National Football League Foot Injuries


Arizona Cardinals
Kerry Rhodes, FS
Rhodes collected his first sack of the season in Week 3 against the Philadelphia Eagles. His foot injury appears to have cleared and he has participated in full practice.
Arizona Cardinals
John Skelton, QB
Skelton told the team's website that he's doing much better, but he isn't ready to come back yet. He has been a limited participant in practices over the week for Week 4 against Miami.
Arizona Cardinals
Adrian Wilson, SS
Besides the ankle injury Wilson has, he now also has a groin injury. It is unlikely he will play in Week 4 against Miami.
Buffalo Bills
Ruvell Martin, WR
Martin is suffering from an ankle injury and has not been in practice. It is unlikely he will play in Week 4 against New England.
Carolina Panthers
Jonathan Stewart, RB
Stewart returned to practice on Wednesday as the team prepares for Week 4 against Atlanta. He says the injury is with the same toe he had problems with before, but it's a different issue.
Chicago Bears
Matt Forte, RB
Forte returned to practice on Wednesday and believes he can play in Week 4 against Dallas. "I went through all the routes and everything. I can sprint. So I'll be good to go," said Forte. Coach Lovie Smith isn't quite as optimistic though: "We have said he's making progress every days, which he is, and it's no more than that. But I would hold off on... he's got a long ways to go still, but he is making progress and hopefully we will get him out there."
Cincinnati Bengals
Bernard Scott, RB
Scott has an unknown ankle injury and has not been in practice. It is unlikely he will participate in Week 4 against Jacksonville.
Cleveland Browns
Jason Pinkston, G
There is no information available on Pinkston's condition. He is listed as probable.
Dallas Cowboys
Barry Church, SS
Church is out for the season with a torn Achilles tendon, an injury he sustained in Week 3 against Tampa Bay. Church left the game after making three tackles and was unable to finish the previous two games for Dallas. He will have surgery on Monday to repair the tendon.
Dallas Cowboys
Jay Ratliff, DE
Ratliff missed Week 3 against Tampa Bay and there is no timetable for his return.
Denver Broncos
Chris Harris, SS
Harris's ankle injury is improving, and has participated in full practice. He is likely for Week 4 against Oakland.
Detroit Lions
Calvin Johnson, WR
Johnson caught 10 passes for 164 yards and a touchdown in the Lions' 44-41 overtime loss to Tennessee on Sunday. His ankle injury is acting up, and he has been in limited practice. He is probable for Week 4 against Minnesota.
Green Bay Packers
Jamari Lattimore, LB
Lattimore has participated in limited practice and is questionable for Week 4 against New Orleans.
Green Bay Packers
James Starks, RB
Wednesday was the first time Starks was a full participant in practice, as the team prepares for Week 4 against the Saints. Starks has been out with a toe injury.
Houston Texans
Mister Alexander, LB
Alexander has an ankle injury and has participated in full practice and is probable for Week 4 against Tennessee.
Houston Texans
Antonio Smith, DE
Smith is still out with an ankle injury and now has an illness that is keeping him in limited practice. He is questionable for Week 4 against Tennessee.
Indianapolis Colts
Pat Angerer, LB
Angerer's fractured foot is still resting and it will probably be another three weeks before he's able to return to the game. He is unlikely to be in Week 4.
Indianapolis Colts
Dwight Freeney, DE
Freeney continues to deal with an ankle injury. He did not play in Week 3 and will most likely miss Week 4.
Jacksonville Jaguars
Austen Lane, DE
Lane has participated in full practice and is probable for Week 4 against Cincinnati.
Kansas City Chiefs
Peyton Hillis, RB
Hillis hurt his ankle in Week 3 and was unable to practice on Wednesday. The Chiefs host rival San Diego on Week 4, and if Hillis is not able to play, Shaun Draughn will do backup duty for starter Jamaal Charles.
Kansas City Chiefs
Anthony Toribio, DT
Toribio is still recovering from an ankle injury and has been in limited practice. He is questionable for Week 4 against San Diego.
Miami Dolphins
Nolan Carroll, CB
Carroll has an Achilles tendon injury and has been in limited practice. He is questionable for Week 4 against Arizona.
Minnesota Vikings
Marvin Mitchell, LB
Looks like Mitchell has recovered and has finally participated in full practice. He is probable for Week 4 against Detroit.
Minnesota Vikings
Mistral Raymond, SS
Raymond was carted off the field on Sunday in Week 3 against San Francisco with a right ankle injury and did not return. He came up from his safety position to support on a running play to Frank Gore and his ankle appeared to get caught in the turf. He immediately grabbed his ankle as he fell to the ground and appeared to be in considerable pain. He has not been in practice and is likely not to play for Week 4 against Detroit.
