| Deion Branch, who has been battling a foot injury, has practiced all week, but coach Mike Holmgren still hasn't decided for certain whether he'll play this weekend, according to the Seattle Times.

| Dallas Clark, TE, Indianapolis Colts | Friday 11/16, 5:50 PM CT |
|
| Dallas Clark, who missed last week's contest with a concussion, is expected to return to action this weekend against Kansas City, according to Sports Ticker. Clark practiced the entire week, and Peyton Manning could lean on the tight end more this weekend with the rest of the Colts receiving corps banged up. |

|
| Ahman Green, RB, Houston Texans | Friday 11/16, 5:33 PM CT |
|
| Ahman Green will sit out Sunday's contest with the Saints. Coach Gary Kubiak was optimistic early in the week that rest during the bye week would allow Green to play, but that's obviously not the case. "He has not responded here over the course of the last couple of weeks in the rest we have given him," Kubiak said in the AP. "He came out, did a little bit yesterday. It did not respond. The knee swelled this morning, so he will be down and we'll work from there." Kubiak said he's not sure how long Green will be out. |

|
| Laveranues Coles has been practicing all week and should be good to go in Week 11, reports the New York Daily News. Coles missed the Jets' Week 9 game with a concussion. The bye week came at a perfect time for Coles, but the Steelers and their No. 1-rated pass defense should keep the headaches coming in Week 11. |

|
| After being welcomed back to the Dolphins by head coach Cam Cameron on Thursday, Ricky Williams is expected to practice for the first time on Monday, reports the Miami Herald. Williams won't be cleared to play in a game until Week 12, but it's unclear what Cameron's exact plans are for him. He reported to Miami at his 230-pound regular playing weight and talked about having regained a passion for football. But he also made comments about his return being financially motivated as much as anything else, and it stands to reason he'll need some time to get into playing shape. In other words, don't go crazy trying to find a spot for him on your fantasy bench. |

|
|
| Jerious Norwood was limited in practice on Thursday. However, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports that he appeared to be close to full speed.

|

The Chiefs have not revealed details about the injury, but LJ told teammates that he cracked a bone. Priest Holmes is starting in his place. |
|
|
|

|
| Laurence Maroney has yet to score a touchdown this season, and he doesn't really care. "Have you seen the victories we have?" Maroney told the Boston Globe. "I'm happy even though I haven't reached the end zone. Everybody wants to reach the end zone. I feel like my time is coming sooner than later. As long as we keep winning, I don't care if I never make it to the end zone." Maroney scored seven times in a backup role last year and has been a huge disappointment this year. With Tom Brady and the passing game doing all of the Patriots scoring, it's tough to envision a huge turnaround for L-Mo. |
