PAUR REPORT
Weekend Update: Week 9
We have a lot of injury situations to update in our Weekend Update . The good news is most of these game-time decisions look like they should be able to play this week. Nothing is ever certain with a game-time decision, though (obviously), so you always want to keep an eye on the inactives that come over Sunday. If you haven't checked it out, we do an Inactives Blog that is continuously updated until the start of games. The inactives usually start trickling over an hour before the start of games.
The Broncos signed veteran cornerback Ty Law on Friday. There is a good chance he even dresses for the Monday night game. Law is no longer a starter at this point of his career but can be a solid nickel back. He is a decent pickup for an already pretty good Broncos defense. Their secondary has allowed just four passing touchdowns all season.
Apparently, Cardinals receiver Anquan Boldin looked really good in practice Friday (according to ESPNs John Clayton). Boldin remains a game-time decision, though. He has been slowed by the injury the last several weeks and just can't seem to get over it. The Cardinals might be wise to hold him out a game to get him closer to 100 percent, but it will be tough for Boldin to sit if he had a strong showing in practice Friday.
The Colts suffered a big blow this week as safety Bob Sanders needs surgery to repair a torn biceps. He injured his arm during the Week 8 game. Sanders is done for the year. Sanders is a top run stuffer and does well in coverage. He is a difference maker defensively that will be missed. [Full Story]

Dolphins' Crowder, Ferguson ruled out
FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (AP) -Linebacker Channing Crowder and nose tackle Jason Ferguson will miss the Miami Dolphins ' game at New England on Sunday.
The Dolphins downgraded both players on their injury report to out, weakening their defense for the matchup against Tom Brady and the Patriots. Crowder missed last Sunday's win against the New York Jets with a left shoulder injury, and Ferguson has an elbow injury.
Reggie Torbor is expected to replace Crowder in the lineup and Paul Soliai is in line for the first start of his three-year career with Ferguson out. [Full Story]
