Pierre Garcon: Hopes to Avoid Surgery

Garcon is going to seek additional opinions on his foot before deciding what to do this offseason, the Washington Post reports. Garcon missed six games with the injury this year. He returned and played through the pain in the final seven games. He wants to avoid surgery.

Analysis: The team won the final seven games after Garcon came back. He caught 44 passes for 633 yards and four touchdowns in 10 games (two of those 10 were cut short). He is an important part of the offense and should put up better stats in 2013 when healthy.

Garcon (foot) caught four balls for 50 yards in Sunday's loss to the Seahawks.

Analysis: Garcon briefly left the game with a shoulder injury, but he returned after a few plays. He was the team's leading receiver on the day, but it wasn't enough to lift the Redskins to victory.

Garcon (foot) is active for Sunday's game against Dallas.

Analysis: Garcon has been targeted 41 times over his last four games and with the Redskins fighting for a playoff spot Sunday night, he'll continue to be busy in Week 17.

Garcon (foot) is probable for Sunday's game against Dallas.

Analysis: Garcon has been highly reliable in the past month or so, catching 30 passes for 429 yards and three touchdowns over his last five games. He's a legitimate WR2 option in most cases at this point.

Garcon (foot) practiced fully Wednesday, the Redskins' official site reports.

Analysis: Garcon is continually listed on the injury report with a foot injury and still manages to post fantasy-friendly numbers. Over the last four games, he's recorded 26 receptions (on 41 targets) for 343 yards and two touchdowns. Owners shouldn't worry about his status too much for Sunday night's showdown against Dallas.

Garcon (foot) had seven catches on nine targets for 89 yards Sunday against the Eagles.

Analysis: Quarterback Robert Griffin threw two touchdowns, but wasn't able to connect with Garcon in the end zone. He's now gone back-to-back games without a score, although he continues to get targeted a high number of times. Up next is a Cowboys' defense that was dominated by Drew Brees on Sunday.

Garcon (foot) is active for Sunday's game against the Eagles.

Analysis: Garcon has scored three times in the last four weeks, but faces an Eagles defense that has improved as of late.

Garcon (foot) is probable for Sunday's game against Philadelphia.

Analysis: Philadelphia's defense is looking a lot tougher these days, but Garcon should still be a strong WR3 or mid-to-low end WR2 nonetheless.

Garcon among hottest WRs

In his Week 16 "Start 'Em, Sit 'Em" analysis, Michael Fabiano notes, "The Eagles have struggled to stop opposing wideouts in recent weeks, allowing an average of close to 27 fantasy points to the position over the last five weeks." FULL START 'EM, SIT 'EM

Analysis: Garcon, who has three touchdowns in his last four games, makes for a nice option as a No. 2 or 3 receiver.

Garcon (foot) practiced fully Wednesday, the 106.7 FM THE FAN reports.

Analysis: Garcon did not haul in a touchdown nor a reception of greater than 20 yards in Week 15, but he accomplished both in the previous three games. While he received treatment on his foot following practice, he is expected to suit up yet again Sunday at Philadelphia. His outlook would arguably get a bit of a boost if Robert Griffin (knee) is able to return as tentatively expected.

Garcon (foot) caught six passes on 12 targets for 65 yards Sunday against the Browns.

Analysis: Despite a new quarterback under center (Kirk Cousins in for the injured Robert Griffin), Garcon was still the most active wideout, finishing with double the number of targets as the next highest receiver (Santana Moss, six). Unfortunately for fantasy owners who have ridden Garcon's three-game touchdown streak, it ended Sunday at a very inopportune time.

RG3 inactive

RG3 is INACTIVE. Quarterback Kirk Cousins will be under center for their tilt against the Browns. FOLLOW WITH GAME CENTER

Analysis: Though Cousins has been effective in a limited capacity, he will square off against one of the tougher secondaries which has allowed just two passing scores in three games. Temper expectations for the likes of Pierre Garcon and Santana Moss. Alfred Morris should be relied on heavily.

Pierre Garcon: (Foot) Active Sunday

Garcon (foot) is active for Sunday's game against Cleveland.

Analysis: Week 15 presents a couple of challenges for Garcon. To begin with, he'll be catching passes from Kirk Cousins, who is making his first NFL start in place of Robert Griffin. Moreover, Garcon will likely be covered Sunday by the capable Joe Haden. That said, Cousins needs to throw to someone, and Garcon (who has been targeted 20 times over his last two contests) has scored in three straight games, so he can't be written off, in spite of the hurdles before him.

Garcon could cool off

In his Week 15 "Start 'Em, Sit 'Em" analysis, Michael Fabiano notes, "CB Joe Haden and the Browns defense have given up the fifth-fewest fantasy points to opposing wide receivers on their home field this year." FULL START 'EM, SIT 'EM

Analysis: Garcon has been hotter than a D.C. sidewalk in the summer, scoring a touchdown in each of his last three games. So while it is hard to bench him, it might be wise to temper expectations given the matchup.

Garcon (foot) is probable for Sunday's game against Cleveland, Redskins.com reports.

Analysis: Garcon is a rock-solid WR2 option if Robert Griffin (knee) suits up on Sunday, but he becomes a much riskier start if the Redskins have to go with Kirk Cousins at quarterback.

Garcon (foot) practiced fully Wednesday, the Akron Beacon Journal reports.

