njury review: Vick to replace Kolb for Week 2

I’m kicking the junk food, fast food, fried food and bread to the curb. The time has come to get ready for the future. Sure, I’m old, decrepit and probably in need of a new knee sometime in the future.
The goal for 2011 is plain and simple. Be Swoll.
And that means getting my body finely-tuned and ready to roll for nfl throwback jerseys
the open casting call that will occur for defensive linemen once the NFL brings forth the proposed 18-game schedule.
We wonder aloud whether Week 1 of this NFL season was particularly laden with injuries or whether we just merely forgot opening weekends past. No, this week’s action seemed particularly brutal.
I’m still trying to cut that Rocky music swell properly to fit the images of the Green Bay-Philadelphia contest from Week 1. It rates among the hardest-hitting, knock-down, drag-out games I’ve seen in awhile. That’s where this week’s trip to the "Fantasy Infirmary" begins.
Ryan Grant is out for the season. Fourth-year running Brandon Jackson will step into Green Bay’s top spot, as we’re all aware, this week against the Bills. Dimitri Nance, a rookie tailback out of Arizona State, was signed off of the Atlanta practice squad to fill Grant’s roster slot. The 5-foot-10, 220-pound tailback averaged 4.2 yards per carry with six touchdowns in 2009.
2 Kevin Kolb and linebacker Stewart Bradley won’t play in Week 2. It’s "The Michael Vick Show" in a beautiful matchup against the Lions this weekend.
Cedric Benson participated fully in Thursday’s workout after being limited because of a shoulder injury on Wednesday.
Giants wideout Hakeem Nicks was one of the top performers of Week 1, but he’s struggling with an ankle injury and couldn’t practice on Thursday, per Zach Berman of The Newark Star-Ledger.
Berman also reports that center Shaun O’Hara left Thursday’s practice because of continuing issues with his ankle. O’Hara will try to play on. He better, because I’ve gone hoarse talking up the New York running game for Sunday night!
Early Doucet, who looked good early, left Sunday’s game with a sports hernia. He’ll miss 4-6 weeks or longer because of the injury, per The Arizona Republic. Steve Breaston stepped up big in his action. We already knew Breaston would be a big factor in this offense. The player to watch is Stephen Williams, who had a nice preseason (I know. You wanted me to start ranting about Max Komar!).
Chris "Beanie" Wells is still a mystery for Week 2 against the San Francisco 49ers jersey
Falcons. He did some individual work during Wednesday’s workout, but hasn’t run through a full workout just yet. Tim Hightower figures to be the lead back for this week’s effort, regardless of Wells’ availability.
Darrelle Revis is dealing with a hamstring injury, per The Newark Star-Ledger, but the all-world cornerback is expected to be ready to battle Randy Moss this weekend. Moss was famously contained as part of the founding season of "Revis Island." Somehow, I was cautiously optimistic that Moss would post a sizable game this week before the injury news was released. Is Revis playing possum?
We already know about Kris Jenkins’ season-ending injury on the Jets’ defensive interior. His absence changes the complexion of the run defense somewhat. I don’t expect the Patriots to attack the middle with Fred Taylor, but a little bulldozing with Ben Jarvus-Ellis (ahh, there he is) and Slammin’ Sammy Morris might be in order. Taylor has "ninja" status for this week.
Percy Harvin has reportedly found some help for his sleep apnea and migraines, but the Vikings receiver missed Thursday’s practice because of a hip injury. Judd Zulgad of The Minnesota Star-Tribune advises that Brad Childress acknowledged a bruised hip in a KFAN radio appearance Thursday and sounded optimistic that Harvin will be available against the Dolphins. This sounds like a game-time decision in the making.
Dallas fans breathed a sigh of relief as tackle Marc Colombo and Kyle Kosier returned to work in preparation for Sunday’s game against Chicago, per The Dallas Morning News. Both remain questionable as we head toward the weekend, but their return to the practice field does help alleviate some anxiety. We’ll have more on this Sunday morning.
Indianapolis safety Bob Sanders is out already following surgery on his biceps tendon. The Colts’ run defense is now exposed, as we’ve seen in years past (go watch Arian Foster sprinting around the field in Week 1).
Albert Haynesworth sprained his ankle during Wednesday’s practice and was limited in practice Thursday, per The Washington Post. Haynesworth’s absence would make the aforementioned Foster a virtual lock for a monster follow-up week.
The Bears lost an important part of the linebacker corps when the team placed Hunter Hillenmeyer on injured reserve because of a concussion. Lance Briggs (16 tackles) and Brian Urlacher get the headlines, but Hillenmeyer has long been a steady backup and plug-in option. He topped 100 tackles last year in place of the injured Urlacher.
Paul Posluszny racked up eight tackles and a sack in Week 1 against the Dolphins. Unfortunately, Posluszny sustained a right knee sprain in the contest and will be sidelined a minimum of 2-3 weeks, per The Buffalo News. The Bills are thin at linebacker, having lost Kawika Mitchell for the year as well. Keith Ellison slides into the starting lineup in Posluszny’s absence.
The Cleveland Plain-Dealer reports that quarterback Jake Delhomme remains in a walking boot after injuring his ankle against the Buccaneers. Delhomme did not practice on Thursday, putting Seneca Wallace under center with the first unit.
Russell Okung did not practice on Buffalo Bills jersey
Wednesday, per The Seattle Times, and Pete Carroll noted that his status for Week 2 against Denver is still in doubt as he recovers from a high-ankle sprain.
Linebacker Leroy Hill returns to the "Win Forever!" Seahawks following his one-game suspension.
