Bills rookie RB Marshawn Lynch was not at practice Wednesday. Lynch has a very sore ankle and is looking very iffy for Sunday. Coach Dick Jauron said, "I would say we're not overly optimistic.” On Monday Jauron said Lynch felt he would be able to play Sunday. Today, when asked if it could be more than a one-week injury Jauron responded in the affirmative.
---
Look for Bills rookie RB Dwayne Wright and veteran RB Anthony Thomas to fill in for Lynch if he can’t go Sunday.
---
QB Rex Grossman is expected to start for the Bears this weekend as they travel to Seattle to play the Seahawks. For his part, Brian Griese was not at team practice Wednesday.
---
Denver WR Javon Walker (knee) did not take team drills Wednesday, however he was able to do some light route running today. That said, Coach Shanahan still considers Walker more of a long shot for Monday night. Walker said, “taking it day-to-day.”
---
RB Travis Henry stayed on the sidelines Wednesday resting his knee injury. On the plus side, his MRI examination was “good,” according to Coach Shanahan. Henry could return to practice Thursday.
---

---
Cardinals QB Kurt Warner (left elbow) took reps Wednesday. However, Warner said he is still very sore with his bad left elbow. Last week, the Cardinals pulled Warner on the goal line in favor of
Tim Rattay. The feeling is Rattay can hand off the ball better than Warner due to his sore elbow. This move could cost Warner more than a TD or two moving forward.
---
Falcons QB Byron Leftwich (ankle) got some limited practice in Wednesday. Afterwards, Coach Bobby Petrino said, “he looked pretty good.” he also added, “The thing you worry about is how the ankle will react in the morning,” and “If we were going today,

---
As he typically is, Falcons RB Warrick Dunn (team decision) took reps off Wednesday.
---
Falcons RB Jerious Norwood (ankle) is improving and he got some limited reps in at practice Wednesday. Coach Bobby Petrino said, “His quickness was back along with his cutting. The other day I thought he had a chance to go, but he couldn’t make the cutback toward his left.”
---
Falcons WR Joe Horn (hamstring) did not practice Wednesday.
---
Ravens QB Steve McNair (left shoulder) did not practice Wednesday and was ruled out for the week. As we told you several days ago, look for McNair to likely miss 2+ weeks.
---
Ravens WR Demetrius Williams (ankle) did not practice Wednesday and was ruled out for the week.
---
Ravens TE Todd Heap (thigh) did not practice Wednesday. He’s still not 100% and his status as an elite Fantasy TE is fading fast this year. Plan accordingly.
---
Panthers RB DeShaun Foster (toe) did not practice Wednesday. Foster has rested on Wednesday in the past and played well on Sunday.
---
At QB, Carolina’s David Carr was healthy to practice Wednesday and has been cleared to play. Still, the team is calling the starting QB for this weekend day-to-day.
---
Carolina WR Steve Smith (shin) did not take reps Wednesday. We'll have more Thursday.

---
Packers TE Bubba Franks (knee) did not practice Wednesday and was ruled out for the week. That remains good Fantasy news for TE
Donald Lee (rib), who took reps Wednesday.
---

Colts WR Aaron Moorehead (back) did not practice Wednesday.
---
Colts TE Bryan Fletcher (calf) was limited at practice Wednesday.
---
Colts TE Dallas Clark (concussion) practiced on Wednesday.
---
Chiefs RB Larry Johnson (foot) did not practice Wednesday and was ruled out for Week #11.
---
Vikings RB Adrian Peterson (knee) did not practice Wednesday and will not play this weekend. He could miss 3+ weeks and come back in somewhat limited fashion when he returns. Come week 14 or 15, the Vikings could be out of the race and at that stage they certainly would not want to rush Peterson and risk losing him for the start of 2008.
---

I play hurt, and I go out and perform the best way that I can."
