Injury Status: Week 9

Not sure how this is happening at the halfway point of the season, but there aren't a ton of injuries to report this week. Sure, we have some guys dinged and a few out for the season, but for the most part, the list of marquee players is surprisingly small for this time of the year. We know this can change in a hurry, though, so enjoy it while you can.

Calvin Johnson, WR, Lions . Johnson already is taking part in practice this week, which is a good sign. The Lions are cautiously optimistic Johnson will be ready to go this week. His knee injury is progressing pretty well. At this point, expect Johnson to play, barring a setback late in the week.

Donald Brown, RB, Colts . Brown remains slowed by a shoulder injury. He thought he could play last week, but was held out of action. Brown seems to have a decent shot at returning, but nothing is certain until we see how much he is able to practice this week. Consider Brown a game-time decision for Week 9. Joseph Addai would get almost all of the work at running back if Brown is out, again.

Brian Westbrook, RB, Eagles . Westbrook has been cleared for football activities and is already practicing in full this week. He should be just fine for the Week 9 game. Expect Westbrook to get near his normal workload in his first game back from the concussion. Rookie LeSean McCoy moves back to his backup role.

Anthony Gonzalez, WR, Colts . Gonzalez doesn't seem much closer to returning from his knee surgery. There are even reports Gonzalez is going to get a second opinion on the knee, which is never a good thing. We wouldn't count on Gonzalez returning any time soon.

Mario Manningham, WR, Giants . Manningham was a late scratch for the Week 8 game because of a shoulder injury. He was injured in practice late in the week. Manningham has been limited in practice this week, but is practicing some, which is a decent sign. He has a shot to play, but looks like a game-time decision at this point. Hakeem Nicks gets the larger role in the Giants offense if Manningham is out again this week. [Full Story]

Ginn tries to shake reputation

DAVIE, Fla. (AP) - Twice Ted Ginn Jr. left the New York Jets stumbling and lunging, grasping at and gasping for air.

With moves like that, maybe he can shake his reputation yet.

Ginn scored on consecutive kickoff returns of 100 and 101 yards, an unprecedented feat that took a total of 31 seconds. He's that fast. His many detractors might call him the fastest draft bust in Miami Dolphins history. [Full Story]
