Packers QB Aaron Rodgers (calf) took limited practice reps Wednesday. Rodgers is fully expected to play against the Rams.
Titans QB Jake Locker (left shoulder) took limited practice reps Wednesday. Locker is not expected to play in Week 7. Matt Hasselbeck will get the start, and has a great matchup with the Bills.
Vikings QB Christian Ponder (knee) practiced fully Wednesday. Ponder played through the injury against the Redskins and is practicing fully. No worries here.
Browns QB Brandon Weeden (foot) practiced fully Wednesday. He's practicing fully, so this is probably nothing to worry about.
Giants RB Ahmad Bradshaw (foot) did not practice Wednesday. Bradshaw's chronic foot issue has cropped up again. Many will point to David Wilson is the obvious pick up, but Andre Brown (concussion) was cleared to practice fully today and when he was injured he was still ahead of Wilson on the depth chart. Bradshaw is expected to practice on Thursday. If he can't play in Week 7, we would expect some sort of a timeshare between Brown (assuming he's good to go) and Wilson, with Brown in the lead. Wilson only has 16 touches on the season compared to Brown's 44, so it's clear the coaching staff has more trust in Brown at this point. When trying to predict how the Giants will deal with injuries and the depth chart, remember that Domenik Hixon returned to his place in the depth chart ahead of Ramses Barden even though Barden had a terrific game in Week 3 (with Hixon sidelined).
Browns RB Trent Richardson (chest, rib) took limited practice reps Wednesday. According to HC Pat Shurmur, Richardson is “doing great,” so it appears that he's on track to play in Week 7. We will continue to monitor his practice activity throughout the week. For what it's worth, Richardson says he's pain free. Montario Hardesty is the best handcuff at this point.
Colts RB Donald Brown (knee) did not practice Wednesday. Vick Ballard will get another start, and hopefully he'll fare better than he did against the Jets. He gained 42 yards on 10 touches in Week 6. The Browns are #21 in adjusted points allowed to opposing running backs.
Texans RB Arian Foster (not injury related) took limited practice reps Wednesday. It's typical for Foster to get rest on Wednesdays. No worries here.
Cowboys RB DeMarco Murray (foot) did not practice Wednesday. Felix Jones is going to get the start and he should be a high-end RB2 against the Panthers' shaky rush defense. Carolina has given up the 4th-most points to opposing RBs this season.
Vikings RB Adrian Peterson (ankle) did not practice Wednesday. Peterson is just getting his usual rest.
Steelers RBs Rashard Mendenhall (achilles) and Isaac Redman (ankle) did not practice Wednesday. Redman hopes he can play in Week 7, but at this point his availability is looking pretty shaky. Mendenhall may also be out, but he's considered “day-to-day.” If neither player can play, then Baron Batch would get the bulk of the work.
Packers RB Alex Green (shoulder) took limited practice reps Wednesday. HC Mike McCarthy said that Green would carry a “full load,” so we're not too worried about the injury at this point. Green out-touched James Starks 23 to five in Week 6.
Jets RBs Joe McKnight (ankle) and Bilal Powell (shoulder) did not practice Wednesday. Neither player is expected to be available for Week 7. With both McKnight and Powell out, Jonathan Grimes will back up Shonn Greene, who is expected to carry a heavy load.
Patriots RB Brandon Bolden (knee) did not practice Wednesday. Bolden couldn't finish Sunday's game due to the knee injury and Danny Woodhead picked up the slack, gaining 71 yards on nine touches. Shane Vereen would also be in the mix if Bolden can't resume his role as the Patriots' RB2.
Texans RB Ben Tate (toe) took limited practice reps Wednesday. Tate only had three carries against the Packers, but looked healthy. He should be fine to play in Week 7.
Bengals RB Brian Leonard (ribs) did not practice Wednesday. Cedric Peerman would back up BenJarvus Green-Ellis if Leonard can't play.
Titans RB Javon Ringer (knee) did not practice Wednesday. Ringer has a torn MCL, so Jamie Harper is expected to be the primary backup to Chris Johnson.
Giants RB Da'Rel Scott (knee) did not practice Wednesday.
Giants WR Hakeem Nicks (foot, knee) took limited practice reps Wednesday. This is Nicks's first Wednesday practice of the season, so it's a very good sign that he's perhaps putting his injuries behind him.
Patriots WR Wes Welker (ankle) took limited practice reps Wednesday. Welker is fully expected to play against the Jets this week.
Packers WR Greg Jennings (groin) did not practice Wednesday. Jennings said that he wasn't going to return until he was close to 100 percent. We are expecting that he will be out until he puts successful back-to-back practices together. James Jones and Randall Cobb will continue to pick up the slack. The Packers may feel that they can beat the Rams (and perhaps the Jaguars in Week 8) without Jennings.
Texans WR Andre Johnson (not injury related) took limited practice reps Wednesday. This is normal rest for Johnson.
Rams WR Danny Amendola (shoulder) did not practice Wednesday. Amendola is still out. Brandon Gibson (9) and Chris Givens (7) led the Rams and targets in Week 6.
Saints WR Lance Moore (hamstring) practiced fully Wednesday. Moore has resumed practicing fully, so he's on track to make his return in Week 7. Devery Henderson returns to his normal "lottery ticket" status as a fantasy WR4/WR5.
Redskins WR Pierre Garcon (foot) did not practice Wednesday. There is no timetable for Garcon's return, as both the player and the coaching staff seemed confused by the injury. In his absence, Josh Morgan, Fred Davis and Santana Moss led the Redskins with four targets apiece, while Leonard Hankerson saw three passes come his way.
Bengals WR Andrew Hawkins (back) took limited practice reps Wednesday. Hawkins is probably just getting some rest after playing 54 snaps against the Browns.
Jets WR Stephen Hill (hamstring) took limited practice reps Wednesday. Hill returned in Week 6 and caught a touchdown pass, but his snaps were limited. The Jets won't have the luxury of running the ball as much against the Patriots as they did against the Colts. Jeremy Kerley (finger) practiced fully Wednesday.
Browns WR Mohamed Massaquoi (hamstring) and Travis Benjamin (hamstring) took limited practice reps Wednesday. Both players have probably been passed on the depth chart by Josh Gordon, who has been on fire the last two weeks.
Vikings WR Jerome Simpson (back) practiced fully Wednesday. Simpson says he is sure to play in Week 7. We still like him long term, but would like to see him produce and stay healthy before recommending him as a possible start.
Texans TE Owen Daniels (not injury related) took limited practice reps Wednesday. Daniels is probably just getting some rest.
Redskins TE Fred Davis (knee) practiced fully Wednesday. With Pierre Garcon doubtful to play in Week 7, Davis will continue to be an integral part of the Redskins' passing game.
Packers TE Jermichael Finley (shoulder) took limited practice reps Wednesday. Finley played half as many snaps (24) as did Tom Crabtree (46), but ran more routes, so he's still the preferred receiving TE in the Green Bay offense. He didn't re-aggravate the shoulder, so he should be fine for Week 7. D.J. Williams (hamstring) took limited practice reps Wednesday.
Saints TE Jimmy Graham (ankle) did not practice Wednesday. Despite sitting out practice, Graham is expected to play in Week 7, per a Pro Football Talk source.
Patriots TEs Rob Gronkowski (hip) and Aaron Hernandez (ankle) took limited practice reps Wednesday. Both players are expected to play in Week 7.
Jets TE Dustin Keller (hamstring) took limited practice reps Wednesday. Keller played 49 snaps against the Colts and said his hamstring felt fine after the game.
