Ladell Betts suffered a left knee injury during the first quarter of Sunday’s game against the Cowboys and will not return, leaving the Redskins without their top two running backs.

Betts was making his second consecutive start in place of Clinton Portis, who hasn’t played because of a concussion. Betts rushed for 114 yards on 26 carries last week in a 27-17 victory over the Broncos.

Eighth-year pro Rock Cartwright took over for Betts on Sunday, with Quinton Ganther serving as the backup.

Redskins CB DeAngelo Hall left the game with a knee contusion, but he returned in the second quarter.

Browns kick-return maven Joshua Cribbs is active for Sunday’s game against the Lions. Cribbs returns to action just six days after leaving the field on a stretcher.

Cribbs injured his neck, but he escaped a concussion on the final play of Monday night’s loss to the Ravens. The NFL fined Baltimore’s Dwan Edwards $5,000 for the hit.

Redskins DT Albert Haynesworth is inactive for Sunday’s game against the Cowboys after missing practice all week because of an ankle injury. He had been listed as questionable.

Haynesworth has started all nine games for the Redskins this season.

Kedric Golston is expected to start in place of Haynesworth, who has 27 tackles and three sacks this season.

Haynesworth joins a growing list of Redskins stars who are out, including RB Clinton Portis, TE Chris Cooley and OT Mike Williams.

Vikings WR Bernard Berrian (hamstring) is active for today’s game against the Seahawks.

Berrian was able to play with the injury last week against the Lions, but he caught just three passes for 22 yards and no touchdowns.

Vikings CB Antoine Winfield (foot) again is inactive. He hasn’t played since Week 6.

The Seahawks will have just one of their two starting cornerbacks, both of whom suffered concussions last week. Marcus Trufant is active, and Josh Wilson is not.

NFL Network’s Jason LaCanfora reports that Saints S Darren Sharper is active, according to a league source.

Sharper missed last week’s victory over the Rams with a knee injury. He was limited in practice Wednesday and Thursday before fully participating Friday.

Sharper ranks second in the league with seven interceptions.

Falcons RB Michael Turner will not play Sunday against the Giants, NFL Network’s Jason La Canfora reports, citing a league source.

Turner didn’t practice all week after hurting an ankle and was listed as doubtful on the Falcons’ injury report. It’s a big blow for the Falcons because Turner, who made his first Pro Bowl last season, leads the team with 831 rushing yards and 10 touchdowns.

Making matters worse is that the Falcons also won’t have backup RB Jerious Norwood, who missed the previous four games because of a hip flexor injury. That means Jason Snelling most likely will make just the second start of his three-year NFL career.

The Falcons will have Pro Bowl WR Roddy White, who was limited in practice Thursday and Friday because of a knee injury.

Titans owner Bud Adams made another gesture to Bills fans Sunday, this time wishing them and their team luck in the next game and for the remainder of the season.

Adams took out a full-page color advertisement in the Buffalo News sports section following last week’s controversy. The NFL fined Adams $250,000 after he made an obscene gesture toward Buffalo fans while celebrating the Titans’ home victory over the Bills.

Adams offered an apology afterward.

“I do realize that those types of things shouldn’t happen,” Adams said in a statement. “I need to specifically apologize to the Bills, their fans, our fans and the NFL. I obviously have a great deal of respect for Ralph Wilson and the history we have shared.”

Adams didn’t offer another apology in the ad, but he wished the Bills luck against the Jaguars — who are one of the Titans’ biggest rivals.

Bills rookie DB Jairus Byrd took part in warmups and is active for Sunday’s game at Jacksonville, a league source told NFL Network’s Jason LaCanfora.

Byrd was limited in practice this week with a groin injury, but he hasn’t missed a game this season. He was listed as questionable on the team’s injury report.

Byrd leads the NFL with eight interceptions.

The Jaguars will be without starting LB Justin Durant (concussion), but safety Gerald Alexander (shoulder) is active.

Redskins DT Albert Haynesworth is being called a game-time decision, and he did travel to Dallas, but it’s unlikely he actually will play Sunday against the Cowboys, a league source told NFL Network’s Jason La Canfora.

Haynesworth didn’t practice this week because of an ankle injury.

Redskins secondary coach Jerry Gray said Friday on the Michael Irvin Show that Haynesworth would start. But Redskins coach Jim Zorn has termed Haynesworth’s status a game-time decision.

Haynesworth has battled injuries, but he has started every game for the Redskins this season. He’s listed as questionable on the team’s official injury report.

Falcons WR Roddy White will play Sunday against the Giants, a league source told NFL Network’s Jason La Canfora.

White was limited in practice Thursday and Friday with a knee injury, but he hasn’t missed a game this season. He’s officially listed as questionable.

Bengals RB Cedric Benson (hip) is listed as doubtful for Sunday’s game against the Raiders.

The Bengals signed former Chiefs RB Larry Johnson earlier in the week for running back depth. Cincinnati also has three-year pro Brian Leonard and rookie Bernard Scott at the position, but Johnson, a two-time Pro Bowl selection, has much more experience.

NFL Network’s Jason La Canfora said that Johnson took a majority of the snaps Thursday, according to a league source.

The NFL fined Titans CB Cortland Finnegan a total of $10,000 for two separate violations, a league source told NFL Network’s Jason La Canfora.

Finnegan was cited for a 15-yard facemask penalty in the second quarter of last Sunday’s game against the Bills and unnecessary roughness in the third quarter.

Falcons RB Michael Turner (ankle) is listed as doubtful and RB Jerious Norwood (hip) questionable for Sunday’s game against the Giants.

Jason Snelling likely would start for the Falcons if neither Turner nor Norwood is able to go.

Falcons WR Roddy White (knee) is listed as questionable.

Jaguars starting LB and second-leading tackler Justin Durant is doubtful to play in Sunday’s game against the Bills.

Durant says he suffered a “mild concussion” during the third quarter of last Sunday’s 24-22 road victory over the Jets, but he didn’t tell anybody and kept playing.

Durant doesn’t have a headache, but he said he feels “cloudy.” He underwent baseline testing Thursday but wasn’t cleared to practice.

Safety Gerald Alexander suffered a shoulder injury and is listed as questionable. Alexander missed last week’s game against the Jets and has started five games for the Jaguars this season.

The Cardinals have three defensive starters listed as questionable for Sunday’s game against the Rams.

Starting CB Bryant McFadden (ankle) and LB Karlos Dansby (shoulder) were limited in practice Friday. LB Gerald Hayes (back), who didn’t play in the Cardinals’ previous two games, fully participated.

Rams DE Chris Long (knee) was limited in practice Friday and also is questionable.