Analysis: Garcon has looked crisp the last three games, posting a touchdown and racking up at least 80 yards in each outing. With Robert Griffin (knee) limited in practice Wednesday, there is a small possibility that he will be unable to suit up Sunday at Cleveland, meaning fellow rookie Kirk Cousins could be under center. Be sure to watch the status of Griffin, as it could drastically affect Garcon's output in Week 15.

Garcon among hottest WRs

Garcon led all Redskins receivers with five catches for 87 yards and a touchdown against the Ravens on Sunday. WATCH HIGHLIGHTS

Analysis: The wideout has been on fire since returning from injury. He's scored in all three tilts, totaling no less than 14.90 points in those contests.

Garcon (foot) caught five passes on nine targets for 87 yards and a touchdown Sunday against the Ravens.

Analysis: Garcon was having a fairly decent game, until he caught an 11-yard touchdown pass from Kirk Cousins with 29 seconds left to bring the Redskins within two. Cousins was in the game after Robert Griffin was forced to leave with a knee injury that could cost him the rest of the season. Fantasy owners who were initially worried that Garcon may not see as many targets were likely feeling better after seeing his score. Up next is Week 15 trip to Cleveland.

Garcon is active for Sunday's game against the Ravens.

Analysis: It would hardly be surprising to see Garcon's snap count increase as he continues to get further away from the foot injury that sidelined him earlier this season.

Garcon (foot) is probable for Sunday's game against Baltimore, Redskins.com reports.

Analysis: Garcon has looked very good the last two weeks, catching 12 passes for 192 yards and two touchdowns. He's at least a WR3 as long as he's healthy.

Garcon back to form

In his "Week 14 Sleepers" analysis, Adam Rank notes, "There was a time when we even wondered if Garcon would be able to return to the Redskins. Oh, he's returned and he's been awesome. Garcon has scored at least 15 points in consecutive games." FULL SLEEPERS REPORT

Analysis: The Ravens have allowed 10 touchdown receptions in their last 15 road games. Garcon should be in your lineup this week.

Garcon (foot) practiced fully Wednesday, the Redskins' official site reports.

Analysis: Garcon continues to deal with a sore foot, yet appears to be in perfect concert with quarterback Robert Griffin when Sunday arrives. We'll monitor his status as the weekend draws closer to ensure he doesn't suffer a setback.

Garcon (foot) caught eight passes for 106 yards and a touchdown Monday against the Giants.

Analysis: Even with an ailing foot, Garcon continues to tough it out and post big numbers as Robert Griffin's go-to guy. Garcon saw 11 targets on the night, nearly three times as many as the next closest receiver Josh Morgan (4). Garcon will look to stay hot against a Ravens secondary that was picked apart in stretches last week by Charlie Batch.

Garcon (foot) is listed as active for Monday night's game against the Giants.

Analysis: Garcon will continue to tough it out through his foot issue, though admittedly not at 100 percent. As long as he can avoid any in-game setbacks Monday, Garcon should continue to see his share of targets on the heels of his four-catch, 86-yard effort on Thanksgiving.

Though Garcon is on track to suit up Monday against the Giants, his sore foot remains an issue, the Washington Post reports. "You never know because he's not 100-percent healthy," offensive coordinator Kyle Shanahan noted of how effective he expects Garcon to be on a week-to-week basis going forward. "So when he does feel good and stuff, you guys can see it. I think everyone can see it. He's a big-time player. That's what we hope to get. And when he's not fully going, I still think him out there helps us."

Analysis: Garcon caught five passes for 93 yards and a 59-yard TD in his last outing, which is highly encouraging, but that solid effort does not signify that his foot issue is a thing of the past. Going forward, look for Garcon to continue to tough it out through his foot injury, though his continued effectiveness obviously hinges on him not suffering any setbacks either in practice or in-game.

Garcon a Week 13 sleeper

In his "Week 13 Sleepers" report, Adam Rank notes the Giants "have allowed the sixth-most points to receivers in 2012. In fact, the Giants have allowed 16 receiving touchdowns, the most in the NFL." FULL SLEEPERS REPORT

Analysis: We've waited for Garcon and he finally made his re-emergence against the Cowboys on Thanksgiving. It's about time, right? With RG3 throwing bombs all over the field, this is a nice option this week.

Garcon (foot) was a full participant in Thursday's practice, the Redskins' official website reports.

Analysis: Garcon's status for Monday's game against the Giants was never in doubt, but fantasy owners have to be happy to see him get in a full practice for the first time in nearly two months. Garcon was a limited participant all of last week and ended up playing, finishing with four receptions for 86 yards and a touchdown in a 38-31 win over the Cowboys. It's evident that Garcon is Robert Griffin III's most dangerous weapon when healthy, and the two appear to have strong chemistry. The foot injury has limited Garcon to five games and 21 targets this year but he's made the most of those opportunities, hauling in 15 passes for an average of 16.3 yards per catch and 11.6 yards per target.

Garcon (foot) caught five passes for 93 yards and a 59-yard TD in Thursday's 38-31 win over the Cowboys.

Analysis: Garcon, who was targeted a team-high seven times Thursday, may not be 100 percent any time soon, given his foot issues, but barring any setbacks, he should be healthy enough to continue to see his share of targets in Week 13's game against the Giants.

Garcon (foot) is listed as active for Thursday's game against Dallas.

