Week 9 Injury Report – Fantasy Football

QB Jay Cutler, Denver Broncos
On the first play of their game two weeks ago, Broncos quarterback Jay Cutler injured his thumb. Although it originally looked serious, he seems to be 100% for Week 9 after the team’s bye week.

QB Carson Palmer and Matt Hasselbeck, Cincinnati Bengals and Seattle Seahawks
Both of these quarterbacks will be out at least another week.

RB Steven Jackson, St. Louis Rams
Just like last week, Steven Jackson is day to day. Last weekend, he didn’t play for the Rams. In Week 9, fantasy football owners should also be ready to set their lineups without him.

RB Joseph Addai and Dominic Rhodes, Indianapolis Colts
In recent weeks Dominic Rhodes has been carrying the load as Joseph Addai battled a hamstring injury. In Week 9, the roles look like they are going to switch with Addai starting and Rhodes injured.

RB Willie Parker, Pittsburgh Steelers
Willie Parker will try to play in Week 9 but that isn’t a sure thing at this point. Even if he can play, it would be best to keep him out of your fantasy football lineup until he is healthy and getting touches.

RB Larry Johnson and Jamaal Charles, Kansas City Chiefs
Larry Johnson is still battling his legal and personal problems and won’t play in Week 9. Jamaal Charles has an ankle injury that will keep him out. That means Kolby Smith will start.

TE Jason Witten, Dallas Cowboys
Jason Witten suffered a broken rib in last week’s game. While he was optimistic early on about being able to play, that is looking like a long shot.
