We break down the Thursday practice participation report for week 11 of the 2011 NFL season. For more on fantasy football, check out Fake Teams.
Thursday Night Football is officially a wrap and it is time to get ready for the full slate of Sunday games. Prior to last night's thrilling Broncos-Jets game, NFL teams released their practice participation reports for Thursday's practice sessions. The Patriots and Chiefs issues their first reports of the week for Monday Night Football.
The big name this week is Michael Vick. The Eagles quarterback sat out his second consecutive day of practice as he deals with broken ribs. Vince Young took all the first team snaps on Thursday and it might become more likely that VY takes the reins on Sunday. If VY does so, he could very well also be without one of his best wide receivers, with Jeremy Maclin sidelined with shoulder and hamstring issues. It is not looking good in Philadelphia.
In other news, Frank Gore was upgraded from DNP to limited and thinks he will play on Sunday. It will be interesting to see if the 49ers give backup Kendall Hunter a decent load of carries, particularly if the 49ers take a big lead. If Gore gets the start, he is your play, but if you have Kendall Hunter (and NOT Gore), he might be a decent flex option against the Cardinals questionable run defense.
Teams generally have formal practices Wednesday, Thursday and Friday and release practice participation and injury reports at the end of each session. Monday Night Football teams are a day later. For the participation reports, players are listed as Out (Definitely Will Not Play), Did Not Participate In Practice, Limited Participation in Practice, Full Participant In Practice.
