There are a ton of injuries this week to keep an eye on as kickoff approaches. Here?s a game by game look at all the relevant ones.
**Important game-time decision
BROWNS vs. RAVENS
Jamal Lewis (hamstring) is out. Jerome Harrison and James Davis will split the carries.
Phil Dawson (calf) will be replaced by Billy Cundiff.
STEELERS vs. BENGALS
Cedric Benson (ankle) missed a couple practices but is good to go in a brutal matchup.
Chris Henry (quad) revealed that a strained quad has bothered him for a month, but he?s going to play Sunday.
REDSKINS vs. LIONS
**Clinton Portis (ankle) will be a game-time decision, even though the Redskins expect him to play. Expect some extra work for Ladell Betts, but Portis has to be in lineups for this matchup if he?s active.
Jason Campbell (foot) is certain to start.
JAGUARS vs. TEXANS
Maurice Jones-Drew was on the injury report with a knee injury but it was never a concern. He?s ready to go.
Kevin Walter (hamstring) is listed as probable despite being limited in practice every day this week. He?ll start but has to be rusty after missing about a month.
Andre Davis will likely miss the game with a concussion.
49ERS vs. VIKINGS
Frank Gore (ankle) was limited all week but will start.
Adrian Peterson (back) was limited in Wednesday?s practice but is fine. Nothing to worry about.
**Percy Harvin is struggling with migraine headaches and is a game-time decision.
FALCONS vs. PATRIOTS
**Randy Moss (back) was a late addition to the injury report after missing practice Friday. He practiced in full on Wednesday and Thursday, but he?s a game-time decision.
**Wes Welker (knee) didn?t practice Friday and will also be a game-time decision.
Julian Edelman (ankle) was limited in practice and is a game-time decision.
Jason Elam (hamstring) is fine and will be kicking.
Jerious Norwood (concussion) isn?t expected to play. Jason Snelling will back up Michael Turner.
CHIEFS vs. EAGLES
**Dwayne Bowe (hamstring) is a game-time decision after practicing with a wrap on his leg Friday.
Donovan McNabb will rest his ribs as Kevin Kolb gets another start.
**Brian Westbrook (ankle) is expected to be active but could be on a snap count.
DeSean Jackson (groin) will start but is hurt by Kolb?s arm.
Kevin Curtis (knee) is expected to sit out and Jeremy Maclin will start.
PACKERS vs. RAMS
Brandon Jackson (ankle) is out, DeShawn Wynn is the third-down back again.
GIANTS vs. BUCS
Domenik Hixon (knee) is expected to miss the game.
Mario Manningham (shoulder) will start but has a tough matchup with the Bucs? physical corners.
Antonio Bryant?s knee isn?t close to 100 percent but he may try to give it a go. Don't expect much.
Maurice Stovall (knee) will miss the game and Brian Clark?s role will expand.
Cadillac Williams (knee) is expected to play but shouldn?t be in fantasy lineups. His knee is flaring up and Derrick Ward will start vs. his former team.
SAINTS vs. BILLS
Mike Bell (knee) is out, Pierre Thomas and Lynell Hamilton will split carries.
Lance Moore (hamstring) is out, but Drew Brees won't miss him too much.
Shawn Nelson (shoulder) will probably miss the game, Derek Fine will take his spot but isn?t a fantasy option.
BEARS vs. SEAHAWKS
Matt Hasselbeck (ribs) won?t play. Seneca Wallace?s dink-and-dunk game is on.
T.J. Houshmandzadeh (back) is good to go but is hurt by Wallace?s style.
TITANS vs. JETS
Bo Scaife (knee) is expected to miss another game, giving Jared Cook another look.
Rob Bironas (ankle) is questionable, but the Titans haven?t signed another kicker as of this post so it looks like he?ll go.
Mark Sanchez (knee) is certain to start against the Titans? secondary that has been the worst in the NFL through two weeks.
BRONCOS vs. RAIDERS
**Knowshon Moreno (groin) is a game-time decision in a 4:15 start. Correll Buckhalter would be the main ball-carrier if Moreno can?t go.
**Brandon Stokley (thigh) is also a game-time decision. If the game was Friday, Stokley wouldn?t have played according to the Denver Post.
DOLPHINS vs. CHARGERS
LaDainian Tomlinson (ankle) is out, it?s the Darren Sproles show again.
COLTS vs. CARDINALS
Steve Breaston (knee) is a game-time decision again and should be on fantasy benches.
Anquan Boldin (hamstring) is close to 100 percent and is good to go.
COWBOYS vs. PANTHERS
**Marion Barber (quad) will be a game-time decision. All signs point to him sitting out, with Felix Jones and Tashard Choice splitting carries.
