Welcome to KFFL.com's Injury Roundup. Each week, we keep you up to speed on all the latest injury news from around the NFL. Whether it's a minor injury or a season-altering catastrophe, we're on top of it. Which players may be sitting out of this weekend's key game? Which ones are ready to step back between the white lines?

Quarterbacks

Despite all the hype surrounding video footage that showed New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady (shoulder) donning a protective boot following the team's AFC Championship Game win over the San Diego Chargers, Brady's ankle injury was not even worthy of inclusion on the team's official injury report. Fear not though loyal reader, as Brady completed his own "perfect season" in regards to appearing on the injury report every week with his famed fatigued shoulder that has him listed as probable. Look for Brady to be under center when the Pats attempt to join the 1972 Miami Dolphins as the only teams in NFL history to win a championship with an undefeated record.

Wide Receivers

New York Giants wide receiver Plaxico Burress (ankle) has been limited in practice throughout the week leading up to Super Bowl XLII. However, given his performance in the NFC Championship Game one has to believe he'll be pulling out all the stops in this one. The veteran is expected to start and figures to draw a lot of attention from the New England secondary.

The only other injury of note is to New England Patriots wide receiver Jabar Gaffney (shoulder), who has been limited in practice this week due to a shoulder injury. However, he is expected to be available when the team's kickoff this Sunday.
