some things they didn't expect me to be able to do until next week."

ice in New York.  Some are saying that another bad performance will

QB Steve McNair (Ten) did not practice on Wednesday, but he is
expected to be able to play this weekend.

*** THURSDAY UPDATE *** QB Steve McNair (Ten) only took part in
individual drills and some 7 on 7 work on Thursday, and it looks like
he could sit this weekend.  "I'm trying to fight through some of the
pain and get some throwing in," said McNair.  "They thing we're
worried about now is 'can I take a hit.  If I do take the right hit,
it's going to knock me out two to three more weeks.  That's the
Catch-22 we're working with right now." Coach Jeff Fisher had this to
say: "He is a little better. He was a little sore this morning from
what he did [Wednesday], but he loosened up in the training room and
he got out and moved around and threw the ball."

*** FRIDAY UPDATE *** QB Steve McNair (Ten) threw some on Friday, but
he did not take part in any team drills.  He will be a game-time
decision for this weekend. "He is better today," head coach Jeff
Fisher said of McNair. "He ran and he threw the ball around a little
bit. The same with [Brown]. Chris got on the field and did some
drills. He participated in a walk through, which he hadn't done, so
both of them are better and will probably be game time decisions. ..."

Pressed as to whether McNair is really ready to play, Fisher said: "We
are going to take him out there (for pre-game warm-ups) and see how he
does. "Now if for some reason he feels he can't go because of the
contact then he probably wont participate much in the warm-ups, but I
would assume that he is going to have his gear on and be ready to
play."

*** THURSDAY UPDATE *** QB Billy Volek (Ten) took the first-team snaps
on Wednesday and Thursday and will likely start this weekend.



Running Backs

*** THURSDAY UPDATE *** RB Josh Scobey (Ari) practiced on Thursday and
will likely be available to play this weekend.

*** FRIDAY UPDATE *** RB Josh Scobey (Ari) practiced on Friday and
will be available to play this weekend.

RB Stephen Davis (Car) practiced on Wednesday, but he will most likely
be a game-time decision again.  If there is swelling in his knee
Sunday morning he will not play.

*** THURSDAY UPDATE *** RB Stephen Davis (Car) did not practice on
Thursday.  His situation is still a wait-and-see, but his knee simply
has swelling after he practices. Coach John Fox said there was no
change to the injury report following Thursday's practice: "The only
difference is Stephen Davis did not practice today as well as Brad
Hoover. ... Stephen is still questionable."

*** FRIDAY UPDATE *** RB Stephen Davis (Car) will not play this
weekend.  There is talk that Davis could soon opt for season-ending
surgery on his ailing knee.

*** SATURDAY UPDATE *** RB Stephen Davis (Car) has in fact been placed
on the injured reserve list and will be lost for the remainder of the
season.

likely start.

RB Brad Hoover (Car) did not practice on Wednesday and could sit this
weekend with his injured back.

*** THURSDAY UPDATE *** RB Brad Hoover (Car) did not practice on
Thursday and may sit this weekend.

*** FRIDAY UPDATE *** RB Brad Hoover (Car) practiced on Friday and
will most likely start this weekend. "He's very valuable," said
quarterback Jake Delhomme. "I think that's something that gets
overlooked sometimes. They want somebody who might look great on paper
or run the fastest, but Brad is a complete football player. You take
someone like Brad or Kris Mangum, and you can't say enough about them
and the different roles they play for the team, including special
teams.

"Those are the kind of football players that you keep around because
they're the type of guys who make your football team better. Brad's
one of those guys who makes us better."

RB Thomas Jones (Chi) practiced on Wednesday and could play this
weekend.  However, it is likely that the team will wait until Jones is
completely healthy before allowing him back on the field.

*** THURSDAY UPDATE *** RB Thomas Jones (Chi) practiced again on
Thursday and might be able to play this weekend. "Right now, we're
trying to get him back to a position where he can for sure play,"
coach Lovie Smith said. "He practiced, but we're still monitoring how
he really feels. He's not 100 percent right now."

*** FRIDAY UPDATE *** RB Thomas Jones (Chi) did not practice on Friday
and has been named a game-time decision.  However, the lack of work on
Friday has us leaning toward Jones sitting or at best getting a
handful of carries off the bench. "We won't bring anybody back unless
they're I can't say 100 percent but as close to 100 percent as
possible and they're ready to play," head coach Lovie Smith after
Friday's workout.

"It does help to have a running back like Anthony who has averaged
over 100 yards the last two games. That helps an awful lot and also to
have Adrian Peterson there. We won't rush Thomas back until he's ready
to play."

RB Jeremi Johnson (Cin) did not practice on Wednesday but should play
this weekend despite his injured hamstring.

*** THURSDAY UPDATE *** FB Jeremi Johnson (Cin) did not practice on
Thursday but will likely play this weekend.

*** FRIDAY UPDATE *** FB Jeremi Johnson (Cin) practiced on Friday and

might play this weekend.

*** FRIDAY UPDATE *** RB Chris Perry (Cin) did not practice on Friday
and will likely sit this weekend.

RB Julius Jones (Dal) will sit again this weekend with his injured shoulder.

RB ReShard Lee (Dal) is missing out on playing time because of his
lack of pass-blocking skills.  According to HC Bill Parcells, when Lee
is "not returning the ball on kickoffs he's a liability."  That's not
exactly a ringing endorsement.

