Al Harris, CB (GB) |
Harris appeared to hurt his left knee and left on a cart early in the fourth quarter for X-rays in Green Bay's game against the San Francisco 49ers.
Analysis: Harris was injured away from the play defending 49ers wide receiver Michael Crabtree with Green Bay leading 30-10. He stayed down in an awkward position and did not put any weight on the leg when he was helped by trainers to the cart. While on the cart, he pulled his sock down and tried to brace his left knee, but the team didn't identify which knee was injured. |

Kampman left on a cart for X-rays on his left knee midway through the third quarter of Green Bay's game against San Francisco.
Analysis: Kampman was rushing against right tackle Adam Snyder when he went down and clutched his knee. Kampman walked off the field with a limp and went straight to the trainer's table behind the Packers' bench. Moments later, he walked to a cart and was taken to the locker room for X-rays. |

Ladell Betts, RB (Was) |

Kolby Smith, RB (KC) |
Smith injured his left ankle and will probably not return to Sunday's game.

Dwan Edwards, DT (Bal) |
Edwards plans to appeal the $5,000 fine he received for a hit delivered to Cleveland Browns wide receiver Joshua Cribbs on Monday night.
Analysis: Edwards said Friday he will appeal in an effort "to get some of it back."' He said the fine was levied because the hit came at a time when Cribbs "supposedly shouldn't have reasonably expected it." |

Garrett Wolfe, RB (Chi) |

Analysis: The Bears elevated running back Kahlil Bell from the practice squad to replace Wolfe. Wolfe carried the ball 22 times this season for 120 yards and one touchdown. He added nine special teams tackles and two receptions for 12 yards. |

Jake Delhomme, QB (Car) |
Delhomme was 19 of 42 for 227 yards and one TD and one INT on Thursday in a 24-17 loss to Miami.
Analysis: Delhomme had gone three straight games without a touchdown before Thursday. He gets a chance to bounce back against the New York Jets on Nov. 29 - the first of two games at Giants Stadium for him with a trip to face the Giants set for Dec. 27. |
| 11/20/2009 |
Steve Smith, WR (Car) |
Smith had seven catches for 87 yards and 1 TD Thursday in the Panthers' 24-17 loss to Miami.

Jonathan Stewart, RB (Car) |
Stewart had 12 carries for 42 yards and Thursday in the Panthers' 24-17 loss to Miami.
Analysis: Stewart had two touchdowns five days earlier against Atlanta, but it was a different story against the defending AFC East champion Dolphins. |
| 11/20/2009 |
DeAngelo Williams, RB (Car) |
Williams had 13 carries for 122 yards Thursday in a 24-17 loss to Miami.
Analysis: Williams has topped 100 yards four times in the last six weeks. Fantasy owners must be loving his production, particular his per-carry average. |
| 11/20/2009 |
Davone Bess, WR (Mia) |
Bess had six catches for 63 yards in a 24-17 victory at Carolina on Thursday.
Analysis: Bess could be more of a factor in Miami's passing game after this effort. The Dolphins play the Bills next in Buffalo. |
| 11/20/2009 |
Chad Henne, QB (Mia) |
Henne was 17 of 29 for 172 yards and one TD to RB Ricky Williams in a 24-17 victory at Carolina on Thursday.
Analysis: Henne has done a good job taking over as the starter for Chad Pennington, but he doesn't have too much fantasy value. |
| 11/20/2009 |
Ricky Williams, RB (Mia) |
Williams rushed for 119 yards and scored three touchdowns in a 24-17 victory at Carolina on Thursday.
Analysis: Williams started in place of an injured Ronnie Brown. The 2002 NFL rushing champion had a receiving and rushing touchdown in the same game for the first time in his career that included a couple of lost seasons. "Coach always talks about finishing," Williams said. "Sometimes in this league, in a physical game, it's difficult to finish. I think in the past we've prided ourselves on finishing games and we did a good job tonight." |

Joe Berger, G (Mia) |
Berger, who replaced Jake Grove at center in Miami's game Thursday, left the game in the fourth quarter with an ankle injury.
Analysis: Berger tried to go back into the game but was re-injured. Nate Garner replaced him. It's not certain how serious the injuries to Berger and Grove are. |
| 11/20/2009 |
Jake Grove, C (Mia) |
Grove left the Dolphins' game on Thursday because of an ankle injury. He did not return.
Analysis: Backup center Joe Berger also was injured but he would come back only to leave again. Grove is a big presence on the Miami offensive line and his presence was quickly missed after Berger left. Nate Garner moved over from left guard and botched a snap on the second play. |