Analysis: There had been some concerns with regards to both the quick turnaround from Week 11 and how Garcon's foot might respond to the artificial turf playing surface in Dallas, but he'll be out there Thursday, toughing it out on a foot that's admittedly less than 100 percent.

Pierre Garcon: (Foot) Questionable For Thursday

Garcon (foot) is listed as questionable for Thursday's contest in Dallas, the Redskins' official site reports.

Analysis: Since he has been a limited participant in practice each of the past two days, Garcon's status is somewhat iffy going into Week 12's tilt with Washington. The short week is the primary concern on his ailing foot, so be sure to monitor his availability as Thursday's kickoff draws closer.

Garcon (foot) was limited at practice Tuesday, the Redskins' official site reports.

Analysis: Though Garcon's foot is not 100 percent, we'd expect him to give it a go Thursday against the Cowboys. That said, there are some concerns with regards to both the quick turnaround from Week 11 and as to how his foot will respond to the artificial turf playing surface in Dallas, so his status will definitely be worth verifying prior to Thursday's 4:15 kickoff.

Garcon (foot) suffered no setbacks in his first game back Sunday, the Washington Post reports.

Analysis: It sounds like Garcon will play Thursday against the Cowboys. The game is going to be played on artificial turf, which may impact his availability.

Following Sunday's win over the Eagles, Garcon indicated that his foot feels good, adding that he hopes his role will increase as the season progresses, the Redskins' official site reports.

Analysis: Garcon was limited to three catches for five yards Sunday, but assuming no setbacks with his foot, he intends to continue to tough things out on his less-than-100-percent foot going forward.

Garcon (foot) had three catches on three targets for five yards Sunday against the Eagles.

Analysis: A lackluster performance for Garcon, who was playing for the first time since Week 5. Only one player had more targets than Garcon, although quarterback Robert Griffin threw four touchdown passes and none went to Garcon. If his foot is still bothering him, the quick turnaround won't help, as the Redskins travel to Dallas for a Thanksgiving matchup.

Garcon (foot) is listed as active Sunday against the Eagles.

Analysis: Garcon, who is expected to start, is out there if you need him this week, though given that his foot is still not quite 100 percent healed, it's uncertain how heavily he will be utilized in his first game action since Week 5.

Garcon (foot) is expected to play Sunday against the Eagles, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports.

Analysis: That of course precludes any setbacks in warmups, but it appears as though Garcon will give it a go this week, albeit on a foot that is still not quite 100 percent healed.

Garcon back at practice

Garcon is one step closer to returning from a plantar plate tear in his right foot: He returned to practice this week after missing the last four games, although he remains limited, according to the Washington Post. Coach Mike Shanahan left the door open that Garcon could play on Sunday against the Philadelphia Eagles. FULL REPORT

Analysis: The fifth-year pro has said the right things during his rehab and is trying to get back on the field. However, the Post talked with foot and ankle surgeon Phillip K. Kwong, who wasn't privy to Garcon's injury but spoke in general terms about the difficulty Garcon faces as he tries to make it back on the field.

Pierre Garcon: (Foot) Return Expected?

Garcon (foot) is expected to play against Philadelphia on Sunday so long as he avoids setbacks prior to kickoff, Washington Times writer Rich Campbell reports.

Analysis: Garcon's owners should keep in mind that this is based on the word of Mike Shanahan, and he's a guy you could barely trust even if he were speaking under oath. But Garcon himself expressed confidence that he would play Sunday, too, so it appears as if he's slightly closer to probable than doubtful at the moment, though he technically remains listed as questionable.

Pierre Garcon: (Foot) Questionable Against Eagles

Garcon (foot) is questionable for Sunday's game against Philadelphia, Washington Times writer Rich Campbell reports.

Analysis: Garcon has been limited in practice all week and therefore has a legitimate chance to play, but he's a very high-risk consideration for fantasy owners. His foot has been very uncooperative, and the chances of both limitation and aggravation are both significant.

Pierre Garcon: Limited at Practice Thursday

Garcon (foot) was limited at practice Thursday, Washington Times writer Rich Campbell reports.

Analysis: Offensive coordinator Kyle Shanahan noted Thursday that "by no means is (Garcon) 100 percent, but it's been good that he can get through practice." We'll have to see what Garcon is able to do Friday and how he is officially listed by the Redskins, but it does appear as though he has at least a shot to give it a go Sunday against the Eagles.

Pierre Garcon: (Foot) Limited Wednesday

Garcon (foot) was limited in practice Wednesday, ESPN.com reports.

Analysis: Furthermore, coach Mike Shanahan intimated that Garcon could take the field Sunday against Philadelphia, according to the Washington Post. However, Garcon likely wouldn't be at full strength, and thus, not the playmaker that we saw in Week 1 during his 88-yard touchdown grab. Friday's injury report could clear up his progress through practice this week, but he may also be a game-time decision in Week 11 when all is said and done.

Coach Mike Shanahan noted that Garcon (foot) has been able to run, push and make cuts all week long, the Redskins' official site reports.

Analysis: As Shanahan points out, that's obviously a good sign and though it's certainly no lock that Garcon will play Sunday against the Eagles, it's within the realm of possibility, assuming no setbacks as the week progresses.

The Redskins won't know until later this week if Garcon (foot) will be able to play Sunday against the Eagles, the Washington Post reports.

