NFL Injury Report
Here is last minute and late breaking NFL injury information for NFL lock picks and fantasy football players.
The Dallas Cowboys get QB Tony Romo back against a Redskins team that will likely not have RB Clinton Portis at 100 percent. Carson Palmer of course remains out for the Bengals. The Houston Texans start QB Sage Rosenfels again versus the Indianapolis Colts.
This may not be good news for the Raiders, but it looks like their erratic and pathetic starting QB JaMarcus Russell will play reports Brian Gould of ScoresOddsPicks.com. Teammate Darren McFadden is questionable.
Dante Culpepper and Drew Stanton share time at QB for the Detroit Lions.
As far as running backs, Steven Jackson is out for the Rams and fellow oft injured running back Brian Westbrook of the Eagles gets the start to the Cincinnati Bengals. The Saints again must do without RB Reggie Bush.
The Colts will have banged up WRs Reggie Wayne and Anthony Gonzalez. Seattle Seahawks will actually be as healthy as they’ve been all year with QB Matt Hasselbeck back and he should have wideouts Deion Branch, Bobby Engram and Koren Robinson.
The Jaguars Matt Jones is questionable. Who covers? GodsTips goes 7-2 in football yesterday including the ACC Game of the Year. We are 20-8 football Wise Guy plays and 20-9 NBA Wise Guy picks.
