Some quick news and notes for Sunday
Brett Favre Expected to start Sunday...
Despite the broken ankle and 41 years of age, it sounds like Brett Favre’s streak of consecutive starts will remain safe for at least one more week. According to some sports wires, the word is Favre expects to start after making it thru two days of practice. Even if Favre can limp his way onto the field, he’s a high risk just to make it through the Sunday.
Vernon Davis is listed as questionable...
The Niner’s tight end Vernon Davis has been nursing an ankle injury all week, but did participate in practice on a limited basis Friday. Davis did travel with the team to London, but remains a questionable play for Sunday against the Broncos. If Davis can play, he should be in most lineups facing a Bronco’s defense that has allowed 11 passing touchdowns.
Steven Jackson uncertain for Sunday...
The Rams star running back Steven Jackson (finger) returned to practice on a limited basis Friday. Jackson is nursing a broken finger, but has made it clear via twitter he expects to start Sunday. Even though head coach Steve Spagnuolo has not offered much on the subjects, it seems safe to expect to see Jackson on the field Sunday. If Jackson is good to go Sunday, he could be in line for a productive day against the Panthers 24th ranked run defense.
Pierre Thomas will not play Sunday….
The New Orleans Saints have already ruled out running back Pierre Thomas for Sunday night’s matchup with the Steelers. With Thomas and Reggie Bush likely out, Chris Ivory is expected to make his third straight start. Ivory has had some success as the team’s starter, but Sunday night against the leagues number run defense does not look inviting for owners.
