11.AFC East | AFC North| AFC South | AFC West NFC East | NFC North | NFC South |
NFC WestAFC EASTBuffalo BillsRex Ryan says the Bills are healthier than theyve
been in a while, and hes right. DT Marcell Dareus, however, remains the biggest
injury question mark. He was limited in Wednesdays practice because of a groin
injury that kept him out of a Nov. 7 loss to Seattle. Signs are pointing to him
being available this Sunday in Cincinnati, though. -- Mike RodakMiami
DolphinsStarting left tackle Branden Albert is ruled out for Sundays game in Los
Angeles because of a wrist injury. Albert dislocated his left wrist and returned
to last weeks game with a cast, but Miami figured the long-term risk continuing
to play Albert, who is one of the teams most important offensive linemen, was
too much this week. -- James WalkerNew England PatriotsTom Brady (right quad)
said he should be ready for action, but one thing that bears monitoring is how
much he practices this week. Meanwhile, Rob Gronkowski (chest) took a big hit
from safety Earl Thomas and said the wind was knocked out of him, but that isnt
all, as he is injured and it could affect his status for Sundays game. It doesnt
get much bigger than those two players for the Patriots, who also have WR Chris
Hogan (back) on the injury report. Gronkowski was the only player not present at
Wednesdays practice.?-- Mike ReissNew York JetsThe Jets have a bye week to get
healthy. The headline injury is Ryan Fitzpatricks left-knee sprain, which kept
him on the bench last week. He looked fine Tuesday in practice, but Fitzpatrick
has said there could be stability issues. On Monday, Todd Bowles will announce
his QB decision: Fitzpatrick or Bryce Petty.?-- Rich CiminiAFC NORTHBaltimore
RavensCornerback Jimmy Smith missed Wednesdays practice because of a back
injury, but the Ravens dont seem too concerned. He should be out there Sunday,
Ravens coach John Harbaugh said. Baltimore plays the Cowboys on Sunday and will
rely on Smith to match up against Dez Bryant. Overall, it was a good day for the
Ravens, who watched four injured players (guard Marshal Yanda, linebackers Elvis
Dumervil and Kamalei Correa and cornerback Shareece Wright) return to practice.
-- Jamison HensleyCincinnati BengalsRey Maualuga (fibula) appeared at practice
for the first time since last week, but he was simply working off to the side.
That doesnt change their game plan much, as Maualugas playing time is dependent
on the game and has been sporadic. The Bengals also have to make a decision as
to whether they want to activate Brandon Thompson, who tore his ACL last season,
off the physically unable to perform list. -- Katherine TerrellCleveland
BrownsRobert Griffin III was cleared for non-contact work Wednesday, but the
Browns did not designate him to return, and he cant practice until they do. The
signs all point to Griffin returning -- if he can -- on Dec. 11 against
Cincinnati. That would give him two weeks plus a bye to get himself fully
healthy. -- Pat McManamonPittsburgh SteelersWith defensive end Cam Heyward out
for the season because of a pectoral injury, the Steelers could use former
first-round pick Bud Dupree to crack the lineup. Dupree is still on injured
reserve because of a groin injury but is practicing with the team. He wants to
play this week. Getting his game-ready explosion back is the final step, he
says. After the Steelers run-defense issues against Dallas, the group needs
support, and a few sacks. -- Jeremy FowlerAFC SOUTHHouston TexansNT Vince
Wilfork (groin), WR Will Fuller (leg) and CB A.J. Bouye (ankle) all practiced
Wednesday after missing Sundays game against the Jaguars. All three are
day-to-day, and because the Texans play Monday night, there was no injury report
Wednesday. RB Lamar Miller said his shoulder was feeling a lot better than it
did the past two games, but he still has been limited, playing less than he was
at the beginning of the season. On Sunday, he had 15 carries for 83 yards. --
Sarah BarshopIndianapolis ColtsThe Colts are dealing with some minor injuries
but nothing they didnt expect. In fact theyre on pace to have their entire
starting offensive unit for the first time since Week 1 against Tennessee on
Sunday. The only lingering question mark is guard Denzelle Good, who missed
practice Wednesday because of an illness. Continuity is great, having all the
playmakers that you have on the outside, all the skill positions available and
healthy certainly doesnt hurt, coach Chuck Pagano said. -- Mike
WellsJacksonville JaguarsThe Jaguars are surprisingly healthy considering how
late in the season it is. Several players have nagging injuries -- such as RT
Jermey Parnell (groin), LT Kelvin Beachum (knee) and WR Marqise Lee (ankle) --
but they are all expected to play against Detroit on Sunday. The Jaguars cant
use injuries as an excuse for being 2-7. ?-- Mike DiRoccoTennessee TitansThe
Titans remain exceptionally healthy. Only one player is on the injury report so
far this week. And Wednesdays off might be the way things go for DeMarco Murray
the rest of the way. The Titans havent had their bye yet, and while Mike
Mularkey said Monday that Murrays toe was better the day after the game than it
was the week before, the team is being cautious with the player who gets the
