ALL OF THE NEWS

NFL career (a 0.0 rating against the Cowboys).
*** THURSDAY UPDATE *** QB Matt Mauck (Den) has been released by the team.
QB David Carr (Hou) did not practice on Wednesday due to stomach
illness, but he is expected to start as usual this weekend.
*** THURSDAY UPDATE *** QB David Carr (Hou) returned to practice as

Roethlisberger will start in place of Maddox. Brian St. Pierre will
be the team's #2 QB.
QB Neil O'Donnell (FA) has declined a request by the Steelers to
return to the NFL as the team's backup QB.
QB Drew Brees (SD) suffered a light concussion in week two but was
able to participate in the team's walkthrough on Monday and practice
on Wednesday. He expects to start as usual this weekend.
QB Ken Dorsey (SF) will again start for the team this weekend as Tim
Rattay has not recovered from his injured shoulder and did not
practice on Wednesday. Note that when Rattay is healthy, he is not a
lock to regain the starting job.
*** THURSDAY UPDATE *** QB Tim Rattay (SF) practiced on Thursday and
could be the team's backup QB this weekend.
*** THURSDAY UPDATE *** QB Mark Brunell (Was) was very limited in
Thursday's practice and will likely sit this weekend.
QB Patrick Ramsey (Was) will likely start this weekend to allow Mark
Brunell more time to recover from the hamstring injury that was
suffered in week two.

of the first team practice snaps on Thursday and will likely start
this weekend.
Running Backs

Thursday. He has been upgraded to probable on the team's injury
report and is expected to start this weekend.
*** THURSDAY UPDATE *** FB James Lynch (Cin) has been released by the team.
RB Dee Brown (Cle) has been released by the team.
RB Lee Suggs (Cle) did not fully participate in Wednesday's practice
session. Suggs has yet to take any contact as he attempts to return
from a neck stinger. The release of fellow RB Dee Brown could mean
that Suggs is nearing a return to action.
*** THURSDAY UPDATE *** RB Lee Suggs (Cle) has finally resumed taking
contact, but it was only him and a blocking sled (and a trainer
keeping a close watch). He is still day-to-day and will need to
improve greatly to see the field this weekend.
RB Richie Anderson (Dal) practiced on Wednesday and expects to play
this weekend.
RB Julius Jones (Dal) will miss at least two months and could be
placed on the IR list with a broken shoulder.
*** THURSDAY UPDATE *** RB Tatum Bell (Den) missed most of Thursday's
practice due to a light rib injury. He is still expected to play this
weekend.
RB Quentin Griffin (Den) is still the man in Denver. HC Mike Shanahan
stood behind Griffin, saying he didn't want to overemphasize the
fumble. Overall, he has been pleased with the way Griffin has handled
the ball. "It wasn't somebody getting stripped, which is a big
difference," Shanahan said. "He'll be fine." Griffin doesn't appear to
be in any danger of a reduction in playing time. "I'm not concerned at
all," Shanahan said.
RB Garrison Hearst (Den) did not practice on Wednesday but still hopes
to play this weekend.
*** THURSDAY UPDATE *** RB Garrison Hearst (Den) only partially
participated in Thursday's practice and might rest for another week to
fully heal.

the sidelines) and could sit another week with his injured knee.

weekend's game.
RB Ran Carthon (Ind) has the perfect first name for an RB. Plus, he
has been signed the Colts off the Cowboy's practice squad.
RB Edgerrin James (Ind) said on Monday that he plans to play this
weekend, but he did not practice on Wednesday. He is nursing a
hamstring injury and is questionable to see action against the
Packers. At the very least, it looks like Dominic Rhodes will get a
few more carries. If James can not go, Rhodes will start with James
Mungro as the team's backup RB.
*** THURSDAY UPDATE *** RB Edgerrin James (Ind) practiced very well on
Thursday and will start this weekend if he does not suffer a setback.
HC Tony Dungy says that James will start if he feels fine and
practices on Friday.

decent amount of carries this weekend in order to keep James fresh.

Thursday and should play this weekend.

not play this weekend due to his injured ankle. Derrick Blaylock is
expected to start for the team if Holmes does sit.
*** THURSDAY UPDATE *** RB Priest Holmes (KC) did not practice again
on Thursday and looks like a scratch for this weekend.
RBs Robert Edwards & Brock Forsey (FA) worked out for the Miami Dolphins.

participated in Thursday's practice and will likely sit out another
game.

is not fully known.
RB Ki-Jana Carter (NO) has been re-signed by the team.
RB Deuce McAllister (NO) did not practice on Wednesday and (even
though he is only listed as questionable for this weekend) will likely
miss 4 to 5 weeks with a partial ligament tear in his ankle. Aaron
Stecker will start in place of McAllister with Ki-Jana Carter getting
some carries as well.
RB Mike Cloud (NYG) may yet replace Dayne as the team's short yardage
back. Last season as a Patriot, Cloud converted on six of nine short
yardage conversions (2 yards or less for a TD or first down).
However, Cloud needs to be active to get on the field. Last week,
Cloud was deactivated as HC Tom Coughlin decided depth was needed at
other positions.
RB Ron Dayne (NYG) practiced on Wednesday and hopes to play this
weekend despite a calf injury.
*** THURSDAY UPDATE *** RB Ron Dayne (NYG) practiced again on Thursday
and should play this weekend.
RB LaMont Jordan (NYJ) has been the subject of trade rumors (with
Dallas, Oakland, and Tampa Bay as possible destinations). However, GM
Terry Bradway maintains that Jordan will remain a Jet for the entire
2004 season. Of course in NFL circles, that kind of statement is
often followed by a trade being completed within the week so we'll
stay on top of this.
RB Justin Fargas (Oak) practiced on Wednesday and should be able to
play this weekend. If Fargas is active, Amos Zereoue will likely not
be.
*** THURSDAY UPDATE *** RB Justin Fargas (Oak) practiced on Thursday
but has been named a game-time decision for this weekend.

expects to start week three.
