Also, use Gregg’s updated rankings and Evan’s matchup column for help with lineup decisions.
BRONCOS at RAVENS
- Joe Flacco (ankle) is a little sore but shouldn’t be limited in any way.
TEXANS at BILLS
- Andre Johnson’s reputation as a really tough player grows this week as he’ll play through a lung bruise.
- Shawn Nelson (concussion) is out.
- Trent Edwards (concussion) has been medically cleared but is out.
BROWNS at BEARS
- Phil Dawson (calf) is finally listed as probable.
- Adrian Peterson (knee) is back but is the No. 3 RB.
RAMS at LIONS
*** Calvin Johnson (knee) is a full blown game-time decision. Impossible to even guess right now if he’ll go.
- Matthew Stafford (knee) is expected to start despite being listed as questionable.
- Donnie Avery (shoulder) is nicked up all over but will start.
SEAHAWKS at COWBOYS
- Matt Hasselbeck (ribs) rested a little this week but is fine.
VIKINGS at PACKERS
- Percy Harvin (illness) is questionable but is fully expected to start.
*** Bernard Berrian (hamstring) practiced on a limited basis Friday and is a game-time decision. He’s not a strong play even if he suits up.
- Jermichael Finley (knee) almost certainly will not play. Donald Lee should get the majority of snaps.
49ERS at COLTS
*** Reggie Wayne (groin) practiced Friday, making him a likely to play. But he’s still a game-time decision.
- Donald Brown (shoulder) will almost certainly miss the game. Joseph Addai gets a big boost.
- Anthony Gonzalez (knee) is still out.
DOLPHINS at JETS
- David Clowney (ankle) is expected to play but should be benched with Jerricho Cotchery back.
- Jerricho Cotchery (hamstring) is listed as questionable but is fully expected to play.
RAIDERS at CHARGERS
- Chaz Schilens (foot) is still not ready to return.
JAGUARS at TITANS
- Javon Ringer (back) will not play.
- Nate Washington (quad) will start in a great matchup, but can Vince Young get him the ball?
PANTHERS at CARDINALS
- Muhsin Muhammad (knee) will not play, giving Dwayne Jarrett an opportunity.
- Dante Rosario (knee) will not play.
- Jonathan Stewart (heel) is listed as questionable but will play in a tough matchup.
- Anquan Boldin (ankle) practiced on a limited basis every day this week and is expected to play.
GIANTS at EAGLES
*** Brian Westbrook (concussion) still hasn’t been ruled out but isn’t expected to play. It will almost certainly be the LeSean McCoy show.
*** Mario Manningham (shoulder) says he’ll play but is a game-time decision.
- DeSean Jackson (foot) missed a little practice time but he was never in doubt.
- Ahmad Bradshaw (ankle) is risking a serious injury by playing, but he’ll go.
FALCONS at SAINTS
*** Jason Snelling (hamstring) didn’t practice this week and is questionable. He’s not an option.
- Jerious Norwood (hip) is questionable and also not an option.

First comment- crossing my fingers that Calvin doesn't play for my opponent

Westbrook was never a consideration to play this week. Andy Reid is just trying to give the opposition something to think about. He's not playing. What a joke! If he were to get another concussion, that could take him out for several weeks. The Eagles aren't that stupid.

I won't be playing fellas. This might be it for me. Don't worry though, I'll be bigger, stronger, and faster next season.
