NFL Week 11 Injury Update: Tracking Actives/Inactives, Injuries From Every Game
Week 11 hasn’t bucked the overarching trend of the 2015 season: injuries, injuries and more injuries.
With over one-third of the league beginning Week 11 with just four wins (and a 12th after the Jacksonville Jaguars won on Thursday), the playoff picture is far from set and every game means a little bit more — both in the NFL and in your fantasy football leagues.
Here’s a look at what we know for injuries thus far.
Keep it right here for updates on all the actives and inactives from each of Sunday’s games, as well as the latest news on notable in-game injuries as they happen.
All times ET.

11:05 a.m.: We already know Darren McFadden is expected to play, but his fantasy owners shouldn’t worry about starting him, too.
#Cowboys will use Darren McFadden at RB as much as possible. Robert Turbin – signed this week – is No 2. Small number plays for R Smith

10:15 a.m.: It doesn’t look great for Emmanuel Sanders.
Just an eye test and don't know what medical staff will decide, but it's cold and Emmanuel Sanders didn't look comfortable running routes.

— Some news on Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning, who won’t play Sunday, and Indianapolis Colts QB Andrew Luck, whose timetable for a return is becoming clearer.
One loose end from last week: Peyton Manning's MRI on his ribs came back relatively clean. Being called a strain, but still very painful

More on Peyton Manning & Brock Osweiler coming up, but don't be surprised if it's a multi-week absence for Peyton, audition for Osweiler
— Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet) November 22, 2015
#Colts QB Andrew Luck is out about a month, expect a mid-December return. Matt Hasselbeck canceled a play-by-play bye week gig to focus.

While Brown should play, don’t expect as much from teammate Michael Floyd.
Cards expect WR John Brown (hamstring-Q) to play vs. Cincy; not as optimistic about WR Michael Floyd (hammy-Q), who at best will be limited.

Oh, and that Tony Romo guy officially is on the 53-man roster.
The Cowboys have activated Romo to the 53-man roster, just in case you were still worried about his status.
— David Helman (@davidhelman_) November 21, 2015
— But bad news for the Bears and Matt Forte owners.
The #Bears starter at RB will once again be rookie Jeremy Langford, which means it may be another week of waiting for RB Matt Forte (knee).
— Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet) November 22, 2015
