Week 16 Early Injury Reportby Mark Wimer, Exclusive to Footballguys.com
Quarterback
Bulger was once again sidelined due to his injured right shoulder. It doesn't look like he's going to make it back this year, as he stated last week that the shoulder isn't near to 100% healthy, and there are only 2 meaningless games left for the team. Jamie Martin took back over under center this past Sunday when rookie Ryan Fitzpatrick struggled vs. Philadelphia.
Fiedler is done for the season after having surgery to repair his injured shoulder.
Frerotte aggravated his index finger injury on his throwing hand during the game on Sunday - the severity of the re-injury isn't currently known. Sage Rosenfels will fill in for Frerotte if the injury is serious. "I just keep hurting it and it just won't heal while we're still in season." said Frerotte after the game.
Leftwich's ankle injury cost him another game on Sunday, as expected (listed as out on Friday).
Losman's shoulder injury kept him on the sidelines this past week (he was listed as questionable to play on Friday's injury report).
McCown was suffering from the flu when called on to sub for Warner, and could only stay in the game briefly - he should be ready to start next week, hopefully, as Warner is lost for the season due to the knee injury he suffered on Sunday.
Simms aggravated his sprained left thumb (he throws left handed) during the game on Sunday - he had to switch to holding his right hand to the top side when he's under center because receiving the snap in his left hand was causing him problems with the digit. He'll be evaluated further this week to make sure his throwing hand (left) is functional - right now, the team expects him to go during week 16.
Warner injured the MCL in his right knee and is out for the season. Right now, we expect Josh McCown to step in for the final 2 games of the season, but coach Green hasn't been reluctant to give McCown the quick hook if he struggles.
Running Back
Alexis' sore groin kept him out of the game on Sunday (he was listed as doubtful on Friday).
Barlow missed the game on Sunday as expected (knee, out on Friday's injury report).
Benson's knee injury kept him out of the game on Sunday, as expected.
Blaylock hasn't made it back on the field from his ankle injury yet (he was listed as questionable to play on Friday's injury report).
Brown suffered a shoulder injury during the game on Sunday - the severity of the injury isn't currently known. Brown will be evaluated further as the week goes along. The team will probably list him as "questionable" on Wednesday's injury report, as that's Tennessee's all-purpose injury designation for anything less than a season-ending injury.
Brown tweaked his left knee during the game on Sunday, and seemed to be slowed by the injury. He was spelled by Ricky Williams, who handled the extra work with no problem. After the game, Brown said that the injury was minor.
Davis was unable to play on Sunday due to his injured knee. His status for the next game will be evaluated as the week goes along. In Davis' absence, Jonathan Wells helped power the team to a rare victory with some strong running.
Davis was placed on IR due to problems with his surgically repaired knee, and will not play for the Panthers again this season.
Evans' sore shoulder sidelined him again on Sunday.
Henry was unable to play on Sunday due to his injured ankle (he was listed as questionable to play on Friday's injury report).
Hoover reported aggravating a right calf injury during the game on Sunday, but didn't think it would become a serious problem for him. He'll be evaluated further as the week goes along.
Jackson suffered a hip pointer during the game on Sunday, and gave way to Marshall Faulk/Arlen Harris later in the game - Jackson will be evaluated further as the week goes along. The injury isn't considered serious at this time.
Johnson's bad back kept him out of the game on Sunday (listed as out on Friday).
Johnson suffered a mild concussion during the game on Saturday, but he's expected to be fine for the next game. He'll be evaluated further as the week goes along.
Jones suffered a jammed neck and pinched nerve in his shoulder during the game on Sunday - the injury isn't considered serious, though, and he is expected to be available for the team's next game. Jones denied suffering a concussion on the play that inflicted the stinger.
Jones was inactive on Sunday due to his injured elbow (he was listed as questionable to play on Friday's injury report).
There are reports that LaMont Jordan suffered a toe injury early during the game on Sunday, but he had his best game of the year rushing the football despite the reported problem with the toe. Stay tuned as the team evaluates his status this week.
Martin is done for the season after having surgery to remove bone chips embedded in his knee cartilage and to clean up loose bodies in his knee.
McGahee banged up his left arm and shoulder during the game on Saturday, but stayed in the action - he'll be evaluated further this week.

Perry's bad ankle landed him on the inactive list for Sunday's rout of the Lions, as expected (out on Friday's injury report).
Smith was sidelined on Sunday due to his injured hamstring (he was listed as questionable to play on Friday's injury report).
Tomlinson aggravated his injured ribs during the game on Sunday, and finished the day watching from the sidelines as Michael Turner played well in relief of Tomlinson. Initially, the team is downplaying the aggravation and seem to believe Tomlinson will be able to play during week 16.
Williams tweaked an ankle during the game on Sunday, but stayed in the action and was productive.
Williams got the wind knocked out late in the game on Saturday, but wasn't seriously injured.

Drummond was inactive on Sunday due to his injured knee (he was listed as questionable to play on Friday's injury report).

Houshmandzadeh injured his ankle/foot during the game vs. Detroit - at first glance, the injury doesn't look too serious, and Houshmandzadeh is vowing to play in next week's contest.
Lloyd suffered a sprained neck during the game on Sunday - his status for the next game is not currently known.
Muhammad limped off the field during the Sunday night game, with some sort of leg injury - the Chicago press is calling the problem cramps, caused by the cold weather.
