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 [...]

Minnesota Vikings QB Tarvaris Jackson suffered a turf toe injury during Monday’s loss to the Giants and is uncertain to play this week against Chicago, according to Coach Leslie Frazier. Tests on Brett Favre’s shoulder reportedly came back pretty positive, so the team will hope he can go if Jackson is unable to play. Rookie [...]

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 [...]

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. [...]

Detroit Lions QB Matt Stafford made some short throws during Wednesday’s practice and is expected to return before the end of the season, barring setbacks.

Running back is probably the easiest position for a rookie to learn, so it’s [...]

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 [...]

Detroit Lions QB Shaun Hill will likely miss the next month with a broken right index finger, according to the Detroit Free Press. Hill could be shut down for the season with so few games remaining. The Lions’ #2 QB played through the injury during Thursday’s loss to New England, but he’s not expecting to [...]

The Green Bay Packers have signed CB Tramon Williams to a four-year $41.25 million extension through the 2014 season. Williams has played at an All-Pro level this season as a cover corner opposite Charles Woodson. With Darrelle Revis and Nnamdi Asomugha banged up this season, it wouldn’t be hard to argue Williams has been a [...]

Minnesota Vikings RB Adrian Peterson’s ankle injury is not expected to be serious, according to Profootballtalk.com. The website believes Peterson will be available to play this week, so it looks like Peterson has avoided the dreaded high-ankle sprain. Toby Gerhart will still be a worthwhile add this week, although it looks like he’ll have to [...]
