News, Notes and Inactives (1 Viewer)

[Jene Bramel]

Here's a recap of the major news of the week and what we're watching today. Major inactives will be posted as they come in.

**Roy Williams should be back at SS for Cincinnati today. Chinedum Ndukwe may be inactive with a hamstring injury.

**Tavares Gooden will be active this week, but expect Dannell Ellerbee to get the bulk of the base defensive snaps. Jameel McClain may steal some time in both the base and the nickel.

**D'Qwell Jackson didn't practice Thursday or Friday and is doubtful to play. David Veikune should get the bulk of the work in his place, but Kaluka Maiava may also see snaps.

**Kawika Mitchell moves inside to MLB for Buffalo, with Ashlee Palmer moving into the lineup at OLB. Bryan Scott and Donte Whitner are also still out for the Bills.

**Mario Williams was able to get through a limited practice Friday but is questionable and a game-time decision today.

**Darnell Dockett was limited all week and is questionable.

**Gerald Alexander starts at safety again for Jacksonville. Sean Considine remains out with injury, but this job should be Alexander's when Considine returns.

**Patrick Kerney is questionable with a groin injury but is unlikely to play. Darryl Tapp should get more than his usual 60% of the snaps today.

**Craig Dahl is in for James Butler at SS for St. Louis again today.

**Jerod Mayo could be back for New England today. With Junior Seau also about to join the team, Gary Guyton's run as the main every-down ILB will be ending soon.

**Brian Dawkins is dinged with multiple injuries and questionable after only a limited Friday practice this week.

**Chase Blackburn moves over to WLB, likely in an every-down role, this week. Clint Sintim may see more rotational snaps at SLB with Danny Clark.

**DeAndre Levy is an every-down backer this week. Reports suggest that Julian Peterson could play some end this week and that Ernie Sims will see only spot duty.

**Gaines Adams is questionable with an ankle injury. He was limited most of the week in practice.

**Chris Harris should be back at SS for Carolina this week.

Word on Friday was that he was expected to play, but I've not seen any information about yesterday's practice outside the Cotchery news.

finnegan for Tennessee?

finnegan for Tennessee?

Nothing specific. Fisher said he was hopeful midweek, but Finnegan didn't practice Friday. I'd guess that he's more likely to be inactive than active, but that's just speculation.

any hometowners hear anything on talk shows or pre game stuff about mario williams beyond what jene and rotowire etc have? if some of us wait till houston's pre game decision it will be too late to put an east coast guy in. thanks

Thread on Mario Williams from earlier this week has some speculation.

 

[Jene Bramel]

Gaines Adams is active today.

 

[Jene Bramel]

Tanard Jackson will start at safety today, presumably for Will Allen, but observers are expecting the team to rotate all three safeties.

 

[Jene Bramel]

Both Roy Williams and Chinedum Ndukwe are active today. Williams will likely start.

 

[Jene Bramel]

D'Qwell Jackson reportedly active for the Browns.

 

[Jene Bramel]

No lineup changes at MLB in Philadelphia. Expect to see Trotter rotate in, but Gaither is still listed as the starting MLB in the pregame press release.

 

[Jene Bramel]

Tavares Gooden warming up with the first team defense according to Jamison Hensley on Twitter. Still interested to see how this works out today.

 

[Jene Bramel]

Jerod Mayo active today.

 

[Jene Bramel]

Despite being listed probable, Justin Durant is INACTIVE this afternoon.

 

[Chainz]

Who will get the start in the middle for Jax?

 

[Dismattle]

thanx for the heads up Jene (I had Roman Harper back till Durant was ruled out) I kinda wanted to pickup n play Champ Bailey but thought it might be for Finnegan

 

[Jene Bramel]

Brian Iwuh will start for Durant. Observers also suggesting that Daryl Smith might play OLB (in the 3-4) with Quentin Groves sliding down the depth chart earlier in the week.

Still working on Mario Williams.

 

[Jene Bramel]

Mario Williams is reportedly suited up for the Texans according to a tweet from texans.com. Can't get their link to load and have no other confirmation.

Why is Durant out?

NFL.com does not have Williams among their inactives. Sounds like he's active and starting. I'll add news when I find it.

(Rotoworld) Texans RE Mario Williams is active for Sunday's game against ArizonaAnalysis: He had been a game-time decision with a groin injury. The Texans' inactives are third QB Dan Orlovsky, S Nick Ferguson, TE Anthony Hill, C Antoine Caldwell, CB Antwaun Molden, DT Frank Okam, WR Glenn Martinez, and DT Deljuan Robinson.

 

[Jene Bramel]

Why is Durant out?

He was added to the injury report as limited in practice with a hip injury on Friday afternoon. He was listed probable and it didn't appear to be a story in the local media this weekend.Hard to know if it ended up being a bigger issue than expected of if there was a pregame setback during warmups.

Thanks Jene

 

[DeadhorseGM]

Are the Jaguars trying to kill me? First Sims-Walker, now Durant. I had time to sub in Marshall for MSW, but no one for Durant.

 

[LittlePhatty]

I totally missed the Durant news. Hard to take a zero there, but oh well.

 

[steelcityman]

thanks J-ville, Sims Walker and Durant, both be inactivated in the 3pm hour. Real nice. I guess I cant leave the house on Sundays now if I want to keep up with status changes. Nothing better than throwing 20-40 pts out the window.

I'm not involved in the Sunday AM/PM updates information releases. On the weekends I'm not working, I'll have this thread updated and post breaking news on Twitter (@JeneBramel). When I am working, Tony Borbely posts this thread and is usually available to post afternoon updates, too.

Thanks. I'll be sure to check this page regulary too. Thanks for all the great work.

Cortland Finnegan inactive for the Titans. Jevon Kearse also inactive, with William Hayes starting in his place.

ugh this killed me

 

[steelcityman]

Is Robert Mathis out tonight too? I noticed he wasnt on the starting lineup introductions. He has no stats at the half.

I saw Mathis ended up with 2 and 1.

I wish I would have found out about Durant in time, Tulloch would have been my only option, he had 9 and 2.

thats 20 pts in my league and would have enabled me to watch WWE tonight instead of MNF.

 

[Mr. Know-It-All]

Any updates on Griffin. Saw he was hurt on the opening kickoff and have seen no stats since then despite a listing that his return was probable. Can't watch the game - so anyone watching...what's the status?
