For now, this is a situation to monitor. Forte remains a must-start, but consider the potential impact on opposing defenses with Cutler likely out for an extended period of time.

Peterson will undergo an MRI on the ankle on Monday, but he does not think the injury will cost him any time. The MRI will tell us more, including whether it’s a more serious high ankle sprain. Peterson was putting some weight on the ankle on the sideline, so there is some reason for optimism. Monday will tell us plenty more.

The injury came early in Minnesota’s 27-21 loss to Oakland. Peterson hurt his ankle on a seemingly normal tackle, and left the game. He wouldn’t return, but X-rays of the ankle were negative, leaving Peterson’s status up in the air for the rest of Minnesota’s schedule.

Stafford does have a good matchup against the Panthers this week and, if his finger really isn’t bothering him, could be in for a big day. Just don’t be alarmed by the gloves he will be wearing. He’s been using them in practice all week.

Ponder faces Oakland’s No. 22-ranked pass defense on Sunday and that could go a long way to help him build up his confidence in the league. Results similar to what he put up against the Panthers could be expected.

Freeman will need to have a strong day passing when he goes up against the Packers. A quick-scoring Green Bay could force the Bucs to have Freeman throw early and often.

Jones will be a game-time decision on Sunday.

Johnson is officially listed as “Questionable” with his left shoulder injury and should be regarded as being a game-time decision.

Nelson has 16 receptions for 176 yards and two touchdowns over the last four weeks and 39 receptions for 433 yards and four touchdowns on the season.

Wells has been bothered by a knee injury that head coach Ken Whisenhunt expects will require managing throughout the season.

“I respect Beanie because this isn’t easy and he’s fighting through it,” Whisenhunt said on Thursday according to The Arizona Republic. “You know that we’re going to have to manage it just so he can go on Sundays.”

What role Jones will play on Sunday is unclear. Jones had 14 receptions prior to his injury and could be used on third downs. Jones may also be the Cowboys’ primary kick returner, a role he has not filled since 2009. Over his first two seasons in the league, Jones averaged 24.2 yards on 46 kick returns, bringing one return back 98 yards for a touchdown.

A 2010 second-round pick out of Tennessee, Hardesty still leads the Browns with 244 rushing yards this season. While Hardesty practiced, he did not participate in team drills and is expected to be a game-time decision, though it’s unlikely that he’ll play against the Jaguars.

Wide receiver Josh Cribbs had 21 rushing yards on three carries last week and may also factor in the offensive game plan in a ball-carrying role against Jacksonville.

For his career, Young has started 47 games in his six-year career, throwing for 8,098 yards with 42 touchdowns and 43 interceptions. Like Vick, the 6-foot-5, 230-pound Young is adept at using his legs to make plays, running for 1,382 yards and 12 touchdowns.

In Atlanta, Julio Jones sat out practice all week and is listed as questionable, but would seem to be a long-shot to play. Harry Douglas would get the start opposite Roddy White if Jones is deactivated this Sunday. Douglas was limited in practice on Wednesday but a full participant Thursday and Friday.

For those wondering, the designations break down as follows:

Teams generally have formal practices Wednesday, Thursday and Friday and release practice participation and injury reports at the end of each session. Monday Night Football teams are a day later. For the participation reports, players are listed as Out (Definitely Will Not Play), Did Not Participate In Practice, Limited Participation in Practice, Full Participant In Practice.

Here are the notable names from Thursday practice participation reports (compared with Wednesday’s practice participation reports):

If the 49ers are able to grab an early lead against the Cardinals, it would not be at all surprising to see Hunter get some additional carries. While Gore likes to get his touches, he has also acknowledged a willingness to give up some carries if it helps the team win. Gore claims he was just resting, but the knee bothered him enough for the 49ers to keep him on the sideline for much of the second half this past Sunday. I suspect they’ll be careful with him this week as well.