Analysis: There have been no reported setbacks for Garcon, who returned to practice on Monday, with the expectation being that he will practice again Wednesday. It's still too early to get a good read on his status going forward, but things do at least seem to be inching in a positive direction for the wideout.

Chris Russell of ESPNRadio980 suggests that Garcon (foot) has a shot to play Sunday against the Eagles.

Analysis: This is the most positive report regarding Garcon's current status that we have heard, so we'll take it with a grain of salt for now, but it does underline that the wideout's status should be monitored closely in the coming days in what figures to be a pivotal week for him.

Pierre Garcon: (Foot) Returns To Practice

Garcon (foot) practiced Monday for the first time in a month, 106.7 THE FAN's Grant Paulsen reports.

Analysis: Garcon noted afterward that "there's going to be pain regardless. I really don't want to get surgery." His presence on the field Monday is a step in the right direction, and at this stage, he is still hoping that things improve to the point that he can return to game action this season, but that's certainly not a lock to occur.

Pierre Garcon: Slated To Test Foot Out

As the Redskins return from their Week 10 bye, the plan is for Garcon to return to practice, first in a limited fashion and then more as the week progresses, in order to see how his foot responds, 106.7 THE FAN's Grant Paulsen reports.

Analysis: Paulsen also notes that if Garcon's foot responds well to a return to the field, then he will in turn have a chance to return to game action, but if he is still in pain after practicing, then the Redskins will be forced to consider shutting him down.

Pierre Garcon: (Foot) May Be Out Past Bye

Garcon (foot) does not think he'll be ready after the team's bye week, the Washington Post reports.

Analysis: His foot is slowly improving but it appears more and more likely he will undergo season-ending surgery.

There has been little change in Garcon's (foot) status and he may opt for surgery, the Washington Times reports.

Analysis: The team is 3-6 and a long shot to make the playoffs. Garcon may elect to have surgery and get ready for 2013.

Garcon could be sidelined rest of season

Jason La Canfora of CBS Sports reported Sunday that Garcon could be shut down for the season if his injury does not improve by the end of his team's bye week. Washington is off next week after they host Carolina on Sunday. FULL REPORT

Analysis: Santana Moss has been the player to own and his value will be cemented if Garcon is indeed shut down.

It's possible that Garcon could be shut down for the season, if his foot injury doesn't improve by the end of the Redskins' (Week 10) bye week, NFL.com reports.

Analysis: The report comes via Jason La Canfora of CBS Sports, a normally reliable source, but note that no determination has been made here, though there seems to be legitimate and plausible concern that Garcon may need to call it a season, if his foot doesn't settle down soon.

Pierre Garcon: Won't Be Back Until After Redskins' Bye

Coach Mike Shanahan said that Garcon (foot) won't try to play again until after the Redskins' Week 10 bye, the Washington Post reports.

Analysis: With Garcon still out, there will once again be added opportunities for the likes of Leonard Hankerson and Josh Morgan, with Shanahan also indicating that Aldrick Robinson could see more work in the offense against the Panthers on Sunday in an attempt to bring some added speed to the mix.

Pierre Garcon: (Foot) Likely Won't Return Before Week 10 Bye

Garcon (foot) did not practice Wednesday, the Redskins' official Twitter page reports.

Analysis: Garcon, who is resting and progressing through his rehab, is unlikely to return until after Washington's Week 10 bye. Consequently, the next opportunity to see him on the field arrives on November 18, which would mark six weeks since his last game action.

Though coach Mike Shanahan says that he would like Garcon (foot) to be able to come back this week, a return after the team's Week 10 bye is more likely for the wideout, Chris Russell of ESPNRadio980 reports.

Analysis: At this point, Garcon hasn't been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Panthers, but holding him out this week would allow him a decent (and needed) amount of healing time before the Redskins return to action after their bye on November 18.

Garcon has tear in foot

A foot specialist diagnosed Redskins receiver Pierre Garcon with a plantar plate tear in his right foot on Wednesday, the Washington Times reported. Garcon remains a week-to-week decision to play. FULL REPORT

Analysis: Considering Garcon is not likely to play this week and has a bye in Week 10, stashing him on your bench for the playoffs could be a luxury owners can't afford. If you're still in the middle of the pack, pick up a player who can score you points instead of waiting on Garcon's potential.

Pierre Garcon: May Need Foot Surgery

The plantar plate tear in Garcon's right foot could require surgery, the Washington Post reports.

Analysis: While surgery is not necessarily imminent, it's clear that the injury doesn't allow Garcon to play at full speed, so it's a possibility. While surgery is something Garcon obviously hopes to avoid, or at least postpone, it's unclear when he might play again, with a course of rest presumably his best bet to avoid any foot procedures.

Garcon acknowledges that he has a plantar-plate tear in his foot, which thwarts his explosiveness and prevents him from running at full speed at this time, 106.7 THE FAN's Grant Paulsen reports.

Analysis: The bottom line here is that no timetable has been set for Garcon's return, though looking ahead at the team's schedule, earlier suggestions that the Redskins are thought to be leaning toward sitting him for the next two games (leading into their Week 10 bye) seem plausible.

Pierre Garcon: (Foot) Appointment Reveals Nothing New

Garcon's appointment Wednesday in North Carolina found nothing new regarding his injured toe, 106.7 THE FAN reports.

Analysis: Garcon has a ruptured ligament in the bottom of his second toe, which requires rest to recover from in season. There has been no word on a potential surgery, which would end his year prematurely, but fantasy owners can count on him missing at least Week 8's tilt in Pittsburgh.

