POSITION: BACKUP IN CASE:
Quarterbacks:
Alex Smith (Concussion) Colin Kapernick
Status: OUT! Roll with the speedy Nevada QB this week against the shaky Saints D
Michael Vick (Concussion) Nick Foles
Status: OUT! Nick Foles looked average against the Cowboys and atrocious againstSKins
Blaine Gabbert (Shoulder - needs surgery)Chad Henne
Status: OUT! Gabbert was placed on injured reserve so look to Henne for the rest o year
Byron Leftwich (Shoulder/ Cracked Ribs) Charlie Batch
Status: OUT! He broke ribs Sunday night so look to Charlie Batch as the new leader
Jay Cutler (Concussion) Jason Campbell
Status: Active! He'll get the start in a key divisional game and boost the offense
New Starters: Ryan Lindley / Brady Quinn
Runningbacks:
Darren McFadden (high ankle sprain) Marcel Reece
Status: OUT! Marcel Reece almost got 100 yards receiving and rushing last week
Willis McGahee (Torn Knee - Injured Reserve) Ronnie Hillman
Status: OUT! Don't count out Lance Ball either in an unclear new backfield situation
LeSean McCoy (Concussion) Bryce Brown
Status:OUT! Monday night will be a skeleton crew for the Eagles. Former No.1 recruit Bryce Brown takes over against a Panthers D that struggles to stop the run
Darren Sproles (Hand - missed practice Thursday) Mark Ingram
Status: Late Game- TBD!
Fred Jackson (Concussion) C.J. Spiler
Status: ACTIVE! but on a snap count, there may be better options
New Starters: Jalen Parmalee / Chris Wells / James Starks
Isaac Redman = Active!
Wide Receivers:
Julio Jones (Hamstring - this one will be a true game time decision)Harry Douglas
Status: Active! But he'll be pretty limited so don't expect too much
Dwayne Bowe (Ribs- no practice all week!) Steve Breaston
Status: ACTIVE! Start as you normally would
Donnie Avery (Hip Injury - missed practice early is now limited) T.Y. Hilton
Status: ACTIVE! T.Y. Hilton has had big games in two of the last three games though
Antonio Brown (Knee Swelling) Emmanuel Sanders
Status: OUT! Jerricho Cotchery will miss this too which really hurts Charlie Batch
Percy Harvin ( Shoulder - missed practice all week) Jerome Simpson
Status: OUT! did not travel with the team so get him out of your lineups
Danny Amendola (Shoulder - very limited) Chris Givens
Status: LATE game - TBD
Andrew Hawkins (Knee - no practice all week) Mohammed Sanu
Status: OUT! You might want to consider another Bengal receiver with this matchup but not Armon Binns as he'll miss this one too
Tight Ends:
Dennis Pitta (Concussion - did not practice Thursday) Ed Dickson
Status: OUT! get ready to have a backup plan if you're starting him
Coby Fleener (Shoulder) Dwayne Allen
Status: OUT! This one was close but it looks like his college teammate misses another
Who's NOT playing today:
Richard Seymour DT (Raiders) - Seymour provides a good veteran presence when healthy
Jerricho Cotchery WR (Steelers) - Cotchery will miss the game as will Antonio Brown yikes!
Eric Wright CB (Buccaneers) - He reinjured an Achilles and could miss a month!
