|
| The Vikings suffered a second blow to their defensive line this week when they placed oft-injured defensive end Erasmus James on injured reserve with a torn ACL. James had just reclaimed his starting position last week, after being out for the last season and a half as he recovered from an ACL tear on the same knee. On Wednesday defensive end Ray Edwards was doled out a four-game suspension fro violating the league’s steroid policy. This leaves rookie Brian Robison and Jayme Mitchell to fill in at defensive end for the remainder of the regular season. |

|
|
| The MRI on Jason Campbell’s dislocated kneecap showed that his injury would probably not require surgery, and the Redskins are not ruling out a return for their signal caller this season. The normal recovery time for this kind of injury is about four weeks, which would put his return at the very end of the year. |
|
|
|
| The other injured receiver in the Big Apple is Laveranues Coles , who has been noticeable hobbled in the locker room and during practice this week with an injured left ankle. Coles is listed as questionable for this week’s game against the Browns. |
|

|
| Jerricho Cotchery was listed as doubtful for Sunday’s game against the Cleveland Browns. Cotchery has been nursing an injured and surgically repaired right index finger, which caused him to miss last week’s game. |

| Chris Hope, S, Tennessee Titans | Friday 12/7, 7:12 PM CT |
|
| Titans safety Chris Hope will miss the rest of the season with a spinal cord injury that he suffered on Nov. 25 against the Bengals. Many remember Hope laying on the field face down with his left arm and leg twitching after a helmet-to-helmet collision with teammate Sean Conover. According to coach Jeff Fisher, Hope did not suffer a career ending injury, but will require rest and possible surgery in order for him to heal. |

| Marc Bulger had a setback in his recovery from a concussion, and he's listed as questionable for Sunday's contest against the Bengals. However, two sources have told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch he won't play Sunday. "Marc had really what I thought were two very good practices Wednesday and Thursday, but that’s the objective part," coach Scott Linehan said. "I guess the subjective part is he didn’t feel really good after (Thursday) afternoon’s meetings. "Because of that, it puts some questions in my mind as to whether or not he should be cleared to play. . . .We’re not going to put a guy out on the field if there’s any doubt whatsoever when it comes to these kinds of injuries. Or any injuries." If Bulger does in fact sit on Sunday, Brock Berlin, who has yet to throw a pass in the NFL, will get the start. This could have a negative effect on receivers Torry Holt and Isaac Bruce. |

We’ll monitor where he’s at. You know, I’m still hopeful for this weekend’s game.” Bush practiced on Thursday and experienced some soreness.
