THE ATL REPORT
Around the League
WR-Andre Johnson could face tough challenge….
The Bengal’s secondary has been susceptible to the big play this season, but one thing they’ve managed to master along the way is shutting down the opposition’s number one receiving option. Johnson leads the Texans with 28 receptions for 437 yards.
DB-Courtand Finnegan not expected to play Sunday.…
The loss of Finnegan for Sunday only adds to the Titans problems in the secondary with cornerback Nick Harper already out with a broken arm. Finnegan is missing his thired straight game and with quarterback Tom Brady on the bill for Sunday, it could be a long afternoon.
WR-Jeremy Maclin expected to start against Raiders…..
With wide receiver Kevin Curtis battling injuries for the first part of the season, rookie wideout Jeremy Maclin has taken full advantage. His solid play and spectacular catches last week have likely elevated him into the starting lineup for the remainder of the season.
QB-Matt Stafford to be Game-time decision…
The Lion’s rookie quarterback Matthew Stafford is again expected to be a game-time decision on Sunday. With both he and wide receiver Calvin Johnson not practicing Friday the outlook for Sunday looks bleak.
TE-Dallas Clark helping carry the load this season….
When the Colts released Marvin Harrison in the offseason, the first questions out were who would fill his shoes; that daunting task fell on the shoulders of the Colts third year receiver Anthony Gonzalez. With the kid going down in week one, Clark has stepped up huge in the passing game with 35 receptions and 441 yards.
QB-Tom Brady could be in for a big passing day….
With the Titan’s secondary in shambles missing its’ top three corners due to injury, the Patriot’s quarterback Tom Brady could be ready to strike. The passing game also received a little boost with Wes Welker being removed from the injury report this week.
RB-Steven Jackson looking to bust out on Sunday….
The Rams star running back has been kept out of the endzone thus far this season, but Sunday against the Jaguars this could all change. Jackson has been the mainstay on offense for the Rams this season and he’ll be facing a defense that is ranked 18th against the run.
RB-Cedric Benson is leading the Bengal’s ground game….
Benson has been a pleasant surprise for the team since his arrival last season, but his week 5 performance against the Ravens was impressive. His 120 yards rushing not only helped elevate his team to a huge divisional win, but it also moved him into the top rushing spot in the league with 487 yards on the ground.
RB-Correll Buckhalter practices on Saturday….
The Bronco’s running back was able to complete a full practice on Saturday and is listed as probable for Monday night against the Chargers.
WR-Michael Crabtree expected to make debut in week 7….
According to team staff, the rookie is putting in the extra time and has been having good practices with the team during the bye. The Niners are in big need for help in the passing game this season.
