Player News

• Antonio Pierce (MLB) NYG

  Updated 11/20/09 6:31 PM

  Pierce is out indefinitely after an MRI exam surprisingly revealed a bulging disk in his neck.

  Impacts: The 31-year-old Pierce originally sustained a burner when the Giants played Arizona on Oct. 25. He had very little discomfort until practice this week, when the club's medical staff scheduled the MRI exam. The Giants (5-4) host the Atlanta Flacons on Sunday. New York, coming off its bye week, has lost four straight games.

• Jerious Norwood (RB) ATL

  Updated 11/20/09 4:53 PM

  Norwood practiced Friday for the second straight day after missing Atlanta's last four games with a hip flexor.

  Impacts: The Falcons (5-4) hope Norwood, who is listed as questionable for Sunday, can help stabilize his position when they visit the New York Giants (5-4). Pro Bowl running back Michael Turner is sidelined with a high ankle sprain and not expected to play. He did not practice this week and is listed as doubtful. Though Norwood is unlikely to start, the four-year veteran has spent most of his career as a backup to Turner and the retired Warrick Dunn.

• Marcus Stroud (DT) BUF

  Updated 11/20/09 2:38 PM

  Stroud was ruled out of Sunday's game against the Jaguars because of a knee injury that has prevented him from practicing.

  Impacts: This will hurt the Bills' run defense, and fantasy owners can take advantage by using Maurice Jones-Drew this week to gain some valuable points.

• Reggie Bush (RB) NO

  Updated 11/20/09 1:46 PM

  Bush has been held out of practice for the third straight day, and is listed as questionable for Sunday's game in Tampa Bay.

  Impacts: Bush came out of the St. Louis game with swelling and soreness in his left knee, which was surgically repaired twice in a three-month span a year ago.

• James Harrison (OLB) PIT

  Updated 11/20/09 1:46 PM

  Harrison was fined $5,000 for unnecessary roughness when he struck Bengals tackle Andrew Whitworth late.

  Impacts: The Steelers lost the game 18-12 to the first-place Bengals.

• Reggie Bush (RB) NO

  Updated 11/20/09 1:46 PM

  Bush has been held out of practice for the third straight day, and is listed as questionable for Sunday's game in Tampa Bay.

  Impacts: Bush came out of the St. Louis game with swelling and soreness in his left knee, which was surgically repaired twice in a three-month span a year ago.

• Garrett Wolfe (RB) CHI

  Updated 11/20/09 1:46 PM

  The Bears placed Wolfe on injured reserve Friday, ending his season. The team listed a kidney injury for Wolfe, who told the Chicago Tribune in a text message that he suffered a lacerated kidney on the opening kickoff of a game against Arizona on Nov. 8.

  Impacts: The Bears elevated running back Kahlil Bell from the practice squad to replace Wolfe. Wolfe carried the ball 22 times this season for 120 yards and one touchdown. He added nine special teams tackles and two receptions for 12 yards.

• Dwan Edwards (DE) BAL

  Updated 11/20/09 1:46 PM

  Edwards plans to appeal the $5,000 fine he received for a hit delivered to Cleveland Browns wide receiver Joshua Cribbs on Monday night.

  Impacts: Edwards said Friday he will appeal in an effort "to get some of it back."' He said the fine was levied because the hit came at a time when Cribbs "supposedly shouldn't have reasonably expected it."

• Steve Smith (WR) CAR

  Updated 11/20/09 12:26 PM

  Smith had seven catches for 87 yards and 1 TD Thursday in the Panthers' 24-17 loss to Miami.

  Impacts: Smith has 11 catches _ three for touchdowns _ in his last three games, as Jake Delhomme has started to look for him more.

• Jake Delhomme (QB) CAR

  Updated 11/20/09 12:26 PM

  Delhomme was 19 of 42 for 227 yards and one TD and one INT on Thursday in a 24-17 loss to Miami.

  Impacts: Delhomme had gone three straight games without a touchdown before Thursday. He gets a chance to bounce back against the New York Jets on Nov. 29 - the first of two games at Giants Stadium for him with a trip to face the Giants set for Dec. 27.

• Jonathan Stewart (RB) CAR

  Updated 11/20/09 12:06 PM

  Stewart had 12 carries for 42 yards and Thursday in the Panthers' 24-17 loss to Miami.

  Impacts: Stewart had two touchdowns five days earlier against Atlanta, but it was a different story against the defending AFC East champion Dolphins.

• Davone Bess (WR) MIA

  Updated 11/20/09 10:54 AM

  Bess had six catches for 63 yards in a 24-17 victory at Carolina on Thursday.

  Impacts: Bess could be more of a factor in Miami's passing game after this effort. The Dolphins play the Bills next in Buffalo.
