Week 5 Early Injury Reportby Mark Wimer, Exclusive to Footballguys.com
Quarterback
Boller was sidelined on Sunday, as expected (foot injury, out).
According to the Star-Tribune, Culpepper has been playing through a nagging right knee injury that is bothering his mechanics and mobility (Culpepper was not on the injury report last week).
Fiedler missed the game on Sunday, as expected (shoulder, out). His dislocated shoulder was strapped down and stiffened with a metal brace during the game on Sunday.
Garcia missed the game on Sunday, as expected (out, ankle).
McNabb started and played well despite his array of injuries - his 3rd straight 300+ passing yard performance in a row.
Pennington was sidelined on Sunday, as expected (right shoulder, out).
Vick was knocked out of the game with a sprained right knee ligament and did not return to action as the Falcons had a big lead. Sunday, coach Jim Mora said the injury "was not serious. … I don't think we need to worry about it". He'll have an MRI Monday and Vick said he expects to be ready for next week. "I feel fine. I just tweaked it a little bit. I'm going to get an MRI and find out what the deal is, but it feels good," said Vick. He tried to get back in the game: "I was trying to, but we were taking precautions, you know. We wanted to go get the x-rays and make sure everything was all right. We already had a good cushion, a nice lead, so we made the decision just to keep me on the sideline." On Monday, a MRI confirmed the knee is not damaged - Vick looks to be ok and is expected to practice as usual this week - he will start vs New England, unless he suffers some sort of setback that is not expected.
Warner was inactive on Sunday, as expected (groin, out on Friday's injury report).
Running Back
Askew was out on Sunday as expected (ankle).
Faulk missed the game on Sunday due to his foot injury, as expected (out on Friday). ESPN reported that the injury is actually a broken leg and that Faulk may be out for 8 weeks (the Patriots are typically very closed-mouthed about injuries, so no confirmation from the team on this yet).
Jackson was inactive on Sunday due to his injured hamstring (questionable on Friday's injury report).
James played through a stomach ailment on Sunday "My stomach was hurting all day," he said. "It was a rough one." The condition is not considered serious at this time.
Jones missed time during the game on Sunday due to being poked in the left eye. The injury is not considered serious as of Monday morning - he should start and play as usual this week. Hopefully his cornea wasn't scratched in the incident.
Martin appeared to tweak the right knee that he sprained in week 1 this past Sunday, and sat out a few downs before returning to action. He stated after the game that he was "fine", but 13/30/0 is far from our definition of "fine". The injury seems minor, though. Much of Martin's woes can be attributed to a strong Raven defense that didn't respect the pass.
McGahee was spotted icing his shoulder after the game on Sunday, but no official word about an injury has been heard. Keep an eye on his status on the injury reports later this week - we don't think it's a big deal, but it bears noting.
Mungro missed the game on Sunday, as expected (knee, out on Friday).
Rhodes missed the game on Sunday due to his injured shoulder (doubtful on Friday).
Schlesinger missed the game on Sunday, as expected (broken fibula, out on Friday).
Sproles injured his foot/ankle during the win over the Patriots. He'll be evaluated further as the week goes along.
Stecker missed the game again this week due to his bum ankle (questionable on Friday's injury report).
Williams started play on Sunday despite his sore foot, but was knocked out of the contest in the early going with a hamstring injury that sidelined him for the majority of the game. The severity of the pull is under evaluation as of Sunday night, but initial indications are that the injury is mild. "Everything is OK. He had a mild hamstring." said Coach Gruden after the game. Williams stated "I felt something tweak. Those were tough yards. Every Sunday won't be perfect." Gruden said the strong play of Michael Pittman was also a factor: "And the fact that Pittman was playing pretty well ... we chose to go another route today." Williams wanted to return to the game but it was the coach's call to keep him out. Said Williams, "I couldn't force my will on the coaches".

Curry continues to be sidelined by his Achilles' injury, as expected (out on Friday).
Engram broke 2 ribs during the early going on Sunday, but stayed in the game for most of the contest, grabbing 106 yards worth of passes before exiting in the second half. He'll be treated and evaluated further as the week goes along.
Galloway was briefly sidelined during the game due to leg cramps - the condition isn't considered serious.
Hankton continues to miss games due to his ongoing rehabilitation of an ankle injury/surgery (out on Friday's injury report).

Kicker
Akers missed the game on Sunday due to his torn hamstring, as expected (out on Friday's injury report).
Hall missed the game on Sunday due to his injured quadriceps (questionable on Friday).
Offensive Line
T Jonas Jennings (shoulder) missed the game on Sunday after being listed as doubtful on Friday's injury report.
C Jeremy Newberry was taken to the locker room for an x-ray of his leg (fibula) - results of the examination were not immediately available.
C Eric Ghiaciuc missed the game on Sunday due to lingering effects from a stomach illness (probable on Friday). It was unfortunate for the team that Ghiaciuc was sidelined, as starting C Rich Braham and his backup Larry Moore both suffered knee injuries during the game and were unable to continue play. Obviously, the Bengals are now perilously thin at center - G Eric Steinbach had to fill in at the position to finish the game on Sunday. Braham returned to the sidelines despite his left knee injury, and expects to play next week. Moore, however, had to be carted off the field and was on crutches after the game - his knee injury appears serious.

But I'm OK now. I've got a little headache now, but it makes it a little easier when you win." Wilson will be evaluated further as the week goes along - concussions often have lingering after-effects that may take a day or two to crop up.
While not injured, Winborn was inactive for the game on Sunday as the team has instructed him to stay away from the field while they work on a trade to move Winborn elsewhere - Winborn was demoted from the starting lineup last week and cleaned out his locker.

I don't know if that means on the football field, but as long as I can run after Little Man (Harrison's son), that's what's important."

Peterson missed the game on Sunday as expected (back, out on Friday's injury report). His injury and his attitude about the back problem are causing lots of friction with head coach Tom Coughlin - evidently the two had a big fight in the locker room last Thursday about disclosing injury status (Peterson told some reporters he might be done for the year, after coach Coughlin expressly forbade players to talk about their injury status). Stay tuned, but it's clear Peterson is in the doghouse - he was told not to come to the team hotel during preparations for the game vs. the Rams...
Phillips sprained his right thumb during the game on Sunday, but stayed in the game.
