Bob Sanders Out For Season

He was originally just getting his arm scoped by Dr. James Andrews, but clearly they found something bigger than originally thought.

Sanders will miss the remainder of the season with a torn bicep, exiting the starting line-up just weeks since making his 2009 debut. Indy's seventh ranked pass defense will take a hit.

 

Anthony Gonzalez Has Knee Scoped

This is just another fantastic tidbit for mini-Gonzo.

If you were holding out hope for him to rescue your weak receiving corps, you can give up. Even if he does make it back (which is in doubt), he's no lock to be a huge factor in time for your playoffs.

 

Antonio Bryant's Knee Swelling Up

Great. Experts were plugging this guy all weak against a beatable Packers secondary, and now his knee is acting up.

Head coach Raheem Morris, and Bryant himself, admitted that this injury could very well keep him out of the Week Nine match-up with Green Bay. Bryant will be a game-time decision.

 

Brian Westbrook Ready to Play This Sunday

He's still listed as questionable after sustaining a concussion against the New York Giants, but he should be ready to go for Sunday Night's game against the Cowboys.

Westbrook is in a complete timeshare with LeSean McCoy, and is facing a decent defense, so he's not an elite play this week. Mark him as a low-end RB2.

 

Donald Driver Looks Good For Sunday

Driver sat out two practices this week due to a stinger, but looks to be healthy enough to take a crack at carving up Tampa Bay's awful secondary.

He's an elite WR2 this week, if he does indeed play. Keep up to date with his status leading up to game-time.

 

Devin Hester to Start on Sunday

Hester's ankle was holding him back a bit in practice this week, but the receiver says he's "100%" and ready to go.

He's been targeted quite well in his past three games, and should post a decent line against a very vulnerable Arizona pass defense. Consider him a stable and rising WR3.
