I read alot of shit from alot of different sites and figured I would throw it all together in one big post, as anything you read take with a grain of salt but some of it is interesting and even helpful.

Redskins have an out
If the Redskins cut or trade Donovan McNabb this offseason, they will only be on the hook for $3.75 million, according to ESPN (http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=5812371).

Thigpen will start
According to the South Florida Sun-Sentinel's Mike Berardino (http://twitter.com//MikeBerardino/status/4551418178441216), the Dolphins have all-but-confirmed that Tyler Thigpen will be their starting quarterback on Thursday against the Bears.

Spiller out
According to the Buffalo News (http://www.buffalonews.com/sports/bills-nfl/article254352.ece), rookie running back C.J. Spiller (hamstring) has been all but ruled out for Week 11 against the Bengals.

Favre ready to roll
Brett Favre now no longer believes that his sore shoulder needs an MRI, according to ESPN (http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=5809409). He is fully expected to be active in Week 11.

Moss to be more involved
Titans head coach Jeff Fisher has "vowed to get" receiver Randy Moss more involved in Week 11 after he was targeted just four times in Week 10, according to the Nashville Tennessean (http://www.tennessean.com/article/20101116/SPORTS01/11160315/1027).

Gates still hurting
According to the Associated Press, (http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=5810412&campaign=rss&source=NFLHeadlines) Antonio Gates (feet) said he's "not sure" of his status for Week 11.

Hasselbeck will play
According to ESPN's Mike Sando (http://espn.go.com/blog/nfcwest/post/_/id/27628/updating-hasselbecks-injury-situation), coach Pete Carroll said Monday that Matt Hasselbeck's fractured left wrist will not cost him any time.

Floyd back at practice
According to Kevin Acee of the San Diego Union-Tribune (http://www.signonsandiego.com/news/2010/nov/15/gates-mathews-do-not-practice/), Malcom Floyd (hamstring) returned to practice Monday.

Smith out until December
ESPN reports Giants WR Steve Smith is expected to be sidelined until at least December with a torn pectoral muscle. Smith, who suffered the injury last week in practice, was originally listed as week-to-week. He did not play in Week 10 against the Cowboys.

History on Evans' side for Week 11 (http://fantasynews.cbssports.com/fantasyfootball/players/playerpage/492932/lee-evans)
Bills WR Lee Evans has never had a bad game against the Cincinnati Bengals, his opponents in the Week 11 game. Evans has faced the Bengals three times in his career and he's topped 100 yards and scored a touchdown in each game, totaling 19 catches for 373 yards and three scores. That said, he's entering Week 11 on the heels of making just two catches for 52 yards against the Lions Week 10. The Bills went with a more run-heavy offensive game plan against Detroit and it worked with Fred Jackson having a huge game. More than that, Evans has not topped 56 yards receiving or scored a touchdown in his last three games and he's fallen far behind Steve Johnson as QB Ryan Fitzpatrick's go-top option in the passing game.

T. Smith to remain 49ers starter
The San Francisco Chronicle reports that 49ers coach Mike Singletary said Monday that Troy Smith will remain the starting QB for Week 11 against Tampa Bay. "I'm going to go with the guy who's winning, I'm going to go with the guy who has the hot hand," Singletary said. Alex Smith (shoulder) has been out with a shoulder injury and missed the past two games. Troy Smith started against St. Louis in Week 10 and completed 17 of 28 passes for 356 yards and a touchdown in the 23-20 overtime win.

Knox dealing with ankle injury
Bears WR Johnny Knox was limited in practice on Monday with an ankle injury as he prepares for Week 11 against the Dolphins. He caught five passes for 90 yards against the Vikings in Week 10, but did leave the game briefly with an injury.
