The Jacksonville Jaguars have ruled WR Mike Sims-Walker (ankle) out for Sunday’s game against Tennessee. Sims-Walker played through a high-ankle sprain last week against the Giants, but must have had some type of regression since then, as he won’t even test the ankle in warmups Sunday to see if he can go. Being ruled out [...]

Minnesota Vikings WR Percy Harvin (migraines) and RB Adrian Peterson (ankle) are both officially listed as questionable for Sunday’s game against Buffalo. Peterson returned to practice Friday and looks like he’ll be ready to go Sunday. Harvin has battled a recurrence of his migraine troubles this week and missed practice on Thursday and Friday, so [...]

Houston Texans WR Andre Johnson was fined $25,000 for his fight with Tennessee Titans CB Cortland Finnegan on Sunday, but will not be suspended. Finnegan was fined the same amount, and given Finnegan’s reputation, it’s no surprise Johnson was not suspended. Johnson has been a model citizen since entering the league, so he gets a [...]

San Diego Chargers WR Vincent Jackson (calf) will miss at least the next two weeks, according to NBC’s Andrea Kremer. Kremer also mentioned that Jackson hurt his groin in practice last week, so the calf strain likely resulted from overcompensating for the groin injury. It’s looking highly unlikely Jackson will be making an impact in [...]

San Diego Chargers WR Vincent Jackson left Sunday’s game against Indianapolis during the first quarter with a calf injury and did not return. Jackson lasted just three plays before leaving with the injury. Lower body injuries are always a concern for players coming off of holdouts (i.e. Darrelle Revis), so this isn’t exactly surprising. The [...]

Miami Dolphins WR Brandon Marshall (hamstring) missed practice again on Friday and is not expected to play Sunday against Oakland. Marshall strained his hamstring last Thursday against Chicago, and beat writers predict he could miss multiple weeks. Davone Bess and Brian Hartline should see more looks in Marshall’s absence. Chad Henne is expected to be [...]

Indianapolis Colts WR Austin Collie (concussion) has been ruled out for Week 12. While it hasn’t been confirmed that Collie suffered another concussion, it’s likely given how early he’s been ruled out. We wouldn’t expect to see Collie for several weeks. Blair White will continue to fill-in in the slot, while Pierre Garcon maintains WR2/3 [...]

San Diego Chargers WR Patrick Crayton suffered a dislocated wrist during Monday’s win over Denver and is out indefinitely. Crayton will undergo more tests, but his season is likely over. Crayton was about to become an afterthought in the Chargers’ offense anyway, with Vincent Jackson set to return in Week 12. Crayton performed well in [...]

New York Giants WR Hakeem Nicks will miss the next three weeks with compartment syndrome in his right leg. Compartment syndrome deals with a muscle circulation problem, so the Giants will likely be very cautious with their budding star. Mario Manningham will take over as the Giants’ #1 wide receiver for the next few weeks, [...]

Indianapolis Colts WR Austin Collie left Sunday’s game against New England during the second quarter for precautionary reasons after taking several hits. Collie returned from his fairly severe concussion after missing just a week, so it’s not really surprising he couldn’t make it through the entire game this week. He wasn’t cleared to play until [...]
