Indianapolis receiving corps in shambles

Even though the Indianapolis Colts have a bye week, they've been experiencing major problems in their receiving corps. Tight end Dallas Clark had wrist surgery this week and has been placed on injured reserve. Wide receiver Austin Collie is also having arm and shoulder problems and could miss the next few games. That makes Pierre Garcon relevant again. Even Anthony Gonzalez could re-emerge as a decent player if  Collie misses any significant time.


New York Giants wideout Hakeem Nicks (hamstring) was limited in practice Saturday and is questionable for Week 7. He will likely be a game-time decision.

Dallas receiver Dez Bryant (ankle) practiced Saturday and is considered probable for this weekend.

Jacksonville quarterback David Garrard (concussion) has been ruled out for Week 7 but is expected to be cleared to play in Week 8 against Dallas. Todd Bouman could get the start this weekend if Trent Edwards' badly-sprained thumb keeps him from playing.

Tennessee quarterback Vince Young (knee, ankle) remains questionable for Sunday. Head coach Jeff Fisher said it will come down to how mobile he is before game time.

San Diego tight end Antonio Gates (toe) will be a game-time decision Sunday. If he can't go, Randy McMichael will get the start. Two other Chargers' receivers, Malcolm Floyd (hamstring) and Legedu Naanee (hamstring) are listed as doubtful for Sunday. Charters' kicker Nate Kaeding (groin) had already been ruled out for Week 7.

San Francisco tight end Vernon Davis (knee) participated in practice Friday and is probable for Week 7.

Oakland running back Darren McFadden (hamstring) will again be a game-time decision this week. Teammate Bruce Gradkowski (shoulder) is already listed as out, giving the start to quarterback Jason Campbell.

Jaguars wide receiver Mike Sims-Walker (shoulder) practiced in full on Friday and is listed as probable for Week 7.

Philadelphia wideout DeSean Jackson (concussion) will not play this weekend. His status for the following week is unknown. Teammate Brent Celek (wrist), a tight end, is listed as probable. Quarterback Michael Vick (ribs) will suit up but will not get the start.

Cleveland tight end Benjamin Watson (ankle), running back Payton Hillis (thigh) and wideout Joshua Cribbs (concussion) are all probable for Sunday.

Denver wide receiver Eddie Royal (groin) was limited in practice Friday and will be a game-time decision.

Carolina Panthers receiver Steve Smith (ankle) practiced Friday and is probable for Week 7.
