    Injuries to Watch: Week 11
    Quarterback
    Ben Roethlisberger, Steelers - Roethlisberger is not listed on the injury report, but he sat out parts of practice on Thursday with his elbow wrapped. He is expected to play on Sunday, but questions of a sore arm have definitely surfaced.

    Brett Favre, Vikings - Favre was limited on Thursday with groin problems and a hip injury but is expected to play on Sunday.

    Kyle Orton, Broncos - Orton missed practice on Thursday with Chris Simms taking the reps with the first-team. Orton is making progress, but his ankle injury is causing his status for Sunday to remain uncertain.

    Running Back

    Cedric Benson, Bengals - On Friday morning Benson said that his status still remained as a game-time decision. He hasn't practiced all week.

    Jamal Lewis, Browns - Lewis was limited again on Thursday with an ankle injury, but he is expected to play on Sunday. Keep an eye on Chris Jennings who has been performing well in practice and could start challenging Lewis for carries in the Brown backfield.

    Ahmad Bradshaw, Giants - Bradshaw practiced on Thursday, but on a limited basis. He will play on Sunday against Atlanta, but he'll likely see his touches reduced as Danny Ware will be in on passing downs.

    Reggie Bush, Saints - Bush has had swelling in his left knee all week and hasn't practiced. The Saints are hoping that he'll be able to practice on Friday. Bush is questionable for Week 11 against Tampa Bay.

    Clinton Portis, Redskins - Portis has been ruled out for Week 11. He still hasn't recovered from his concussion.

    Correll Buckhalter, Broncos - Buckhalter was limited on Wednesday but did not practice at all on Thursday due to a knee injury. He is questionable for Sunday's games against San Diego.

    Michael Turner, Falcons - Turner did not practice on Thursday, but still hasn't been ruled out for Sunday against the Giants.

    Jerious Norwood, Falcons - Norwood was working out on one of the side-fields during practice on Thursday. His status for Sunday is unknown, but if he does play it likely won't be to carry a full workload.

    Wide Receiver

    Anthony Gonzalez, Colts - Still not fully recovered from arthroscopic knee surgery, Gonzalez will miss, at least, two more starts. He's been ruled out for Week 11.

    Mike Wallace, Steelers - Wallace was sick on Wednesday, missing practice. He returned on Thursday and is expected to play on Sunday against a weak Chiefs secondary.

    Joshua Cribbs, Browns - Cribbs returned to practice on Thursday from a neck injury, but he was limited. He should play on Sunday, but is only valuable in leagues that award points for return yardage.

    Roddy White, Falcons - White practiced on Thursday, but was limited. He'll play on Sunday against the Giants.

    Lance Moore, Saints - Moore hasn't practiced since Week 8 with his high-ankle sprain and may not play on Sunday against the Buccaneers. Robert Meachem will see the extra touches if Moore cannot go.

    Justin Gage, Titans - Gage did not practice on Thursday with a bad back and is not expected to play on Monday.

    Bernard Berrian, Vikings - Berrian was limited in practice on Thursday with a hamstring injury. He is expected to play on Sunday though.

    Steve Breaston, Cardinals - Breaston was limited on Thursday with a sire knee but is expected to play on Sunday.

    Jacoby Jones, Texans - Jones has a calf injury and was very limited in practice on Thursday. He is listed as day-to-day and has an extra 24 hours to heal as the Texans play on Monday night.

    Tight End

    Todd Heap, Ravens - Heap did not practice on Wednesday or Thursday due to a chest injury he sustained on Monday night. The coaching staff still feels like Heap will be able to play on Sunday.

    Individual Defensive Player

    Troy Polamalu, Steelers - Polamalu hasn't practiced all week because of his knee injury and has been ruled out for their Week 11 game against Kansas City.
