So a Green Bay quarterback suffered a season-ending injury in Sunday's game vs. the Pats. But it wasn't the one you might think...

Green Bay's BACKUP QB, Aaron Rogers, broke his foot in the 3rd quarter (so now he has an excuse for his paltry 4 for 12 performance). He will require surgery and is out for the rest of the year.

The Packers are optimistic that Brett Favre will be healthy enough to start next Monday night against Seattle. He has started 251 consecutive games, after all. The team will evaluate his injured elbow throughout practice this week. If Favre can't go, the Packers' 3rd string QB is Ingle Martin (how's that for pulling a name out of thin air!?!), a rookie, 5th round draft pick out of Furman College.

The team is also considering signing any available veteran they can get--too bad the Pats snatched up Testaverde last week!--or pulling fans out of the stands at Lambeau.

Needless to say, if for some reason you still had anyone associated with the Green Bay offense in your lineup, now is the time to remove them.

This week, the other upheaval in our nation's capital, Gonzalez goes out as Trent Green comes in, Aaron Brooks is set to stage his comeback tour, the Colts start talking about sitting starters, TJ Houshmandzadeh recovers from his big hit, Tiki's sprained thumb, Ronnie Brown spends time on the sidelines, Carr's shoulder situation, and your questions!

We talk about injuries and being on the inactive list all the time on our show, so thought it appropriate to draw your attention to this week's Tuesday Morning Quarterback article (at least the beginning portion, though read the whole thing if you can, as it's top-notch as usual).

He writes about how the injury reserve and inactive lists really don't make much sense, as players on them are paid to sit on the bench, and players on IR can't come back to play later in the season even if they've recovered from their injuries.

TMQ posits that the IR, inactive system, and team roster limits are obsolete now that a salary cap limits what every team can spend. Its an interesting viewpoint, though I'd be interested to hear a counter-argument.

Saints WR Joe Horn is inactive for today's game against Tampa Bay. Needless to say, get him out of your lineup ASAP, and downgrade Drew Brees as well; without his main target, Brees may have a harder time against the TB secondary.

Lots of updates to the injury report, and little good news to report:

Byron Leftwich has been downgraded to questionable and is unlikely to start this week against Tennessee. David Garrard, who did little in terms of stats but who did manage Jacksonville to a victory in Week 8, will get the start. Once again, downgrade all the Jacksonville receivers and upgrade Fred Taylor and Maurice Jones-Drew, both of whom will likely get another healthy workload this week.

Terry Glenn was added to the injury report as probable with a quadriceps injury Friday. Glenn wasn't a particularly exciting start anyway, given the matchup against a suddenly healthy Washington secondary and the fact that his targets have dropped with Romo under center. Sit Glenn if you can, but check the Sunday inactives if he's still your best option.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the matchup, Santana Moss was downgraded to doubtfulwith a hamstring injury and has ruled himself (unofficially) out for Sunday's matchup against Dallas. Get him out of your lineup, and downbgrade Brunell as well; Moss is essentially his only legitimate weapon, as both Brandon Lloyd and Antwaan Randle El have been mostly ineffective this season.

Plaxico Burress was downgraded to questionable with a back injury. He apparently hasn't practiced all week and will be a game-time decision against Houston.

This week, Tatum Bell's turf toe, Fred Taylor gets a minor injury (but is any Fred Taylor injury really minor?), Cleveland's resurgence, the return of Tom Brady: passing machine, and answers to your questions!
