What a weird weekend in was last weekend. Detroit melting down in a snow storm allowing the Eagles' LeSean McCoy to run roughshod over them while Matthew Stafford and company to be largely ineffective against the Eagles D. The Brown had their game with New England won until Tom Brady worked his magic and eeked out a win that should not have been. The Ravens prevailed over the Vikings despite the lead changing 5 time in the last 1:28 of the game when 5 TDs were scored. There was a second loss in 3 weeks to the Jacksonville Jaguars by the Texans that cost Gary Kubiak his job and there was the weekly beat down of the Redskins this time by the Chiefs after which Redskins head coach said he was thinking of quitting his job at the end of LAST year. Never a dull moment in the NFL!
From a fantasy standpoint there were some injuries that will affect the fantasy landscape.
Adrian Peterson left the game with Baltimore in the 2nd quarter with what was feared was a knee injury. The way AP was writhing on the ground it looked like his knee was totally blown. After an MRI on Monday it was revealed that he just has a foot injury. His status this week is questionable.
Rob Gronkowski is done for the season after he tore his ACL and MCL as well as suffering a slight concussion in the Patriots game vs the Browns.
Wes Welker is out of this week's Thursday night game against San Diego due to a concussion suffered against the Titans. It's Welker's second concussion in the last month.
Christian Ponder has been cleared to play in Week 15 after missing last week due to a concussion he received in Week 13. Matt Cassel has been starting and he may remain the starter. If you're in your fantasy league's playoffs and you're worried about this situation then you've got major issues.
Bengals CB Terrance Newman suffered a sprained MCL and will miss this week's game against the Steelers in Pittsburgh.
Reggie Bush is "day to day" after aggravating his calf injury in pre-game warm ups Sunday. Joique Bell has carried the load very well and probably should be the play even if Bush was healthy.
Rashad Jennings passed his concussion test and will be ready to go this week. Jenning missed the game against the Jets this past Sunday.
Seahawks linebacker K J Wright broke a bone in his foot against the 49ers last Sunday and will miss the rest of the regular season and possibly the playoffs.
The Giants have put Brandon Jacobs on IR because of a knee injury that has kept him out of the last two games. It's much ado about nothing though since Andre Brown and Payton Hillis have been carrying the rock for the G-men anyway.
