It may be time to sit one of the best team's quarterbacks as the Broncos' Kyle Orton is likely to be out of this weekend's matchup with an injury.
Quarterbacks
Another relatively healthy week for the quarterbacks, with a handful sporting the obligatory ?probable? tag that won't effect their status at all. The big name out of this group in Week 11 is Broncos QB Kyle Orton (ankle), who is questionable after not practicing all week. Chris Simms is expected to start in his place against the Chargers.
Running Backs
Falcons RB Michael Turner (ankle) is doubtful this week, but might as well be listed as out. With teammate Jerious Norwood (hip) questionable, look for Jason Snelling to carry the load against the Giants.
Bengals RB Cedric Benson (hip) is doubtful after missing practice all week. Bernard Scott will start against the Raiders.
Cowboys RB Marion Barber (thumb) is probable against the Redskins after full reps in practice all week.
Redskins RB Clinton Portis (concussion) has been ruled out. Teammate Ladell Betts (ankle) is probable and will start against the Cowboys.
Eagles RB Brian Westbrook (concussion) is out against Bears. He should be out for at least the next three weeks, and possibly longer. LeSean McCoy will be the featured back going forward. But Leonard Weaver will also see action on one-back sets.
Bucs RB Carnell Williams (knee) practiced fully Thursday and Friday and is probable against the Saints.
Seahawks RB Julius Jones (chest/lung) is out this week. Justin Forsett will get the start against the Vikings.
Browns RB Jamal Lewis (ankle) was limited in drills all week but should start against the Lions.
Saints RB Reggie Bush (knee) did not practice all week and is questionable against the Bucs. The Saints want him healthy for the playoffs, so expect him to be inactive.
Giants RB Ahmad Bradshaw (ankle, foot) is once again probable this week after limited reps in practice. Danny Ware, who is finally healthy, should cut into his third down role this weekend against the Falcons.
Wide Receivers
Falcons WR Roddy White (knee) is questionable after limited participation in drills this week. With teammate Michael Turner in doubt, look for White to be on the field against the Giants.
Broncos WR Brandon Marshall (back) practiced fully Thursday and Friday and is probable against the Chargers.
Vikings WR Bernard Berrian (hamstring) is questionable after being limited in practice all week. He'll be a game-time decision against the Seahawks.
Eagles WR Jeremy Maclin (foot, hand) saw full reps in practice all week and is probable. Teammate Kevin Curtis (knee) is out against the Chargers.
Colts WR Pierre Garcon (ankle) is questionable despite practicing fully Thursday and Friday. He should be on the field against the Ravens.
Bucs WR Antonio Bryant (knee) is probable after full reps in practice Thursday and Friday. He will start against the Saints.
Cardinals WR Steve Breaston (knee) saw limited reps all week and is probable against the Rams.
Saints WR Lance Moore (ankle) has been ruled out against the Bucs.
49ers WR Michael Crabtree (knee) is probable and will start against the Packers.
Bengals WR Laveranues Coles (head) returned to full practice Friday and is probable against the Raiders.
Browns WR Joshua Cribbs (neck) is questionable after limited work in practice Thursday and Friday. He'll be a game-time decision against the Lions.
Other Positions
Chargers TE Antonio Gates (foot) is probable after fully practicing late in the week and will start against the Broncos.
Bucs TE Kellen Winslow (knee) is listed as probable this week. He's a ?soldja,? so he'll start against the Saints.
Patriots TE Benjamin Watson (back) practiced fully all week and is probable against the Jets.
Colts K Adam Vinatieri (right knee) is out against the Ravens. Matt Stover again will handle the kicking duties.
Ravens TE Todd Heap (chest) is questionable against the Colts after not practicing all week.
Packers TE Jermichael Finley (knee) returned fully to practice this week and is probable against the 49ers.
