Panthers O-line: Both tackles upgraded on Thursday. Lower expectations for DE Gaines Adams.
 
Diggs: Upgraded on Thursday, but he’s nothing special anyway.
 
Galloway: Upgraded on Thursday. Hey, it’s about time he got his ass back on the field. Belongs on your fantasy bench until he can make it through a full game with some decent stats.
 
Ruud: Upgraded on Thursday. ”What I’d like to have right now”… wait, I did that yesterday. He should be fine to play vs the Panthers.
 
Brooks: Upgraded on Thursday.

LIMITED PARTICIPATION IN PRACTICE
Thursday DT Grady Jackson (knee), C Todd McClure (calf), TE Justin Peelle (knee), T Todd Weiner (knee), G Ben Wilkerson (chest)
 
Bears DBs: Both corners upgraded on Thursday. Tillman is expected, but that was a quick recovery for Vasher.
 
White: Downgraded on Thursday. Taking is easy after banging his noggin in practice yesterday. Reports state he’ll play, but with the Bears top corners back in the mix, it’ll be tougher to get open.

GREEN BAY PACKERS
Practice Report
OUT (DEFINITELY WILL NOT PLAY)
Thursday CB Al Harris (spleen)
DID NOT PARTICIPATE IN PRACTICE

SEATTLE SEAHAWKS
Practice Report
Thursday Practice not complete
DID NOT PARTICIPATE IN PRACTICE
Wednesday WR Deion Branch (heel), QB Matt Hasselbeck (knee), QB Seneca Wallace (calf)
LIMITED PARTICIPATION IN PRACTICE
Wednesday LB LeRoy Hill (knee), T Walter Jones (not injury related)
FULL PARTICIPATION IN PRACTICE
Wednesday CB Kelly Jennings (ribs), RB Maurice Morris (knee), WR Koren Robinson (knee)
 
Rouse: Upgraded on Thursday. All other DBs remain with the same status. Seems appropriate that an injury riddled secondary will face an injury riddled receiving unit.
 
Hawk & Rodgers: Same status as yesterday.
 
Branch: Probably won’t play. Possible Sunday receivers - Koren Robinson, starting split end; Keary Colbert, starting flanker; Bobby Engram, slot.
 
Hasselbeck: Getting some rest. The only good thing that came out of last week’s ugliness was he got the second half off. Expect him to play in a must win game for Seattle.
 
Hill: Should play Sunday. He is typically good for five solos, but never has monster games.
 
Jennings: Though he had a full practice, he’s been replaced by DB Josh Wilson. Add Wilson immediately in league that reward points for kick return yards.
 
Morris: Expected to play, but should take a back seat to RB Julius Jones.

Jags: No significant changes.
 
Scheffler and Young: Both injuries should help RB Michael Pittman be a solid fantasy option, especially in PPR leagues.
 
Royal: Being called a bone bruise, and not the dreaded high ankle sprain. Has a chance to play this weekend.

FULL PARTICIPATION IN PRACTICE
Thursday S Chris Reis (hamstring)
 
Wilson: Should be ready by the weekend.

Ellis: Still not ready. Great news for Raiders RBs.
 
Colston: Pay attention in league that have IR slots. He may no longer be listed as “out” tomorrow. I do not expect a significant impact if he does suit up, especially against Awesome-Wah.

Wednesday RB Frank Gore (not injury related), LB Roderick Green (illness), CB Walt Harris (not injury related), T Jonas Jennings (shoulder), LB Manny Lawson (hamstring), S Michael Lewis (elbow)
 
Brown: Downgraded on Thursday. What a pain in the ass. Just when he looks like he’s finally getting it all together.
 
Westbrook: The Eagles have a bye in week eight, so this would tip the scales to Westy sitting it out one more game.

Thursday DE Jason Taylor (calf), G Randy Thomas (knee)
FULL PARTICIPATION IN PRACTICE
Thursday T Stephon Heyer (shoulder), G Pete Kendall (knee), CB Shawn Springs (calf) 
 
Rams: Zero changes.
 
Taylor: Upgraded on Thursday. There is a very real chance he could go this weekend. For fantasy purposes, he belongs on your bench. For the ‘Skins, it’s great news.
 
Springs: Upgraded on Thursday. Another good sign for the ‘Skins. Does nothing for your fantasy team though.

LIMITED PARTICIPATION IN PRACTICE

SAN DIEGO CHARGERS
Practice Report
Thursday Practice not complete
DID NOT PARTICIPATE IN PRACTICE
Wednesday WR Chris Chambers (ankle), RB LaDainian Tomlinson (toe), LB Jyles Tucker (hamstring)
LIMITED PARTICIPATION IN PRACTICE
Wednesday RB Mike Tolbert (ankle) 
 
Jordan: If he was healthy, he could be getting significant carries due to the softness of Maroney.
 
Chambers: Reports indicate he will not play this weekend, so you need to find another fantasy receiver. I expect the extra touches/looks to go to Darren Sproles and LT2.
 
Gates: Not on the report, but that hip is still worrisome.
 
LT2: This toe problem will not go away all year, so expect the headache. Should play this weekend.
 
Tucker: LB Marques Harris gets another start. He’s okay if you are desperate.

NEW YORK GIANTS at CLEVELAND BROWNS on Monday night
 
NEW YORK GIANTS

DID NOT PARTICIPATE IN PRACTICE
Thursday T Kareem McKenzie (concussion), LB Antonio Pierce (quadricep)
LIMITED PARTICIPATION IN PRACTICE

CLEVELAND BROWNS
Practice Report

LIMITED PARTICIPATION IN PRACTICE
Thursday S Mike Adams (foot), DT Shaun Rogers (shoulder), RB Jason Wright (knee)
FULL PARTICIPATION IN PRACTICE
Thursday WR Donte' Stallworth (quadricep), G Ryan Tucker (hip) 
 
Pierce: Just getting some rest. No worries.
 
Hixon: DB R.W. McQuarters will handle punt returns. I’m not sure Hixon has passed Steve Smith for three receiver sets, so his value is limited despite last week’s fine game.
 
Winslow: Still has the sniffles. Should be ready by Monday.
 
Adams: Downgraded on Thursday. Filling in for Jones, and now he’s dinged. Manning is going to light up this secondary.
