*** FRIDAY UPDATE *** QB Jake Delhomme (Car) practiced on Friday and
is expected to play this weekend.

*** FRIDAY UPDATE *** QB Jeff Garcia (Cle) took reps with the scout

Friday and will be a game-time decision for this weekend.

Sunday. Keep an eye on Jeff Garcia's progress as well.

on Friday and has been downgraded to doubtful for this weekend.  He is
not expected to play.

*** FRIDAY UPDATE *** RB Jamal Lewis (Bal) did not practice all week
and will not play this weekend. In fact, some reports are saying he
won't be back until the December 19 game. Asked if Lewis' injury could
extend past this week, head coach Brian Billick said yesterday, "I
have no idea. When he says he's ready to go and the trainers say he's
ready to go, he'll go. We can't worry about how long-term these things
are unless it really takes a medical turn that prompts us to do
something else."

*** FRIDAY UPDATE *** RB Steven Jackson (StL) looks ready to carry the
load as the starter. "It's something I've been preparing myself for
the whole season," Jackson said. "It's not something that's going to

situation where I knew what could possibly happen at the end of the
year. It's a long, grueling season."

ALL OF THE NEWS

Quarterbacks

QB Jake Delhomme (Car) rested his thumb on Wednesday, but he is
expected to start as usual this weekend.

*** THURSDAY UPDATE *** QB Jake Delhomme (Car) practiced on Thursday
and is expected to start this weekend.

*** FRIDAY UPDATE *** QB Jake Delhomme (Car) practiced on Friday and
is expected to play this weekend.

QB Jeff George (Chi) has been signed by the team as a backup.

QB Chad Hutchinson (Chi) will start for the team this weekend.

QB Jeff Garcia (Cle) did not practice on Wednesday, and his status for
this weekend is not fully known due to his injured shoulder. He's
officially listed as questionable.

*** THURSDAY UPDATE *** QB Jeff Garcia (Cle) was able to throw a few
passes on Thursday and has not been ruled out for this weekend. He was
limited both in the number of throws and the distance, but interim
coach Terry Robiskie said Garcia's strained shoulder is getting better
and his progress will be monitored through the weekend.

*** FRIDAY UPDATE *** QB Jeff Garcia (Cle) took reps with the scout
team on Friday and has been upgraded to probable. However, he'll still
be a game time decision and could wind up as the #2 QB behind Luke
McCown. Several unofficial sources have McCown as the starter.

QB Kelly Holcomb (Cle) did not practice on Wednesday, and his status
for this weekend is not fully known due to his injured ribs. He's
officially listed as questionable. Several sources are reporting he'll
miss 2-3 weeks. Interim coach Terry Robiskie is more optimistic and
said he's open to letting Holcomb play if he feels better by the end
of the week, even if he doesn't practice much. "I think Kelly played
extremely well last Sunday," Robiskie said. "If he feels Saturday his
body is well, if he's healthy and ready to go, I have no problem.

Here's what Holcomb is saying: "Right now, I don't feel like I could
play. I'm really sore," Holcomb said Wednesday. "I played with a
broken jaw before," he said. "My mouth was wired shut. But the ribs
right now. ... It's kind of hard to breathe. It was tough out there
standing (at practice) today. I tried to go through the throwing
motions a couple times and it hurts. So we'll see what happens in the
latter part of the week."

*** THURSDAY UPDATE *** QB Kelly Holcomb (Cle) is still limited by his
injured ribs and was not able to fully participate in Thursday's
practice.  But coach Terry Robiskie didn't rule him out. Robiskie said
most of Holcomb's pain is on his left (non-throwing) side, and he'll
be given a chance to throw Friday and Saturday if he feels up to it.

"If the pain goes away," Robiskie said, "we'll go with it."

QB Luke McCown (Cle) could get the start if Garcia and Holcomb are
unable to go. Both veteran QBs will be evaluated later this week.
Interim coach Terry Robiskie seemed naturally cautious about throwing
McCown out there too early. "If you take Luke and throw him out there
this week against the New England Patriots, it might be good for the
organization. It might not be good for Luke," Robiskie said. "What do
you have to lose? You might have Luke to lose."

