Injuries to Watch: Week 8

Brian WestbrookWhether it's torn, sprained, broken or just needs to be taped, Injuries to Watch will keep you up to date on injuries around the NFL and how they'll affect your fantasy football team.

Quarterback

Trent Edwards, Bills - Edwards has been ruled out for Week 8. He participated in practice on Wednesday but only in a limited capacity. He's not recovering as quickly from the concussion as the medical staff would like, even though he's been cleared to play. Ryan Fitzpatrick will start in his place.

Matthew Stafford, Lions - Stafford practiced fully on Tuesday but was limited on Wednesday with his knee injury. The fact that he practiced two days in a row is a step in the right direction, but it's still not known whether or not he'll be able to start on Sunday.

Daunte Culpepper, Lions - Culpepper practiced on Tuesday and Wednesday and his hamstring injury seems better. The Lions won't announce a starter for Week 8 until later in the week.

Aaron Rodgers, Packers - Rodgers was limited in practice on Wednesday with a foot injury. He is listed as questionable for their game on Sunday against Minnesota.

Brett Favre, Vikings - Favre was limited in practice on Wednesday with a hip injury but it's tough to see a situation where he wouldn't play on Sunday against Green bay.

Matt Hasselbeck, Seahawks - Hasselbeck did not practice on Wednesday due to a rib injury but head coach Jim Mora said that Hasselbeck will be at full-strength by Sunday.

Running Back

Donald Brown, Colts - As much as he wants to be at practice, Brown was held out on Wednesday with a left shoulder injury. Brown says he will practice this week but Bill Polian says he's not likely to play on Sunday.

Darren McFadden, Raiders - McFadden's knee is not ready to return to action. He'll miss his fourth straight game on Sunday, which is good news for those of you who have handcuffed McFadden with Justin Fargas.

Brian Westbrook, Eagles - Westbrook was held out of practice on Wednesday but still hasn't been ruled out of Sunday's game. That's crazy considering that Westbrook cannot remember whether he was knocked out of the game on a pass or run play.

LenDale White, Titans - White's knee injury kept him from practicing on Wednesday and it's unlikely, even though the Titans haven't said as much, that he'll play on Sunday.

Ahmad Bradshaw, Giants - Bradshaw made a trip to North Carolina to visit a foot specialist and get an opinion on his nagging foot/ankle injury. He usually spends Wednesday and Thursday in a protective boot and practices on Friday. He's played each week since tweaking the ankle in Week 3. He's listed as questionable at this point.

Jonathan Stewart, Panthers - Stewart is expected to be limited by his Achilles injury all season. He missed practice on Wednesday but is expected to practice on a limited basis on Thursday.

Wide Receiver

Anquan Boldin, Cardinals - Boldin practiced on Wednesday even though his ankle is still tender. He's been playing through the pain for a while now. Expect him to be on the field on Sunday.

Calvin Johnson, Lions - Johnson was not able to practice on Wednesday making it very shaky that he'll play on Sunday. He is listed as questionable on the injury report.

Andre Johnson, Texans - Johnson didn't practice on Wednesday due to a chest injury but is expected to play on Sunday -- he almost guaranteed as much.

Anthony Gonzalez, Colts - Gonzalez is expected to get back to practice this week for the first time since damaging ligaments in his left knee during the season opener. It's questionable as to whether he'll be able to play on Sunday.

Reggie Wayne, Colts - Wayne was not able to practice on Wednesday but the team expects him to only miss a day or two and to be able to play on Sunday.

Bernard Berrian, Vikings - Berrian missed practice on Wednesday with a hamstring injury. He is listed as questionable for Week 8.

Jerricho Cotchery, Jets - Cotchery returned to practice on Wednesday, participated on a limited basis and said that he will be ready to play on Sunday.

DeSean Jackson, Eagles - Andy Reid told reporters that Jackson would be ok, even though he missed practice on Wednesday. Expect him to play on Sunday.

Kevin Curtis, Eagles - With his knee still not healed, Curtis has been ruled out for Week 8. he will not play on Sunday.

Muhsin Muhammad, Panthers - Muhammad missed practice on Wednesday and is listed as day-to-day. Dwayne Jarrett is itching to get into the action if Muhammad can't play on Sunday.

Tight End

Kevin Boss, Giants - Even though he took a huge helmet-to-helmet hit on Sunday and blacked out, Boss was not on the injury report and could play in Week 8.
