Injury Report for November 26th

By Christian Hardy


Quarterbacks
- Kyle Orton did practice with the team on Saturday, but he will be listed as the third quarterback on the Chiefs depth chart on Sunday. As I said in yesterday's injury report, Tyler Palko will be the starter.
- According to Reuben Frank of CSNPhilly.com, Vince Young was told that he will be the starter against the Patriots on Sunday.


Running Backs
- No surprise here, but Adrian Peterson was ruled out for week 12 with his ankle sprain. Leslie Frazier is hopeful that he can return for week 13 against the Denver Broncos. However, for this week against the Falcons, Toby Gerhart will start. He is not a great fantasy option, as the Falcons have allowed just one one hundred yard rusher in the 2011 season. I think you could do better than Gerhart in your fantasy lineup.
- Ahmad Bradshaw, who has not practiced all week long, was ruled out for Monday night's game against the Saints in New Orleans. This will be his fourth consecutive game that he has been ruled out of, and Brandon Jacobs will start in his place.


Wide Receivers
- Legedu Naanee has not practiced all week with an ankle injury, and he is listed as questionable. He is not likely to play. If Naanee is indeed out, then Brandon LaFell would become a nice flex play against the weak secondary of the Colts.
- More Giants news: Mario Manningham did not practice today and has not practiced all week with a knee injury. He expects to play, but people close to the situation do not think he will play. Since the Giants play on Monday night, you definitely need to stay away from Manningham. He will not be in my updated rankings.
- Patriots wide receiver Chad Ochocinco has a hamstring injury and will not play this weekend against the Eagles.
- Giants wide receiver Michael Clayton tore his meniscus. That will require surgery, which means that he will miss the remainder of the season. Tough break for a guy that, many have said, has shown some bright spots. Clayton was drafted in the first round of the 2004 draft. Tough break.
