Busted, Bruised and Broken

By David Kaye, Fantasy Football Insiders

AFC Injury Report
Indianapolis Colts tight end Ben Utecht (sprained ankle) sustained the injury in last Thursday's victory over the woeful Falcons. Utecht is probable for this week's game against the Jaguars.

Jacksonville Jaguars tight end George Wrighster (leg) is questionable for Sunday's game at Indianapolis.

NFC Injury Report
New York Giants linebacker Antonio Pierce (ankle) suffered the injury during Sunday's debilitating home loss to the Vikings. He is currently listed as probable for this week's match-up at Chicago.

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Donovan McNabb (ankle and thumb) sat out last week's loss to New England and is questionable for this week's game against the Seahawks. According to head coach Andy Reid, McNabb must be 100 percent healthy before he'll decide to play him.

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Patrick Crayton (ankle) did not practice Sunday and sat out last week's blowout win over the woeful Jets. Crayton is questionable for Thursday's showdown against the 10-1 Packers.

Minnesota Vikings standout rookie running back Adrian Peterson (knee) is expected to return this week against the fading (they’ve lost 2 in a row) Lions after missing the previous two games. Head coach Brad Childress plans on bringing Peterson back into the offense slowly by having him split carries with veteran Chester Taylor.

Wide receiver Troy Williamson (head) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against Detroit. Williamson has struggled as a big deep threat for the Vikings this season, with just 13 receptions for 201 yards in nine games.

Chicago Bears running back Cedric Benson (lower leg) will miss the remainder of the season after it was discovered that he'll require season-ending surgery. In his absence, backup Adrian Peterson will serve as the starter--acquire him if possible.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Jeff Garcia (back) left last week's win over the Redskins after theteam's first offensive series. Garcia is listed as day-to-day and his status for Sunday's game against New Orleans is currently uncertain.

Running back Michael Pittman (ankle) is questionablefor this week's game against the Saints.

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver D. J. Hackett (right ankle) is questionable for Sunday's game atPhiladelphia after re-injuring his ankle in lastweek's win over the divisional rival Rams. Hackett missed six games earlier in the season with a bum ankle.

St. Louis Rams quarterback Marc Bulger (concussion) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Falcons.

Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kurt Warner (elbow, ribs) is probable for Sunday's game against the upstart Browns.
