Arizona Cardinals
Adrian Wilson, SS
Wilson has an undetermined ankle injury and has limited practice. Questionable for Week 2 against the Patriots.
Carolina Panthers
Jonathan Stewart, RB
Stewart practiced for the first time in two weeks on Wednesday. He says he is limited, but he is progressing. Coach Ron Rivera told the New Orleans press Stewart will be back this week, then told Carolina reporters that Stewart looked good in practice, but will be evaluated over the next few days. We'll see at game time if Stewart plays or not.

Dallas Cowboys
Jay Ratliff, DE
Ratliff has not practiced and is questionable for Week 2 against Seattle.
Detroit Lions
Chris Houston, CB
Houston hoped to practice on Wednesday to help determine his availability for the team's Week 2 game against San Francisco. He did not play against St. Louis because of a lingering ankle injury.
Detroit Lions
Calvin Johnson, WR
Johnson, AKA Megatron, was held out of practice on Wednesday because of a foot injury. The Lions are preparing for the 49ers, the only team last year to keep Johnson out of the end zone.
Green Bay Packers
James Starks, RB
Starks is listed doubtful for Week 2 against the Bears. Starks was in limited practice on Wednesday and coach Mike McCarthy expects him to return for Week 3. "I was glad James was able to practice today and had a chance to watch him practice. That was something I wasn't expecting. He's making progress and looked good out there today. We'll see how he feels Thursday. He'll probably be part of the plan next week. I don't know. Something unforeseen happens that's probably the only chance he'd have to play in the game Thursday night," said McCarthy.
Houston Texans
Antonio Smith, DE
Smith has been in limited practice and is questionable for Week 2 against Jacksonville.
Indianapolis Colts
Pat Angerer, LB
Angerer is still in limited practice and is questionable for Week 2 against Minnesota.
Indianapolis Colts

Minnesota Vikings
Jarius Wright, WR
Wright is the final player on the Vikings team to have an ankle injury. He too is questionable for Week 2 against Indianapolis.
New England Patriots
Shane Vereen, RB
Vereen may have more to worry about than his foot injury. Stevan Ridley tore up the Titans' defense during Week 1, while Vereen watched from the sidelines. Vereen is back to practice, but limited, and his contributions may be minimal at best.

"The trainers saw how confident I was and they allowed me to go Monday. I did everything besides special teams. It felt good, I just went out there to see what I could do and see if I had any limitations. I didn't aggravate it today and it felt good. I feel like I'm still not running how I used to but I still feel good out there," said Amukamara.
