Whether 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
• Peyton Manning, Colts - Manning was limited in practice on Thursday for the second straight day with a sore backside. The is no doubt that he'll be able to play on Sunday, say team officials.
• Ben Roethlisberger, Steelers - Roethlisberger has done everything this week in practice and passed all of the head tests associated with a concussion, even though the team says he did not suffer a concussion. He should be fine to play on Sunday. [Update: Roethlisberger has been ruled out for Sunday's game.]
• Kurt Warner, Cardinals - Warner participated fully on Thursday and should be able to play on Sunday after suffering a head injury in Week 11.
Running Back
• Julius Jones, Seahawks - Jones is slowly coming back from some internal injuries involving his ribs and lungs. He was limited in practice on Thursday and Jim Mora says that he'll start on Sunday if he's well enough.
• Reggie Bush, Saints - New Orleans did not practice on Thursday but the team says that Bush would have practiced on a limited basis if they had. He missed Week 11 with a knee injury and has an extra day to get back for Week 12 as they play on Monday night.
• Steven Jackson, Rams - Jackson missed practice on Thursday with a back injury but the Rams feel confident he'll be able to play on Sunday.
• Willie Parker, Steelers - Parker was limited in practice on Thursday with a hip injury. His status for Sunday is still up in the air -- more will be known after practice on Friday.
• Adrian Peterson, Vikings - Peterson has been limited in practice all week with an ankle injury but is expected to play on Sunday.
• Cedric Benson, Bengals - Benson was on the practice field Thursday rehabbing his hip injury while the team practiced. This news gives hope that Benson might play on Sunday.
• Jerious Norwood, Falcons - Norwood practiced for the second straight day on Thursday and looks like he'll play on Sunday. He hasn't played since Week 6 due to a hip injury.
• Jonathan Stewart, Panthers - Stewart practiced fully on Thursday and his Achilles injury should not keep him from playing on Sunday.
• Michael Turner, Falcons - Turner has been a limited participant at practice this week and the decision on whether or not he'll play will be a game-time decision.
• Steve Slaton, Texans - Slaton was limited in practice with a neck injury but will play on Sunday say team officials.
• Jamal Lewis, Browns - Lewis was limited in practice on Thursday with an ankle injury but is expected to play on Sunday.
Wide Receiver
• Isaac Bruce, 49ers - Bruce is suffering from an ankle injury and has already been ruled out for Sunday.
• Mike Sims-Walker, Jaguars - He missed practice on Wednesday with a knee injury, but bounced back to participate fully on Thursday. He will be able to play on Sunday barring any setbacks.
• Bernard Berrian, Vikings - Berrian practiced on both Wednesday and Thursday, but did so on a limited basis with his hamstring injury. He's been able to play in previous weeks with this nagging injury, so it's safe to think he'll do the same on Sunday.
• Vincent Jackson, Chargers - Jackson returned to practice on Thursday and participated fully. He is expected to play on Sunday.
• Laveranues Coles, Bengals - Coles has been absent from practice all week with a chest injury and his prospects of playing on Sunday aren't great. There is still a chance, however.
• Reggie Wayne, Colts - Wayne missed practice on Wednesday with a foot injury, but participated fully on Thursday. He is expected to play on Sunday.
Tight End
• Todd Heap, Ravens - Heap was limited on Wednesday with a rib injury but practiced fully on Thursday. He will play on Sunday.
• Kellen Winslow, Buccaneers - Winslow was limited on Wednesday with a knee injury but participated fully on Thursday. He will likely play on Sunday.
Kicker
• Neil Rackers, Cardinals - Rackers is nursing a groin injury but should be able to kick on Sunday. The team will be watching his progress closely in case they need to bring in another kicker due to a setback.