most touches on offense. -- Paul KuharskyAFC WESTDenver BroncosThe Broncos are
on their bye and one player who could certainly use that rest is QB Trevor
Siemian. Siemian has missed one start, then played with a left shoulder injury
he suffered in the teams Week 4 win in Tampa. He was battered last Sunday in the
win over New Orleans, having been sacked six times and hit another 11 times in
the pocket. He received an injection in his non-throwing shoulder before
adjourning for the bye, as the team hoped the injury would settle down a bit
during the time off. He was also held out of most of Tuesdays practice to give
him a break from throwing. Siemian said, just before the team left for the days
off that the rest will be good, but Ill be ready to go when we come back. --
Jeff LegwoldKansas City ChiefsCB Marcus Peters didnt practice Wednesday because
of a hip pointer, but the Chiefs dont appear concerned he will miss Sundays game
against the Buccaneers. Peters was injured in Sundays win over Carolina. After
missing a couple of snaps, Peters not only finished the game but made one of the
biggest plays by forcing and recovering a fumble in the final minute to set up
the winning field goal. -- Adam TeicherOakland RaidersThe Raiders returned from
their bye Wednesday with a light walkthrough given that they are essentially a
day behind with a Monday Night Football affair in Mexico City against the Texans
up next. As such, there were no updates on the injured duo of DT Stacy McGee,
who has missed the past two games because of a hurt ankle, and CB Sean Smith,
who sat out Oaklands most recent game because of a shoulder issue. Thursdays
practice should tell more of the tale. -- Paul GutierrezSan Diego ChargersThe
Chargers could use a boost to the passing game from receiver Travis Benjamin,
who has been dealing with a sprained right knee he suffered late in the game
against the Raiders in Week 5. Benjamin played only seven snaps two weeks ago
against the Titans, and sat out San Diegos loss to the Dolphins last week. The
Chargers hope with another seven days rest during the bye week that Benjamin can
return to the field for a Week 12 contest against the Texans. -- Eric D.
WilliamsNFC EASTDallas CowboysThe Cowboys are at the point in the season when
its about maintenance. Tyron Smith has back and hip flexor injuries he is
playing through. Doug Free has had leg issues. DeMarcus Lawrence has back and
shoulder issues. The Cowboys want to make sure those players are ready for game
day, if not a practice. Because they have played a lot of games, the Cowboys are
confident they will be able to handle limited practice work and still be able to
play effectively. Safety Barry Church has started doing resistance training in
his rehab from forearm surgery. -- Todd ArcherNew York GiantsWR Victor Cruz is
trying to make it back after missing Monday nights win over the Bengals because
of an ankle injury. Cruz was listed as a limited participant in practice
Wednesday, but barring a setback, should be able to play Sunday against the
Bears. The Giants missed him against the Bengals as rookie Roger Lewis struggled
in his place. Cruz is unlikely to return in a full-time role this weekend, but
he would be a welcome addition to the rotation. -- Jordan RaananPhiladelphia
EaglesTE Zach Ertz was limited in practice Wednesday because of a hamstring
injury. With 14 catches for 152 yards over his past two games, Ertz has been a
bigger factor in the offense of late. This is a key injury to watch in front of
Sundays game against Seattle. Starting CB Nolan Carroll remains in concussion
protocol. Fellow corner Leodis McKelvin says hell play despite a hamstring
injury. -- Tim McManusWashington RedskinsWR DeSean Jackson was limited Wednesday
because of a rotator cuff injury in his left shoulder. Thats a good sign, but
Redskins coach Jay Gruden said they still have no idea if Jackson will be
available for Sundays game against Green Bay. Jackson did not play last week but
also never attempted to practice. The Redskins want to make sure his range of
motion has fully returned and that, because they play again four days later, he
wont hurt himself worse. At one point this appeared to be a two-week injury, but
there is a level of hope. How much so, though, remains to be seen. -- John
KeimNFC NORTHChicago BearsThe Bears finally got some good news, as RB Jordan
Howards name did not appear on Wednesdays injury report. Coach John Fox said
after Chicagos 36-10 loss to Tampa that Howard suffered either an ankle or
Achilles injury. But Howard practiced without restrictions Wednesday, meaning he
should start Sunday in New York. NT Eddie Goldman (ankle) and RT Bobby Massie
(concussion) were among the players to sit out. Fox hinted Massie could be back
soon, but defensive coordinator Vic Fangio said Goldman had a setback versus the
Bucs. Goldman missed six weeks this year because of a high ankle sprain. -- Jeff
DickersonDetroit LionsDeAndre Levy (knee) returned to practice Wednesday for the
first time since Week 1, but practicing and playing in a game are two different
things. Detroit has typically been conservative when players are coming back
from injuries, so his practice level will be monitored throughout the week.