Garcon traveled to Charlotte to see a foot specialist, 106.7 THE FAN reports.

Analysis: Garcon is seeking a new evaluation on his nagging foot injury, which has kept off the field in all but two games since he sustained the ailment in Week 1. Don't be surprised if he sits once again, though we should know more when Friday's injury report is released.

Pierre Garcon: Could Miss Another Couple of Games

The Redskins are thought to be leaning toward sitting Garcon (foot) for the team's next two games, 106.7 THE FAN's Grant Paulsen reports.

Analysis: While that's not written in stone, it is clear that Garcon's injury is lingering, with the implication in the report being that the Redskins may be inclined to hold him out until Week 10, which follows the Redskins' bye week.

Garcon inactive

Redskins receiver Pierre Garcon (foot) is out, as expected. Josh Morgan and Leonard Hankerson are expected to start at wide receiver. FULL INJURY ROUNDUP

Analysis: The biggest beneficiaries of his absence should be Santana Moss and Fred Davis, each posting respectable numbers the last two weeks.

Pierre Garcon: (Foot) Inactive

Garcon (foot) is inactive against the Giants, Comcast Sports Washington reports.

Analysis: Leonard Hankerson, Santana Moss, and Josh Morgan will be the focus of the passing game as a result.

Garcon (foot) won't play Sunday against the Giants, NFL Network's Kimberley Jones reports.

Analysis: With Garcon's foot still an issue, the Redskins receiving corps will once again be led in Week 7 by Leonard Hankerson, Santana Moss, and Josh Morgan.

Garcon listed as doubtful

Redskins wide receiver Pierre Garcon (foot) is doubtful to play against the Giants. He has been a non-factor for a while. FULL INJURY ROUNDUP

Analysis: Expect Santana Moss and Fred Davis to continue thriving as RG3's top-targets against a mediocre Giants secondary.

Pierre Garcon: (Foot) Doubtful For Sunday

Garcon (foot) is doubtful for Sunday's game against the Giants, Washington Times writer Rich Campbell reports.

Analysis: It's not clear just how advanced Garcon's setback might have been, but it's either way a major concern for him going forward. Foot injuries tend to have very fragile recovery processes, and by all indications to this point, Garcon's has not gone very well.

Coach Mike Shanahan calls Garcon (foot) a "long shot" to play Sunday against the Giants, Chris Russell of ESPNRadio980 reports.

Analysis: Assuming Garcon sits Sunday, then the Redskins will once again trot out a receiving corps in Week 7 headed by Leonard Hankerson, Santana Moss and Josh Morgan.

Garcon could miss Week 7

Garcon sat out last week's win over the Minnesota Vikings and doesn't sound particularly confident he'll play Sunday against the New York Giants. He didn't practice Wednesday. FULL STORY

Analysis: If he does sit out again, expect continued production from Fred Davis and Santana Moss against the Giants' 21st ranked pass defense which has allowed 8 passing TDs this season.

Pierre Garcon: Foot Still Sore

Garcon, who missed practice Wednesday, continues to experience discomfort as a result of an inflamed capsule underneath his second toe, the Washington Times reports.

Analysis: At this point, there is no timetable for him to test out the injury, which makes him pretty iffy for Sunday's game against the Giants. "We're going to hopefully give him a little time, get that thing healed," coach Mike Shanahan said Wednesday. "How long it'll take, I don't know: one, two days, two, three weeks, I really don't know..."

Pierre Garcon: Foot Woes Continue

Garcon underwent an MRI that revealed that he has an "inflamed capsule underneath the second toe" of his right foot, Washington Times writer Rich Campbell reports.

Analysis: Coach Mike Shanahan was quick to point out that Garcon is not dealing with a turf toe, with the plan being to rest the wideout until the pain subsides enough for him to run closer to full speed than he did during practice last week. At this point, Garcon has to be considered questionable for Sunday's game against the Giants, but if he can manage his foot pain well enough as the week continues, his Week 7 outlook could potentially improve.

Pierre Garcon: (Foot) Out Sunday

Garcon (foot) will not play Sunday versus Minnesota, the Washington Times reports.

Analysis: Following a setback with his foot injury Friday, Garcon will rest up in preparation for next Sunday's showdown against the Giants in New York. Leonard Hankerson, Santana Moss, and Josh Morgan will pick up the slack in his place.

As of Sunday morning, Garcon (foot) was unsure if he will play against the Vikings in the Redskins' 4:25 ET tilt, ESPNRadio980 reports.

Analysis: That puts him into the game-time decision category, so those inclined to wait things out with Garcon, are advised to have a contingency plan in place as Sunday's second wave of kickoffs approaches.

Garcon questionable

Redskins wide receiver Pierre Garcon is back on the injury report, added Friday as questionable against the Vikings. He's having a hard time shaking his foot injury. FULL INJURY ROUNDUP

Analysis: If Garcon does indeed miss the game, it will be on Santana Moss to move the chains. The Vikings are stout against the run (6th), but rank 15th against the pass, allowing six scores this season.

Pierre Garcon: (Foot) Suffers Minor Setback

Garcon (foot) suffered a minor setback and is questionable for Sunday's game against Minnesota, 106.7 THE FAN's Grant Paulsen reports.

