It\u2019s becoming difficult to keep up. The latest malady is a sprained SC joint in his throwing shoulder, which knocked him out of Sunday\u2019s win over Buffalo. He was scheduled for a Monday MRI. Could this be the injury that finally ends his consecutive starts streak? It\u2019s a nice window for Favre to walk away from the game and not be called a quitter.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Max Hall and Derek Anderson, Cardinals: SHOULDER, CONCUSSION<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Let the John Skelton era begin. Derek Anderson went down with a concussion, supposedly. It\u2019s just as likely that Ken Whisenhunt hooked him because, you know, he stinks. Max Hall dislocated his non-throwing shoulder and could be out multiple weeks if not the rest of 2010. That means Skelton will probably be thrown into the fire next week.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Dez Bryant, Cowboys: FIBULA<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s game, set, match for Dez Bryant\u2019s season. Sorry, <a title=\"fantasy football\" href=\"http:\/\/www.fanduel.com\/fantasyfootball?btag=a_211b_5c_\">fantasy football<\/a> players. The standout rookie wideout already had surgery Monday to repair his fractured right fibula and is out for the season.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Heat Miller, Steelers: CONCUSSON<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Miller beats out Derek Anderson and Darren Sproles for Concussion of the Week honours because the shot he took was so vicious. Of course, the referees missed the hit on a very defenseless Miller and didn\u2019t even throw a flag. How do you think Miller\u2019s teammate, James Harrison, felt about that?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Flozell Adams, Steelers: ANKLE<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The Steelers\u2019 offense line can\u2019t stay healthy and may keep letting teams break Big Ben\u2019s foot, nose and other body parts as a result. Flozell Adams aggravated an ankle injury in Pittsburgh\u2019s Sunday night <a title=\"betting\" href=\"http:\/\/www.joeduffy.net\/\">betting<\/a> upset over Baltimore and went for X-rays. His status for Week 14 is unknown.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Aqib Talib, Buccaneers: HIP<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This is without a doubt the week\u2019s most crushing injury. The Bucs lost Talib, their top corner, for the season after he tore a tendon off his hip bone. Without him, I can\u2019t see Tampa making the playoffs.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Brandon Flowers, Chiefs: LOWER BODY<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The status of Kansas City\u2019s shutdown corner is cloudy. He was carried off the field yesterday but claims he only had cramps. Other whispers suggest he aggravated his old hamstring injury. We\u2019ll have to wait and see which news is correct before speculating on his availability for a crucial <a title=\"sportsbook\" href=\"http:\/\/www.lines-maker.com\/p\/nfl-football-betting.html\">NFL betting<\/a>tilt with San Diego next week.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Cullen Jenkins, Packers: CALF<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Another week and another key part of Green Bay\u2019s defense goes down.
