Week 16-- 10 playersto start and 10 to sit

10 players to start: Quarterbacks - David Garrard, Jon Kitna (Saturday), Matt Cassel, Matt Ryan; Running backs- Tashard Choice (Saturday), Steven Jackson, Danny Woodhead, Matt Forte; Receivers - Vincent Jackson, Danny Amendola

10 players to sit: Quarterbacks - Mark Sanchez, Carson Palmer; Running backs - Ronnie Brown, Fred Jackson, LaDainian Tomlinson, Brandon Jacobs; Receivers- Chad Ochocinco, Santonio Holmes, Sidney Rice, Lance Moore

Be advised that Kansas City tight end Tony Moeaki (consussion) is out this week as well as New Orleans back Pierre Thomas (ankle). Monitor San Diego tight end Antonio Gates who has a nagging right foot injury. He is likely out.
Jacksonville receiver Mike Sims-Walker (ankle) is listed as doubtful and unlikely to play as well.
Also note that San Diego receiver Malcolm Floyd had a setback on Friday with his hamstring injury and is iffy for his Monday night game.

The good news is it is likely Arizona back Beanie Wells, New Orleans back Reggie Bush and Minnesota receiver Sidney Rice will play in Week 11. Rice has been out all season recovering from hip surgery. He should make an immediate impact with the Vikings who have Percy Harvin and Bernard Berrian banged up.
Clinton Portis has been cleared to play this week but his backup Ryan Torain is out.

All week there has been concern whether Atlanta Falcons receiving phenom Roddy White would start tonight against the Baltimore Ravens in a rare mid-season Thursday night start.
White injured his knee last week and had to play the second half with a brace. He missed practice Monday and Tuesday, was limited on Wednesday and enters tonight's game as questionable on the injury report.

But the Atlanta Falcons' web site is reporting that White WILL START tonight. While the Ravens' defense is ranked 9th in the league and safety Ed Reed has three interceptions in his last two games since returning from injury, the Falcons are nearly unbeatable at home.
Quarterback Matt Ryan is 17-1 at the Georgia Dome and is one of the most accurate QBs the Ravens will face this season.
Start Roddy White with confidence along with Matt Ryan and tight end Tony Gonzalez.

Another injury to monitor for this weekend (Week 10) is Giants receiver Steve Smith who injured his pectoral muscle in practice today (Thursday) and was unable to stay on the field. The fear is the muscle could be torn forcing extended loss of playing time. It is unlikely he will play Sunday but monitor his status the next 24 hours.

Also, (and this is killing me since I traded for the guy) Arizona back Beanie Wells (knee injury) missed practice on Thursday and is questionable for Sunday. Wells said on the Cardinals' web site he is still a go for Sunday but he said that last week and ended up carrying the ball once in Week 9. Ouch.

Migraine headaches continue to plague Minnesota receiver Percy Harvin who sat out practice today (Thursday) and could sit out this Sunday. If that's the case, watch for the Vikings to activate Sidney Rice and put him on the field this week. Rice has been recovering from hip surgery and if you patiently have kept him on your bench, get ready to tap that activate button in Week 10.

The injuries keep lingering and piling up in the NFL.

One of the biggest injuries is to Dallas quarterback Tony Romo who is out at least 6-8 weeks with an injured collarbone. Some scoff at whether aging/veteran backup Jon Kitna can fill in for him.
I believe Kitna will be the spark the Cowboys need. This could very well be Kitna's last hurrah in his career and he will likely make the most of it. He has the offensive weapons, the talent and the experience to have success.

Indianapolis receiver Austin Collie had surgery on his right thumb and is expected to miss at least a game, most likely more. Joseph Addai is also hurting and will likely be out in Week 8. Receiver Anthony Gonzalez should pick up the slack for Collie and former UConn standout Donald Brown should be the starter until Addai returns.

Panthers running back DeAngelo Williams has been missing practice this week with a foot injury. Keep an eye on his situation. If he doesn't practice Thursday and Friday he will likely sit out this week. He rushed for about 1,100 yards last season but has been held to only 367 yards on 87 carries in six games this season.

Another player to monitor is Denver back Knowshon Moreno who has tweaked his right hamstring. His practice status is iffy for Thursday and Friday.

Injuries continue to be a problem in the NFL with the Green Bay Packers hit the hardest lately. QB Aaron Rodgers suffered a concussion in Week 5 and is likely out for Week 6. Tight end Jermichael Finley is in worse shape after suffering a knee injury. He needed surgery and is out at least eight weeks, possibly the rest of the season.
San Diego back Ryan Mathews has an ankle injury and missed practice on Wednesday. Monitor his situation.
New Orleans back Pierre Thomas continues to be in pain with an ankle injury and hasn't practiced. Don't hold your breath if you need him this weekend.
Oakland back Darren McFadden (hamstring) and Houston receiver Andre Johnson (ankle) have been improving and practicing on a limited basis. Both are expected to return in Week 6 but their effectiveness will be in question.
