Week 1 Injury Report

 

WR Larry Fitzgerald

Fitz has practiced all week and is going to play this Sunday despite his probable listing.

RB Fred Jackson

Jackson’s listed as questionable, but hasn’t missed any practice time so he should be in the game as a backup to CJ Spiller this week, but with the way Spiller has been running this preseason and with Jackson’s broken hand and Marshawn Lynch to contend with, Jackson doesn’t have a good chance to put up big points.

RB Jonathan Stewart

Stewart is going to play this week despite his probable listing and should be 100% this week.

WR Steve Smith

Carolina’s Steve Smith will play this week after missing most of the preseason and training camp with a broken arm.

TE Owen Daniels

Gary Kubiak says Daniels will play this week, but may not start and probably won’t get more than a third of the team’s snaps. Don’t start him this week.

 

RB Maurice Jones Drew

MJD is insisting he’s not injured so feel free to play him this week. No need to keep your first round pick out of the lineup.

WR Brandon Marshall

His ankle injury is not believed to be serious after he practiced in full Friday and he is expected to be good to go for the Dolphins game against the Bills.

QB Tom Brady, WR Randy Moss

Belicheck always lists them as probable to mess with people. They’ll play. Don’t fall for it.

RB Laurence Maroney

Maroney is nursing thigh and groin injuries and is listed as questionable, though ESPN’s John Clayton does not believe he will play. Don’t start him as even if he does play, he’s probably the #2 back at least to Fred Taylor.

RB Michael Bush

Bush is a game time decision with his broken hand, but may lose some carries to Darren McFadden even if he does play. There are better options than him this week, but he could still have a decent game if he does play and get 15-20 carries.

WR Chaz Schilens

Schilens has a bad knee and is out for at least this week.

QB Donovan McNabb

McNabb has practiced all week, but is still listed as questionable and admits his ankle is still not 100% so I doubt he’ll have that great of a game. You may want to consider your backup if McNabb is your QB1.