FB Stephen Trejo (Det) did not practice on Wednesday and should sit
this weekend with his injured knee.

*** THURSDAY UPDATE *** FB Stephen Trejo (Det) did not practice on
Thursday and will likely sit this weekend.

*** FRIDAY UPDATE *** FB Stephen Trejo (Det) did not practice on

Thursday and will likely sit this weekend.

*** FRIDAY UPDATE *** RB Tony Hollings (Hou) will not play this weekend.

*** THURSDAY UPDATE *** RB Derrick Blaylock (KC) practiced again in
Thursday and will likely start this weekend. When asked how Blaylock
looked in practice, coach Dick Vermeil said, "Good. When you work like
he does, you know what to expect from him."

*** FRIDAY UPDATE *** RB Derrick Blaylock (KC) practiced again on
Friday and will start this weekend.

RB Priest Holmes (KC) did not practice on Wednesday and is listed as
doubtful on the team's injury report.  Holmes has played injured far
too often to be counted out, but it will take a good bit of
improvement to see him on the field this weekend.  Derrick Blaylock is
listed as questionable, but he practiced on Wednesday and is expected
to start if Holmes can not go.

*** THURSDAY UPDATE *** RB Priest Holmes (KC) missed another day of
practice on Thursday and will likely sit this weekend.

*** FRIDAY UPDATE *** RB Priest Holmes (KC) is still listed as
doubtful, but it looks like he won't play this weekend unless he makes
a huge comeback Saturday.

Asked after Friday's practice if everybody on the offense has to make
a bigger contribution if Holmes doesn't play, head coach Dick Vermeil
said that wasn't the case.

"I don't think anybody's thinking that," the coach explained. "We all
know how valuable Priest Holmes is, but we're thinking we're just
going to go and play football. But our defense has to play better and
not give up the big play.

"Offensively, we've proven we can play with Derrick Blaylock and,
hopefully, Larry Johnson will grow a little bit from last week's
experience. You don't replace Priest Holmes. You take him out of the
huddle you lose something, that's all there is to it. How much we
won't know until the game's over."

RB Mewelde Moore (Min) did not practice on Wednesday and could sit
this weekend with his injured ankle.

Thursday and will most likely sit this weekend.

Friday and will most likely sit this weekend.

RB Onterrio Smith (Min) has been named the team's starting RB.

*** FRIDAY UPDATE *** RB Onterrio Smith (Min) practiced on Friday, but
he has a shoulder stinger and might not start this weekend.  HC Mike
Tice said Michael Bennett may be given the starting assignment.  At
this time, however, it still looks like Smith will receive the
majority of carries.

weekend with his injured back.

decision.

*** FRIDAY UPDATE *** FB Dan Kreider (Pit) practiced on Friday and

*** FRIDAY UPDATE *** RB Willie Parker (Pit) will back up Jerome
Bettis this week and likely see action in 3rd down situations. The

call him "Fast Willie".)

RB Duce Staley (Pit) did not practice on Wednesday and could sit this
weekend with his injured hamstring.

*** THURSDAY UPDATE *** RB Duce Staley (Pit) did not practice on
Thursday and may sit this weekend.  He will likely be a game-time
decision.

FB Andrew Pinnock (SD) has been suspended for four games for violating

*** THURSDAY UPDATE *** RB Chris Brown (Ten) did not practice on

(have Brown practice Friday) said coach Jeff Fisher. ''He may get some
reps tomorrow (Friday), we'll have to see.''

*** FRIDAY UPDATE *** RB Chris Brown (Ten) did not practice on Friday,
but he will still likely play this weekend. Said coach Jeff Fisher:
"Chris got in some shoes, ran on the field three quarter speed and
felt pretty good. He participated in a walk through. He is much better
right now than he was the Friday before the Cincinnati game.

"That tells you something, which is encouraging for us. I think the
decision to hold him back and keep him out was good. He as has been
doing a lot inside so his conditioning is not an issue. He has been
involved in the plan so barring any setbacks between now and Sunday it
looks like he will have a chance to do some things."

Asked if Brown's turf toe will ever fully heal this season, Fisher
admitted that wasn't necessarily the case. "Our hope is that because
of what we have done the last couple of weeks it will eventually be
able to be put behind him," the coach explained. "It is going to be
sore, but is should not be something that causes him to miss practice
throughout the rest of the season."

*** THURSDAY UPDATE *** FB Rock Cartwright (Was) practiced on Thursday
and will likely play this weekend.

*** FRIDAY UPDATE *** RB Rock Cartwright (Was) practiced on Friday and
will likely play this weekend.

weekend.

*** FRIDAY UPDATE *** WR Roy Williams (Det) practiced on Friday and
barring a setback will play this weekend. He's still less than 100%
with the injured left ankle and is reportedly battling plantar
fasciitis in his right foot. It's not uncommon for athletes to develop
a stress related secondary injury as they compensate for the initial
injury. Remember this is a condition Viking WR Randy Moss has fought
off and on for a while. Bottom line for Williams is that he expects to
be able to play through the injuries.

sit out again this weekend to allow his hamstring to heal.

actually played, Green Bay defensive coordinator Bob Slowik said: "Not
really. Because, first of all, we're assuming he's going to play."
