Calvin Johnson continues to use the word "concussion" to describe the after-effects of the jarring hit he took in Week 4 from Vikings linebacker Chad Greenway. But as he described the lingering symptoms of that hit Thursday, it's apparent that what he suffered was more of a stinger, the pinching of nerves in the neck and shoulder area.

The team is saying Johnson only suffered from a stinger. 'I have not suffered any nerve damage nor have I received any treatment for nerve damage. I did suffer a stinger and have also experienced the kind of wear and tear that most NFL players are dealing with at this point in the season,' Johnson said.

It was hard to like Rey Maualuga after such a horrible let down in his first season at middle linebacker a year ago. Maualuga played in the middle in college, and it only made sense he would at least give us respectable LB3 numbers for a cheep price but he struggled, perhaps because of poor conditioning and little time to work in the off-season with this coaching staff, because of the lockout.

Whatever the reason(s) Maualuga is putting together the kind of numbers we expected last year and it appears he has a firm grasp on a three down role.

Since that time Jerrell Freeman has performed like an LB1 for fantasy leagues and while we should expect him to move back to an exclusive sub-package role when Angerer returns, he’s worth having in your lineup while starting.

It took Aldon Smith a few games into his rookie year to make an impact for the 49ers, but since his breakout game week four against the Eagles, Smith has gone on to post 13 sacks in the past 11 games. In that time, Smith has only failed to post a sack in three games, and he has five and a half sacks in his last three games. A hobbled Ben Roethlisberger felt the wrath of Smith, and he should have had three and a half sack on Monday Night, but one was taken away on a weak penalty, in the secondary.

Before the news that Von Miller underwent thumb surgery on Wednesday, I had him ranked as the second linebacker on our week 13 linebacker rankings. Miller is on fire of late with ten total tackles each of the past two games, as he continues to rack up sacks weekly. Clearly, the defensive rookie of the year, Miller is showing us why it is ok to select an outside linebacker in the top five picks, on draft day.

At this time, Miller is vowing to play, but many times players feel like they will be on the field only to be held out come game day. If Miller should play this week, make sure you get him in the lineup, so keep an eye on his progress this weekend.

What a tear Chad Greenway has been on of late as the veteran now has 88 total tackles (60 solos) this year and is playing like one of the best IDP linebackers around. As IDP goes, it’s hard to find those players that put up trust-worthy numbers’ year after year, and even harder when they play from the strong-side at linebacker.

Greenway has earned the right to be a matchup proof starter down the stretch, but with the Vikings defense on the field, most of the time (especially when All Day is out), Greenway could finish as one of the top five scorers at his position at the end of the year.

I had high expectations for Daryl Washington when I learned he would likely win a starting job this summer. The Cardinals have had a long history of IDP success from the inside linebacker positions and Washington seemed like the next possible, low end, LB-1 of the future. Washington has struggled through some injuries, and has had lack luster stretches, but in recent weeks Washington has been playing well.

Look for Washington to have another double digit tackle game as the Cardinals defense figures to be on the field a decent amount against San Francisco. Look for the 49ers to run the football early and often likely going with Kendall Hunter most of the time.

Last week was supposed to be a bad matchup for Sean Weatherspoon, but he still managed to post ten tackles against the Colts meager offense. While Curtis Lofton remains an active linebacker in the middle, Weatherspoon is clearly one of the better outside linebackers for tackles in the league. In five of Weatherspoon’s first eight games, this year (70 on the year, 49 solos), he has at least ten tackles and unlike Lofton, Weatherspoon sprinkles in some sacks throughout the season as well.

After his performance against the Colts, consider Weatherspoon matchup proof as the Falcons tend to rely on their two star linebackers to make most of the plays.
