Week 8 was much lighter in terms of injuries to key players than Week 7. Let's get to them and their fantasy implications:

Hakeem Nicks- is "day to day" after his MRI on Monday. He could be limited in practice, but for now it sounds like he will be able to play in Week 9. If he is out, Victor Cruz will start alongside Mario Manningham. 

Montario Hardesty- has a moderate tear of his right calf muscle and is expected to be sidelined at least two weeks in the best case scenario. If Peyton Hillis is also out, then the Browns will turn to Chris Ogbonnaya in Week 9.

Beanie Wells- told reporters after the game that he is expecting his knee-problems to be year-long, but there are no imminent threat of him being out. There was no update today.

Ahmad Bradshaw- injured his foot in the second half, but was able to return to the game. He has acknowledged that it was an aggravation of a preexisting injury, but it sounds like he will be playing in Week 9. Coach Tom Coughlin confirmed Bradshaw's foot is sore.

Joseph Addai- was active, but did not play a single snap as he was the emergency running back. Delone Carter and Donald Brown were unable to take advantage of this opportunity and it is possible that Addai could return next week. Confirmed that he was the emergency back in Week 8, it sounds like he is close to returning.

Kevin Kolb- he showed up to the Cardinals facility today with his turf toe, "swollen, black and blue." According to Adam Schefter, Kolb is questionable for the week. If Kolb is out, then backup John Skelton will start in his place.
