FRIDAY UPDATES

Quarterbacks

*** FRIDAY UPDATE *** QB Jake Delhomme (Car) did not throw the ball in
Friday's practice as he recovers from his injured thumb.  He remains
questionable, but he still thinks he'll be able to play. Coach John
Fox sound cautiously optimistic. "He's day-to-day, and he'll take
snaps tomorrow," Fox said. "I'm still optimistic. … That it's
day-to-day." He's expected to throw on Saturday so we'll have a better
gauge there. If he can't go, Rodney Peete would start.

*** FRIDAY UPDATE *** QB Vinny Testaverde (Dal) practiced on Friday
and will start this weekend.

*** FRIDAY UPDATE *** QB Byron Leftwich (Jac) worked lightly in
Friday's practice but will not play this weekend.

*** FRIDAY UPDATE *** QB Matt Hasselbeck (Sea) did not practice on
Friday.  He has been downgraded to questionable and will be a
game-time decision.

Trent Dilfer took all the snaps with Seattle's No. 1 offense and will
start if Hasselbeck cannot play.
"We'll still wait until Sunday to make the decision," HC Mike Holmgren
said.  "But if he's not noticeably better, then Trent will play."

*** FRIDAY UPDATE *** QB Brian Griese (TB) practiced on Friday and is
expected to play this weekend.



Running Backs

*** FRIDAY UPDATE *** RB Emmitt Smith (Ari) practiced on Friday and
has been upgraded to probable on the injury report.  He is expected to
play but will likely be less than full speed. Swelling had been a
problem this week with his ankle and the team will have to see if he
has problems there on Saturday after Friday's work.

*** FRIDAY UPDATE *** RB Joey Harris (Car) has been lost for the
remainder of the season after being placed on the injured reserve list
with his injured hamstring.

*** FRIDAY UPDATE *** RB Thomas Jones (Chi) practiced on Friday and
will play this weekend.  Whether he or Anthony Thomas get the start
will be a game-time decision, but both backs will get carries this
weekend.

Head coach Lovie Smith hesitated to name him the starter ahead of
Anthony Thomas. "We don't want to go that far yet, but he'll be a big
part of our game plan,'' Smith said. "We'll lead him back a little
bit, but we anticipate him stepping in and being a big factor. Both
guys figure to play, no matter what. Anthony has played well and has
proved that he deserves some reps. We feel like we have two tailbacks
we can use.''

*** FRIDAY UPDATE *** RB Anthony Thomas (Chi) will lose carries this
week as Thomas Jones returns. Said coach Lovie Smith, "Both guys
figure to play, no matter what. Anthony has played well and has proved
that he deserves some reps. We feel like we have two tailbacks we can
use.''

*** FRIDAY UPDATE *** RB Chris Perry (Cin) practiced on Friday and is
expected to play this weekend.

*** FRIDAY UPDATE *** FB Stephen Trejo (Det) practiced on Friday and
is expected to play this weekend.

*** FRIDAY UPDATE *** RB Travis Minor (Mia) practiced on Friday and is
expected to play this weekend.

and will start this weekend.

will start this weekend.

*** FRIDAY UPDATE *** RB Mike Alstott (TB) practiced on Friday and is
expected to play this weekend.

*** FRIDAY UPDATE *** RB Chris Brown (Ten) missed practice again on
Friday and is still wearing the protective boot for his injured toe.
The team says that he's improving and that he's pretty much in the
same shape he was last week at this time, although there seems to be a
good bit of doubt as to whether he'll play.

He'll see how he feels Saturday and will likely be a game time decision.

but his situation has not changed.  He is not expected to play this

remains doubtful for Sunday's game.

However, his progress has coaches optimistic about Moss' chances for
playing next weekend against Jacksonville.

"He looks great," head coach Mike Tice said. "(He looks) like Moss."
You have to understand Mike Tice's personality there when he says
that. We still believe it looks like he'll miss Sunday's game and come
back for week 12.

ALL OF THE NEWS

Quarterbacks

*** THURSDAY UPDATE *** QB Josh McCown (Ari) practiced on Wednesday
and Thursday and will start this weekend.

*** THURSDAY UPDATE *** QB Drew Bledsoe (Buf) still has the confidence
of his head coach (at least publicly). Now he's trying to rebuild his
own confidence. "The biggest challenge playing the position of
quarterback is being hardheaded enough to move on," Bledsoe said
Wednesday. "I've had a couple of long nights tossing and turning. And
I'm moving on, moving forward."

QB Jake Delhomme (Car) did not practice on Wednesday and is day-to-day
with a hairline fracture in the thumb.  He says he will play this
weekend, but he might need to prove himself in practice at least one
day this week.

*** THURSDAY UPDATE *** QB Jake Delhomme (Car) did not practice fully
with the team on Thursday, but threw with positive results on the
side. The team still hopes he'll be able to play this weekend. "I was
encouraged, very encouraged -- we'll leave it at that," said Delhomme.
The QB thinks he'll play this week, although he's questionable on the
team's injury report.

"I plan on trying to play if I can," Delhomme said. "But I don't know
how it will react overnight and again tomorrow. I've got to see now if
it swells up. But I will take every precaution to get it right."

Delhomme said his thumb is far from 100 percent. "I'm not going to
lie, there's pain there," Delhomme said. "But there's going to be pain
there for the rest of the season. That's just the way it is. It's
gotten better. I anticipate it getting better the rest of the season."

Head coach John Fox said Delhomme looked accurate with his passes. He
remains optimistic Delhomme will start Sunday. "The way he threw the
ball he looked fine at this point," Fox said. "We'll just evaluate him
day to day."

