Busted, Bruised & Broken

By David Kaye, Fantasy Football Insiders

AFC Injury Report
New York Jets wide receiver Laveranues Coles (ankle) is not expected to play in Thursday's Thanksgiving showdown against the 9-1 Cowboys.

Buffalo Bills standout running back Marshawn Lynch (ankle) sat out Sunday's blowout loss to the undefeated Patriots and is listed as questionable for next week's game at Jacksonville. According to head coach Dick Jauron, Lynch has a ''substantial sprain and injury'' and it does not look likely that he'll be able to suit up for Sunday's game.

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver T.J. Houshmandzadeh (back) is probable for Sunday's game against Tennessee.

Pittsburgh Steelers electric wide receiver Santonio Holmes (sprained ankle) sustained the injury during Sunday's disparaging road loss to the woeful Jets and is questionable for Sunday night's game against the winless Dolphins.

Indianapolis Colts star wideout Marvin Harrison (knee) has not played in the past five games and it's highly unlikely that he'll participate in Thursday's game at Atlanta. Harrison has been an extreme disappoint this season, accumulating one touchdown and 247 yards receiving in five games.

Fellow wide receiver Anthony Gonzalez (hand) is probable for Thursday's game with the Falcons. Gonzalez has not played since a week nine loss to the Patriots.

Houston Texans tight end Owen Daniels (broken nose) is probable for Sunday's game against the upstart Browns.

Jacksonville Jaguars linebacker Mike Peterson (broken hand) will be out indefinitely and possibly the remainder of the season after sustaining this devastating injury in Sunday's victory over the Chargers. As the team's leader in tackles and a true force in the locker room, Peterson's loss will be a substantial blow to the Jags playoff aspirations.

Oakland Raiders rookie running back Michael Bush (knee) is expected to be activated from the physically unable to perform list later this week.

NFC Injury Report
New York Giants running back Brandon Jacobs (hamstring) left Sunday's win over the Lions in the third quarter with a pulled hamstring and is questionable for next week's game against the Vikings.

Another Giant, linebacker Mathias Kiwanuka (fractured fibula) will miss the rest of the season after undergoing surgery on his broken left leg Monday.

Philadelphia Eagles All-Pro quarterback Donovan McNabb (sprained right ankle) underwent an MRI Monday that revealed partial swelling and his status for Sunday's game against the unstoppable Patriots is still uncertain.

Green Bay Packers running back Ryan Grant (ankle sprain) is listed as day-to-day.

Minnesota Vikings star rookie running back Adrian Peterson (ankle) has not been ruled out for Sunday's matchup with the Giants, but it currently appears highly unlikely that the speedster will be able to suit up.
