NFL Injury Report Week 5: Team-by-Team Updates, Inactive List and More

Believe it or not, NFL and fantasy football fans, but it is already Week 5 of the 2012 season.

With the year flying by, it’s time to get the latest updates on the stars that will play this week or those that will be forced onto the inactive list.

We have all the news you need for your fantasy team or your favorite NFL squad, so keep it here for all the latest updates as they break!

Greg Jennings, WR, Green Bay Packers

Status: Out

According to NFL.com's Dan Hanzus, Greg Jennings is out for this week with a groin injury. The Packers have a slew of weapons at their disposal, but they could be entering a trap game in Indianapolis this week. The Packers are 2-2 and can't afford to drop such a winnable game.

Rashard Mendenhall, RB, Pittsburgh Steelers

Status: Active

Despite ESPN's Ed Werder saying that Rashard Mendenhall will carry a light load in Week 5 against the Philadelphia Eagles before taking over for good in Week 6, per Rotoworld.com, Mendenahll is active and will play.

Michael Vick, QB, Philadelphia Eagles

Status: Active

Despite a knee injury suffered in Week 4 that looked alarming at the time, Michael Vick is officially active. For fantasy owners and Eagles fans, this is good news moving forward.

Hakeem Nicks, WR, New York Giants

Status: Out

According to ESPN's Kieran Darcy, Hakeem Nicks is out this week against the Browns. After such a hot start, it's a shame to see Nicks sidelined for three straight weeks. Fantasy owners and Eli Manning will have to make due for at least another week.

Julio Jones, WR, Atlanta Falcons

Status: Active

After it was revealed that the Atlanta Falcons star may have been hampered by a hand injury, according to a report by the Associated Press, he will be active Sunday and not limited by his injury. Play him in fantasy with confidence.

Lance Moore, WR, New Orleans Saints

Status: Out

Lance Moore will not play in Sunday's game against the San Diego Chargers, according to Mike Triplett of the Times-Picayune. Jimmy Graham, Marques Colston, Darren Sproles and, to a lesser degree, Devery Henderson should all see an uptick in production. 

Kenny Britt, WR, Tennessee Titans

Status: Active

After aggravating his ankle injury trying to practice on Thursday, Kenny Britt will play Sunday. While this is good news for the Titans, fantasy owners must look elsewhere for fantasy help.

Ramses Barden, WR, New York Giants

Status: Out

Ramses Barden has been ruled "out" against the Cleveland Browns on Sunday, according to Rotoworld.com. This should see receivers Victor Cruz and Domenik Hixon see more targets. Hixon racked up six catches for 114 yards last week against the Eagles.

Jake Locker, QB, Tennessee Titans

Status: Out

Mike Munchak revealed early in the week (via the Tennessee Titans' official Twitter account) that Locker would not play against the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday. Veteran Matt Hasselbeck will get the start in his place. 

Danny Amendola, WR, St. Louis Rams

Status: Out

Danny Amendola has been diagnosed with a dislocated clavicle and is expected to miss 6-7 weeks, according to Adam Caplan of TheSidelineView.com. Amendola was injured in the second quarter of the Rams' 17-3 victory over the Arizona Cardinals on Thursday. As the Rams' top receiver, he will surely be missed.

Julian Edelman, WR, New England Patriots

Status: Out

Julian Edelman has been ruled "out" in the Patriots' game against the Denver Broncos on Sunday, per WEEI.com.
