Every week when the dinner bell rings on Friday evening, we'll be here to provide you a comprehensive injury report for the NFL weekend to follow. For those injuries that go right down to the wire, drop by our Fantasy Fanhouse expert live chat from 10am to 1pm EST every Sunday and we'll take care of you on those bloody game-time decisions. As always, please feel free to chime in with opinions, updates, and rumors in the comments. The Arizona Cardinals
Anquan Boldin - After the last Sunday's vicious hit, Boldin came away with a fractured sinus membrane, which I believe means he broke his face. While he is lucky that is the worst of it after what looked like a neck injury, he is very unlikely to play on Sunday at this point. It has not yet been ruled out however, so keep an eye on his progress.
The Baltimore Ravens
Willis McGahee - McGahee continues to keep things interesting as now he has injured ribs, which limited his playing time on Monday night. His efforts in practice this week have been limited, but he did practice on Friday, so he should be good to at least split carries.
The Buffalo Bills
Roscoe Parrish - Parrish is definitely out for three to five more weeks with a thumb injury. While this is not material for many people, it opens the door for James Hardy to gain some playing time and for Lee Evans to put up a couple of his sporadic breakout games.
The Carolina Panthers
Jonathan Stewart - Stewart is still on the injury report, but he will be fine to go this week.
Jake Delhomme - Delhomme is listed as probable with a thigh injury, but he will be ready for week 5. With Steve Smith back and Muhsin Muhammad getting involved, Delhomme's value is on the up and up.
The Chicago Bears
Marty Booker - Booker missed practice on Wednesday and Thursday with a knee injury. He is listed as probable, but given the fact that he has three catches this season thus far, there is no reason to start him.
Brandon Lloyd - Brandon Lloyd is nursing a sprained knee that will keep him out of Sunday's game. It's a damn shame too, because he probably could have lit up the Lion's horrible defense.
The Cincinnati Bengals
Chris Perry - Perry is listed as questionable and practiced in pads on Thursday. The Bengal's signing of Cedric Benson raises a red flag, but he is expected to take a reserve role just in case Perry can't go.
Kenny Watson - Kenny Watson is expected to be out one more week before making his return to the Bengal's messy backfield situation.
Carson Palmer - Palmer's availability is still somewhat up in the air. The Bengals were reportedly working on gameplans with and without him in the game, but he was throwing on Friday, so he looks ready to go.
The Cleveland Browns
Donte Stallworth - After a lot of waiver wire activity in many leagues last week, Stallworth still looks like he is unfit to play.
Kellen Winslow - Despite being listed as probable, Winslow sat out of practice on Wednesday. He is not yet on the official report, so at this point we expect him to be ready for Sunday.
The Denver Broncos
Darrell Jackson - Jackson has been back in limited action. Still, with Eddie Royal's emergence, his value remains low.
Eddie Royal - Eddie Royal is listed as probable with a light ankle sprain, but he is fine.
Andre Hall - Hall will play with a splint on his wrist as he did some ligament damage, but he has not missed any practice.
The Detroit Lions
Jon Kitna - Kitna sprained his knee two weeks ago, but he shows no signs of problems after the bye week.
Roy Williams - In a late surprise addition to the injury report, Williams missed practice on Thursday and is now questionable. Stay tuned as not much is known at this point.
The Green Bay Packers
Aaron Rodgers - Rogders had a tough week of practice with his shoulder injury, but he is a man determined to play on Sunday. He says he will do whatever it takes to get in there including injections or a wearing harness. He will be a game-time decision.
The Houston Texans
Chris Taylor- Unfortunately for Taylor, he was just starting to get his carries in Houston, but hurt his Quadriceps last week and is now questionable. This will not help him rise above Ahman Green when he returns... until he gets injured again.
The Jacksonville Jaguars
Jerry Porter - Porter caught one ball last week and is recovering nicely from the hamstring injury. Keep an eye on him this week to see if he plays a bigger role.
The Minnesota Vikings
Adrian Peterson - Adrian Peterson is nearly back to 100% and off the injury report. Let's see what this baby can do.
The New England Patriots
Laurence Maroney - Maroney looks ready to return to action. It should be interesting to see where he falls in the depth chart.
The New Orleans Saints
Marques Colston - Colston will be out another 2 or 3 weeks. Start thinking about a trade?
The New York Giants
Plaxico Burress - Slack-ass Burress will serve his suspension this week.
The New York Jets
Laveranues Coles - If last week's game is any indication, it's safe to say Coles is fine. The connections between the Jets receivers and Brett Favre are getting mighty interesting to say the least.
Brett Favre - Favre's ankle is still not 100%, but if we've told you once, we've told you twice; Favre+Vicodin = Breakout Numbers.
The Oakland Raiders
Darren McFadden - McFadden was limited in practice, but he played last week, so we see no reason to doubt his abilities this week.
Justin Fargas - Fargas is also questionable and missed practice with a groin injury. Between Fargas and McFadden, Fargas has the more serious injury, but he says he will be ready for this weekend's game.
The Philadelphia Eagles
Kevin Curtis - Curtis continues to practice, so if he is available, he is probably a good waiver wire snag at this point. Sports hernias are tough to gauge though, so don't rush into anything.
Brian Westbrook - While Westbrook is listed as questionable and he says he is closer, he is seriously questionable. If I had to guess, I would say they are just politicking it and he will sit out.
Donovan McNabb - McNabb is questionable and practiced in a limited capacity this week, but went full speed on Friday. He should be ready.
L.J. Smith - Smith returned to practice and went full speed on Friday, so his return looks promising.
The Pittsburgh Steelers
Ben Roethlisberger - Big Ben sat out of practice Wednesday and was limited on Thursday while resting his nagging shoulder, but he should start on Sunday.
Willie Parker - Parker is officially Out and "week-to-week" according to Coach Tomlin.
Rashard Mendenhall - Mendenhall is officially on the IR. That leaves Mewelde Moore to carry the load this week, who will be a decent fill in if you need a back this week.
Santonio Holmes - Holmes is listed as probable with a neck injury and was limited in practice this week. Still, he should be ready to go for week five.
The San Diego Chargers
Antonio Gates - Gates' missed practice Wednesday with his bum hip bothering him, but he has given no reason to doubt his availability.
LaDainian Tomlinson - LdT says the toe is not totally 100%, but he practiced all week, so should continue to put up LdT-type numbers as he has the past two weeks.
The San Francisco 49ers
Bryant Johnson - Johnson should be back to full strength after his hamstring injury led to an ineffective performance last week.
The Seattle Seahawks
Deion Branch - Branch continues to up the workload and looks ready to go this week. Sleeper alert.
Bobby Engram - Engram continues to up the workload and looks ready to go this week. Sleeper alert. Sound familiar?
Maurice Morris - Morris practiced light this week and looks doubtful. Better find an alternative.
The St. Louis Rams
Steven Jackson - Last week, Jackson assured fans that his groin injury is fine and he is practicing hard. He wasn't kidding, because he finally broke out a big game with almost 200 all-purpose yards and a score.
Antonio Pittman - Backup to Steven Jackson, Antonio Pittman will be out 3-5 weeks with a broken leg.
The Tampa Bay Bucs
Joey Galloway - Again, Galloway did not practice this week and looks like a long shot.
The Tennessee Titans
Vince Young - Vince Young practiced for the first time since his knee injury, but he still has a way to go.
Lendale White - White injured his shoulder and is listed as Questionable. He's not the best option at this point, so look elsewhere at least until he is full speed.
Justin Gage - Gage missed Wednesday's practice and was seen wearing a brace. He is still expected to play though, so this may have just been preventative.
