Thanksgiving Week - Three Thursday Games: NE at DET; NO at DAL; CIN at NYJ

Quarterback

1. Aaron Rodgers GB at ATL
2. Philip Rivers SD at IND
3. Drew Brees NO at DAL
4. Michael Vick PHI at CHI
5. Peyton Manning IND vs. SD
6. Ben Roethlisberger PIT at BUF
7. Mark Sanchez NYJ vs. CIN
8. Kyle Orton DEN vs. STL
9. Jon Kitna DAL vs. NO
10. *Tom Brady NE at DET
Note: (Foot) Brady did not practice Tuesday - it's being called a precaution, but the fact that the Pats play Thursday bothers me.
Update: Officially listed as questionable, which raises greater concern, but at least we'll have the benefit of him playing first to set our lineups in time. ***THURSDAY ACTIVE ***
11. Donovan McNabb WAS vs. MIN
Update: (Hamstring) Full practice Wednesday.
12. Shaun Hill DET vs. NE
*** THURSDAY ACTIVE - QUADRICEPS ***
13. *Matt Schaub HOU vs. TEN
Note: Dealt with knee issues last week but still emerged with a decent game.
14. Ryan Fitzpatrick BUF vs. PIT
15. Matt Cassel KC at SEA
16. Jay Cutler CHI vs. PHI
17. Eli Manning NYG vs. JAC
Note: Down both Steven Smith and Hakeem Nicks now.
18. *Brett Favre MIN at WAS
Note: Favre will remain the starter under new interim coach Leslie Frazier. So long as the Vikings are still technically alive for a playoff spot, they won't consider benching him for Tarvaris Jackson.
Update: Limited practice Wednesday, as is custom now. ***SUNDAY UPDATE - ADD THE FLU TO HIS LIST OF PROBLEMS. STILL PLAYING, OF COURSE. ***
28. *Rusty Smith TEN at HOU
Note: Vince Young is on the IR with a thumb injury after his blowup with coach Jeff Fisher, and then was asked to leave a team meeting Monday. Chris Simms will be the backup this week, with Kerry Collins as the third quarterback.
*** SUNDAY UPDATE: MODEST UPGRADE, DUE TO OPPONENT. ***
19. David Garrard JAC at NYG
20. Joe Flacco BAL vs. TB
21. (prob. 25.) *Carson Palmer CIN at NYJ
Note: Missing practice with a foot injury, though the Bengals still expect that he'll play Thursday night against the Jets.
Update: Listed as probable, though he's still technically a game-time decision.
22. *Matt Hasselbeck SEA vs. KC
Note: Moving the team up and down the field well, just having trouble getting into the end zone.
23. Matt Ryan ATL vs. GB
24. Josh Freeman TB at BAL
25. Sam Bradford STL at DEN
29. *Jason Campbell OAK vs. MIA
Note: Campbell will start again this week despite getting pulled for Bruce Gradkowski last week. It didn't hurt Campbell that Gradkowski wasn't much better last week.
*** SUNDAY UPDATE - GRADKWOSKI STARTING AHEAD OF CAMPBELL ***
26. *Troy Smith SF at AZ
Note: Smith will start Monday night against the Cardinals despite the debacle against the Bucs.
27. Derek Anderson AZ vs. SF
30. *Tyler Thigpen MIA at OAK
Note: Thigpen took most of the first-team reps Monday, though Chad Henne got some action in while sporting a big brace for his knee.
Update: So far no clarification from the Dolphins on who will start. *** SUNDAY UPDATE - NO OFFICIAL WORD, BUT DOLPHINS LEANING TOWARDS STARTING HENNE. ***
31. (prev. 30.) *Jake Delhomme CLE vs. CAR
Note: Colt McCoy has a high ankle sprain, which might force the Browns to start Delhomme, though Mangini hasn't officially named him the starter yet.
32. *Jimmy Clausen CAR at CLE
Note: Clausen hasn't yet been cleared to play, but if he does get that clearance this week, he'll start ahead of Brian St. Pierre. St. Pierre had a sore throwing shoulder following his first career start last week.
Update: St. Pierre was limited in Wednesday's practice. Meanwhile, Clausen had a full practice. *** SUNDAY UPDATE - CLAUSEN WILL START. ***

Running Back
