Teams have released their first practice participation reports for Week 7. Here’s the status of some notable players.

The Cowboys likely will play this weekend without two of their key offensive components, WR Roy Williams and RB Felix Jones.

The Thursday injury report has been released and includes some notable players — Bengals RB Cedric Benson, Texans DE Mario Williams and Cowboys WR Roy Williams among them — sitting out for the second day in a row.

A number of big-name players failed to meet fantasy expectations in Week 1, but don’t get too worried too soon. It’s still just one week!

Denver Broncos QB Kyle Orton said earlier in the week he’s optimistic he’ll play in the season opener against the Cincinnati Bengals despite a dislocated right index finger on his throwing hand.

It’s easy to say, if they produce at an incredibly high level there won’t be a problem. Well, we have a problem, because in both situations Pro Bowl play is the bar.

Cowboys WR Roy Williams hurt his left wrist during Sunday’s morning practice and missed the afternoon session.

After being knocked down, bloodied and bruised last season, the Bengals appear ready to get up off the canvas and fight back in 2009.
