Another few injury updates:

Keith Brooking is now doubtful after not practicing yesterday. With this in mind, the somewhat-cold Bradie James would get a bump-up.

Curtis Lofton's knee won't keep him out of Sunday's game. He'll be a solid play this week.

DeAndre Levy is now listed as questionable with a groin injury. We'd drop him down into the fourth tier this week as a bit of a risky play.

Kyle Vanden Bosch's official injury "tag" is doubtful, so he's an extremely risky play. Not looking good for the Lion D.

Aaron Francisco was a limited participant in practice yesterday and is listed as questionable. Just another to add to the M*A*S*H unit of the Colts.

Injured DBs include LaRon Landry (didn't even rank him, as he missed practice again Thursday).

T.J. Ward was limited but just has a thigh injury. He should play.

Tyvon Branch is obviously one to watch here, being our #1 DB this week. There's a good chance he plays, according to what we're seeing.

We ranked Brian Dawkins in hopes the vet would play despite a knee injury. He's doubtful.

At LB, Paris Lenon and Karlos Dansby are both listed as questionable. Dansby was limited in practice, Lenon went at full speed.

Stephen Cooper, also questionable, was limited in practice as well.

We were indicating players that had injury concerns, but it became too difficult with the article coming out on Thursdays. I am trying to post here on Friday when injuries are more clear.

That said, yes, Vanden Bosch looks "very questionable".

Osi Umenyiora is listed as questionable. Bump Pierre-Paul up even more now.

Richard Seymour, Mike Wright and Chris Clemons are also questionable.

Just a heads up - Vanden Bosch is looking doubtful for this week.