Minnesota Vikings
Andrew Sendejo, DB
No new update for Sendejo, who is still in limited practice. He is likely to be out of the line up in Week 4 against Detroit.
New England Patriots
Brandon Deaderick, DE
Deaderick has an ankle injury and has not been in practice. He will not play in Week 4 against Buffalo.
New England Patriots
Justin Francis, DE
There is no new update on Francis, who has not been in practice and is questionable for Week 4 against Buffalo.
New England Patriots
Aaron Hernandez, TE
Hernandez did not play in Week 3 and is not likely to play in Week 4 either, as he recovers from what is feared to be a high ankle sprain.
New England Patriots
Shane Vereen, RB
Vereen had hoped to make his season debut in Week 3 against the Ravens, but that did not happen as he continues to deal with his foot injury. He has been in limited practice and is questionable for Week 4 against Buffalo.
New Orleans Saints
Turk McBride, DE
McBride still has an ankle injury and has not been in practice. It is unlikely he will be at Week 4 against Green Bay.
New York Giants
Hakeem Nicks, WR
Nicks was expected to practice on Thursday, and it is expected he will practice once a week for a while. He sat out Week 3 because of the lingering foot injury. Nicks told the New York Daily News, "The time off definitely helped. There was just too quick a turn around (on Thursday night) to go out and compete on it at the high level I expect. And I thought it was possible that I would be that much more ready for the Philadelphia game."
New York Jets
LaRon Landry, FS
Landry's heel is still bothering him, but he did play in Week 3 in the Jet's 23-20 victory over Miami. He had two tackles and returned an interception for a touchdown. He is probable for Week 4 against San Francisco.
New York Jets
Calvin Pace, OLB
Pace's Achilles tendon injury is clearing up, and he has been in full practice. He is likely for Week 4 against San Francisco.
New York Jets
Bart Scott, ILB
Scott has a toe injury and has not been in practice. It is unlikely he will play in Week 4 against San Francisco.
New York Jets
Isaiah Trufant, DB
Trufant is getting better from his ankle injury and has been in full practice. He is probable for Week 4 against San Francisco.
Oakland Raiders
Shawntae Spencer, CB
Spencer still has a foot injury and has not been in practice. He will not play in Week 4 against Denver.
Philadelphia Eagles
Brandon Graham, DE
Graham has an unidentified foot injury and has not been in practice. He will not play in Week 4 against the Giants.
San Diego Chargers
Shareece Wright, DB
No new update on Wright's foot injury. He has not been in practice and will not play in Week 4 against Kansas City.
San Francisco 49ers
Ted Ginn, WR
Ginn continues to miss time with the foot injury he sustained during the 49ers third preseason game. He has been in limited practice, but is unlikely to play in Week 4 against the Jets.
San Francisco 49ers
Isaac Sopoaga, NT
Sopoaga hurt his lower left leg in Sunday's game against the Vikings in Week 3. He will be X-rayed and re-evaluated.
San Francisco 49ers
Patrick Willis, ILB
49ers coach Jim Harbough said X-rays for Willis turned out well,  but he did not elaborate. He has been in full practice and is expected to play in Week 4 against the Jets.
St. Louis Rams
Michael Brockers, DT
Brockers is still recovering from a high ankle sprain, an injury he sustained in the preseason. He has been in limited practice, however, but it is unlikely he will play in Week 4 against Seattle.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers
E. J. Biggers, CB
No new information on Bigger's foot injury, besides that he has been in full practice and is likely to play in Week 4 against Washington.
Tennessee Titans
Kenny Britt, WR
Britt's ankle injury has kept him to practicing on the side this week. Coach Mike Munchak said, "He's progressing along pretty well. Because of the running and playing receiver, we'll have to see how he does the next couple of days."
Tennesse Titans
Mike Martin, DT
Martin is questionable for Week 4 against Houston as he has been in limited practice with an unknown foot injury.
Tennessee Titans
Colin McCarthy, LB
McCarthy was inactive again for Week 3 against the Lions, and it looks like it will be the same situation in Week 4 against Houston.
Washington Redskins
Pierre Garcon, WR
CSN Washington reports Garcon was been able to run routes in practice on Wednesday and said his injured foot is feeling a lot better, but he isn't sure if he'll be ready to play for Week 4 against Tampa Bay. "There's a lot of progress going along with the injury, and it's coming along very well. It's frustrating, but it's part of football. You have to deal with problems as they come. I'm trying to heal up as fast as I can to get back out there and help the team. It's just a lot of pain. It's got to take some time off to heal up properly and to get back out there to full strength."
