Sunday morning injuries

Ladarius Green won't play

Two games today, and a couple of noteworthy injury updates. The first is that Ladarius Green hasn't been cleared from his concussion a few weeks back, and will be inactive.

That should benefit the team's other receivers, notably Eli Rogers. He had three productive games down the stretch with Green sidelined.

At tight end, it should be Jesse James as the main player, but Xavier Grimble will also be a factor. Neither is a Green-level athlete and won't be as big a part of the passing game. A candidate to catch a short touchdown, but probably not a big receiving day.

The other injury being reported on NFL.com is that Aaron Ripkowski showed up as questionable with a shoulder issue. Must have picked that up in practice. If he's inactive, it should benefit Ty Montgomery, although maybe Christine Michael would also play a little more. Anyway, Ripkowski had been getting some work lately, so those touches would go to other backs.
