The Colts have placed WR Anthony Gonzalez (knee) on injured reserve, ending his season. Gonzalez was expected to be a game-time decision for this week’s game against the Jets, so it appears that he had a setback during practice. Pierre Garcon is now a full-time starter in Indianapolis Colts.
Elsewhere around the NFL:
Seattle: Seattle Seahawks RB Julius Jones (ribs) returned to a full practice Thursday and is expected to play Sunday at Green Bay. Jones will likely start on Sunday against the Packers and get more carries than Justin Forsett.
Carolina: RB DeAngelo Williams missed Thursday’s practice with an ankle injury that has been bothering him over the last few weeks. Look for Jonathan Stewart to see the majority of the carries against the Giants on Sunday.
Carolina: Panthers placed QB Jake Delhomme (finger) on injured reserve, ending his season. Delhomme is scheduled to earn $13 million in guaranteed money next season, which means he will return but might be a backup. Matt Moore has made some strides in his three starts this season and the Carolina Panthers appear to be ready to go in a different direction.
Oakland: OaklandĀ Raiders RB Justin Fargas did not practice on Thursday because of a knee injury. It looks like Michael Bush will get the start on Sunday against the Browns.
Pittsburg: Hines Ward (hamstring) returned to a full practice Thursday. Ward reportedly had a setback with his hamstring last week, but he ended up catching seven balls for 126 yards. It doesn’t appear that he’s in any danger of missing this week’s game against the Ravens.
Buffalo: Bills RE Aaron Schobel indicated Wednesday that he may consider retiring after this season. Schobel, 32, is still a very productive player and has seven sacks on the season. “I don’t know my future really, what I’m going to do,” he said. He is second on the Buffalo Bills’ all-time sacks list, behind only Bruce Smith.
Washington: Redskins coach Jim Zorn confirmed Wednesday that Jason Campbell will start in Week 16 against Dallas. Campbell suffered a stinger and was rocked repeatedly by the Giants on Monday night, as New York defensive coordinator Bill Sheridan took a page from predecessor Steve Spagnuolo’s pressure-filled book. Campbell also came out of the game with a black eye. He figures to face similar protection breakdowns against a Dallas defense that humbled Drew Brees in Week 15.
