NFL Football - Injury Report

There were a few guys that went down with injury but nothing earth shattering or of real fantasy relevance. If you are still alive then you can breathe a sigh of relief because your roster will remain intact heading into week 13. If you are an Andre Johnson owner you were indirectly affected by Schaub and now Matt Leinart’s season ending injury. He is hard to bench but it is also hard to believe either QB will be able to get him th rock. It looks like the Texans will be rolling with a rookie at Quarter Back or journey man Sage Rosenfels unless the man who can’t be named decides to bring his circus act out of retirement.

Matt Leinart- Collarbone- Well his tenure as a starting QB lasted almost an entire half of football. Leinart went down with a broken collarbone and he will be done for the season leaving the Texans thin at QB but an 8-3 record.

Sidney Rice- Head- Rice had zero production in his game on Sunday and eventually left the game do to a concussion. The severity of the concussion hasn’t been revealed yet so you will have to wait for an update this week to get a timeframe on his injury.

Kevin Smith- Ankle- Smith had a solid game and a half before he pulled up lame in the 2^nd quarter against the Packers. He has avoided the dreaded high ankle sprain and there is a chance he will be able to go in week 13. You will have to wait until the Lions hit the practice field.

Montario Hardesty- Calf- Hardesty appeared to be ready to finally play in week 12 but he aggravated his calf during warmups and he ending up being a late scratch from the tilt against the Bengals.

Troy Polamalu- Head- Polamalu landed on his head during a tackle on the Sunday night game and he never returned. Hopefully this is just precautionary but there is a chance that Polamalu suffered a concussion which might put his availability in week 13 questionable at best.
