Bucs RB Warrick Dunn (back) isn’t expected to play this weekend. He’s yet to be ruled out, but plan accordingly.
---
Worth noting, the Bucs one time stud RB Carnell Williams is working with the team and Coach Gruden is optimistic. “He really looked good today. “ He could be 2-3 weeks away.
---
Cardinals WR Early Doucet was slowed in practice Thursday after hurting his groin. For now, we believe he’s going to be ok.
---
Cardinals TE Ben Patrick (knee) was limited at practice Wednesday and did not practice Thursday. He’s very iffy for this weekend.
---
Cardinals TE Leonard Pope (ankle) has yet to practice this week and he’s not someone to count on this weekend.
---
The Cardinals have kicker Neil Rackers (right calf) on the injury report but he’s kicking and expected to play as normal.
---

---
Falcons WR Laurent Robinson (knee) should be able to play this weekend.
---
Ravens RB Le'Ron McClain (ankle) took reps Wednesday and Thursday. He should be able to play this week.
---
As usual, the Ravens are giving RB Willis McGahee (ankle) some reps off at practice. Once again, he should be OK.

---
Bills QB Trent Edwards (ankle) showed up on the injury report Thursday, but he remains on track to start.

---
Broncos TE Tony Scheffler (groin) is taking limited reps this week. Friday will be a key day here. Right now he’s still questionable for the week.
---
Even after a bye, Packers QB Aaron Rodgers (right shoulder) continues to rest his arm at practice. This has been the normal pattern for weeks now and he plays.

---
Chiefs RB Jamaal Charles is iffy for week nine due to his ankle. We’ll have more Friday.
---
The Vikings expect WR Sidney Rice (knee) to play this weekend. Still, Bobby Wade has earned the right to be on the field even if Rice’s knee holds up.
---
Patriots RB LaMont Jordan (calf) is doing some work this week so that’s a good sign. Still, look for them to treat him as a game time call. Regardless,
Kevin Faulk and rookie BenJarvus Green-Ellis will also be in the mix.

Word is Patriots RB Sammy Morris (knee) remains a long shot for this weekend.
---
Patriots WR Randy Moss (foot) got back to a full workout Thursday. He remains on track to start.

---
Jets K Mike Nugent (right thigh) has already been ruled out for the week.

---
Eagles TE L.J. Smith (concussion) is not someone to count on this week. Look for Smith to be ruled out this weekend.

Mewelde Moore as Pittsburgh eases him back into the lineup.

---
WR Deion Branch (heel) will not play in week nine.
---
The Seahawks are limiting WR Koren Robinson’s reps due to his knee but he should be able to start this weekend.

---
Rams WR Drew Bennett (foot) isn’t someone to count on. He did not practice Wednesday or Thursday. Regardless, rookie WR
Donnie Avery remains the Rams receiver to own.
---
Redskins RB Clinton Portis (ankle) did not practice Wednesday or Thursday. The team continues to give him time to rest. Look for Portis to do some work Friday and start this weekend.
