Jon Kitna - QB, Detroit Lions 11/29/2006
Detroit head coach Rod Marinelli said on Monday that he has no lineup changes planned, including at the quarterback position. "Right now, my goal is to win each and every game," he said. "I'm going to give ourselves the best opportunity to win and that's with Kitna." Kitna was sacked eight times and pressured seven times in the Lions' 27-10 loss to Miami on Thanksgiving Day as the running game went nowhere and the OL crumbled repeatedly.

Wali Lundy - RB, Houston Texans 11/29/2006
Houston ran for only 25 yards on 14 carries against the New York Jets on Sunday as RBs Wali Lundy (eight carries, 11 yards) and Samkon Gado (three carries, four yards) averaged less than 1.5 yards per rushing attempt against a Jets defense ranked among the worst in the league at stopping the run.

Ahman Green - RB, Green Bay Packers 11/29/2006
Green Bay RB Ahman Green has averaged only 42.3 yards rushing with one touchdown in his past three games after averaging 93.5 yards rushing and scoring three TDs in his first six starts of the season. In fact, the Packers as a team have rushed for no more than 51 yards in their past three games. Head coach Mike McCarthy said that a big reason for the downturn has been the absence of RT Mark Tauscher (groin), who has missed the past two games, and not a sign that Green is slowing down.

Matt Hasselbeck - QB, Seattle Seahawks 11/29/2006
An MRI taken on Tuesday showed that Seattle QB Matt Hasselbeck has a broken finger on his non-throwing hand.

It's unknown which finger is broken