*** FRIDAY UPDATE *** QB Jake Delhomme (Car) did not throw the ball in
Friday's practice as he recovers from his injured thumb.  He remains
questionable, but he still thinks he'll be able to play. Coach John
Fox sound cautiously optimistic. "He's day-to-day, and he'll take
snaps tomorrow," Fox said. "I'm still optimistic. … That it's
day-to-day." He's expected to throw on Saturday so we'll have a better
gauge there. If he can't go, Rodney Peete would start.

*** THURSDAY UPDATE *** QB Vinny Testaverde (Dal) did not practice on
Thursday due to illness, but he is expected to play this weekend.

*** FRIDAY UPDATE *** QB Vinny Testaverde (Dal) practiced on Friday
and will start this weekend.

QB David Garrard (Jac) will again start in place of the injured Byron
Leftwich and should benefit from another week of practice with the
first team. "Going through the trenches, going through the battle, the
overtime situation, I'm definitely more comfortable," he said. "But
not too comfortable that I'm getting ahead of myself or getting a big
head or anything like that. There's no room for that in this game."

QB Byron Leftwich (Jac) did not practice on Wednesday and will most
likely sit this weekend with his injured knee. "It's been recommended
that he not try to push it," coach Jack Del Rio said. "He's wanting to
play, saying 'Don't rule me out yet.' But the smartest thing to do is
to rest him this week. We're not going to put him in a position to
take a step back."

*** THURSDAY UPDATE *** QB Byron Leftwich (Jac) did not practice on
Thursday and remains very unlikely to play this weekend.

*** FRIDAY UPDATE *** QB Byron Leftwich (Jac) worked lightly in
Friday's practice but will not play this weekend.

QB A.J. Feeley (Mia) has been moved into the starting lineup in place
of the injured and struggling Jay Fielder.

QB Jay Fiedler (Mia) practiced on Wednesday despite his shoulder and
neck injuries, and he is expected to be available to play this weekend
as the team's #2 QB.

QB Eli Manning (NYG) has been moved into the starting lineup in place
of the struggling Kurt Warner.

QB Quincy Carter (NYJ) will again start in place of the injured Chad Pennington.

QB Chad Pennington (NYJ) will not play this weekend due to his injured
shoulder.  "He's getting better", said HC Herman Edwards.  "He's going
to do some things, but he's not ready to throw.  Maybe he'll have a
shot (to throw) next week.  We'll know more then, but I think maybe
next week he can do some more things."

QB Matt Hasselbeck (Sea) will take it easy in practice this week with
his injured knee, but he is expected to play this weekend.

*** FRIDAY UPDATE *** QB Matt Hasselbeck (Sea) did not practice on
Friday.  He has been downgraded to questionable and will be a
game-time decision.

Trent Dilfer took all the snaps with Seattle's No. 1 offense and will
start if Hasselbeck cannot play.
"We'll still wait until Sunday to make the decision," HC Mike Holmgren
said.  "But if he's not noticeably better, then Trent will play."

QB Brian Griese (TB) did not practice on Wednesday, but he is expected
to play this weekend despite his injured shoulder.  "He was very, very
limited," said coach Jon Gruden. "He's still sore from the game.
Hopefully he gets his mobility back and can get out there and throw
tomorrow.

"Sometimes quarterbacks, when they get hit in a game, take a couple of
days to return to the practice field, and he's no different. He took
way too many hits and his body's sore. But he is getting better and
hopefully he'll be out there tomorrow. ..."

*** THURSDAY UPDATE *** QB Brian Griese (TB) practiced on Thursday and
is expected to play this weekend.

*** FRIDAY UPDATE *** QB Brian Griese (TB) practiced on Friday and is
expected to play this weekend.

QB Steve McNair (Ten) is expected to take the majority of practice
snaps and is pointing toward playing this weekend.  However, he will
likely be a game-time decision.

"Throwing, running around is not the issue, but he appears to be
better at this point. We will see how he moves around. We believe he
is improving and we are encouraged at where he is right now, but we
still have to wait, probably in all likelihood until game time," coach
Jeff Fisher said.

*** THURSDAY UPDATE *** QB Steve McNair (Ten) practiced fully on
Thursday.  He remains a game-time decision, but barring a setback it
looks like he'll be able to play. He sounds happy he was able to rest
the injury. "I can go out and throw pain free. Hopefully, I don't get
hit at all, but I know it's going to come. ... It's just a matter of
taking that one direct hit and putting me back out. Hopefully, I can
avoid that," McNair said.

"[Steve] has done enough on the field; he's doing everything we
expected him to do, except for taking a hit," coach Jeff Fisher said.
"We'll have to make that decision obviously on Sunday as to whether or
not we feel he is able to do that. He looks good at this point."

QB Patrick Ramsey (Was) has been moved into the starting lineup in
place of the struggling Mark Brunell. The team is expected to be
patient with him and doesn't want him looking over his shoulder.
"Hopefully there won't be reason for patience," Ramsey said.
"Hopefully I can go in there and play well."

to play this weekend despite his injured ankle.

days," Smith stated. "It'll be determined how I run tomorrow and how I

this week."

will play this weekend.  Whether he or Anthony Thomas get the start

part of our game plan,'' Smith said. "We'll lead him back a little
bit, but we anticipate him stepping in and being a big factor. Both
guys figure to play, no matter what. Anthony has played well and has
proved that he deserves some reps. We feel like we have two tailbacks
we can use.''

game against Jacksonville. He is listed as doubtful for this week's
game.

"I think he's doing a good job of rehabbing," Tice said. "I think the

quickly. We're right on it."

against the Lions.

get ready to play against him, and maybe they won't." Most don't
expect Moss to play this week but stay tuned to see how this plays
