Week 11
Some important players are returning for both the New Orleans Saints and the Indianapolis Colts. The Saints will have both Lance Moore and Jed Collins returning to the lineup, while the Indianapolis Colts will get starting left tackle Anthony Castonzo back this week.
Injuries have devasted the defensive line of the Oakland Raiders. Not only are rookies Ryan Robinson and Stacy McGee on injured reserve, Jason Hunter and Vance Walker are also out for the next few weeks with a dislocated ankle and a shoulder tear respectively. Releasing offensive lineman Matthew McCants and quarterback Matt Flynn opened up roster spots for the two free agents to be signed.
The Minnesota Vikings made a number of moves this week, releasing three players and signing quarterback McLeod Bethel-Thompson. Bethel-Thompson will be the backup Sunday as Christian Ponder will miss the next two weeks with a groin injury. The Vikings released Webb, Dean and Baker in order to have enough cap space to sign Bethel-Thompson.
The Baltimore Ravens' 2013 season just got worse as the team will be without starting quarterback Joe Flacco. Flacco is scheduled to miss the next five weeks with a broken hand. Third year quarterback Tyrod Taylor will start Baltimore's next game against the Chicago Bears.
Even though Travis Bond isn't expected to start for the Carolina Panthers, signing him gives the team depth on the interior of the offensive line.
