Anyone wearing white and taking snaps Sunday in Pittsburgh is taking plenty of hits. One of them — WR/Wildcat QB Joshua Cribbs – won’t return to the game after suffering a head injury.

Dunta Robinson, DeSean Jackson taken off field

A violent collision between Falcons CB Dunta Robinson and Eagles WR DeSean Jackson in Sunday’s game left both players down on the turf for several minutes before they were taken off the field.

Eagles WR Jackson off to monster start

There is a perception that DeSean Jackson‘s value takes a hit when Kevin Kolb is starting. That maybe Jackson is Michael Vick‘s guy. Well, that notion can be put to rest.

This is why you start your fantasy stars

Drew Brees is on pace to have a huge game for fantasy owners against the Buccaneers.

Hillis OK to help Browns rookie QB McCoy vs. Steelers

Browns rookie QB Colt McCoy will make his first NFL start Sunday. The bad news? He’ll face the Steelers’ blitz-crazy defense. The good news? He’ll have bruising RB Peyton Hillis at his disposal.

Bears will play without LB Briggs vs. Seahawks

Bears LB Lance Briggs (ankle) will not play in Sunday’s game vs. the Seahawks. Briggs has been nursing a high-ankle sprain all season.

Lions’ Brown wonders which Eli will show up

Giants QB Eli Manning might be one of the biggest enigmas in the NFL.

Number of high-profile Colts dot team’s injury report

Seemingly every offensive player for the Colts is listed on the team’s injury report, but expect most of them to play. WRs Austin Collie (heel) and Pierre Garcon (hamstring), along with RBs Joseph Addai (neck) and Mike Hart (hip) all practiced on Friday but are listed as questionable. WR Anthony Gonzalez (ankle) is questionable but did not practice on Friday.

Bucs WR Williams practices, but questionable

Buccaneers WR Mike Williams (foot) will be a game-time decision because of a foot injury. The rookie — who has three touchdown in four games — was injured in last week’s win over the Bengals.

Bench Hillis, even if he does start against Steelers

How must it feel to be Browns rookie QB Colt McCoy right now? You are about to get your first NFL career start. But it comes against the Steelers. And if that is not bad enough — and that’s bad — your team’s best player is questionable.

Can Lions’ Johnson transform into a healthy player?