Analysis: Garcon practiced less Friday than he did the game before, so his foot is definitely a concern. His owners will want to have an alternative at the ready.

Garcon (foot) had three catches for 24 yards Sunday against the Falcons.

Analysis: Garcon was targeted a team-high seven times, although he was only third in receiving yards. Starting quarterback Robert Griffin had to leave the game with a mild concussion and it's unclear if Garcon has any kind of positive relationship with Kirk Cousins, who will have to start next week against the Vikings, if Griffin can't go.

Garcon is active

Garcon is ACTIVE for today's matchup against the Falcons. FULL GAME PREVIEW

Analysis: Garcon should be much more involved than his one-catch performance last week. Start him as you normally would.

Garcon (foot) is active for Sunday's game against Atlanta.

Analysis: After playing 49 snaps against Tampa Bay last week and catching just one pass in the process, we'd expect Garcon to be more involved in the Redskins' passing game Sunday, provided he avoids any setbacks with his foot, which he admits could take some time to heal.

Pierre Garcon: (Foot) Listed As Probable

Garcon (foot) is probable for Sunday's game against Atlanta, 106.7 THE FAN's Grant Paulsen reports.

Analysis: Garcon should be in for a bigger game against Atlanta this week after playing 49 snaps against Tampa Bay last week. He should be a high-end WR3 play this week in most formats.

Garcon said Thursday that his injured foot will "take some time" to heal, the Washington Post reports.

Analysis: "It's going to take some time to feel back like my old self, like it was in training camp," Garcon said. "But it's a process. It's a battle. But it's coming along." Although the foot appears to be something that will take time to fully heal, Garcon said that he is able to play at full speed. He is expected to play Sunday against the Falcons.

Garcon (foot) was a full participant in practice Wednesday, the Redskins' official Twitter page reports.

Analysis: Even though he gathered just one reception in Week 4 and failed to take the field for the team's final game-winning drive, Garcon's full participation tells us that he's nearly over his foot injury. We'll watch his status as Friday approaches, but feel confident that he'll be close to full health this Sunday against Atlanta.

Garcon (foot) did not suffer any setbacks during Sunday's game, the Washington Post reports.

Analysis: Garcon did not record a catch in the second half and was not on the field during the team's final drive. He definitely is not 100% healthy and will likely miss practice time during the week.

Garcon (foot) had one catch for 20 yards Sunday against the Bucs. However, he did recover a fumble in the end zone for a touchdown.

Analysis: Quarterback Robert Griffin was headed for a rushing touchdown but he coughed the ball up and Garcon was the lucky beneficiary. He was clearly not 100 percent Sunday and every targeted receiver had more looks than Garcon. The Redskins take on the Falcons next week and fantasy owners should see how well Garcon practices before feeling comfortable with him again.

Garcon (foot) is active for Sunday's game against Tampa Bay.

Analysis: It remains to be seen how close to 100 percent Garcon is or if he'll be on much of a snap count Sunday, but he's out there if you need him and starting opposite Leonard Hankerson.

Garcon likely to play

Redskins WR Pierre Garcon is likely to play against the Buccaneers, though he might only see limited snaps.

Analysis: He could still be effective for fantasy owners against a Bucs secondary which has been torched as of late. Fantasy owners will be taking a risk if they start him, so weigh your options.

Though no determination will be made until pre-game warmups, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports that Garcon (foot) is more likely to play than not against the Bucs Sunday.

Analysis: Schefter adds that if Garcon plays, he will be on a "pitch count." Note that the Redskins kick off at 4:25 ET this week, so those considering Garcon are advised to have an alternative (such as teammate Leonard Hankerson) available as a plug-in, in the event that Garcon is scratched.

Pierre Garcon: (Foot) Questionable For Week 3

Garcon (foot) is questionable for Sunday's game against Tampa Bay, Washington Times writer Rich Campbell reports.

Analysis: Garcon was likely a limited practice participant Friday, as he was Wednesday and Thursday. Washington unfortunately has a 4:25 ET game, so there's some risk in clinging to him as a starting option Sunday.

Garcon (foot) was limited at practice Thursday, the Redskins' official site reports.

Analysis: That said, Coach Mike Shanahan noted Thursday that Garcon is "getting better, you can see that." We'll revisit the wideout's practice participation and official Week 4 injury status on Friday.

Garcon (foot) said Wednesday that he's "getting better every day," 106.7 THE FAN reports.

Analysis: Garcon further mentioned that his foot injury is "nagging a lot more than anybody would have expected." Since he was limited in practice Wednesday, we'll have to check back later in the week in order to get a better idea of his availability this weekend at Tampa Bay.

Garcon's status remains uncertain

Coach Mike Shanahan isn't sure when Pierre Garcon will be back.

Analysis: In Garcon's absence, Leonard Hankerson has stepped up to become Washington's most productive receiver. Even then, his production hasn't been great. This could be what it takes for Fred Davis to become more involved in the offense.

Garcon will not play vs. Bengals

Garcon will miss his second straight game due to his ankle injury today.

Analysis: Aldrick Robinson has been the primary benefactor in Garcon's absence, and he makes for a decent No. 3 WR or flex start if you're hurting at the position.

Garcon (foot) will not play Sunday against the Bengals according to both Michelle Beisner of the NFL Network and ESPN's Adam Schefter.

Analysis: Garcon's continued absence figures to lead for more looks this week for the likes of WRs Aldrick Robinson, Leonard Hankerson, Josh Morgan and TE Fred Davis.

