If there's anything I hate more than anything, it's late injuries, or injuries that don't get reported during the week but get revealed just 10 minutes before gametime. The NFL supposedly cracked down on this covertness that was perfected by the likes of Mike Shanahan in Denver and our old buddy Bill Belichick in New England, but it's still ongoing. How many people were burned by Santonio Holmes missing the game because he tweaked a hamstring during warmups a few weeks ago? Or, how about Kurt Warner and his injured elbow last week? My only advice on this is be sure to monitor your favorite fantasy football Web site. CBSsportsline, where I have a couple of leagues through, actually post the list of all the inactive players a half-hour before game time (only for the 1 p.m. games, though). If your site provides this service (or actual daily injury updates), please take advantage of this. Especially if injuries are crippling your team, like all of mine, it's a life-saver.

By the way, I'm about tired of Steven Jackson. I hold out hope that he comes back next week against the Browns and their suspect run defense. I hope the Browns win, but Jackson runs for 150 and scores a couple of times.
