Week 8 Early Injury Reportby Mark Wimer, Exclusive to Footballguys.com
Quarterback
Boller continues to miss games due to his turf toe injury (out).
Bulger missed the game on Sunday as expected (right shoulder, out on Friday).
Grossman continues to miss games due to his broken leg/ankle injury - as expected.
Maddox was inactive on Sunday due to his right shoulder injury (questionable on Friday's injury report).
McMahon was inactive on Sunday, at least partly due to his injured knee and an unspecified illness (questionable on Friday's injury report).
McNair was unable to play on Sunday due to his bad back (questionable on Friday's injury report). Coach Jeff Fisher sounded optimistic about McNair for this week: "I think Steve will be okay this week. I think the weekend off really helped him. I know he felt good before we left, but we chose to leave him behind and keep him off the airplane so he could rest, so I would expect him to play this coming week."
Smith strained his knee during the crushing loss to Washington on Sunday. He'll be evaluated further on Monday.
With McNair sidelined due to a sore back, Volek stepped into the top job on Sunday. Unfortunately, he suffered a concussion during the game, leaving Matt Mauck under center for the Titans. Volek will be evaluated further as the week goes along but sounds like he's ok. "You can't control a guy coming off the end who's not blocked at all. He got a good licking on me, and physically I'm fine. I'll probably be fine tomorrow. This is my first concussion." He described the play he was injured on: "I really can't recall it. I remember dropping back in a three-step drop, and I heard Jarrett Payton say 'watch out' or something. It was a three-step drop and I didn't think a guy could get there that quick and obviously he did and the next thing I know I'm sitting on the bench. The doctors are taking care of me right now." Coach Fisher said he expected McNair to play this week.
Running Back
Barlow injured his quadriceps on Sunday, and did not return to action. He is considered probable for the next game, though. Backup Frank Gore played well in Barlow's absence. Talking about his 9/89/1 performance, Gore said "It was my first touchdown in the NFL. Hopefully, it will show my coaches that they can believe in me when I'm in the game that I'm going to keep fighting no matter if we are up or down."
Beasley bruised a hand during the game on Sunday. The injury does not appear serious as of Monday morning.
Brown suffered a shoulder stinger during the game on Sunday, and did not return to action. Once stingers are inflicted on a player, they are likely to recur in future weeks - Jarrett Payton and Travis Henry (returning from suspension) are Brown's backups if the nerve injury lingers to bother Brown this week.
Ahman Green reinjured his quadriceps tendon during the game on Sunday. The team confirmed on Monday that Green is out for the season due to a torn right quadraceps tendon, and that Green will undergo surgery this week to reattach the tendon. The team hopes to have him back in the lineup for training camp next summer. Tony Fisher is Green's primary backup, as Najeh Davenport is already on IR.
Johnson suffered a chest contusion during the game on Friday evening - no word on the severity of the injury as of yet. He'll be evaluated further during the week.
Jones was sidelined by his sore ankle again this week (questionable on Friday's injury report).
Mughelli missed the game on Sunday as expected (ankle, out on Friday).
Ricard, sidelined for most of the season with a calf injury, injured the other calf during the game on Sunday. An MRI is scheduled to further evaluate this latest calf injury.
Stecker aggravated his left ankle injury during the first half of the game on Sunday, but returned to action in the second half. He is expected to be listed as questionable on the initial Wednesday injury report due to his sore ankle.
Sugg's thumb injury kept him out of the game on Sunday, as expected.
Wide Receiver
Battle continues to be sidelined by his bad knee (doubtful on Friday).
Bennett was inactive this week after corrective thumb surgery (out on Friday's injury report).

Clayton was sidelined on Sunday due to his injured ankle (doubtful on Friday's injury report).
Crayton missed the game as expected (ankle, out on Friday).

Engrams injured ribs kept him sidelined this week, as expected (out on Friday).
Ferguson injured his knee/ankle (conflicting accounts on Sunday) during the game on Sunday, and it appears to be serious. Further evaluations on Monday revealed a sprained LCL in his left knee, which will sideline Ferguson from 2-4 weeks. Antonio Chatman is Ferguson's likely replacement across from Donald Driver.
Holt was unable to play on Sunday due to his balky knee (probable on Friday's injury report).
Joe Horns' injured hamstring kept him out of the game on Sunday (questionable on Friday's injury report).
Jackson missed the game on Sunday, as expected (knee, out on Friday).
Johnson sat out on Sunday due to his injured knee (questionable on Friday's injury report).
Johnson tore his Achilles tendon on Sunday and is out for the rest of the season. The Lions' receiving corps just keeps shrinking - Drummond and Roy Williams sat out this week due to injuries.
Jones left the game on Sunday with a right knee injury and did not return to action. He was spotted icing the joint after the game - no word yet on the severity of the injury. The Titan's passing game is unravelling due to injuries this week, with #1 WR Bennett, #1 and #2 QBs McNair and Volek all out or sidelined during the game.
Jurevicius suffered a pinched nerve in his neck during the 4th quarter of the game, and did not return to action. He indicated after the game that the injury is not serious, though.
Moss did not start but got in the game late in the first quarter. He played with a flak jacket despite being listed as doubtful on Friday due to groin and rib injuries.
Parker was inactive on Sunday due to his injured knee (questionable on Friday's injury report).
Ward tweaked his hip during the game but returned to action and scored a TD, then mocked Chad Johnson's "Riverdance" celebration - we think he's fine.

Tight End

RT Mike Williams, after missing three games with an injured right ankle, went down briefly in the second quarter with a sprained left ankle. His backup, Greg Jerman, sprained his right ankle four plays later, forcing Williams back into action at less than 100%. Right guard Chris Villarrial was shaken up and left the game early in the third quarter. Coaches refused to call his injury a concussion, but acknowledged that he was "woozy" after coming out of the game. The Bill's OL was beaten up by Oakland.
RT George Foster is playing through a second-degree MCL strain in his knee, but managed to hold Michael Strahan sackless none-the-less. How long Foster can continue to play through the injury is not known.
T Oliver Ross missed the game on Sunday due to a hand injury (out on Friday's injury report). T Adam Haayer joined Ross on the sidelines due to his sore back (questionable on Friday's injury report).
C Nick Hardwick was sidelined on Sunday due to his injured ankle (questionable on Friday's injury report). Ladainian Tomlinson had a hard time finding room to roam on Sunday, partly due to the banged-up condition of the OL. The Eagles physically dominated the Charger's linemen all day long. Said RT Shane Olivea "The (linemen) are hurting right now, physically, emotionally and mentally. We felt if we got this game we would be on a huge roll. It's a long flight home right now. We didn't play well enough to win offensively."
T. Kevin Sampson was inactive on Sunday due to an illness.

Long-snapper Ken Amato suffered a fractured fibula and may be out for some time. Said Olson after the game "I got drilled in the side of the head, hit right in the temple, probably one of the worst shots I've ever taken. I started getting a migraine and nausea and dry-heaving and I played for probably about 20 plays after it happened. I've taken some medication and it's kind of subsided, but it's going to be hard sleeping with this headache I've got."
New free agent G Toniu Fonoti missed the game on Sunday as he continues to recover from hand surgery (out on Friday).