Pierre Garcon: (Foot) Doubtful For Sunday

Garcon (foot) is doubtful for Sunday's game against Cincinnati, Washington Times writer Rich Campbell reports.

Analysis: If Garcon is out it could mean more targets for a variety of players, perhaps most notably Aldrick Robinson, Leonard Hankerson, Josh Morgan and Fred Davis.

Pierre Garcon: Nagging Foot Issue

Coach Mike Shanahan acknowledged Thursday that Garcon's foot injury is "nagging a little more than (he) thought it would," Grant Paulsen of 106.7 The Fan DC reports.

Analysis: Garcon was, not surprisingly, limited at practice Thursday, with his status for Sunday's game against the Bengals still looking cloudy at this point.

Pierre Garcon: (Foot) Limited in Practice

Garcon (foot) was limited in practice Wednesday, 106.7 The Fan reports.

Analysis: Garcon was a game-time decision in Week 2 before he was deemed inactive, and his lack of activity in practice Wednesday is certainly not encouraging. We'll evaluate his status as the weekend approaches.

Garcon will not play vs. Rams

Washington Redskins WR Pierre Garcon will not suit up for today's game.

Analysis: Santana Moss could be in line for some extra looks, but expect Alfred Morris to be the biggest beneficiary as the focal point of the offense.

Analysis: Look for Aldrick Robinson (who is starting in his place) to see added opportunities in the Redskins' offense Sunday with Garcon sidelined.

Injury Roundup - Mathews, Nicks, Garcon and Smith

There's a lot of news swimming around on Sunday mornings. Around the League keeps you up to date with the biggest injury news so far.

Analysis: Mathews is expected to miss this week's game, while Pierre Garcon is officially inactive. However, impact WRs Hakeem Nicks (NYG) and Steve Smith (CAR) are active and will play in Week 2.

Though Garcon wants to run and test out his foot prior to Sunday's game against the Rams, he is unlikely to play, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports.

Analysis: The Redskins kick off at 4:05 ET on Sunday, which complicates matters for fantasy owners inclined to wait it out, but the odds don't look good here for Garcon. Aldrick Robinson would likely see added opportunities Sunday if Garcon sits.

Pierre Garcon: (Foot) Likely Out Sunday

Garcon (foot) isn't expected to be available Sunday, CBS Sports reports.

Analysis: Garcon was highly limited during practice this week after a rousing Week 1 performance.

"It's pretty hard to play when the first time you really even try it is [warm-ups] before the game," a Redskins source said.

Pierre Garcon: (Foot) Game-Time Call Sunday

Garcon (foot) is a game-time decision for Sunday's game against St. Louis, Washington Times writer Rich Campbell reports.

Analysis: Mike Shanahan said Garcon improved Friday after a limited practice Thursday, but his status is still up in the air for Sunday. Aldrick Robinson saw the most attention last week after Garcon left the game.

Garcon (foot) was very limited in practice Thursday according coach Mike Shanahan, and Redskins coaches don't know whether or not the wideout can play Sunday against the Rams, the Washington Post reports.

Analysis: We'll have to see what Garcon does Friday and how the Redskins officially list him, but Shanahan did indicate Thursday that Aldrick Robinson could start this week if Garcon is unable to suit up.

Pierre Garcon: (Foot) Very Limited

Coach Mike Shanahan characterized Garcon (foot) as "very limited" at practice Thursday, Grant Paulsen of 106.7 The Fan DC reports.

Analysis: Shanahan says that he will get a better feel for whether or not Garcon will be able to play in Week 2's game against the Rams at practice Friday. At this point though Garcon is looking iffy enough for his owners to look into a replacement option, but his outlook could, of course, improve by Friday.

Pierre Garcon: (Foot) Misses Practice Wednesday

Garcon (foot) did not practice Wednesday, Grant Paulsen of 106.7 The Fan DC reports.

Analysis: Garcon seems optimistic about playing Sunday against the Rams, but he still remains in the day-to-day category.

Garcon (foot) does not expect to miss any game action, Grant Paulsen of 106.7 The Fan DC reports.

Analysis: Garcon left Sunday's game at New Orleans during the first quarter and did not return. However, when speaking on his injury, the receiver revealed, "I'm feeling good. I should be good to go next week." Garcon will have his foot checked again this week, but initial X-rays were negative.

Garcon injured the top of his foot Sunday, but X-rays afterward were negative, according to Grant Paulsen 106.7 The Fan in DC.

Analysis: Garcon's foot was sore enough for the Redskins to sit him after sustaining his injury, but he did manage four catches for 109 yards with a touchdown, before he departed from the contest in the first quarter.

Pierre Garcon: Foot Injury

Garcon is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Saints, after he sustained a foot injury, the Washington Times reports.

Analysis: Garcon had four catches for 109 yards with a touchdown prior to suffering the injury, as he displayed early chemistry with rookie QB Robert Griffin in the contest.

Garcon had three catches for 29 yards during Saturday's preseason game against the Colts.

Analysis: Garcon continues to build a solid rapport with rookie quarterback Robert Griffin both in practice and during the preseason games. He was one of Washington's big free agent acquisitions this offseason and is expected to play a large role in the Redskins' revamped passing attack.

Garcon had three receptions for 58 yards and a 20-yard touchdown in Washington's preseason opener on Thursday night.

