Week 8 Thursday Practice: Injuries Report

For reference, Wednesday's report: http://fantasysportscoach.blogspot.com/2011/10/week-8-wednesday-practice-injuries.html

There were a few positive updates on some of the players listed in yesterday's post. Jahvid Best and Sam Bradford are still expected to be out and I won't mention them again in either the space below or in Friday's report unless there are unexpected news. Players that were not mentioned yesterday will appear below the updates for yesterday (and in bold).Here are the major injury related news from Thursday's practice around the NFL:

Andre Johnson- practiced for a second straight day and according to coach Gary Kubiak he will be a dreaded game time decision.

Adrian Peterson- returned to limited practice on Thursday and is expected to play in Week 8.

Joseph Addai- he missed practice for a second straight day and the Colts are waiting to hear from team doctors. As stated in yesterday's post, "at this point it's too early to tell if he will be available for Sunday or not. After all, he played Week 7 and did not practice until Friday."

Mark Ingram- he missed practice again, but coach Sean Payton has not ruled him out. If he is out Chris Ivory could vulture some goal line carries.

Daniel Thomas- he returned to a limited practice on Thursday and should play against the Giants.

Beanie Wells- he returned to a limited practice on Thursday and signs points toward him playing Week 8, but exercise caution when counting on the fragile Wells.

Peyton Hillis- took the first team reps on Wednesday in limited practice, but did not practice today due to his hamstring flaring up with soreness. He is questionable at this point.

Matthew Stafford- he practice for a second straight day and worked with the first team offense in Thursday's limited practice. Barring a set back, he should be ready to go against the Broncos this Sunday.
