The team has released its final injury report ahead of Sunday’s game. Here is the damage:

| Arenas, Javier | DB | Neck | FP | FP | FP | probable |
| Bailey, Allen | DE | Ankle | FP | FP | FP | probable |
| Boss, Kevin | TE | Head | DNP | DNP | DNP | Out |

Yikes. This isn’t looking too promising, particularly for the offense.
The Good:
Allen Bailey will play for the first time this season.
Jamaal Charles is likely a go.
Jalil Brown is back.
Steve Breaston is probable.
The Bad:
Kevin Boss won’t play. We saw this coming. I’m guessing he suffered a concussion last week.
Dex is questionable with a shoulder injury. That isn’t good. McCluster has been one of Matt Cassel’s favorite targets. If he does give it a go, we’ll have to worry about him fumbling with that bum shoulder.
Ryan Lilja is questionable with a back inury. If he can’t go, rookie Jeff Allen will start…much to the chagrin of Romeo Crennel.
Kendrick Lewis is questionable. He was limited all week so I wouldn’t be shocked if he didn’t play for another week.
What do you think, Addicts? Will Lilja and McCluster play? What about Lewis? Do you WANT Jalil Brown back on the field?