*** FRIDAY UPDATE *** QB Kelly Holcomb (Cle) did not practice on
Friday and will be a game-time decision for this weekend.

*** THURSDAY UPDATE *** QB Luke McCown (Cle) took most of the 1st team
snaps in Thursday's practice but will start only if Garcia and Holcomb
can not play. "I think every day I get better," McCown said. "At least
I try to. That's my focus. I felt more comfortable with the offense
(Thursday).

"The case is if Kelly [Holcomb] can go, he'll go. And if Jeff [Garcia]
can go, he'll go. Right now their focus is rehabbing and getting well,
so they don't need to take the reps. Right now I'm taking the reps,
but if they get ready to play, they'll play."

*** FRIDAY UPDATE *** QB Luke McCown (Cle) is looking like he may get
his first start Sunday. The team has not made any official
announcement but several sources indicate McCown will be the #1 QB
Sunday. Keep an eye on Jeff Garcia's progress as well.

QB Vinny Testaverde (Dal) will start for the team this weekend with
Drew Henson returning to his role as the team's backup QB.

QB B.J. Symons (Hou) has been lost for the remainder of the season
after being placed on the injured reserve list with his injured knee.

QB Trent Green (KC) did not practice on Wednesday, but he is expected
to start this weekend despite his injured ribs. He's officially listed
as questionable. "I'm planning on it (Green starting), and I think
he's planning on it," said HC Dick Vermeil.

*** THURSDAY UPDATE *** QB Trent Green (KC) did not practice again on
Thursday and remains questionable for this weekend.  However, it looks
like he'll play.  "The progress that we've made day-to-day, if that
continues, everything will be fine," Green said. "I plan on practicing
(Friday) and being ready to go by Sunday, that's my agenda."

Asked if he was considering sitting out Sunday's game, Green made his
feelings clear.

"No. I'm a little too hard-headed for that," he said. "I've had a few
people ask me about it. That would probably be the easy thing to do,
but it's really not in my nature. Especially with the team struggling
the way we are, it would be the easy thing to do, but the wrong thing
to do. I'm going to do everything I can to play."

Green added that getting ready to play with limited practice reps
won't be a problem.

"Well, definitely from a mental standpoint it is, just because I've
been in the system," Green said of preparing in a single practice
session. "From a physical standpoint it just depends how sore I feel
going into the practice and then coming out of the practice. If we
keep making progress like we have the last couple of days, I don't see
any reason why I shouldn't be able to play."

What is a little concerning is that Green was expected to practice
Thursday and did not. Keep a very close eye on what he does in
Friday's workout. Todd Collins has taken the first team snaps the last
two days in practice.

*** FRIDAY UPDATE *** QB Trent Green (KC) practiced on Friday and is
expected to start this weekend.  HC Dick Vermeil said Green told him
he felt good and there was no reason he could not play.  Vermeil said
the final decision would be made on Saturday.

QB A.J. Feeley (Mia) practiced on Wednesday and is expected to play
this weekend despite a variety of nagging injuries.

*** THURSDAY UPDATE *** QB A.J. Feeley (Mia) practiced on Thursday and
is expected to start this weekend.

*** FRIDAY UPDATE *** QB A.J. Feeley (Mia) practiced on Friday and is
expected to start this weekend.

QB Tom Brady (NE) practiced on Wednesday and is expected to play this
weekend despite his injured shoulder.  Note that Brady is always on
the injury report with his shoulder, but he has started every week
with incident.

QB Jim Miller (NE) practiced on Wednesday and is expected to be
available to play this weekend despite his injured shoulder.

QB Chad Pennington (NYJ) practiced on Wednesday.  "It went
surprisingly well," Pennington said of practice. "Today was the first
time I had to make some throws while I was making decisions and
reacting and moving in the pocket. That's totally different than the
rehab I have been going through for the past three weeks. I am anxious
to see how I feel when I wake up tomorrow morning and I will be
anxious to see how I feel Friday and I will definitely be anxious and
maybe even nervous to see how I feel Sunday."

