryan Grant suffered a mild stinger. Grant exited the game briefly, but was able to return. The injury does not appear serious, but on a short week it’s worth monitoring.
