What the hell did McPhee do to his thigh? He's been out a long time!

I'm not up on the fine points here: is this list final, official, and unchangeable, or does the team have some period of time during which they can change this list? For example, if McPhee hops out of bed Sunday morning miraculously recovered, could the team take him off the "out" list?

McPhee is questionable. He isn't out.

I believe the Friday list is final if they list players out. Not 100% sure though.

You mean Roethlisberger? McPhee is questionable.

I'm not sure how much there is on hard and fast rules with the injury report apart from any impacting ailment has to be reported (or something like that, as we've seen with the fines, it's a bit up in the air) and that all injury reports have to be filed by Friday.

I believe that once a player has been ruled out, he's out. Can't change that beyond Friday, but this could just be a convention. Players can be updated from doubtful to questionable to probable / or downgraded from probable to questionable to doubtful over the weekend, though.

Not liking the Dickson injury, they could concentrate on covering Pitta more. Is it me or do the Ravens always play Pittsburgh short a TE or lose one during the game? Hope Bajema is a good blocker at least.

Bajema is about as below average as you can get.

Worse than Davon Drew?

BTW: what I meant to ask was, can a player listed as Out on the game status report be changed to another designation and then play?

No, but that's not really saying much.

when Bajema played a couple games ago he got owned in his weak blocking attempts Rather see them put in a backup Olineman or Leach
