Peterson a go, but where will he play?

Minnesota running back Adrian Peterson says his ankle is feeling much better and he will definitely play in Week 14. The only question is, where and when will the game be played. The matchup with the Giants was originally moved to Monday night the visitors were stranded in Kansas City, but now the Metrodome room has collapsed under heavy snow. The status of the game is up in the unknown.
The news is not so good for wide receiver Percy Harvin (migraines). He was unable to practice Friday and is listed as doubtful. Running back Toby Gerhart (hamstring) did practice Friday and should play.

San Diego tight end Antonio Gates (foot) will be limited in today's game if he plays at all. He is listed as questionable. Teammate Vincent Jackson (neck) is also listed as questionable at wide receiver but is expected to play.

Atlanta tight end Tony Gonzales (ankle) and wide receiver Roddy White (knee) are probable for Week 14 and are expected to play. Running back Jason Snelling (hamstring) is not likely to play.


Seattle wide receivers Ben Obomanu (hand) and Mike X. Williams (foot, ankle) will be game-time decisions. Tight end John Carlson (hip) is probable and should play.

Tampa Bay tight end Kellen Winslow (knee) and wide receiver Mike Williams (knee) fully participated in practice Friday and should play in Week 14.

Pittsburgh tight end Heath Miller (concussion) has been ruled out for this weekend.

 Jacksonville wide receiver Mike Sims-Walker (ankle) is probable and will play.

Kansas City quarterback Matt Cassel (illness) did not practice Friday and is considered doubtful for today.

Detroit Lions wideout Nate Burleson (hamstring) was a full participant in practice Friday and listed as probable. He should play with few limitations. Fellow wideout Calvin Johnson (groin) and running back Jahvid Best (toe) are also expected to play.

New Orleans running back Pierre Thomas (ankle) should finally get back on the field this weekend. He is probable and will likely play.


Baltimore tight end Todd Heap (hamstring) is listed as doubtful for today's game but it not likely to play. Ed Dickson will replace him in the lineup and could be a decent play this weekend.


Miami wide receiver Brian Hartline (finger) is out for Week 14 but wide receiver Brandon Marshall (hamstring) might could return to the lineup. Marshall is questionable but it expected to play.

Week 13 post-game inury update

Two big-name quarterbacks -- Pittsburgh's Ben Roethlisberger and Minnesota's Brett Favre -- suffered injuries Sunday and their status is being evaluated. Roethlisberger is having surgery on his nose this week but is expected to play in Week 14. Favre has a sprained right shoulder and is considered day-to-day.

Minnesota running back Toby Gerhart strained his hamstring Sunday but it is not considered serious. San Diego running back Darren Sproels suffered a concussion and is being evaluate this week.

Dallas Cowboys receiver Dez Bryant broke his fibula Sunday and underwent season-ending surgery on Monday.

Seattle wideout Mike X. Williams sustained an ankle injury Sunday to go along with his foot problems. He has already been ruled out for Week 14. Teammate Ben Obomanu had to have stitches in his hand Sunday after cutting it on a 27-yard reception. His official status for Week 14 is unknown but Obomanu says he'll be able to play.

San Diego wide receiver Lededu Naanee re-injured his hamstring that has bothered him since Oct. 10 and left Sunday's game early. His status is unknown.

Tight ends Jason Witten of Dallas and Tony Gonzales of Atlanta both sprained their ankles Sunday but both are expected to play in Week 14.

Baltimore tight end Todd Heap suffered a hamstring injury Sunday and is considered questionable for Week 14.

Pittsburgh tight end Heath Miller sustained a concussion against Baltimore and had to leave the game. The severity of the concussion will be determined this week.

Saints backfield may be crowded, uncertain

It's possible fantasy owners could experience a Pierre Thomas sighting this weekend. The New Orleans running back, who has been out for an extended period of time with an ankle sprain, may be able to return to the lineup in Week 13. Head coach Sean Payton said he'll make the decision on Sunday. Because of the uncertainty it's probably best to avoid all Saints' running backs this week but, if you have to play one, I would rank them 1--Chris Ivory, 2--Reggie Bush, 3--Pierre Thomas.

It sounds as if Seattle wide receiver Mike X. Williams (foot) could play Sunday and head coach Pete Carroll said he would not be limited. It's probably best to keep him sidelined until he actually has a game under his belt.

If you own San Francisco 49er placekicker Joe Nedney (knee) it's time to let him go. He apparently suffered a setback this week and the 49ers have signed Jeff Reed for at least Week 13 and probably longer.

San Diego receiver Malcolm Floyd (hamstring) went through a full practice Friday. He is listed as probable and, barring a setback, should play a lot on Sunday. With Vincent Jackson (calf) out, Floyd should be a decent play. The news out of San Diego is not so good for teammates Antonio Gates and Mike Tolbert. Gates (foot, toe) will be limited if he plays at all and Tolbert (hand) may have to split carries with Ryan Mathews.

Indianapolis wide out Reggie Wayne (knee) did not practice Friday and is listed as questionable. He is expected to play in Week 13. Teammate Austin Collie (concussion) is also questionable but is not expected to play and running back Mike Hart (ankle) will be a game-time decision.

.Dallas Cowboys running back Marion Barber III has officially been ruled out for Sunday.

It appears Minnesota's Adrian Peterson (ankle) and Percy Harvin (migraine) will both be game-time decisions. Back-up running back Toby Gerhart should get a decent amount of carries whether Peterson plays or not. There is no real back-up for Harvin.

Tennessee wide receiver Kenny Britt (hamstring) will not play Sunday but should be back in Week 14.

It's official in Detroit, Drew Stanton will be the starting quarterback in Week 13. both Matthew Stafford (shoulder) and Shaun Hill (finger) has been ruled out. Hill might be done for the season.

Pittsburgh quarterback Ben Roethlisberger has an injured foot and will be a game-time decision this week. If he can't play, Byron Leftwich would get the starting nod.

Jacksonville wideout Mike Sims-Walker (ankle) has officially been ruled out of the Week 13 game.

Jake Delhomme has been named the starting quarterback for Cleveland this weekend. Colt McCoy (ankle) has been ruled out with an ankle injury.