*** THURSDAY UPDATE *** QB Chad Pennington (NYJ) practiced fully again
on Thursday, but he is still questionable for this weekend.  "Things
are going relatively well," Pennington said. "I'm just trying to get
back into the practice groove and get back my timing and accuracy and
things like that. I'm making progress but I'm definitely not where I
want to be."

probably going to hold him out [Thursday]. Billy [Volek] had a nice
practice today."

*** THURSDAY UPDATE *** QB Steve McNair (Ten) did not practice on
Thursday as expected.  Asked if McNair would practice Friday, coach
Jeff Fisher said, "I don't think he will get reps tomorrow. He has
been obviously watching and participating in the walkthrough, but I
don't think he will get reps. He is still sore." If McNair can't play
Sunday, backup Billy Volek will get his first start since getting the
call three weeks ago against the Bears.

and will be a game-time decision.  However, the reports are the he

also the case with Steve.'' McNair has not practiced at all this week.



Running Backs

weekend in place of the injured Emmitt Smith.

is expected to be the team's primary ball carrier with Emmitt Smith
injured.

RB Emmitt Smith (Ari) did not practice on Wednesday and is listed as
questionable with his sprained toe.  Larry Croom has already been
named the team's starting RB for this weekend so the team is not
expecting Smith to be at full strength if he can even play at all.

*** THURSDAY UPDATE *** RB Emmitt Smith (Ari) did not practice on
Thursday but may try to go on Friday.  If is able to take part and
comes out of the session fine, he will be able to play this weekend.
It sounds like he's rehabbing his injury pretty aggressively. "They
say two to three weeks with me and, in a lot of cases, it can be two
to three weeks," Smith said Thursday. "But the things that I do to
assist my body and the things we're doing inside the training room,
that's the normal protocol. The things I do extra on top of that is
something that I think will help speed up the normal protocol.

"I have some appointments today, and I look forward to seeing how
those appointments work and how everything comes together. So we'll
see how it feels tomorrow."

*** FRIDAY UPDATE *** RB Emmitt Smith (Ari) was not able to practice
on Friday and has been downgraded to doubtful for this weekend.  He is

figure it out."

*** THURSDAY UPDATE *** RB Jamal Lewis (Bal) is still in his walking
boot and almost certainly is not going to play this weekend.

*** FRIDAY UPDATE *** RB Jamal Lewis (Bal) did not practice all week
and will not play this weekend. In fact, some reports are saying he
won't be back until the December 19 game. Asked if Lewis' injury could
extend past this week, head coach Brian Billick said yesterday, "I
have no idea. When he says he's ready to go and the trainers say he's
ready to go, he'll go. We can't worry about how long-term these things
are unless it really takes a medical turn that prompts us to do
something else."

RBs Derrick Blaylock & Larry Johnson (KC) will reportedly continue to
share carries (as they did in week 12) until Priest Holmes returns.

RB Priest Holmes (KC) will not play this weekend due to his injured knee.

*** THURSDAY UPDATE *** RB Priest Holmes (KC) created quite a stir
yesterday when he posted on his website (www.31teampriest.com) the
message:

"To all Fantasy Football Players:

"Hey, everyone! I hope your 2004 season went a little better than
mine. If you had me on your team, I am sorry to have disappointed you
with the news of my knee injury. I hope with my absence you were still
able to rack up the points.

"Best wishes to all of you and much success!"

The ruckus started when the original message on his web site included
the line: "I am sorry to have disappointed you with the news of my
knee injury and not being able to finish out the season." The site
quickly removed the line about not being able to finish the season
which many people naturally interpreted to mean that he wouldn't play
again this year.

Asked if he believes Priest Holmes will return this season, coach Dick
Vermeil replied: "I think he is. You just can't define it. The normal
thing when a guy gets injured the medical people give you the
diagnosis that (it's) two weeks, three weeks, maybe four (weeks).

"But each guy's an individual. ... He is not ready to play now and he
won't play until he's 100 percent ready to play, and if he's never 100
percent then he won't play."

stitches in his knee a little more time to heal. He is expected to
start as usual this weekend.

