Week 10: Injury Ward

QB:


Chad Henne / Chad Pennington - The flying Chads both suffered injuries this week.  Henne might return shortly after it was determined that his knee injury is not severe, but Pennington is done for the season, and likely for his career with another throwing shoulder injury.  Tyler Thigpen will start in week 11.

Brett Favre - Add shoulder to his growing list of ailments, but it seems like he'll play without any issues.

Kerry Collins - Collins suffered a calf injury, and he might miss some time.  Vince Young will likely be healthy in week 11 and should keep the job the rest of the season, barring injury.

WR:

Percy Harvin - Harvin suffered another ankle injury, but given he finished the game, it seems likely that he'll play this week.  Still, you should keep an eye on his practice schedule and ensure he's active in week 11.

Hines Ward - Ward was knocked out of Sunday night's game with a concussion, although given his spirits after the game, it seems unlikely that he'll miss week 11, but much like Harvin, keep an eye on the usual outlets and ensure he's ready this week before using him.

Jerricho Cotchery - I have no idea who'd be using him at this point in the season, but he's likely going to miss at least one week with a groin injury.  His absence will be good news for both Edwards and Holmes who figure to be targeted more often.

TE:

Jacob Tamme - Tamme suffered a back injury and "could barely walk" after the game, so his status is worth monitoring this week.  He's been an excellent addition to all fantasy teams and will hopefully suit up this week, but keep an eye on practice reports.

K:

Mike Nugent - What's with the kicker injuries the last two weeks?  Nugent will miss at least this week, and he'll likely miss the season with a knee injury.  Nugent was kicked well this year, but you'll have to find someone else for the rest of the year.