This, though, is a good sign the Lions will have their best linebacker -- and
their top coverage linebacker -- back for their attempted run at the playoffs.
Detroit is pretty healthy overall as the bye gave players time to rest. --
Michael RothsteinGreen Bay PackersClay Matthews has been down this road before:
less than two weeks ago, he returned to practice and proclaimed himself ready to
play, only to experience a setback with his hamstring injury. The Pro Bowl
outside linebacker was back on the practice field Wednesday, but until he makes
it through an entire week without a problem, it wont be safe to assume hell
return. The concern on the other side of the ball is with the offensive line,
where LT David Bakhtiari (knee) and RG T.J. Lang (ankle) couldnt finish last
Sundays game. Bakhtiari practiced with a brace on his right knee Wednesday, but
Lang was not on the field. -- Rob DemovskyMinnesota VikingsCaptain Munnerlyn
(ankle) missed last Sundays game because of an ankle injury, and the Vikings got
a reminder of how much they need their nickel cornerback in a loss to the
Redskins. Munnerlyn wasnt able to practice Wednesday, and given how many ways
the Cardinals can attack Minnesotas defense, the Vikings will hope Munnerlyn is
able to return for Sundays game at U.S. Bank Stadium. He did some work in
practice last Friday, and was working on the side with members of the Vikings
training staff on Wednesday. -- Ben GoesslingNFC SOUTHAtlanta FalconsThe timing
for the return of Pro Bowl CB Desmond Trufant remains up in the air as Trufant
continues to recover from a shoulder/pectoral injury. Falcons coach Dan Quinn
says he firmly expects Trufant back this season despite the alarming pectoral
aspect related to the injury. In fact, Quinn is hopeful Trufant will return to
practice next week after the bye in preparation for the Falcons next game
against Arizona on Nov. 27. If Trufant remains sidelined, second-year player
Jalen Collins will continue to receive increased time as the starter. -- Vaughn
McClureCarolina PanthersCenter Ryan Kalil is listed as questionable for Thursday
nights game against New Orleans, but coach Ron Rivera called it a good
questionable. In other words, Kalil will start after missing the past two games
because of a shoulder injury. Thats good news for QB Cam Newton, who took two
sacks and threw a pick-six on Sunday because of pressure up the middle due to
miscommunication. Thats also good for the running game that has struggled
without the five-time Pro Bowler. As Newton said, Kalil is his hidden jewel. --
David NewtonNew Orleans SaintsCB Delvin Breaux is questionable after missing
practice this week. Its unclear if he suffered a setback after returning two
weeks ago from a broken fibula, or if the Saints are just giving him extra rest
on a short week. But it would be a big blow if he is out or limited on Thursday
night, since hes their best and most physical cornerback -- their best bet to
match up against physical Panthers WR Kelvin Benjamin. -- Mike TriplettTampa Bay
BuccaneersCenter Joe Hawley missed last weeks game because of a knee injury, and
his replacement, Evan Smith, could be out multiple weeks because of a Grade 2
MCL sprain. Offensive coordinator Todd Monken said Wednesday that he was hopeful
Hawley could play. Last week, Ben Gottschalk, who got his first time in an NFL
game, had to take over for Smith. Gottschalk hadnt snapped the ball to QB Jameis
Winston since training camp last year. Going into such a hostile place like
Arrowhead Stadium, where nonverbal communication is imperative for Winston and
his offensive line, they really need Hawley back. -- Jenna LaineNFC WESTArizona
CardinalsTheres really no way WR Larry Fitzgerald would miss Sundays game in
Minnesota despite being sore with ankle and knee injuries. But no one should be
surprised if Fitzgerald plays through whatever pain hes in to have a monster
game. Thats just how he is. But other question marks will be S Deone Bucannon
(ankle) and DT Corey Peters (foot). -- Josh WeinfussLos Angeles RamsDE Robert
Quinn admitted himself to a local hospital Monday morning with a
non-football-related illness, and though he was back observing practice by