*** THURSDAY UPDATE *** RB Tiki Barber (NYG) practiced on Thursday and
is expected to start as usual this weekend. He was held out of
practice yesterday to give the stitches in his knee a little more time
to heal. He also has a bruised shin. We don't expect either issue to
limit him Sunday.

*** FRIDAY UPDATE *** RB Tiki Barber (NYG) practiced on Friday and
will start as normal this weekend.

*** THURSDAY UPDATE *** RB Curtis Martin (NYJ) might be relied upon a
little more than usual if QB Chad Pennington is less than 100%. "Worst
case scenario -- you have to run the ball more," coach Herm Edwards
said. "It's always an option. It's been a pretty good option for us.
We have been able to run the ball for 140- something yards a game.
That's not all bad. That's a pretty good option."

FB Chris Hetherington (Oak) has been signed by the team.

RB Tyrone Wheatley (Oak) will not play this weekend due to his injured

*** THURSDAY UPDATE *** Kevan Barlow (SF) still has the confidence of
the coaching staff it seems. At least publicly. "Kevan, he's our guy,"
running backs coach Tim Lappano said. "We've just got to get him up in
there getting some positive yardage. He's struggling a bit with that
and I'm not really quite sure why." Maurice Hicks continues to see
more time at RB however.

*** THURSDAY UPDATE *** RB Marshall Faulk (StL) did not practice on
Thursday and has been downgraded to questionable for this weekend due
to a bone bruise in his left knee. Coach Mike Martz said the team
would lean on Steven Jackson. "He's (Jackson) going to carry the load
this week," Martz said. "We've got to give Marshall a chance to
recover."

Until now, the Rams have made no mention of Faulk's injury. "He's very
quiet about it and doesn't say anything about it, and doesn't want
anybody to know about it," Martz said. "But nonetheless, we need to do
the right thing by Marshall. He'll be involved with the game plan and
if he feels like he's ready to go on Sunday, great, great."

*** FRIDAY UPDATE *** RB Marshall Faulk (StL) did not practice on
Friday and will be a game time decision. Coach Mike Martz is hoping
the rest this week might allow him to play Sunday.  But even if Faulk
does play, Steven Jackson will start and be the team's primary RB.

*** THURSDAY UPDATE *** RB Steven Jackson (StL) is expected to start
for the team this weekend in place of the injured Marshall Faulk.
"He's (Jackson) going to carry the load this week," Martz said. "We've
got to give Marshall a chance to recover."

*** FRIDAY UPDATE *** RB Steven Jackson (StL) looks ready to carry the
load as the starter. "It's something I've been preparing myself for
the whole season," Jackson said. "It's not something that's going to
overwhelm me. I'm not going to feel any pressure by it. It was a
situation where I knew what could possibly happen at the end of the
year. It's a long, grueling season."

RB Chris Brown (Ten) did not practice on Wednesday, and his status for
this weekend is not fully known due to his injured toe. He's
officially questionable on the injury report. "Chris is about the same
as where he was last week," coach Jeff Fisher said. "I don't know that
we (should) run Chris too hard. Every step he takes is potentially a
step that will take away from Sunday so we're just going to continue
to let him rest and hopefully that heals up."

*** THURSDAY UPDATE *** RB Chris Brown (Ten) practiced on Thursday but
is expected to be a game-time decision for this weekend. Head coach
Jeff Fisher told reporters the artificial turf at the RCA Dome in
Indianapolis will not be a concern if Brown were to see action Sunday.

"The injury is misleading because it is referred to as a turf toe,"
Fisher said. "One would automatically assume it's associated with
Astroturf but it's not. Because he potentially would be wearing a
different shoe, it actually could be better for him."

Fisher added that Brown did work out individually on the side, but
"whether he does anything tomorrow he will still be a game-time
decision. We would like to try and get him out, but you have to make a
decision at what point do you aggravate it a little bit before he
plays. "The more time we can let it rest the better off he is going to
be."

*** FRIDAY UPDATE *** RB Chris Brown (Ten) did not practice on Friday
and will be a game-time decision.  However, the reports are the he
will not play. ''[Brown] is doing more inside, nothing outside,''
coach Jeff Fisher said. Brown has not practiced at all this week.
