Arizona's John Navarre missed the game on Sunday due to his finger injury, as expected (doubtful). Josh McCown led the team to a victory over St. Louis - he looks like he's solidified his hold on the top job again over the last 2 weeks.

Cincinnati's Carson Palmer (sprained MCL in the left knee, questionable) missed the game on Sunday due to his injury. Jon Kitna did not manage to pull out a victory in relief of Palmer (16/32 for 151 yards, 1 TD and 2 interceptions).

Cleveland's Kelly Holcomb was inactive due to his broken ribs, despite being listed as questionable on Friday.

Green Bay's Brett Favre bruised his left wrist during the game on Sunday, but stayed in action after taping the injury. The injury is not considered serious at this time.

Jacksonville's Byron Leftwich limped visibly during the game vs. Green Bay, but stayed in the lineup. He also bruised his left wrist during the game but remained in (X-rays were negative and he appears to be fine).

St. Louis' Marc Bulger's injured right shoulder sidelined him on Sunday (questionable). Backup Chris Chandler was horrible in the early going, so Jamie Martin ended up under center most of the day.

Seattle's Matt Hasselbeck injured his right elbow in the game on Sunday, and could not continue play. X-rays were taken and further evaluations are planned for today.

Tennessee's Steve McNair did not play on Sunday due to his sternum injury. Billy Volek was 8 yards shy of 500 yards passing in the game in relief of McNair.

Running Backs

Arizona's Emmitt Smith suffered a migraine headache during the game vs. St. Louis, but returned to action. His status will be reviewed as the week goes along. His injured toe was also hurting after the game - Smith stated after the game that the toe won't be fully healed until after the season.

Atlanta's FB Justin Griffith is now on IR due to the ankle injury sustained last week. New starting FB Stanley Pritchett injured his right hand in the game on Saturday, had the hand put in a cast, and returned to the game. The severity of the injury is being further evaluated. T.J. Duckett was inactive as expected (knee surgery).

Baltimore's Jamal Lewis' ankle injury didn't keep him out of the game vs. Indianapolis, but he was visibly limping at points and split time with backup Chester Taylor during the game.

Buffalo's Travis Henry missed the game on Sunday due to his leg/ankle injury (out on Friday's injury report). Willis McGahee twisted his right knee and missed the final quarter of the Bill's victory on Sunday. He did return to action for a short time after the injury, but then was held out because the knee didn't feel "100%". He'll be evaluated further as the week goes along - an update on the hyper-extended knee and bruised knee is expected Wednesday. The injury is not to his surgically repaired knee, contrary to earlier reports. Rookie free agent Shaud Williams is next on the depth chart, followed by third-year veteran Joe Burns (assuming that Henry can't play due to his injured leg). Drew Rosenhaus commented on Monday after hearing an update on the injury: "It's great news. It's not something that will keep him out an extended period of time, but we don't know about this week. That's something they're going to have to determine later on in the week."

Cleveland's Lee Suggs returned to action this week, with 21/105/0 in the Browns' 0-21 loss to San Diego.

Denver's Tatum Bell played on Sunday despite his separated shoulder "It hurt, but I just tried to deal with it." - Bell's comment on the injury after the game (9 carries for 50 yards, 1/58/0 receiving with a lost fumble at the end of the 58 yard reception). FB Kyle Johnson injured his ankle in the game vs. K.C. X-Rays were negative, but a MRI is scheduled for Monday to determine if there is ligament damage in the joint.

Kansas City's Derrick Blaylock (knee, questionable) missed the game on Sunday due to his injury.

Pittsburgh's Duce Staley missed the game on Sunday due to his hamstring injury (questionable on Friday's injury report).

San Francisco's Kevan Barlow (concussion, ) was active and played in a backup role Sunday - after the game, coach Erickson indicated that Barlow would be re-inserted into the starting lineup this week (Maurice Hicks managed 11/37/0 vs. Washington on Sunday).

St. Louis' Steven Jackson was active but did not play vs. Arizona. Coach Martz insisted that Jackson was healthy: "He was healthy. They blitzed us just about every snap the first half, and you need to have a guy in there that kind of knows what's going on. We felt like with the blitz pickups, that we could use Marshall in some of the pass routes."

Tennessee's Chris Brown's season is over - coach Fisher stated on Sunday: "We're going to shut him down for the rest of the year. We're just going to let him try and get healthy." An official announcement is expected on Monday.

Green Bay's WR Robert Ferguson was hospitalized after being "clothes-lined" by Jaguar DB Donovan Darius on Sunday. Darius was ejected from the game after the hit. He was unconscious for some time after the hit - head coach Mike Sherman said : "On the field, it looked serious, and it still is serious. He gained movement in his lower extremities, which he didn't have when he left the building, so that's good news." Ferguson will be evaluated further as the week goes along - it would be a big surprise to see him playing in the game vs. Minnesota. He remained in the hospital on Monday afternoon and will stay in the hospital for another night on Monday.

Houston's J.J. Moses suffered an ankle injury during the game on Sunday and could not continue to return punts.

Kansas City's Johnnie Morton (knee, questionable) missed the game on Sunday due to his injury. WR Chris Horn sprained his left knee during the game - the severity of the sprain has yet to be determined.

Oakland's WR John Stone (hamstring, probable) was inactive for the game on Sunday.

Philadelphia's Terrell Owens suffered a very high ankle sprain and a stress fracture to his fibula. He'll have surgery Wednesday and will miss at least 4-5 weeks. The team is saying there is an "outside" chance Owens could be available for the Super Bowl if the Eagles were to make it that far. Todd Pinkston tweaked his knee during the game, but returned to action. Freddie Mitchell tweaked his quadriceps in the game - all 3 top Eagles' receivers were limping when the game was over.

Pittsburgh's Plaxico Burress (hamstring, out) was inactive on Sunday. Reports out of Pittsburgh on Monday indicate that Burress will probably not be back on the field until the NFL playoffs, as the hamstring continues to be a problem (and it is healing slowly). Said Burress: "I'm not worried about being out for the regular season, at all. My goal is to be healthy for the playoffs. If it causes me to miss these last few games and get the bye week, that gives me three more weeks to get even better. It doesn't hurt me to sit out any longer, because the longer I sit out, the better I'm going to get. And the closer I get to 100 percent, the better our football team is going to get with me in. Hopefully, I can get out there next week. That's my plan." Hines Ward injured his hip early in the game on Sunday, and had a pain-killing injection in order to stay in the game. His status for the next game is not yet known.

San Diego's Keenan McCardell (hamstring, questionable) and Tim Dwight (toe, questionable) were both inactive for the snow-bound game on Sunday.

Tampa Bay's Joey Galloway continues to play through groin and ankle injuries - he scored twice in the game on Sunday - the soreness from the injuries continue to be an issue, however.

Washington's TE Chris Cooley strained a calf in the game on Saturday - the injury isn't considered serious.

Place Kickers

Washington's John Hall has been placed on IR due to his latest injury (quadriceps). Ola Kimrin couldn't get a visa fast enough to sub for Hall (he's in Sweden) - the team is relying on former 49er Jeff Chandler to do the job now.

Punters

No significant injuries to note this week.

Offensive Linemen

Arizona's OT Leonard Davis has a torn meniscus in his left knee that will require surgery to correct - he is currently playing through the injury, though that might change. "I don't really know.

Buffalo's C/LS Jon Dorenbos (knee, questionable) missed the game on Sunday due to his injury.
