Before we get to the injury report, a few quick thoughts on Thursday's games.

1) Seriously, how did Tony Romo (Dallas-QB) sit on the bench for three years? His five touchdown passes immediately vault him into a household name considering the audience.

2) Nice to see Joey Harrington (Miami-QB) get a win in Detroit. Must be even nicer for him to be able to leave Detroit after the game.

3) I'd love to add some thoughts on the night game, but, hey, my cable company doesn't carry NFL Network. And no, I don't blame the cable company on this one.


Here's the NFL Injury Report for the remaining games this weekend.

I'll update some more stuff tomorrow night:

1. Wow, Eli Manning (NYG-QB) played awful against the Bears defense. That was like rookie Eli again. I've been considering him a must-start every week, but that could change if he does that again.

2. Welcome back Chad Johnson (CIN-WR). Nice to see your 260 yards and two touchdowns. Another week or two of that and we're even.

3. It's about time Bill Cowher remembered that the running game is where his Steelers have prospered all these years. It's even nicer when you own Willie Parker (PIT-RB) and get 213 yards and two TDs.

4. Frank Gore (SF-RB) kills bad teams.

5. I can't wait to see what Brandon Jacobs (NYG-RB) does next year if he's given the No. 1 job after Tiki Barber's (NYG-RB) retirement, but he is absolutely killing Barber owners.

You have to like the way Tony Romo (Dallas-QB) has been playing. It seems like coach Bill Parcells made the right decision to make the change at the position. If you need a player at the position, consider Romo against the Arizona Cardinals this week. He'll put up some points.

SIT HIM: Braylon Edwards (Cleveland-WR) will likely be blanketed all day by D'Angelo Hall (Atlanta-CB). I'd look elsewhere if you have the depth at WR.
