Indianapolis Colts WR Austin Collie will be sidelined indefinitely after suffering another concussion during Sunday’s win over Jacksonville. Collie took a vicious hit down the seam and crumbled to the ground. There’s no way the Colts can let him back on the field after dealing with concussions off-and-on all season. His career and health after [...]

Green Bay Packers QB Aaron Rodgers (concussion) has been ruled out for Sunday’s game against New England. Matt Flynn will start his first ever NFL game, and should be a little bit more prepared to play this week after taking all the first-team reps in practice. Still, he makes every Packer skill player outside of [...]

Pittsburgh Steelers S Troy Polamalu (ankle) is unlikely to play Sunday against the Jets, according to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. Polamalu’s loss will be huge against a reeling Jets’ offense. It should make the game much closer than it normally would have been. Consider it an upgrade for the Jets’ receivers.

Washington Redskins QB Rex Grossman will start Sunday’s game against Dallas over Donovan McNabb, according to Kelli Johnson of CSN Washington. Offensive Coordinator Kyle Shanahan stated Thursday that Grossman was not receiving increased reps in practice, but that is obviously not the case. The team has no reason to start Grossman, as he is not [...]

New York Giants WR Steve Smith will undergo knee surgery and miss the remainder of the season, according to Paul Schwartz of the New York Post.

Buffalo Bills WR Lee Evans will likely miss multiple weeks after suffering a high ankle sprain during Sunday’s win over Cleveland. Evans failed to record a catch before leaving, and could possibly miss the remainder of the season with the injury. Steve Johnson will likely see even more targets in Evans’ absence, as the Bills [...]

Minnesota Vikings QB Brett Favre (shoulder) is considered unlikely to play, according to Coach Leslie Frazier, but will test the shoulder in pregame warmups in hopes of playing. Favre’s 297-consecutive game streak is on the line, and you can be sure he’ll do whatever it takes to make it 298. Tarvaris Jackson practiced with the [...]

Kansas City Chiefs QB Matt Cassel (appendectomy) is officially listed as doubtful for Sunday’s game against San Diego. Brodie Croyle will start the most significant game the Chiefs have played in quite a few years. Look for the team to focus on the run as long as they stay close. Dwayne Bowe is benchable in [...]

Minnesota Vikings WR Percy Harvin (migraines) missed practice again on Friday and is not expected to play against the Giants. Harvin, who had not missed a game previously due to migraines, looks like he’ll now miss his second consecutive contest this week. The migraines are becoming a legitimate long-term concern for Harvin’s future going forward. [...]
