Thursday Night Football is a wrap as the Philadelphia Eagles season continues to fall apart before our very eyes. What looked like a potential dream season coming out of free agency has been an absolute nightmare. For fantasy purposes, LeSean McCoy is the only player worth consistently starting as DeSean Jackson's season is crumbling. It is fast approaching a point where the safe play is to bench him.
Week 13 NFL Injury Report, Thursday: Adrian Peterson, Michael Turner Remain Sidelined
We break down the Thursday practice participation report for week 13 of the 2011 NFL season. For more on fantasy football, check out Fake Teams.
As we look ahead to the rest of the Week 13 action, team's submitted their Thursday practice participation reports. Many of the big names that sat out Wednesday practices were once again sitting out Thursday. The New York Giants continue to have huge question marks, which could be good or bad news for Victor Cruz. Mario Manningham is a likely inactive this weekend and while Hakeem Nicks was supposedly just a precautionary DNP on Thursday, he is still a questionable start. It could mean a ton of passes to Victor Cruz, or he could be hounded by defenders all day. Cruz is a must start, but the impact of all these injuries is tough to figure.
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.
