    • Slaton doesn't seem overly concerned about the shoulder issue that kept him out of practice Wednesday, the Texans' official site reports. "It's feeling good. I should be back hopefully tomorrow, just running around a little bit," Slaton said Wednesday.
      Recommendation: "Yeah, it's a short week and turnaround," Slaton added. "So we took a day off to rest it." More on his status in the coming days, but what his role will be in Week 12 seems more of a question mark than his availability.

    • RB Steve Slaton, who hasn't run well and has lost five of seven games, has still scored seven touchdowns. He scored 10 as a rookie last season. Four of Slaton's touchdowns have been as a receiver. Because he hasn't run effectively or consistently, offensive coordinator Kyle Shanahan has involved him in the passing game. Interesting that Slaton would experience a sophomore slump and still have a shot at scoring more touchdowns than he did last season.

    • QB Kurt Warner (head) practiced Wednesday and is expected to play Sunday.
      (Yahoo! Sports)
  • Tue, Nov 24
    • QB Kurt Warner likely will be a question mark for Sunday's game until at least later in the week. He suffered a head injury against St. Louis and will need to pass neurological tests before being cleared.
      (Yahoo! Sports)
  • Mon, Nov 23
    • Coach Ken Whisenhunt says he had a long talk with Warner on the flight home, and the quarterback was alert and upbeat following a blow to the head in Sunday's' victory over St. Louis. Warner threw for 203 yards and two touchdowns while building a 21-3 cushion, and the NFC West leaders hung on late, remaining unbeaten on the road with a 21-13 victory over the St. Louis Rams on Sunday.
      Advice: Still, Warner's availability to practice this week or play Sunday at Tennessee will depend on how he does in the mandatory "baseline test" of his cognitive functions. Whisenhunt says the test probably will be administered on Tuesday.
      (STATS, Inc.)
    • QB Kurt Warner had a headache after Sunday's game but he and coach Ken Whisenhunt are optimistic Warner will be able to play against the Titans. He has passed for at least 20 touchdowns in each of the last three seasons. He is the first Cardinals quarterback to accomplish that feat. Warner will undergo neurological tests as the week progresses to determine if he can play Sunday at Tennessee. Warner suffered from concussion symptoms after taking a hit in the second quarter against the Rams. "We will have him tested just to make sure," Whisenhunt said. "We are obviously optimistic that there won't be any issues with that whatsoever."

  • Sun, Nov 22
    • QB Kurt Warner left Sunday's game with a concussion just before halftime. Warner's condition likely won't be determined until later in the week. He's had concussions before in his career, but it's been several years. He guessed that his last one was in 2003, his final year with the Rams. Warner was flushed from the pocket on the play and taken down hard by Rams safety Oshiomogho Atogwe. Warner was never knocked out and he played six more plays. But he was woozy and had a slight headache, so he was held out. His statuse for Sunday's game at Tennessee likely will be questionable. "We're progressing and thinking that without anything else happening that I'll be good to go and probably play next week," Warner said of the Titans game. "It's just one of those Catch-22s, where you want to help your team win, but you also don't want to do anything dumb that's going to jeopardize you for the rest of the season."

    • Roethlisberger (head) practiced fully Wednesday, the Steelers' official site reports.

  • Wed, Nov 25Recent News
    • Cutler discussed his poor play Wednesday. He said he knew he would be the center of attention for a team that has long been searching for a franchise quarterback. "I haven't played up to my expectations. I think that's the most important part. I can play better. I know that," Cutler said. "It's a process, though. I think everyone in the offense knows what we're trying to get done."
      Advice: Cutler is correct in saying he can play better. The Bears have lost five of six and Cutler leads the NFL with 18 interceptions. Fantasy owners should stay away from starting Cutler this week at Minnesota and possibly the rest of the season.
      (STATS, Inc.)

    • RB Ahmad Bradshaw will not play against the Denver Broncos on Thanksgiving night. Bradshaw, who didn't accompany the team on its trip, has been playing most of the season with a right foot injury consisting of a sore ankle and a cracked bone in his fifth metatarsal (pinkie toe).
      (Yahoo! Sports)
  • Tue, Nov 24
    • RB Ahmad Bradshaw (foot), who has been wearing a boot on his right foot for most of the season, suffered a new injury in the Giants' victory over Atlanta, this one to his left ankle. Bradshaw, who didn't practice Monday or Tuesday, was seen on crutches. "After the game, we thought it was just an ankle sprain, but evidentially it's more severe than that, so he's in a boot," said head coach Tom Coughlin. If Bradshaw can't play Thursday, third-year man Danny Ware, who last week did well in his limited snaps as part of the third down package, will take his reps, while rookie Gartrell Johnson, who has been inactive since Ware's return, would likely be activated.
