After a week of question marks for the Eagles offense, one thing was settled today as their starting running back Brian Westbrook will be inactive today against the Chiefs.  The wet conditions at Lincoln Financial Field likely …

As we mentioned on Friday, Dwayne Bowe was questionable for today’s game, however, though we thought he would make the start, he will be inactive today.
If you’re a Bowe owner and need a replacement, look …

The Eagles will be limping (literally and figuratively) into Sunday’s match-up at home against the hapless Chiefs, with injuries to Donovan McNabb (99% Out with Rib Injury), DeSean Jackson (Groin), and Brian Westbrook who all …

Seahawks’ starting Quarterback Matt Hasselbeck left today’s contest against the San Francisco 49ers this afternoon with an undisclosed rib injury.  If his ribs are confirmed to be broken, like Donovan McNabb, Hasselbeck could miss 2- …

The Buccaneers’ leading wide-out Antonio Bryant started last week against the Cowboys, catching two balls for 29 yards (one 30 yarder and one for a loss).  However, by the second half Bryant was hobbling on his surgically repaired left knee.

Though the Bucs’ head coach Raheem Morris refused to acknowledge that Bryant has an injury heading into Week Two, the 8-year veteran missed today’s walk through with the team.

Expect Wide Receivers

Good luck trying to decipher the “leaks” out of Patriots’ camp when it comes to last season’s Defensive Rookie of the Year.  Jerod Mayo, the Patriots leading tacker in 2008 suffered an MCL sprain in his right knee Monday night against the Buffalo Bills.

Patriots’ camp doesn’t deny that it’s a Type III sprain, that could conceivably shelve the IDP-star for up to 8 weeks.   However, I would expect Mayo to rejoin the

Brian Urlacher owners suffered the first fantasy-related season ending injury of 2009, after the Bears’ defensive leader dislocated his right wrist during last night’s loss against the Packers.

If you are an Urlacher owner or in need a MLB, Hunter Hillenmeyer replaced Urlacher last night and may be a safe pick-up, however ESPN’s Adam Schefter is reporting that former Buccaneer LB Derrick Brooks is in discussions to join the Bears

I missed both games en route to Las Vegas this afternoon, but according to Mike Florio at ProFootballTalk Donovan McNabb, who suffered a broken rib against the Panthers today, will miss the Eagles second game of the season against the Saints.

The challenge for the Eagles will be who will start in McNabb’s absence since Vick is ineligible to return until Week Three, and last year’s back-up A.J. Feeley was released

James Davis, a 6th round rookie sleeper out of Clemson ready to “make good” for the Browns this season at tailback, was involved in a one car automobile crash yesterday that may impact his ability …

Steelers inside linebacker Lawrence Timmons will likely miss the season opener Thursday night at home against the Titans.

Fantasy owners have been relatively fortunate during this pre-season, avoiding the devastating injury that destroys fantasy seasons before they start.

It appears that tonight Fantasy Football GM’s dodged another bullet when Top-3 Fantasy RB Maurice Jones-Drew left the Jaguars final pre-season game tonight with a “bruised right leg”, after 6 touches for 17 yards in the opening series of the game.

Unbelievably, today is the last day of August, and come Labor Day, the closing chapter on yet another summer.

For many of you, your annual Fantasy draft has completed, leaving you to sit around watching your top picks during exhibition, holding your breath hoping to avoid catastrophic injuries for the remainder of the pre-season.

For Matt Cassel fans, though it’s not quite catastrophe, there is bad…

Pro Football Talk’s Mike Florio may have jumped the gun on Roy Williams’ apparent Collarbone fracture, but until an MRI confirms the X-rays’ initial diagnosis, it’s a safebet to stay away from Williams.

In case you missed the story, Cowboys receiver Roy Williams collided with cornerback Orlando Scandrick during Cowboys’ “padless” practice on Thursday night.

If, in fact, it appears there is a break of some kind, it…

The boss is in Italy, and he still beats me to a post. What supreme dedication!

Adding to Michael Caprio’s post, star linebackers Jon Beason (Carolina) and Kirk Morrison (Oakland) both sustained injuries during their second pre-season game.

The early word is that Beason owners have avoided disaster. He is expected to be sidelined for a few weeks with a sprained MCL. However, it’s hasn’t been…

The Raiders’ leading tackler, middle linebacker Kirk Morrison, dislocated his left elbow in the first quarter pre-season contest at home last night against the 49ers.

From the insult/inujry department,  not only did the Raiders’ make rookie 3rd round running back Glen Coffee look like Walter Payton (100 yards on 8 carries), they will lose their leading run stopper for at least 3 weeks—making him questionable for the…

Don’t you just love pre-season?

In this case, the season-ending injury to Giants’ rookie running back Andre Brown was suffered on the practice field in Albany last night.  Big Blue’s 4th round pick out of NC State apparently suffered the injury while attempting to bring down a pass with Linebacker Gerris Wilkinson in coverage.

Immediately Brown fell to the ground and was carted off the field.

The injury…
