Saturday Morning NFL Injury Updates

Here are some injury updates of players that could affect your fantasy football lineups.

1. Steven Jackson (St. Louis Rams) - Upgraded from questionable to probable. - Jackson hasn't had the season thus far that most people expected, mostly because the Rams won't commit to the run. There is some speculation that he may share some carries with Marshall Faulk this week because of the chest injury.

2. Darrell Jackson (Seattle Seahawks) - Listed as probable with a sore knee. This story didn't appear until later in the week, so it was somewhat of a suprise. Coach Holmgren is "pretty sure" that Jackson will play on Sunday in a tough matchup against the Redskins.

3. Joe Horn (New Orleans Saints) - Horn is suffering from a hamstring injury and is currently listed as a game time decision. These things can go either way so its usually best to check your sources before you start a player like this. Chris Mortensen of ESPN always gives injury updates on the Sunday morning show before the game. This is always a good place to check.

4. Isaac Bruce (St. Louis Rams) - Bruce is suffering from turf toe and is iffy for Sunday. Look for Kevin Curtis to have nice numbers if Bruce is unable to play.
