If he plays at all, Trent Richardson is only expected to see spot duty thanks to a bum ankle. Montario Hardesty will get the lion's share of the load in the meaningless matchup with the Steelers. [Update: Richardson has now been declared out.]
Keep an eye on Matt Forte's playing status, as he is likely to be a game-time decision. With no Michael Bush
to fall back upon, the Bears certainly need their starter in a must-win
game. But his latest ankle injury may prove too painful to overcome so
quickly. [Update: Forte has been upgraded to probable.]After suffering a setback in practice, Jonathan Stewart (ankle) is not expected to be ready for the Panthers' finale. That leaves the workload in DeAngelo Williams' unsteady hands again. I reminded you last week that he couldn't be trusted. Did you listen?
A hip injury has kept Mike Wallace off the practice field all week, and it could force him out of Sunday's contest. That means that we've likely seen the last of the up-and-down speedster in a Steelers uniform.
Those who've been holding onto Rob Gronkowski (arm, hip) in hopes that he would be available for the last game or two of the regular season are about to be very disappointed. He's been a limited participant in practice for the past week, but there's little indication he will be activated prior to the playoffs.
More Saturday updates:
Both Brandon Weeden and Colt McCoy will miss Week 17 for the Browns, leaving the QB role in the hands of the great Thaddeus Lewis. With Trent Richardson also missing in action, could there be a better defensive play than the Steelers on Sunday?
Pierre Thomas is out for Sunday's matchup, but Chris Ivory will be back in the Saints' RB rotation along with Darren Sproles and Mark Ingram.
Why MJD waited until now to undergo foot surgery on his ankle is beyond me. But he did.
The 49ers put Mario Manningham on IR. He's done.
Mike Nugent has also gone to IR. Josh Brown will close out the season as the Bengals' kicker.