Tuesday, Quinns status for Sundays game against the Dolphins remains in
question. Quinn is the Rams best edge rusher, a man who can steal some of the
attention away from star defensive tackle Aaron Donald. The Rams could also be
without their main backup defensive end, Eugene Sims, who is going through the
concussion protocol. -- Alden GonzalezSan Francisco 49ersCB Rashard Robinson
made significant progress in his return from a sprained knee last week when he
returned to practice on a limited basis and was questionable for the game
against Arizona. Robinson even went through a light workout before that game. He
looks as if hes progressing toward getting back in this week, which would be
good for a 49ers secondary that was scorched for 376 yards by Carson Palmer last
week, and now faces Tom Brady & Co. this week. -- Nick WagonerSeattle
SeahawksRB Thomas Rawls (fibula) is expected to play Sunday for the first time
since Week 2. If he makes it through the week, hes going to play considerably
because hes in great shape, and hes ready to do that, Pete Carroll said. But
were not going to overplay him or try to take it too far too soon. The Seahawks
will most likely ease Rawls back in. Expect C.J. Prosise to lead the team in
touches against the Eagles, but Rawls should be in the mix. And the coaches are
hoping the tandem can lead the run game down the stretch. -- Sheil Kapadia

the Canucks blanked the St. Louis Blues 1-0 in the first post-Olympic game for
both teams night. CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- The Carolina Panthers filled arguably the
biggest hole on their roster Monday by acquiring three-time Pro Bowl punter Andy
Lee in a trade with the Cleveland Browns.The Panthers gave up a 2018
fourth-round pick and punter Kasey Redfern in exchange for Lee and a 2017
seventh-round pick.The defending NFC champions had hoped veteran Mike Scifres
would fill the void left by Brad Nortman, who signed with Jacksonville in free
agency. However, Scifres, the former Chargers punter, injured his kicking
(right) knee in Fridays preseason game when a New England player ran into him on
his first punt of the preseason.The Panthers had been trying to hold Scifres out
as he rehabbed offseason surgery on his left knee.The Browns traded Lee three
days after coach Hue Jackson jumped the 13-year veteran on the sideline for a
lack of effort on trying to stop a return that went 73 yards for a touchdown.[It
was] his pursuit. Lets be very honest, Jackson said after the game. Were out
there to play. If theres another guy that has the ball, your job is to go get
it. The second time [on a long return] he did that, so that was
improvement.Thats something to build on. The first time he understood in his
conversation with me thats not how we pursue it, and he made amends for that. So
on we go.On Monday, the Browns moved on from Lee. And the Panthers found a huge
missing piece to a puzzle they hope will resullt in a second straight trip to
the Super Bowl.dddddddddddd.Lee ranks sixth in the NFL all time in gross punting
average (46.2 yards), eighth all time in net average (39.5) and ninth all time
for punts inside the 20 (325).He set Browns single-season records with a
46.7-yard gross average and 40.1-yard net average in 2015.In 2011, Lee recorded
the NFLs second-best single-season net punting average (44.0). In 2007, he had
42 punts inside the 20, tied for third-best season in NFL history.Lee also has
ties to the Carolinas, growing up in Westminster, South Carolina, before playing
collegiately at Pittsburgh.Lees current contract runs through 2018. He has a
salary cap figure of $2,833,000 in 2016, $3,433,000 in 2017 and $4,134,000 in
2018.One of the reasons the Panthers didnt keep Nortman was they didnt want to
compete with the four-year, $8.8 million deal he received from Jacksonville.
That deal has a cap number of $2.15 million in 2016.Carolina also wanted to
become more efficient at directional punting. Nortman sometimes outkicked the
coverage.The Panthers did not indicate what would happen to Scifres, who
attended Mondays practice but did not work out. An injury settlement is a
possibility with four more moves needed to reduce the roster to 75 by 4 p.m. ET
on Tuesday. ' ' '
