Colts have 17 probable, one questionable

Jan 22, 2010

The Colts still have 18 names on their injury report. All but one of the players, however, has been listed as probable for Sunday's AFC title game.

The only player questionable for the showdown with the Jets is defensive back Jerraud Powers, who missed practice all week with a foot injury.

The probable players are running back Joseph Addai (shoulder), Antoine Bethea (back), defensive back Ervin Baldwin (shin), linebacker Gary Brackett (calf), defensive back Melvin Bullitt (shoulder), tight end Dallas Clark (illness), tackle Ryan Diem (elbow), defensive end Dwight Freeney (foot), linebacker Cody Glenn (back), defensive tackle Antonio Johnson (shoulder), tackle Charlie Johnson (foot), defensive end Robert Mathis (knee), guard Jamey Richard (shoulder), tight end Jacob Tamme (ankle), tackle Tony Ugoh (knee), kicker Adam Vinatieri (right hip), receiver Reggie Wayne (knee).

The 17 probable players fully participated in practice on Friday, with the exception of tackle Tony Ugoh, who was rested.

We'd hate to see how many Colts would have been on the injury report if they hadn't tanked it Weeks 16 and 17.

Texans Beat: Expectation is WR Nico Collins (hamstring) good to go for Week 10

According to KPRC 2 Sports’ Aaron Wilson, Nico Collins is trending upward entering Week 9’s matchup against the New York Jets. While he can’t be cleared off the injured reserve until Nov. 4, the expectation is he’ll be good to go when the Detroit Lions arrive in Week 10.

Fantasy Impact:

Collins was placed on the injured reserve following Week 5’s win over the Buffalo Bills after tweaking his hamstring in the first quarter. Week 9 will be his fourth game missed. The timing couldn't be better for the Texans, who have now lost Stefon Diggs for the season with a torn ACL.

Panthers have no plans to trade RB Chuba Hubbard

Pro Football Talk

Jordan Schultz of Fox Sports, though, reports the Panthers have no plans to trade cornerback Jaycee Horn or running back Chuba Hubbard.

Fantasy Impact:

Hubbard has played very well at RB and has been a pretty consistent player for his fantasy owners this season. He's averaged over 17 touches per game. However, owners need to remember that Jonathon Brooks is lurking on the IR and should be back sooner than later. It only makes sense for the Panthers to give Brooks work as the season goes on. He'll likely be eased into thing at first, but it seems like it's always been expected Brooks would at the very least split work, if not take on the lead back role for the Panthers.