Analysis: It was a nice start for the Redskins' biggest free-agent acquisition as his touchdown came in the early going on a throw from Robert Griffin III. If he and Griffin can develop a solid early rapport, Garcon could be in for a nice season.

Redskins WRs shuffle behind Garcon

Pierre Garcon is the unquestioned No. 1 WR for the Redskins, but the pecking order behind him will be among the camp stories to watch. During the team's first training camp practice, it was Josh Morgan who lined up opposite Garcon, with Santana Moss in the slot. Leonard Hankerson will be another player to watch, as he returns from an injury which limited him in 2011.

Analysis: Garcon is the most fantasy relevant, considered a No. 3 WR in drafts. If Morgan holds onto the starting gig opposite Garcon, fantasy owners might have to consider him over Moss as a decent flex/reserve player. Still, there are too many questions on what this offense will look like to make a decision any time soon.

Garcon's deal with the Redskins is reportedly a five-year, $42.5 million contract that includes $21.5 million in guaranteed money, the Washington Post reports.

Analysis: Garcon gives the Redskins a deep threat for Robert Griffin III and the team didn't stop there Tuesday. Fellow wideout Josh Morgan was also signed, with Eddie Royal reportedly on the team's radar as well.

Pierre Garcon: Joining Redskins

Garcon announced via his Facebook page that he will sign with the Redskins.

Analysis: Terms might not be disclosed for a while, but it's safe to assume that the swiftness Garcon showed in joining the Redskins is a safe indication that big dollars are involved. He'll be expected to be the team's top receiver in 2012.

Pierre Garcon: Talking With Redskins, Rams

Garcon is in contract talks with Washington, Yahoo! Sports' Jason Cole reports, while ESPN's Adam Schefter reports that the Rams are also involved.

Analysis: It's not clear how far along things might be nor whether Garcon plans to make other stops, but owner Dan Snyder rarely fails to buy what he wants. It's not clear which team might have more interest.

Pierre Garcon: Avoids Franchise Tag

The Colts used their franchise tag on Robert Mathis, not Garcon, Indianapolis Star writer Bob Kravitz reports.

Analysis: If the two sides can't agree to a deal before March 13, Garcon would head toward unrestricted free agency and would figure to land himself a hefty contract as a result. Despite dealing with the likes of Kerry Collins, Curtis Painter and Dan Orlovsky at quarterback, Garcon caught 70 passes for 947 yards and six touchdowns as a 25-year-old in 2011.

Pierre Garcon: Turns Down Five-Year Contract Offer

Garcon, who is set to become an unrestricted free agent, recently turned down a five-year contract offer, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Analysis: The report doesn't include any financial details, so it's hard too figure out exactly what this mean's for Indy's offseason plans. The Colts are expected to release Peyton Manning rather than pay him a large bonus payment and rebuild, but it's not clear how the team plans to address its many high-profile free agents (including Reggie Wayne and Robert Mathis). However, this could also indicate Garcon doesn't want to return to Indy if Manning isn't part of the equation.

Garcon had two receptions for 22 yards in Sunday's loss to Jacksonville. He finished the season with 70 receptions for 947 yards and six touchdowns, which were all career highs.

Analysis: Garcon continued to improve in his fourth season and became the primary target in the offense at times. However, much of his production came in just three games where he had a combined 421 yards and six touchdowns. He may enter 2012 as the top wideout if Reggie Wayne leaves as a free agent.

Garcon had six receptions for 50 yards in Thursday's win over Houston.

Analysis: While he didn't have a touchdown or reception longer than 16 yards, Garcon was targeted 12 times and remains Dan Orlovsky's first or second read.

Garcon had just two receptions for 24 yards in Sunday's win over Tennessee.

Analysis: The Colts attempted just 17 passes and Garcon actually led the team in targets with four, so his lack of production was more a product of the offense moving the ball on the ground.

Garcon had five receptions for 46 yards in Sunday's loss to Baltimore.

Analysis: Garcon led the Colts with 12 targets for a second consecutive week, so he may continue to be Dan Orlovsky's top target. Unfortunately, Indy's offensive line gave Orlovsky very little time to throw the ball. However, the passing offense should improve next week against Tennessee.

Garcon grabbed nine passes (12 targets) for 150 yards with a pair of touchdowns in Sunday's loss to the Patriots.

Analysis: Garcon scored both of his touchdowns in the final couple of minutes, but showed a strong rapport with Dan Orlovsky in general. Garcon's fantasy value did not look good with Curtis Painter at the helm, so there appears to be some hope for Garcon over the final four weeks.

Garcon had three receptions for 34 yards and two carries for two yards in Sunday's loss to Carolina.

Analysis: Garcon was targeted a team-high eight times. Hoewever, Curtis Painter struggled with his accuracy - which included underthrowing Garcon on a deep pass in the end zone when Garcon appeared to be open. It's good that Garcon remains Painter's favorite target, but his lack of accuracy and the overall struggles of the Indy offense limit Garcon's upside.

Garcon had three receptions for 30 yards in Sunday's loss to Jacksonville. He also had one carry for 18 yards and returned four punts for 11 yards.

Analysis: Garcon scored four touchdowns in Curtis Painter's first two starts, but Painter has struggled since and Garcon's fantasy value has plummeted. The Colts may switch to Dan Orlovsky after Indy's bye week, but it doesn't appear that offers a significant upside to the passing game.
